You switched to Fully synthetic way too early, you should have stuck to mineral or semi synthetic at least until 5k. But then these vibration could also be because of loose fittings.

What is the difference between 4t and 4 stroke oil?

bro.. These are not the drawbacks.. None of them are to be considered untill u love the stock tyres... It loses the flic character means the 200ns behaves like a 220.. And feels much more stable.. Regarding the hieght.. U will get used to it.. Overall i can say that this machine rocks with these pirelli tyres

Thanks Bro,Will do that asap.

First of all carbs are tuned by turning the that AFR screw, with a screw driver only. If you are so obsessed with technology you might even use a motorized one, but it still be a screwdriver.

Secondly, reading spark plugs is enough in most cases for proper tuning. For problem cases, people even do plug chops, at time when the most sophisticate devices are there. Because at the a carb is a pure mechanical device, sans some Auto Choke carbs. In case FI you require specific equipment.


I'm a previous owner of a 220 DTSi.. and have completed more than 5000Kms. here are my points, compared to 220.

The Good Bits:

• Easy access to "boot" space, unlike 220, where the side panels were required to be removed.
• All bits of bike are solid and positive in construction, like the fiber panels, seats etc.
• A looker in every sense. Even after 5K Kms of ownership, I still stare at the magnificent design elements incorporated into the bike.
• Superb fuel efficiency compared any other bike in it's class. Even after following Motoman's method, I'm getting about 45+Kmpl in city with lot of right hand twists.
• Super agile and even super CoG. Once on the bike, it's feels lighter than a 150 CC bike.
• It's REV hungry. In my 220, I seldom saw the OVER REV warning blinking, in 200NS on a bit open stretch of road, It requires lot of self control to not get that light flash.
• Superb brakes.
• And over and above, it's a superb handler. As good as the R15, but without the super sports stance, very comfortable and yet sporty. Taking corners are much more fun!

The Not So Good Bits:

• Switch gear feels of lower quality than the 220.
• No self cancelling indicators.
• Rear foot pegs are flimsy, and don't have rubber grips.
• Quiet a lot of vibes post 4K RPM, and this is there in at least 9-10 of NS i have ridden. Though its way lesser than even a brand new 220.
• Post 130Kmph on speedo, the rear become unstable.
• Tyres are good for daily commute, but skids very easily on dust/sand/gravel.
• In stop-and go traffic, a bit of heat is felt at thighs. The hot air exhausts from the vents in side panels, in traffic the thighs cover this area partially.
• Maintenance is a pain. For Air Filter, the whole tank panel is required to be removed. Even the fuses are not easily accessible and require tool, unlike 220.

The ugly issues:

• A "loose" nut kinda sound from the engine head area (seems to be tappet, but is not). With helmet "on" not much audible though, its common to almost 80% bikes.
• Lot of areas are sticker jobs, and they will eventually peel off especially the front mudguard ones.

Over all, very satisfied with the bike.










Not much details are there. Don't know the jet sizes and all. What info you are looking for?


Actually what most people are not taking into consideration is that the digital meter is not calibrated with the reserve knob. Infact without any bars in the indicator, there is atleast more than 500ml of fuel left.



300V is Fully Synthetic, racing oil. Don't go for it till 5K. 3100 is the preferred Oil post 1st svc. Shell Advance AX7 is also good oil though, but not sure if its FS or SS.



I hope you start munching miles as soon as possible. Not sure about the watts, but it provides 14.6Volts.

And Rahul, post a detailed review of the REVZ-S, compared to stock ones. I'm planning to go for them as well.


Though not recommended, if nothing else, try spraying some diesel on the discs. Wipe them off with a cloth and then ride the bike slowly for a km with the brakes partially depressed to get the bite back. This should solve it in most cases, but don't do it regularly.

For your second issues get your starter relay checked ASAP. In most cases, it's just a simple loose nut on the starter relay, in rare cases it might be the culprit.


Yes, there is a specific vibe which kicks in at 4K RPM.

I also have the same problem and it is indeed a disc warp, which the service centre people deny that even exists. I have very little time for now to find a solution. I Will have it fixed by this weekend or replace the disc.

It is covered under warranty ,so shoot a mail to Bajaj,or contact the Manager of service at ASC, and pressure him to change it,holding him responsible for any braking incidence on the road...Give it in writing and I am sure things will happen.

nothing much bro... Just tuned the bike properly and it became smooth...btw my bike was always smooth... Regarding gear-shift, the mechanic opened the engine casing on the gear side and then adjusted the clutch, the shifts are quite smooth now... People who are locking up their rear wheel, please loosen the rear brake pedal and increse the freeplay to the max... No matter how hard you brake, it wont lockup until you want it to lockup intentionally...hope this helps... @rahuldevnath: thanx bro... Anyways i am still on stock tyres... I am not getting the new front....out of stock... So will change both together...the revz-s is still lying with me... But as per dip who changed to revz, he is giving very good review...

Pulsar 200NS petrol ?

Which is the best petrol for pulsar 200NS . The normal unleaded petrol or premium petrol like speed, xtra premium etc.
The compression ratio of NS is 11:1 and I read somewhere that engines with compression ratio of more than 10:1 require premium petrol but the price of premium petrol is Rs10/litre more than normal petrol in my area.
Please provide your suggestions.

A funny incident happened today... A guy suddenly shouted looking at my bike, "hey look n8 n8" maybe he confused n8 with ns And guys am on 219 kms now...engine has freed up a lot...very revv hungry. Unable to control... Ripped it a few times today... And unintentionally pissed a cbr250r owner and he was determined to overtake me later on...maybe he got insulted being taken down by a pulsar... had a nasty wheelie while shifting from 1st to 2nd at 10k rpm with throttle pinned with a pillion on board...he was literally hanging on for dear life... Just bloody impressed with the performance...its tasty and nasty in a single package... changed the headlight bulb and visibility is now outstanding...better than any indian bike till date...Lastly i need a help... My right side pilot lamp fell inside the pilot housing... How do a take that thing out...plz help right now only left side is glowing...

what may be the reason for break disk heating after a ride? front disk is showing normal heat, i think its normal but rear disk is over heating

Check if chain tensioner is aligned to same points on each side.

Any news of the centre stand in bengalore or kerela....if someone has got one..which svc??

91 octane petrol is good enough for NS. All metros have 91 octane petrol, even the normal unleaded ones. Premium fuels are better only in terms of additives and the branding which ensure quality, not Octane rating. (apart from specific fuels like Speed 97)

Many in Bangalore have got the centre stand. Khivraj Kasturba Road, generally has a good stock of them.

Which headlight bulb you installed?

For the pilot bulb, just get hold of a "plucker" or tweezers to pull it out. If that doesn't work I'm afraid you will have to remove the headlight assy and shake it get the bulb back. And even that's 10 mins job as well.

It has been almost 2 months since the NS has been launched in Kolkata, And still there is No Spares available. Not even the necessary things like the Oil Filter which needs to be replaced during the 1st service!! Or even the center stand!!!!

1stly Bajaj showed a step-motherly treatment towards Kolkata while launching the NS, and now it's the same with the spares.
This Surely calls for negative marks..
