3k.!!! it is nice bro...
and what the hell is the crash guard falling off ? IF that's the case, when it falls there is no use of it na?
Was it correctly tightened?

Thats great mileage figures bro,where is the Reliance pump at Mavelikara..can you tell me the correct location?

That's nice mileage bro.


Yes you can. Take her upto 60. After first service, take upto 70-75. And some lil bursts for short times.



What the hell..



I think there is no such that calculations. The fuel meter is just a rough idea how much fuel is in the tank. Not accurate, kinda 2 bars = x liters...

thats a good news dude

Bajaj Crash guards are the worst you could find! My friend who had a p180 had a bad crash few months back! He said that the crashguard bent so much that it hit the engine block!~!

The crashguard are just bolted in our bikes. If you want strong ones, buy the ones like RX100 bar ...Even Unicorn's Butterfly type is strong enough

today a strange thing happend with my bike.

Bike has run 273 kilometers till today. there are 3 bars showing in the fuel gauge.

After riding for about 30 kms today my bike started to slightly loose power, then came back. then after another 15 km ride the power just went off as if it hit reserve, then i parked my bike on the road side turned the fuel knob to reserve and then started again it went smoothly.

Since i have been reading about the fuel gauge not showing the correct reading i just turned the fuel knob to the "ON" position and rode for almost 2 kms without any glitch.

During all this the orange indicator light on the console never lit even once. Hence my confusion if there is something wrong with the bike or the fuel gauge.

I will take a longer route today while returning home and check on this issue to confirm if it is still happening.

My bike has been responding very well to the throttle, clutch and gear shifts have been smooth except for a couple of false neutrals.

Also i have been riding in the RPM range of 4-6 k regularly. Could this be damaging the engine?

while riding today i felt that the engine is getting stressed at speeds above 60 km maybe because of the problem mentioned above.

Could there be any problem with AFR mixture be lean?

What could be causing this any idea?

Guys really need your help on this.

I beg to differ my friend. The crash guards being soft is a boon to the bike, and acts like a crumple zone in the monocoque chassis of the new cars.
The crash guards is stong enough to protect u ,while it is flexible enough to absorb all the actions and reactions of the crash and doesn't transfer it to the frame or other imp parts of the bike. Remember replacing the crash guard will be way cheaper than replacing the perimeter frame.


@all NS interested Kolkatans - Myth just called me, ensuring that the Revised price of NS (as per OSL thakhurpukur) is 100700/-[One lakh seven hundred] and NOT 107000/-.

Yeah...That sounds a solid reason! Thanks for the info...

But, why is that crash guards of Royal Enfield, Yamaha RX, Honda Unicorn, Splendor, etc are made more strong than that of Bajaj bikes>? They dont bent or break! And, those bikes dont get damaged too much during crashes!

Don't know the exact reason, but all of them are old gen models. So might be that they are carring on their age old design.

Abt bikes dont get damaged too much during crashes! - well leave out RE. It's of complete different genre, and it itself is a rock solid bike...
Abt others, well, u can never know the kind of damage it has done to the frame from naked eye. But it can certainly hamper the bike's handling.

Well, the reason the crash guard is made so that it would bend is if it is made of solid metal such that it wouldn't bend,
1. The weight of the bike will increase
2. It will become so sturdy that when you fall, instead of the crash guard bending and absorbing the impact, it will transfer the forces directly to the chassis. Now tell me which is easier + cheaper to fix if bent?

there was 1 video in which it showed ns reaching 151kmph and in that one guy commented it can reach 151kmph but to satisfy government norms it is written as 136kmph, but that's hard to believe since the Tyre of ns can with stand a maximum of 150kmph

That was my bike! And I really don't know about 'satisfying Govt. norms', but the NS has about 8% speedo error.


In other news, I've crossed 3000km on odo and had a few niggles like coolant leaking completely and crashguard falling off! The coolant leak was because of a loosely fitted radiator hose. About the crashguard I was completely astounded! I got squeezed into a footpath by an errant Maruti 800 driver and the moment the car touched the crashguard it just popped off and clanked away! Lots of panels and parts need tightening I guess so Im gonna strip the bike and put it back together soon.

The bike's giving me about 33-35kmpl, and I aint a slow rider by any measure. Pretty happy with the bike and don't miss my previous steed the R15 at all (except when out touring, loved the wind protection on the baby 'R')

Ok, now let me tell you that my LH, crash guard's lower nut has got cut!

Unfortunately, I have observed, that in case of crash, the crash guard won't bend, but will simply get cracked from the allen bolts end. Guys, check your bikes, the mounting point of crash guard will the first thing to break the nuts are very small and not strong enough!

no its fixed at 10.8k rpm..and its non-adjustable... Even the duke have a limiter at 10.5k and cannot be changed... Lev limiter is fixed on both...

limiter for duke is at 10500rpm and it is permanent .. dont know at what rpm for ns , but it will be permanent .. limiter is set to stop the engine from blowing up...
