yes somen1984 gives best advices

am 5.6 can touch the ground on both sides but it just the toe 2or3 cm above the ground
go for test ride as solmen suggested
according to my knowledge it not only the saddle height but person himself and seat design plays a major role

note am note owner of 200ns

Well....about this height issue..Im out of words now.
Earlier when friends say that NS will not be suitable for less than 5'8" tall guys, I used to show them how I ride the bike. I'm a little over 5'4". Yea,I cant touch both feet down at the same time. But my Love for the bike,made me adapt to it. I run it everyday for about 20kms.(BUT THE ROAD IS SMOOTH AND WIDE IN THIS AREA WERE I ROAM...NO SUCH DEEP POT HOLES) And Im totally comfortable with it.But now that I heard some of you people say about those difficulties they had due to NS saddle height, I also fear, someday I've to face it too...
Someone asked earlier about having a pillion..There will be a problem,if the pillion is a lady,and she sits with "both legs,one side(left)" style...thats because with this height one cannot put both legs at the same time,and if the bike bends to the right side when halt,we'll lose balance.
I'VE NEVER FACED THIS ISSUE...BECAUSE NO ONE EVER SAT WITH ME LIKE THAT. My mom will never sit as a pillion in my NS...she is the who gave me the money for the bike...
but....

well....we cant have all the gooddy gooddies at the same time...
If you love the bike...go for it,but be cautious about all these issues..enjoy the ride

Dont be too much concerned about the height issue. I am 5'8" and I too cannot put both feet on the ground completely at once. But, I have never faced the problem with balancing on bad roads when stopping. It is quite manageable if you are used to the weight.

Most off-road bikes are very tall even for six-footers. Just ride it like you would ride an off road bike.

I own 200 NS in red, I'm 5.6" guy from Mumbai, i never felt any difficulty in handling this beauty in traffic as well as offroad... don't think too much over height issue, just own this beast and enjoy riding..........

I am a little over 5'10" and even i cannot touch both my feet on the ground that easily. i tend to toe both feet or use either of my feet completely. Strength of your legs probably is more important than just height.

NO need to worry guys. Am 5'5" - 58KG and I managed it well in the TD. did not booked because only black and Yellow were there(MGB Hyderabad). i wanted to see all the 4 colors first in flesh before booking.

From 5'4'' to 5'10'' no one can touch the ground completely ???
then how come I (5'5"- 168cms , 58KG) touch more then half of the feet and can touch full feet if the pillion is more than 70KG

below is me at the time of TR

taking to me then sorry i said i can feel difference in cbz.
and some people feet are long so not only height matters{this is just what i think}.
finally u r looking good with that 200ns

No Buddy, some of us wuld like to take apart the whole bike, And treat her to our likings.. Sans the tools.
Also, what i Have seen is the NS is designed pretty complexly, as compared to other similar bikes.
Just to give u an example - To clean the Air Filter of the NS, You need to open up the tank part, which is quite complex, with the different nuts, and the wires, pipesGoing out of the tanks, and getting connected to various other points.. Same for the headlight assembly.
Even the carburetor is so carefully hidden within the perimeter frame, that tuning the AFR Screw gets difficult, Forget opening up the carb!!!

Hi,

Yesterday, out of nowhere, my bikes' coolant liquid started leaking. When i noticed it was gone almost completely. Some oil was also gone. I don't know whats wrong. The only unusal thing i did is i rode my bike at 80-100kmph for some 25 kms. Thats not the first time i did it though neither is it the longest stretch (have done 200km highway trip twice). Its mind boggling why it would happen.

Gave it to svc for repair and for second service as well as I am already at ODO 4800 kms. Its gonna take almost a day and half for repairs. The mechanic says nothings damaged, its only a stupid leakage and they are changing all gaskets and fittings. So i hope everything is OK.

Also I would like to confirm that Bajaj is indeed fitting those rubber grommets/packings to reduce vibrations to all NS by default. You don't even need to ask. It will be done during servicing.

I am also facing reduced power and not-so-smooth feel while driving at lower rpms like ~3000. NS surely runs smoothly for 2000+ rpm, but mine was not. It felt like lugging even at 3000 rpm. I though it might be clutch issue as my clutch is also loosened a bit. The svc guy said its carburetor issue. He will fix it.



Dude, get you NS's carburetor setting checked...NS can very well pull from 30kmph on 6th gear..my NS used to..now it can't though but the svc guy said its carburetor issue. He said he'll fix it..

NS can get going at all first 4 gears from stand-still (I have done it few times. didn't do it deliberately, mostly by mistake in traffic)

And yeah one more thing .. vin_amulya… bro 168 cms is 5.5 ft which is 5’6’’ and not 5’5’’… it’s a common mistake that many of us make (thanks to the goggle calculator )
