Speed petrol, Extra premium etc are just a brand name of their 91 Octane petrol, you will see the difference after you rode 40-50+ KMS. Advice: Don't mix it with previously filled ordinary petrol.

I guess now the normal unleaded petrol in India is 91 octane. Extra premium comes under "premium" category because of certain additives in it.Originally posted by gotnofuture View Post

Hello again,
Just got my bike serviced 1st time.
There are still some issues persisting :
1. The engine seems to heat up very rapidly. I just rode it for 4 kms from SVC towards my work place, and could even touch the engine for more than a second. What could be the reason? Is this issue
related to engine oil? Coolant has been topped up to MAX level and the colling system is engaged when the heat is too much.. but, why after just 4 Kms?
2. The vibrations around the tank area have reduced but there are excessive vibrations at the pillion end of the bike, very irritating. Has any other member experienced the same?
What could be the possible solution?
I have changed the engine oil to Motul mineral.
Thanks and Regards,
ArvindComment

Yes, all perfomance petrol has additives and also has more octane than ordinary one. Good only for new generation engines else its not worth it.Originally posted by myth2104 View PostComment

even i faced lot of engine heat up issues, but after doing some tuning to the bike everything was back to normalOriginally posted by theproctor_redfury View Post
I guess you are running on too rich, check AFR settings. I didn't face any issue regarding vibes at back side.

Hi Friends, just took delivery of my new Pulsar yesterday evening... I was having this issue of the vehicle going off straight away from the showroom when stopped/ while slow in the traffic. I could see that the idling is set to 1200 rpm which is low by all standards... Do you suggest me to increase the idling myself or take it to the SVC to do it?Originally posted by ankur2smart View Posteven i faced lot of engine heat up issues, but after doing some tuning to the bike everything was back to normal I guess you are running on too rich, check AFR settings.

The bike was very hollow in the power delivery below 3000 rpm, literally struggling to stay awake!! My previous bike was an Apache RTR 160 and it has so much pull that its incomparable in the lower revs.. Hoping that this will improve over time but not by much... I literally had a nightmare to drive the bike in the heavy Bangalore traffic in the evening due to this issue... No pull below 3K and the bike going off too!!Comment

You can set the idle yourself ,but make sure you do it when the engine is warm after riding for sometime .Originally posted by pravin.murthy View Post
The NS shows its true characters after 6k rpm and once you have experienced you will come to know what I am talking about .
I personally feel the power below 3k very good for riding in traffic ,bike is more managable ,and movement is very smooth and it doesnot pounce uncontrollably at the release of the clutch .
May be you just need some time to reset your riding style from that of apache .sigpic < --BENGALURU-- >Comment

Well...I doubt that. The octane rating in normal unleaded and premium petrol is 91 and yes it MAY be better, but I don't think that it will result in a significant performance...or rather at all.Originally posted by gotnofuture View Post
The rpm at 1200 is what it should be. Its totally fine, but even still if you want to do that, you can do it on your own but when the engine is warm.Originally posted by pravin.murthy View Post
As far as the stalling thing is concerned, I hope you idled the engine enough before riding it because its a new bike and should have been warmed up enough for its maiden ride.
Honestly, the bike doesn't have the lower range power like that of the rtr, but has enough to keep it moving in the traffic with ease. Give the li'l boy some time and you'll gradually be amazed at it. Other than the lower power band, it's in every way superior to rtr.

Thanks for the suggestion mate.. Will wait for the bike to run in a little bit and will set the idling a little higher until then...Originally posted by Vineet_200 View PostYou can set the idle yourself ,but make sure you do it when the engine is warm after riding for sometime .

Another baffling thing was the recommended speed limits mentioned in the manual... 48 km/hrmax in 6th gear for the first 1000kms!! Ohh mann.... how could it be so low... Its about 3.3-3.4K rpm in the top gear max... its as good as not using the top gear for the first 1000kms.... Post which I see the max speed for the next 1000kms to be only 54 km/hr....
I had to spin the engine to atleast 4K rpm last evening for the engine to be running without stalling... so I guess Ive already crossed the indirect RPM limit Bajaj recommends!! lolComment

Thats a good point you made... I had not idled the engine any where near 1 minute before taking off.... could probably be the reason.... I remember reading it in the manual about this too.... will try to follow this to see any change....Originally posted by myth2104 View Post
Waiting to finish the run-in as early as possible to start enjoying the bike completely...
There were vibrations too on the bike but a muted one and not as worrying as I thought... even though its still high in the rear seat...
One other point that I wanted to make is.. this bike is clearly for tall guys... man... its far too high for a normal Indian... Ive never seated on a bike as tall as this in my life amongst all bikes including the CBRs and Duke... By the way Im 6'2 inches tall The bike seems like tailor made for me!!
I hate the way the Indicator and horn switches are designed... very bad indeed... The horn was sounding terrible and the edge of the button kept on stinging me on my left thumb like a bee!!
and on the indicator switch - absolutely no grip!!.. wish Bajaj had given some attention on these things...

Well keeping the bike at linear settings made all my heating issues go away. Better take it to SVCOriginally posted by gotnofuture View PostBeing best is not about beating everyone. It's about how much you learn from others and make yourself even betterComment

No need to follow the speed limits religiously, in-fact i would say don't look at the speed at all. Just be sure that you don't over work the engine in the initial 1.5k kms. But opening the throttle at times is needed to condition the bike with the full rev range. So for the first 600-700kms keep the revs within 4k, shift below 4 and rev till 4k if you wish, then slowly increase to 5k and short speed bursts at times will do good. The bike will open up better post 2nd service(by second service i mean by 3k on the odo) , then you can ride normally.Originally posted by pravin.murthy View Post

what is exactly linear setting? i knw rich i know lean...but what is linear?Originally posted by ankur2smart View Post
yea i too never paid heed to the speed limit...its crap...the bike feels on the verge of lugging if i follow the speed limit...i just shift at 3.5-4k rpm...and whensoever i ride once i open the throttle a bit more to reach 5-5.5k rpm and do a small speed run....then as usual normal run...and yea once was on the highway and it was too tempting i guess i crossed 80(may be 90..i dunno)....i dont know exactly as i saw crossing 70 but then i crouched on the tank...just wanted to see what NS is capable of...i just hope havent screwed up the engine for that...now a days...the max i go is 65...on 6th gear..and this too very rarely...normal riding at 50-55kph on 6th gearOriginally posted by pravin.murthy View PostPulsar 200NS parts list
