    Radiator fan has a certain temperature to kick in & go off. Circulation is constant I guess, thermo-stat controlled & mapped kinda radiators are used, so common process mostly.
    Svc guys won't do a thing until u fig out & tell them. But I suggest not to worry. I don't think it's a problem, new bikes with all the new parts & plastics give off that sound. I'd that kinda sound from my LS too in the beginning. But then, it either subsided, or I got used to it to notice it anymore.. :P But never found any problems arising cuz of that.
    Enjoy the Ride amigo
    Yeah I'm gonna lube it today. And about the sound, lemme do one more attempt to find the cause.
    Riding is not about destinations, it's about journeys.

      • Got my first service done at 571 kms. Got it done at Auto service, Banashankari, Bangalore. Here is a gist of my experience.

        I reached the place at 8:45 and the mechanic was already there. He took my first free service warranty card and made me sign it before even commencing with the service. Since I was on a phone call I signed this card But that was the only problem I faced.
        The wash guys were understanding and washed my vehicle ahead of the queue and then the mechanic started his work. Here are the things he did in order:
        1. Drained the old engine oil.
        2. Cleaned the oil filter (the mesh kinda thing)
        3. Replaced a new paper oil filter.
        4. Sandpapered my brake shoes a bit so it doesn't keep touching the discs (front and back).
        5. Topped up with Motul 3100.
        5.1 Cleaned the chain and lubricated it.
        6. Lubricated all the moveable parts.
        7. Adjusted the idling of the bike
        8. Adjusted to AFR to have 1.5 CO (approx)
        9. There was a minor scratch on the bike and he used the rubbing polish to remove and wax polished the bike.

        What he did, he did it right and perfectly but other things mentioned in the warranty card, he did not bother saying they will be fine. Since I had already signed the card, there was nothing much I could do. However, I am not facing any problem as of now. The engine is butter smooth and the gear has also started to behave. Tank vibrations remain and I don't know what to do

        Currently the odometer says 600kms, can I ride up to 5k on the RPM?

        Also there was something mentioned about reed switch in that first service card. Can someone throw more light on this?


        PS: What else has he missed out? I am going there to get a 3M film on the tank on Saturday and I will ask him to attend.

                • Guys I got my first service done a few days back at 528km in Noida. The technician topped up with Bajaj genuine oil & not the Motul one. All the usual stuff was done for the first service. The bike is running smoother (currently at 750km) & gear shifting seems perfect now.
                  There is one thing that has changed & that's the vibrations. I feel it alot now, before 1st service were only tank vibrations when riding at over 4k rpm in 1-3 gears. Now I feel the vibrations under the seat to the whole tail section. mostly felt in the first 3 gears at over 4krpm. Shift it to 4-6 gears & ride fast & the bike runs almost flawlessly. I had gone to the SVC next day only to get this sorted. The Test rider rode my bike & took it down to get it checked. The Technician only tightened up some screws ? & returned my bike saying 'Ho gaya sir'? Still the under the seat vibrations are there.. what should I do ? I'm afraid that the more the SVC technician do their work on my bike.. the worse it'll get. I don't want them opening up the engine or anything. any advices ? or are these Vibrations normal.

                    Firstly, congrats on your bike!
                    Do you mind posting some pics?

                    Vibrations although on your seat... get it to your SVC to check for the new Rubber Grommets been given out by Bajaj to Pulsar 200NS to solve tank vibrations.. Those are Rubber grommets for the screws on the tank.. that might help!

                    Till which RPM range do your find the vibrations from 4k - 6k... that must be the bike resonance kicking in... happens for all bikes.... I guess... so, nothing worth worrying unless the vibrations are very bad... sporty vibrations toh ban tha hai boss...!!

                    If you know the SVC guys very well... Ask them to tighten all the bolts again... especially the seat area... that should solve it incase it is because of loose bolts!

                        missed out on petrolleum jelly on battery terminals to prevent oxidation
                        air filter cleaning(they skipped mine too)
                        theres a long list but they say its a new bike these adjustments are not required...may be if problems occur we adjust

                        did u watch him service your vehicle by going to the service bay??? or was there a glass window where u saw the work being done from?
                        how do u convince them to find ur way into the service bay?
                        good they replaced with motul...mine and most other members got the bajaj oil

                        and i had to specially ask and convince him to adjust the carb on the CO machine and they tuned it for 3.2% but upon insistence they got it to 1.5%

                        • @Vivek

                          Is this Auto Service a Bajaj inititative, is an appointment required prior to service ?

                          Can you post the Contact details of the Agency if you don't mind , so that I can get my first service done.

                          I am not too confident about the dealer I bought my bike from regarding the service.

                          Sorry for the array of questions buddy.

                              Help needed - though I had already posted this incident briefly on my previous post, but now i am seeing that the problem persists.

                              A couple of days ago I took my bike to 80+ kms ride (to and fro) (and NOT as @jagdeesh predicted up hill or down hill). I am currently 750+ kms on the odo.
                              While the up journey, there was a moment where I was riding at an average of 60+ kmph constantly, and then I had to slow down for some heavy traffic. Now, when i slowed down, I found that no fuel was getting supplied at low revs.. I downshifted to 2nd and then to 1st gear, but still there was no fuel supply at low throttle.I had to rev the throttle high (with half clutch pulled in) to keep the engine running!! After sometime, the problem got corrected itself.., but the bike was giving hiccups (jerky motion) while riding at low revs!!

                              Surprising, while at down journey, the fuel went to reserve, and then i did not find any such issue. (though the road was quite clear at that time, and i hardly rode the bike at low revs)

                              Today morning, I found out, the bike started at on push of button. But since I idle it for about 30 sec or so, the engine died died after a few sec, and then refused to start. I had to twist the throttle quite a bit to make the bike fire up. Then keeping the Bike on Neutral, i found that there is Insufficient fuel supply at low revs. To put it more descriptively, if I hold the throttle at low RPM (1.5-2k), then there is hardly any fuel supply, and then after 3-5 sec there is a burst of oil supply, and the RPM increases instantly to 3.5-4K. The same action follows while riding as well. It knocks for quite a bit, and there is sudden and jerky acceleration. (mind u that my bike is still in reserve)

                              I think there is some dirt/problem in the carb. Can you guys pls suggest what should I do??
                              Thanks in advance..
                              POst this problem I had taken my bike to The SVC 3times!!!!! Every time they had an excuse, and just tightened up the bolts from outside along with a little tuning, and returned my bike. On further complaining with strong words, I was told to take my bike TO another SVC. there also they delayed the repairing for two days..At last there was No way but to threaten them of complaining to CC, or to consumer forum. That was when their bulb lighted up.
                              The SVC promised me to open up the bike on Monday (19th Nov). the head mechanic, and a junior mechanic were dedicated fully to my bike, from the morning. they opened up almost everything, including the cARB. He opened Up the carb and adjusted the needle, along with few other things.
                              Right now, am really impressed with the work of Gautam Da that day.. Bike feels super smooth, and responding instantly to the throttle. Vibes have also diminished to quite an extent..And the bike pulls in a smooth and linear motion..
                              He himself asked me to come today with Double sided tapes, which he placed at various positions onto the headlight fairing. Vibes diminished to a large extent due to that.

                              My state of ind - Seriously loving it..

                              • Hey guys,
                                Just reporting here an issue I just faced. 2 days ago during a ride the battery indicator started blinking. I had to stop one place and when I tried to start, the battery wasn't strong enough and the engine didn't crank.
                                I took the bike to service center in morning. Luckily I was able to start.
                                They kept the bike for a full day and hadn't even installed the battery when I came back.
                                They charged me 90 rupees in the name of battery charging and said the battery was fine. They said if there are any more problems they'll replace it, and said it'll take more than a day to process the replacement! Also the ticking sound from chain that I told them is not fixed.
                                Today about 1 and half hours ago while I was riding, the engine started wheezing and went off. Thought it was because fuel hit reserve. But the engine failed to crank when I tried to start. Just a buzzing noise was heard.
                                Tomorrow if I'm able to start it I'll take the bike to service center and give them a talk they'll never forget. Else I'll make them come and pick it up. It seems from @shibadip's experience that threatening the idiots is the only way to get some work done.

                                On another note, I tuned the air screw of carburetor today using the process mentioned here: TBolt USA Tech Database - TBolt USA, LLC
                                The acceleration seems much more responsive now. My friend also said the bike seems much smoother now. Will report back here whether the starting trouble I mentioned is rectified.
