    Hi guys,

    I'm currently at 3700km on ODO and have been experiencing a strange fuelling (?) issue for the past 200-300km.
    The bike feels like it's running out breath when approacing 7,000rpm and continues this till I'm almost at 8,000rpm.
    At 8,000rpm there's a sudden surge and the bike shoots off. This is very disconcerting while cruising on highways!
    If I pin the throttle when doing 100kmph, there's a lag of about 5-6 seconds after which the bike blasts off towards
    120kmph.

    Being used to my R15, I'm not too familiar with tuning the carb. Will need your help Rahul Devnath. I'm sure this is
    a tuning issue, though I'm confused as to how this issue could have started off by itself. No tuning was done by me
    or any mech...
    Yes, Akshay. Your bike does have that strange issue. But I doubt if it's purely due to improper tuning. Did you show it at AS?

      Hey fellow owners of NS!
      I have finished around 400km and planning to go for the first service at around 600 km. Had a couple of issues which were bugging me and want to sort them out during the first service. Your inputs on the below queries would be extremely helpful as I will have a better idea as to what to tell SVC guys.
      1. Suspension – I feel the suspension is a bit harsh and creates trouble even in case of not so big potholes. And pillions are also voicing the same opinion.

      Are you people satisfied with the suspension and how can this issue be sorted?

      2.Start – The bike gets turned off in less than 4 seconds if I start and do not squeeze the throttle at all or even if I squeeze it very lightly.

      Guess it has something to do with some settings right?

      3. Tyres – I felt the tyres shake a lot more than what my Pulsar 150’s did when I try to venture on the paint that separates two sides of a road or small gaps that exist at some place instead of the paint.

      Is there any way of fixing this without getting the tyres changed?

        Looks like a new member trying to ignite a fire even the post isnt well written, with a mish-mash of some random dudes' problems. if they really have so much problem with their bikes, i wonder how posting it on xbhp will solve it

        moreover, this thread has over half a million views already and more than 6000 replies. anyone else thinks the Pulsar 200NS is a "flop bike"?

          I don't want my bike to be running on leaner mixture, how to confirm which way is richer AFR..... anti-clockwise or clockwise.
          I am thinking of calling up the bajaj helpline.

            2. Switch to different grades as would void warranty and never know what problems it might create internally since engine is rev hungry.

            And did you mean 10W50 and not 10W40?? any xW50 is OK for NS as recommended grade is 20W50. Colder the normal ambient temperature lower should be x. I am running on 15W50 in Pune. I think in winters, 10W50 should be OK in Delhi.

            EDIT: 300v @ second service is too early, use it after 10000km. Right now you can just stick to SS (3100).

            Just my opinion..

In Delhi, it won't before end of November, before you can make use of lower grade oils, that too till about the end of JAN. But yes, we can use lower grade oil during winters. However cold start issues is will not be affected by using XXW40 instead of XXW50 grade oil. For cold performance, look for 00W50, 10W50 etc oil.
            Thanks for replies guys.....
            I had read in forums that going for FS oils is fine after 5k kms, any reasons to wait for 10k kms.....???

            How is motul 7100 20w50 compared to 300v, its much cheaper and its fully synthetic but with single ester as against double ester in 300v.
            The SVC guys were recommending me 7100 on the first service itself but I refused.
            Is motul available in 10w50....??

                Cool boss... Way to go.
                After tuning my Idle RPM is staying at 1.3k, without the engine stalling.

                    Observations

                    Guys my observation from 3 days ride:
                    1. Never skip the morning/first start method. Always keep the engine switched on for at least a min.
                    2. Gear gets stuck sometime but its starting to feel a lot smoother.
                    3. Bike is pretty smooth, only 110 kms done btw.
                    4. With every km, problems are reducing.
                    5. Rear view mirror is total waste Can any one please help me out there? I can't ride without that.
                    6. Little vibrations on my left leg, but not much.
                    7. RPM was at 2.3 K in first gear n after applying kill switch, it would come back to 1.7K

                    N another thing i wanna know is that today I was riding my around 60 KM/H & RPM was either at 4K or 5K.
                    In between my fiend did rip it a bit but not for more than 5 seconds.
                    I hope this wont affect my bike's engine right because as per manual we should not cross 50 KM/H

                    Kindly help me out and comment on my ridding as only 110 kms are done
                    Being best is not about beating everyone. It's about how much you learn from others and make yourself even better

                      I hear somoene calling my name...haha...
                      Nope...will be collecting it somewhere around (or along with) @rahulbarik's NS. No plans, just coincidence.
                      As far as your idle RPM is concerned, 1.3k to 1.7k is fine. So you should be cool with it.
                      And congos for the milestone!

                            I weight 58KG. With a pillion, the problem is not that much noticeable.

                                Its shouldnot be a problem infact little ripping once in a while is good as per many people on the forum .

                                And guys after the website update most of the funky emoticons are gone ,missing them
