Finally booked my first bike in Jai bajaj by paying an advance of Rs.10000/- and the dealer quoted me a delivery day within 10 days. From my childhood i have dreamed of owning a pulsar just by seeing this ad.. Pulsar - Nurse ad - YouTube but never thought that it would eventually become my first bike officially. Satisfied with the bike in all departments except that of the handling which during my short test ride felt little bit heavy in flick ability. Though certain things are compel to be loved when you get the comfort,style and VFM from bajaj. And the waiting starts........

My New Beast

Hi Guys got My Blue 200ns yesterday after a long period of waiting.

I got my bike delivered around 3:30pm and my friend also booked yellow 200ns ( will get his bike tommorow ) after the delivery filled full tank of Xtra Premium petrol (12ltrs 820rs ).My bike was having good vibrations so to clarify that i contacted Jayakrishnan so he told me that its usual at low speed and took it for pooja at nearby temple after the pooja started travelling to cochin (about 150Km from kollam) mean while my bike started leaking fuel i dint notice the leak ( i think it stared after running 45km) it was after 6pm a passerby told me that my bike is leaking something and i suddenly stoped the bike and checked it was leaking fuel from a small tube from the right side of the engine its air pump (i think its around 6:30) stil my bike is showing full tank fuel and the meter is not even changing i pulled down to a mechanic so they told me they have to remove the bike side cover because its a new bike its better to show it in the SVC. I immediately called the SVC and shouted.I told them to help me they replied that the svc is closed they cant do anything i was really mad ( i think i had an minor attack too he he just kidding )

I switched off my fuel and the leaks stopped and then turned own the leaks started again I dont even know what to do at that time luckly my classmates house was near so took the bike to his house and i was checked the speedo the fuel is still full and completed 65km.Switched off the fuel and took a bus to cochin.
Pros and COns

Pros
* Awsome Handling
*Awsome Comfort ( i will rate Best in class )
*Superb Looks ( Loved Naked bikes )
*Nice Riding

Cons
*Vibrations ( Vibrations made me little bad and sometimes also enjoyed it )
*Fuel Leaking problem i faced ( Now i am sure that its bajaj who made this bike )
*Lack of Tank Knee Support

guys something is going wrong......

got my bike serviced on monday and told the mech to set the AFR to a little richer.
I was there myself, he turned the screw anti-clockwise and the bike is behaving like richer AFR, High revving nature problem is gone, it moves from standstill with negligible throttle opened..................

I told him that richer setting is clockwise, but he confirmed that it is fuel supply screw so he made more passage space by moving the screw outward a little............

so wats the fact about AFR screw, please confirm it from some reliable source

Exactly buddy, I'm in a same confusion right now.
Was getting quite irritated with the Dead spot and the bad Low end Torque problem on my NS. So yesterday thought of doing a proper tuning of the bike. But while tuning, Turning the screw anti-clockwise felt that the bike is getting a richer mixture. After making quite a few anti-clock turns, the RPM wasn't getting down. So did the setting where I felt the throttle crisp with every blips.
Took a test ride, And then all the problems were gone. The bike felt butter smooth with linear power delivery all through the RPM range, and also found a better low end torque as well. The bike is rolling off from ZERO, in the 1st gear, just by the release of the clutch (without even touching the throttle). The ride really brought a big grin on my face . But the test was done just after the tuning, and thus the engine was hot. (the current AFR screw setting has more ANTI-CLOCKWISE turns than what was there in the original condition)
Has been raining from morning today, so couldn't check how the bike performs when cold. Am very eager to test my DESTINY in the cold condition.


So @Rahuldevnath / Other seniors - Would you please confirm this thing????

After completing nearly 2700 kms my bike all of a sudden started to wobble. I asked 2 of my friends to check the same and they clarified its there. On taking the bike to the svc they found that the rear wheel hadg bulged a little. They gave me some letter and asked me to visit the tvs tyres company outlet onmonday and get it replaced after getting it checked by them.
My question's -
will it be covered under warranty.?
can just a small bulge create hell lot of shaking even at 20-30 kmph.?
i have decided not to ride it until Monday and get the tyre changed.

Hey Hitesh, Checkout this Image which was posted by Rahul Devnath Sir.

Hello guys, I feel the fuel on/reserve knob is too tight. Is it the same with other 200NSs as well.

The fist service was done for 550Rs. Dtsi engine oil, coolant oil 100ml, lubrication charges.
The issue of the bike favouring the left side while both hands removed has been sorted to a large extent.

Overall the service was good except for the grease part.

While i was riding home, I found that the rear brake was not working. When i inspected, there was some grease on the disc. the service guys were very ignorant. The only thing they were good at was thorough service of the engine and lubrication (including discs).

After service, the bike is giving a consistent mileage between 45 and 50., throttle response improved, engine sound smoother, acceleration is great. It has now become tough for me to leave the bike and do anything else. I even went for a ride at 1am today on the highway.

Its your first bike, isn't it mate? Don't worry, you will feel the flickability in some time. The more the miles you clock, the more familiar you become with the bike's characteristics. Even I felt that my P150 has got turning radius of Jupiter as compared to my friend's Honda Shine when I bought it, but now I can pop it in those places in traffic I never thought of.
get acquainted with the NS, you'll LOVE IT for sure.

Ans 1: Yes, it should be covered under warranty. Tyre manufacturers cannot throw in faulty tyres, which I suppose is your case. That paper thingy the SVC guys gave you must be something that can help you claim replacement.

Ans 2: Yes. A small bulge can cause this kind of shaking. Not sure if anyone had experienced it but in my tube type tyres with less air, the bike behaves like a drunkard. Handling goes to bad from OK. If you have seen weights on some bikes(especially the HMC ones) they are very light in weight but are present to balance the wheels. A slight misplace of weight,here and there, will cause wobbling.

I believe you are mentioning wobbling and not the literal shaking.

Actually, what you guys have felt, I have felt too. That is that turning the screw ANTI-CLOCKWISE after few turns, makes the bike more crisper, though with symptoms of a leaner bike still existing . However, from the initial stock settings, I can confirm that ANTI-CLOCKWISE does, lower the Idle RPM, makes bike gasping for breath, increases mileage. So, one thing is sure that anti-clockwise makes the mixture leaner for, atleast initially. UCD33 is a new carb, the biggest on any Indian bike. And unfortunately, even the mechs at SVC centre will not have 100% knowledge about it. (Remember all other Bajaj bike carbs works exactly the opposite). Only way to be confirm is to hook up the bike to CO% meter and check the figures. But right now i'm testing my bike with leaner mix, that is turning the screw anti-clockwise. I will check the spark plugs after about 500Kms of riding and then confirm.

Actually I was also looking for the thing you wrote in Bold. But that did'nt happen in my case, even after turning the screw ANTI-CLOCKWISE to 5-6 revolutions. So, I'm still confused, at what setting is my bike in. Thus the only way to check will be the CO2 test.

BTW< can you guide me how to open and check the spark plugs?? Do i need to have nay special euipment to pull out the spark plug??

I haven't checked the stock tool kit, but there should be a spanner for opening the spark plugs. Spark Plugs are just screwed in, just rotate it anticlock wise to unscrew it.

Now, I would like to confirm one thing from all NS users: Does you Bike, increase the the idle RPM abruptly? It should happen the bike is on low fuel, like when it comes to reserve?

I had posted this question before - Are there any proper solution to the oil sensor issue and the rpm issue (engine turning off) etc. I think it must be escalated to Bajaj so that they fix these issues once and for all. Dont you agree folks?

K,, will check out with ur query, once I get to reserve.

ANother Question buddy.
Can The snatchy/Float feel, and bad Low end toruqe be felt if the bike is running on a Richer mix??

Yes, there's a solution. And it has been discusses numerous times on this thread. For the Oil Sensor, get this component replaced under warranty. Rest is just matter of adjusting the carb properly.



YES! If the carb is too-rich. But event then bike will have bassy sound. Something is differnt with this carb. I sometime feel, that when i'm now running lean, the bike automatically increase the RPM, or some how compensates.

Motul 300v price in your area....

Hey guys I'll be going for the second service of my bike in two three weeks and have decided to pour the motul 300v 15w50. Just wanted to know for how much it retails, here in Delhi I was quoted 970 rupees for a can.

Also since the winters would be round the corner by the time of second service should it be better to pour 10w40 instead of 15w50 for the winters. I used to follow this strategy with my FZ and it worked superbly and my bike had no cold start issues and was smoother than my friend's FZ in the winters.

@rahulbarik dada u mentioned to have tried different grades of oil during different seasons in your bike, what's your take doing the same with the NS....??
