            Yeah I'm absolutely sure.
            Actually I believe that my bike does not have that much speedo error. I checked mine with an R15 V1.0 , Fazer 150 , karizma ZMR ,etc and there was barely a difference of 1-2 kmph between these bikes & mine. And NILL difference between my NS & my friend's R15.

            • Went to the svc today. Dismantled the bike and got it refitted. Much reduction in vibrations. The bike looks so small without the fiber tank. :P

                Hi Guys,

                Posting after a long time here.
                I am at 5300 kms on ODO.. Got my second service done at 4700kms, changed the oil to Motul 5100.
                No major issues, just the normal console buzzing.
                Got my rear tire changed to MRF REVZ-S. The grip on wet roads is just awesome. But yeah bike feels a little heavy on the rear now.

                Even bought a Spartan Helios Jacket for my safety.

                Some pics from Naked wolves ride to Manchanabele Dam, one with me with all the riding gear On.

                ATGATT! There are many wonderful riders/drivers out there who would intrude in your riding space without any notice. Be prepared. Stay Safe.

                • It's really sad to read about so many issues on the day of delivery of bike.

I used my dtsi for 1k kms and it became completely black and like coca-cola and its good to see some owners actually admitting the faults of the bike.... Me too being an owner admit that this bike have very poor handling..... Only thing the chasis can do is cornering....but still, if roads are bit patched, it will start shaking... No straight line stability whatsover....total nonsense handling. A very confused bike from bajaj...i faced a huge backlash when i told these long back...but truth is truth....bajaj still dont know how to make a chasis... The bike is very shaky... Just hate the handling....its very scary and the rear jumps up every now and then...

                  Feels as if the front part will fall of. Infact I was so scared on the other day, I tried tightening the nuts and bolts myself in the front part but found nothing to be loose. The bike is not at all smooth now. It feels harsh. 5th time the bulb got fused. Not sure if the disk is bent or not, but a tiny khis khis noise comes to the ears if I am riding down a slope with the engine off. Bike is at 11,894k kms. Mileage and acceleration has also taken the hit. Getting 28kmpl in city and 30ish on highways. Acceleration has gone as low as the P150 or lower and feels little sluggish post 6k RPM. Only took the bike above 8k on two occasions, i.e. once trying to check the max speed and once I was in real hurry to reach home and I was 30kms away on highway. Other than that, you can say I rode it sanely under 80kmph all the time. Very sad now.

                  Gonna visit the svc tomorrow for the 3rd and final free service.

                  Please suggest if post free services, should I continue going to probiking or should I try outside in the likes of Castrol SVCs and BOSH SVCs. Have never been to these SVCs, so I don't know their service quality.

                  • Correction, Was made by motul, they have changed the manufacturers now, thus the change in oil quality.
                    Lot of fakes for castrol, and the oil is just no good, the mineral oil that is, loses viscosity in just over 1500kms.

                    Try the following,
                    1.Clean the sprockets(front and back, tighten chain), this will cause a HUGE difference in ride quality, a loose chain can cause the ride quality to insanely disturbing levels.
                    2.Clean the air filter or get a new one,will make engine less harsh and smooth running.
                    3.Since last service if you were running on same oil (ie for neraly 5k kms) and that too if it was the bajaj oil, then you are almost 3000kms + late for an oil change.
                    4.Kis kis noise might be the chain running dry, lube it and clean sprocket, if its from the disk, pressure wash the pads or apply sand paper.

                    From what you said, im assuming you have not tried any of the above steps , so its safe to assume that its this long service intervals to blame. The older pulsars had a service interval of 2500kms which is some some strange reason 5000kms now i guess.

                    Do try out these steps and revert back here on how much has changed

                    Cheers

                    • I really like this bike in yellow colour. I have few questions related only to performance. I hope all the NS dudes will answer me.

                      1) Whats the max speed you have done sitting in fully upright postion? (Kindly mention your body weight)
                      2) Whats the max speed you have done with a pillion on board? (Kindly mention your's and the pillion's body weight)
                      3) Is it possible to cruise all day at 130kmph on speedo? (Considering that fact that its relatively tall geared than Duke 200)

                      Please answer these 3 questions. Thanks a lot in advance!

                        Did not switch to Fully Synthetic Oil... So didn`t stay on Redline of the RPM for more than 2-5 secs (Motoman Break-in)... So I cannot say this is the best numbers... Read these numbers remembering SS Oil was being pumped in my beast`s heart:

                        1). Top Speed - 95 kmph upright - body weight: 74 kgs.
                        2). Top Speed - 128 kmph with a pillion of weight 87 kgs.
                        3). I am not sure of 130... but I am sure this boy can do a 120 - 125 kmph all day.

                        Hope this helps!

                          (1) About 144Kmph, post that it gets difficult to maintain stability. But there are many factors, including cross winds, road gradient which makes difference. My weight about 76Kgs.

                          (2) 135 Kmph with a combined weight of 142Kgs.

                          (3) The bike is capable of cruising at 130Kmph all day long, but not the rider. Vibes, wind resistance makes it difficult. On open road, about 110Kmph is a comfortable cruising speed for day long rides!

                          (all speedo indicated)
