Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi
Best LEDs from NOVsight brand
Mine fanless : https://a.aliexpress.com/_d6703YI
Slightly higher powered : https://a.aliexpress.com/_d722gju
Best one : https://a.aliexpress.com/_d9kG9R8

One couldn't go wrong with these 3 options

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Awesome, can you please share the link for that led? There's too many on the internet.

Thanks

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Definitely a point
But considering modern day lighting moving towards LEDs we too tend to go crazy on technology.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thanks for your reply.
So I feel halogen is still a better option and I 'm already happy with Philips Xtreme vision.
I think low power consumption is the only strong point of a LED setup with two major demerits, read: Poor visibility in rainy and foggy conditions.
Even Dominar LED headlight setup is pathetic in rainy and foggy conditions.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Brightness and throw is on par with night breaker if not marginally better.
For 1600 I would say it's much better than most high performance halogens in market.
Rain penetration will also be ok.
Foggy condition will be a big miss on LEDs. Matter of fact all LEDs even OEMs

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Awesome.
How is the brightness, intensity and light spread compared with Philips Extreme Vision halogen bulb. Will it be superior to Philips?
Thanks

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Did a LED retrofit for NS200 yesterday came out to be awesome
Novsight brand and a fanless design
Sharing the light output images

You might get used to your seats, wait a few more kms.

To check the fuel efficiency, fill the tank up to full. Next, after some 100km or 200km or whenever you want get anther full tank done upto the same level as your previous full tank. Now note the quantity of fuel from the petrol pump meter. Divide the no. of kms done by the qty. of fuel you noted. Thats your fuel efficiency.

Yes fuel gauges on most bikes are in accurate. I think yours is FI so do not go below the last 2 bars or so.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Finally completed around 1.2k km on my NS200 BS6. My initial choices were apache 160 4v, honda xblade but thanks to friends here, I was guided to buy this beauty. Bike is really fast and I think this has 2 modes : 1. TVS Victor mode (yes my previous bike as TVS Victor and some times, I like to ride the bike in slow max 60km speed), 2. The beast mode (quick acceleration and revv till 7k all gears..).
When I drive the bike slow, it rides worse than Victor so I guess the machine is built for hard acceleration and rough driving. I have driven maximum till 110km speed(smooth engine even at 100km/hr). Riding position is superb (seats are hard so have to but some seat covers on). Due to lockdown, couldn't give for first service, so serviced at the local trusted workshop, changed oil, chain service and replaced coolant (all bajaj brand). Now showroom has called and informed to give the bike for first service at designated SVC, otherwise warranty would be void .
I am just curious to know how you all check the mileage for this one as there is no reserve available. Also the fuel bar readings are not that accurate.

Overall an excellent VFM option at this price (1.64 lac onroad, Mangalore)

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi anyone done this kind of jugaad on NS?

Looking cool and decent.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Atleast 2 bars would be fine...And I don't know about second one,third is yes you can add or get it done by a good seat maker local.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hello all.. just completed around 500 km in my 200NS and its really a value for money option with quick acceleration, smooth riding and excellent riding position. Going to miss the first service due to lockdown. Just 2 small queries :
It is mentioned that around 3 litres petrol should always be in the tank so how much bars on the fuel console would be 3 litres. Also how to measure mileage as reserve is not there?
Also the seat feels a bit hard material. Is it possible to add a seat cover? will it fit correctly ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Oiling/ greasing is mainly to apply the torque properly. Since the threads on case is made of aluminium it's prone to create friction on the threads. This friction will cause the torque wrench to cap off at the set torque. But the block will not get the required clamping pressure.
Also KTM instructs to first tighten all bolts to 15Nm in criss cross pattern. Then to full torque spec. This is to prevent gasket warpage or thread damage.
So to overcome both Bajaj and KTM recommends to apply oil or grease. You can get high temp anti seize grease with brass or copper content.

But to keep things simple your engine oil will also do the job.

Since NS200 uses different head assembly the torque specification is higher I guess. But applying oil is always recommended.

Thanks and regards

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Thank you both for very detailed replies .

Manoj, is there a difference in the tightening torques for cylinder head bolts in Duke 200 vs. RS/NS200? IIRC, KTM instructs to apply oil to the threads/grease to the bottom of the bolt and tighten it to 40 Nm (approx. 4 Kgf-m). Bajaj's manual for NS/RS says 4.5-4.7 kgf-m without mention of oiling/greasing the bolts. If I have a NS200 and going to rebuild it, can I buy KTM bolts and follow the oil/grease + 40 Nm method? I read that the method of applying oil (when called for) and tightening is more reliable as friction plays spoilsport in the dry torque method.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Spot on. Talk about it, I was about to paste the same forum link my previous link. I think the thicker axial radii will definitely help the pre 2015 models especially with Viton based, every degree truly counts.

Cheers!
