Dead spot is that zone in the rev range where the bike seems to lose power as if struggling for fuel or being ridden with the fuel knob off...

Guys wen i rev my engine upto 3.5k-4k in neutral, i hear the toolkit jingle ! Kinda annoying! Anyone else facing this ?

Naked Wolves - Pics

Hello guys! Here are some of the pics from yesterday's ride...
Sorry for the delay, was caught up yesterday.



































































Some of you wanted me to upload your single/bike pics and some of you didn't want me to..send me a pm as you like & ill either forward them or upload the rest here. (Btw, am not quite sure of your xbhp id's so, send me a pm anyway)

Wow !

Do we such a group in Delhi?

Nice pics. Loved all them especially the one with the bird.

I see a lot of bikes have pulsar written on their rims along with the rim tapes.

Is that a sticker and is it custom made or available along with rim tapes.

Well yesterday my frn got an extra horn. Total cost 200, 150(horn) & 50(mechanic). He didn't remove the stock horn, just added another Bajaj Pulsar Horn. The sound was pretty loud enough, my suggestion would be to do the same thing.
As for the warranty thing even I am not sure

Well thx a lot getting my bike on 12th will sure post my feedback if I do buy gloves

Even I wanna know the same thing

Awsome clicks bro..That was one hell of a ride..awiting for few more in future
It was nice meeting you all in person...And rahul sir respect for you..you are best at everything !!!!

I went to JC road on saturday itself and bought the SCOYCO gloves..blue and black matching with my bike...i checked out 5-6 shops and finally went for these as they looked the best of all in terms of quality and comfort..will post a pic soon..you can check it out later..

So finally you have your second post here bro and that too with these beautiful pics..awesome stuff man..you will be our professional photographer in every ride we do together...
Yeah do mail me solo pics as well along with all other pics to my inbox..

Got the first service done at 520km yesterday from Dewan Motors SVC Nr. Okhala.

They have a different section for bikes like Duke, Ninja, Pulsar 220 and the NS. I dealt with Mr. S. Chaudhary, soft spoken person. Since this was my first service so he explained what all is normally done with this bike - changing of engine oil and oil filter, cleaning and lubing of chain, adjustment of chain slack and radiator fans.

For engine oil change he gave me the option the Normal DTSi oil (Rs.370) and Motul Synthetic oil (Rs.780) and recommended that i go for the synthetic one as it has more viscosity (as per him), but I asked him to put the DTSi oil for the moment and next time i shall go for the Synthetic oil once my bikes crosses 2500 km.

He asked if wanted to get a Teflon coating done, i said no.

My bike did not have any issues except the Left RVM being loose. Got that adjusted.

The rear shock was set at 2nd softest position, got it adjusted to 4th softest setting. The bike now is a bit more stiff in the rear section.

Coolant was topped up.

I could stand next to the bike during service. But i did not see or remember the air filter being cleaned. Where exactly is it located? couldnt find it in the owners manual.

The chain was cleaned using some kind of oil - i guess it was kerosene. and was lubed using a substance similar to WD-40. They do not use any specific Chain lube like OKS as is shown in the manual.

P.S. - Also saw the Ninja 650 yesterday as it had come for an oil change. Amazing bike. Killer looks. Metallic lime green colour. Fattest tire (front and rear) i have ever seen. Engine sound is pure music for the ears.

The only one negative was a huge saree guard covering the entire left rear portion (from top to bottom). To fit that even the left rear grab rail was removed.

What and how exactly to do that, dude?? Could you please elaborate??

Its "False neutral", thats I am pretty. @Shibadip has explained below what exactly it it. I have observed that the gear actually gets stuck between neutral and second gear while shifting up from first to second. I can feel its past neutral (half step from 1st) and they stuck after that. A little push upwards and it engages to 2nd. No neutral indicator when it is stuck, which clearly shows its false neutral and not true neutral. For me sometimes due to lazy shift it gets stuck in true neutral but then neutral indicator goes flashing.

I have been facing this issue from day 1 bro. Its embarrassing when your are in front row on a signal and this thing happens while taking off..

Only thing is I push it up to go to 2nd rather than going back to 1st.

@All:

My NS is done with her 1st service on last Saturday. It was on ODO 834km. I went to Sai services, Paud Phata. I told him all the issues I am facing:

1. Rear brake response not prompt: He tighten it.
2. Engine sounds kat-kat-kat over 3000rpm, may be tappet sound: It has actually increased now and engine more harsh. Have to go back to get it rectified.
3. Asked to increase idling rpm: Its not done.
4. Asked to adjust rear mirror. Its not done either, only he tighten the mirrors.
5. Looks like he poured used engine oil on chain. Its all sticky and oil sprays all over the alloys etc.
6. No oil change as i told him i changed oil @400km. He didnt make any fuss. Only changed oil filter.
7. Fitting of indicator buzz. 100 bucks.
8. Bike is not washed properly. Dirt on bottom of engine, inside of mudguards not washed.
9. Told about gear issue while going up from 1st to 2nd, seems nothing is done as i didnt feel any change.

Overall, the bike was smooth after service but it all went back to normal after few kms.

Total expense: 226 Rs = 67 for oil filter + 100 for indicator buzz + rest (don't remember)

He had no issue regarding watching the bike getting serviced. Thats a plus, but I couldn't be there as there was long que of bikes and was not sure how much time will it take for my NS to go on service bay.

I will have to go back to svc to check about the engine harshness, gear shift - false neutrals (hope he knows what to do).

PS: Did motomax dashboard polish to all vinyl parts. It really makes difference, easy to apply. It beads water well. Removing dirt is easy. And the black parts get a kind of gloss. The polish claims to have UV protection. Its 90 bucks for 100ml.

Couldn't get 3M liquid wax polish. Went to 3M car care@Baner and JM, Carex balewadi. The baner guy haven't even heard of such product . They have Meguires products. Its polish costs whopping 820 bucks. I would rather buy Collinite 845. Gonna try waxpol carnauba wax now. ArmorAll is also costly. Saw Formula1 polishes (big yellow containers 320/-) but they had abrasive in them so didn't buy.

Also trying to find OKS chain spray. Anyone knows any place in pune where I can get it??

Labour charges are too much bro..it is supposed to be free in first service..however they will add some miscellaneous charges but i guess your bill should not have incrreased more than Rs600..most of us got the first service done within Rs 600...

Even i saw Ninja650 when i went for service..bike looks superb and huge although as you said Huge saree guard was simply a put off..totally unnecessary...took away all the beauty of the bike...

Well there seems to be issues with bike for almost everyone now & these SVC ppl are useless as usual. I request all the riders to be little more hard on SVC manager. We paid 1l for bike, not a small amount.

Now they are ripping off in service
