  • P.S: Drain interval is 2.5k only for mineral oil and bajaj oil.
    With Motul 5100 SS oil you can stretch it for 4-4.5k kms without any problem.

    And regarding the clutch pulling, its not needed, use the choke, that's why it is provided, for assisting in cold start, set idle rpm during warm condition to 1.5k rpm too.
    And unnecessary engaging of clutch decreases clutch plate life.

    The tire pressure seems right. Also do note to measure tire pressure on a cold tire and not after running a few kms, there is difference in both.

    Oh..!! and the mileage is just fine.

    One more issue, during cold starts, I am not using the choke and the warm idle is set at 1350-1400 RPM. During cold starts, I shift into neutral and pull in the clutch. Many times there is loud grinding sound from the engine / clutch. Also, there is a CONSIDERABLE change in engine noise during cold starts when pressing / releasing the clutch in Neutral.

    I am getting 36 kmpl (hard riding) and 41.5 - 42 kmpl under sedate riding. I am running 27 Psi front and 36 Psi rear air pressure with the riding solo. Is it OK for a NS to return such figures?

    Cheers

    As i said , clutch plate gets worn off prematurely.

All they have got now are the oil filters and probably the air filters.The name of the dealer is 'Auto Aquarium' near Khadina More,Chinsurah. @all:does the NS have any kind of transmission fluid like in cars and if yes will changing it improve the gear shift quality to any extent?
      Thanx bro btw our bikes do have gear oil but no need to change it.... It will run with the stock oil for a very looooong time...in case you are having gear shifting issues, adjust the clutch. Adjusting clutch can do wonders...

      300v is full-syth and even more smoother and costlier than 7100 which to is full-syth... If you want semi-syth then stick to motul 3100 or 5100...both semi-synth...and if you really want to go for full-syth then pour 7100... Prices of the oils are as follows...(not the mrp but the actual selling price i get in kolkata): 3100- rs 320, 5100- rs470, 7100- rs 740, 300v- rs 950 Best is if you can get 15w50...else stick to 20w50... You will not get 10w50 in the market...

        • Re: Pulsar 200 NS

          Just poured 1ltr motul 3100 oil. I am not sure if 1 ltr is enough or not. Hope to get better performance

          • hello friends.. Went to a nearby automobile accessories shop to buy wax.

            He has formula 1 wax(320 rupees ) and turtle wax(280 rupees)

            i want to buy formula 1 but on some thread i read that formula 1 wax with a ferrari on its sticker is duplicate..
            On d other hand it had distributor details which is good sign...

            Turtle wax dabba had no such details on it.. Not even MRP ..

            I dont mind paying 50 bucks more but want good wax... What do u suggest... Is formula 1 duplicate?

            Should i check out BP/HP petrol pumps? They have original products?

              Hi friends,
              Some one help me out here.

                • Its 1.2l of oil.

                  1l shouldn't cause any problem, but you'll have to top-up the level sooner.

                    If you've changed your engine oil then you will 1.2lts.

                      Can you tell me how to properly adjust the clutch because i am sure the service guys will do nothing to it as they say that problem is not with the bike, instead i am the problem as i do not know how to ride it.

                      • Absolutely loving the bike ! Got my Bumblebee yesterday evening and already some 70 kms on odo. Must say gets a lot of respect on the road!

                        Gear shift is smooth, only for the first gear downshift from N, I hear a "thud" which is kind of annoying. Currently shifting gears between 3.5-4.5k rpm range (around 4k rpm "sounds" right to change to higher). Highest I've gone is 60 kmph. The manual says 48 kmph for 6th gear for first 1000 kms . Isn't that a bit too low for 6th?

                        There is slight hissing sound from the disks. Is this normal?

                          I found 1 ltr pack at shop and asked guy to pour the same. Will it affect the performance with 0.2 ltr shortage.
                          Its more than 2500km on odo. Second service is due at 4.5k. Where bajaj ppl gonna replace it with dts i oil.

                            Whats your odo? If its above 500-600 then I think you should take it well beyond the 60kmph mark.

                            Yes you get only 1ltr pack but you'll have to buy 2 packs for this. The remaining 800ml can be used to top up the oil later.

                              There will be many of us waiting for your step by step.

                              Just for now, can you tell is it fitted over the silencer, or is it beyond the silencer??

                              I think MRF will be good eh=nough, if you are restricting your ride to the city only (i.e u r not performing hard core cornering over any twisties, or taking it to racetrack)

                              As i said that the MRF also did skid but it was under extreme panic breaking (as will any other tyre, and esp ther is a disc brake), but the best part was the Bike was in the same straight line, and you won't loose the confidence of having control on ur bike.

                              I think, PSD will be bit heavier than MRF, and thus will be harsher on the pick-up and mileage.


                              About the stock tyres, many of NSains here suggested that the tyre will stop skidding, once they are broken in.
                              While the rear tyre skidded 5 time in the 1st 400 kms , there hasn't been a single skid in the next 200 kms. But that I think, I got a hold of how to apply the rear brake properly without skidding the tyre. (FIY, this is the 1st time I'm using a rear disc brake bike, and the brakes are very hard, almost feather touch hard)
                              But during yesterdays ride, as soon as i took my bike on the side of the road, while was mud and gravel, the tyre skidded, although the speed was as low as 20/15 kmph
                              I tried moving through some sand and gravel.. didn`t find it very confidence inspiring... but it didn`t scare me to stop riding... so.. next change to my bumblebee would be PSD then!

                              if you are less than 8k on ODO go for 5100 SS 15w50... else move to Fully Synthetic Motul 300v... No more confusion!

                              15 represents the viscosity of the oil at 0 degree Centigrade... and 50 the viscosity of the oil at 100 degree Centigrade..

                              So for any oil XwY would mean:

                              X - viscosity of the oil at 0 degree Centigrade.
                              Y - viscosity of the oil at 100 degree Centigrade.

                              So if you ride in colder conditions... choose a higher X value... in case you ride in hotter conditions more choose a greater Y value (highest is 50 to the best of my knowledge!).

                              For normal conditions... 15W50 should be just perfect!

                                you'll see two both adjusturs on the right side of your engine where the clutch wire ends... One nut is for adjusting and another is for locking it in the adjusted position.... Its better if you take it to any local mechanic....any mechanic will do...and then tell them to tighten the clutch to the max...but do keep around 2-3mm freeplay on the lever. More you tighten the clutch, more smoother your gears will be....
