To be quite frank, none of the svc mechanics in Mysore seem to be good regarding this (Very limited knowledge). svc near Vijaya bank circle is absolutely pathetic. Do not go there.

Ok thanks for your suggestion but I think I broke the run in period by speeding my ride above 100 2-3 times. Is it any worth NOW to ride below 60 ?
I have no problem with the run in period as far as it keeps the engine in mint condition but after my mistake of speeding, will driving slow now have any effect ?

Brother a small correction, although whatever you said is nothing wrong, still trying to make it technically more correct , 'wheel spin' is the term used for a completely different thing in automobiles... As wiki puts it "A wheelspin, occurs when the force delivered to the tire tread exceeds that of available tread-to-surface friction and one or more tires lose traction."


Well once in rain I did have a whell spin but rear tyre skid never happened.
I guess you know how i ride and given the Indian roads we need to brake often, so I use everything starting from rear brake to front brake to the engine to get the desired effect, well that might be the reason of the rear tyre not skidding.

Its fine if u have ripped it a couple of times... nothing to worry

Today I was sitting on my terrace and my friend who had borrowed my bike was coming back to the hostel. I could hear the sound even sitting there. He was riding slow @ around 30 kmph. The sound is so noticeable at lower gears. Will be going to the svc next week. Pls inform me if u happen to visit before me...

Oops.. My wrong Choice Of Words..
Nicely pointed out by the way. Eye for detail.. huh???

Ya, I have quite an A=idea about ur riding Style
But, about me, I had the same riding style, while my prv bike P150, or while riding other's bike.
This rear tyre skidding has hardly ever happened earlier. Got to check other NS in Kolkata as well..

Hi Guys,
Got my NS on 19 Sept 12. M kind a new to biking & wasn't told even a bit about the running period of engine by the dealer however
had some idea to keep the bike speed upto a max 60 km/h till 1st servicing. After 1st servicing had a long distance travelling of around 116 kms at a constant speed of 90 km/h but hadn't noticed anything unusual except a little engine rattling sound but today when I read the manual I came to know that the running in period of the bike is of 2000 km & all of sudden I realised that the rattling sound may be due to my long distance travelling at high rpms. Hence experts pls advice what may be the possible reason of engine rattling sound & can it be rectified. Also when I try to upshift or downshift all the gears in a single clutch pull at 0 km/h with my engine turned on I am unable to do so (there is no problem in upshift or downshift while riding) beyond one or two gears. Is there a problem with my gearbox or is it normal with all 200 ns because after this incident I actually tried the same thing on honda (unicorn) & yamaha (fzs) & the gear shifting on them is working as smooth in stand still as while riding.

i've loosened my rear brake completely to the maximum....how hard you brake it doesn't lock up easily... There is a screw behind the rear brake lever pedal which is situated quite low in a vertical position... Adjust that screw to make it loose... The brake light might not work after that, so you have to adjust another screw above and behind the lever to adjust it...

For guys who want a to know about tyres, i've already changed the tyres and done 100kms on them. Rear revz-s and front zapper fx... I would say i am just blown over with the grip...specially rear one...it sticks like glue with very hard cornering....(shibadip will know the place where i was fined yesterday...i took those first two corners at around 80-82 and the last sweeping left leading to the flyover i exited it at close to 95...) i was hell scared because my bike was going close to the divider so i just leaned it further and further to the limits but the tyre was literally gripping like a leech... Amazing... Btw revz-s looks much fatter that the stock... The only downside it i could feel the lower accelaration after changing both the tyres as if i am riding on hot asphalt...the tyre is gripping so much...its kind of overgripping... And someone posted about his access 125 which rotates its wheel when in neutral...all i can say is LOL.. First of all where the hell did you find neutral in it...? It have a variometric gearbox brother...there is no clutch...or rather i would say a centrifugal clutch i guess... You just twist the throttle and go... So you will see the rear wheel rotating whenever, wherever, however you twist the throttle.. In bikes you have gear and clutch... @all: today suddenly i am having a chik chik sound from front wheel...probably disc and caliper... And its extreamely extreamely extreamely loud...so loud that i can hear from inside the helmet and on lookers are turning and trying to find the source of the sound... And that tappet noise is bloody irritating...hate it... First time today my gearbox became an automatic gear....downshifts at will...and that gear lever getting free is annoying.....mileage now is 36-37... Odo around 485kms... Need to give for 1st service...badly need an oil change...

@RahulBarik: Empty your inbox plz...can't send u a PM until u clear it out.
Anyways,here's what I wanted to PM: Firstly where do u stay in Kolkata? I'm also planning to get a Yohe or LS2 after Pujas...So we can buy together and bargain a bit as well. What say?
What are the price quotes u got for both the brands?

Two More pics, from my recent ride..

Daar ke Aage jeet HAi!!





Kiyunki Cheetah bhi Peeta Hai!!!

Hey all,

Today morning I got ready for my office and as went to my garage to take out my bike, I could see it lying on the floor .. I lifted the bike up. I could see the number plate bent inside and some minor scratched on indicator.. As well, I could smell petrol around. When I did a close check, I noticed petrol spread on the floor, bikes' pressed steel frame from below the tank till the gear shift lever. What would be the probable reason for this? Around 3-4 ltrs of petrol is der in tank and the fuel knob was in ON position whole night. Is this is a serious issue? I have never seen this prob in my older bikes? Do I need to take to SVC? Help appreciated.

Bas...case kore diyechis bike-tar.
Automatic transmission???? you mean it shifts on it own...hows that possible?
I thought you changed your oil at ~100kms?
You sure that chik-chik sound isn't because of the tyre change or any mud in the discs?

i only quoted it.. it is automatic gearless scooter leave about that.....

Arre bhai am I talking about @rahulbarik's auto transmission on his bike...not your access 125.

I have owned a 220 for 3 long years, and some 40K Kms with lot of 500Km plus rides. Let me get this straight. There's NO RAW POWER in 220, it just the grunt of the exhaust, vibes and the riding position which makes it feel like a more powerful bike.

Im touching now about 6000Kms on 200NS, with some heavy dose of long highway rides. Considering that atleast twice a week I have to ride to my office on open highways, I can vouch that the 200NS is WAY MORE A BETTER SPORTS TOURER!

200NS is way more, agile, stable, flickable and faster than the 220.
However, there are few instances where 220 score over 200NS.

(1) Off Roading- While on 220, you don't have ride on the footpegs that often while on bad roads, while on 200NS, one has to ride on the foot pegs, if the roads are bad, almost every time. But that's because of the stiffer suspension and the non-flexible chassis. Not a deal breaker though.

(2) With increasing load, like with a heavy pillion, one can feel the lack of 20CC.

Yet, in 95% of the condition 200NS is a much better bike, right from to the every single nut. Don't waste your money on 220. There was a time when I had doubts on my decision to move to 200NS, and today i'm loving every bit of it! It's amazing how the tiny 200CC motor, keep on building REVs even post 120Kmph! Even after ripping it for a non-stop 20-30Kms (120-140Kmph on speedo), I get an amazing fuel efficiency of 37Kmpl at exactly the same level, even my new 220, would have dropped to about 27Kmpl.



Access or for that matter all gearless scooters have Variomatic Transmission. Hence, when you twist the throttle it moves forward, in a geared bike, one has to engage the gears manually to make the bike move.



Loved the pics Shibadip!

The sound was from inside the gearbox, pretty much like the gears weren't getting slotted correctly. And I did press on the clutch while shifting. Same thing had happened once a month back from 3rd to 4th gear. I was worried but I eventually took it off my mind as I was more absorbed into how good the bike is! :P Anyway, this morning I got the clutch play adjusted and things are OK. The wheel doesn't spin when the clutch is held in gear. My vehicle's run 1628 kms and the run-in's completed. Gear shifts are still a little hard though.

Loved both the pics. Couldn't help noticing but I think it's alright to remove those tapes on the 'pulsar' logo! I did it on day 1!

I didn't really understand this point sir. Can you please elaborate?
