  • The chain of my bike is creating a clattering noise,like a worn out ball-bearing.I am sure it is coming from the front sprocket,its more evident at low speeds.I had got it checked in the SVC but they say its normal for all open chain bikes and just lubed it with oil but I doubt. My gear too makes a clattering sound and does not feel smooth and the bike does not tend to change direction easily.My friend's Ignitor feels a lot better in almost all aspect.I am now totally fed up with my bike and feel that I should have opted for some other bike instead of this.Please help and thanks in advance....

      Are you seriously comparing Ignitor-Zeet ki Chingari (No offence to anyone ) to NS
      How many kms done? Most importantly which engine oil are u using?

        I am not comparing NS with Ignitor but the problem is my bike giving a lot of problems and to add to that insult the SVC is not able to identify my problems. Btw I have clocked around 2500 kms and currently using Castrol Activ Extra 20W50 for the last 600 kms as I could not source Motul.

          I have heard a lot of duplicate products of Castrol beware of that.

          Anyways BAJAJ svc are horrible. Your best take would be to contact other Kolkatta Ns riders & before that shoot a mail to customercare

            I just bought two cans of those!!!

            one thing is for sure that the bajaj oil is crappy as hell!!! it promises to run 10K kms, but I can see from the engine window as well as feel that oil has already lost it's purpose. And i am just 1500 kms On ODO! the oil as changed at 1st srvc at 450 kms.

            • Hai to Everybody

              Hi to everybody,

              I am Santhosh From Malappuram, Kerala.
              This is my first post in this forum.
              I am not a techie in any aspect of bike racing or riding
              I had been used Unicorn for last 8 years(replaced with new one after 5 years). It was a wonderful experience, which I couldn't forget
              Due to its braking, carburetor & head complaints I was changed my mind and desired to purchase Pulsar 180.
              and I visited KVR Bajaj which is 50 m far from my office; from there the "twist" started.
              From there I got a test ride of 200ns and I make all possible riding conditions during test drive.
              Then I changed my mind ones more & purchased 200ns yesterday
              Again - after 8 years- I am become part of Bajaj family
              My first bike was Caliber.

              My 2nd day of driving experiences:
              Smooth but lengthy gears
              I have to put some cotton in my ears while riding Sooooooo noicy
              Front shock absorber is leaking
              Chain sound is double than engine sound
              Very bad suspension
              & vibration .... I know. its Bajaj. So I have no complaints
              I am in running in period, So it is just like I am riding a "LUNA"
              I have only 30-40 KM/day usage, I don't know how many days to take over 2000 KMs

              I ordered a main stand for me, which is not readily available @ our dealer
              I will update my future experiences here
              Bye for now Good Night (to all Indians )

                • @ankur and shibadip: AFAIK the Castrol I've bought is genuine because the shop's owner is a very old friend of my father and has never duped us till now.And yes its a bike's oil Castrol Activ Extra 4T. Initially when I had poured it it was quite smooth but now the engine sounds like full of sand particles,like a kirr-kirr kinda sound and even becomes worse as the engine warms up.

                    Well dude he may not be fooling you but supplier may be fooling that shop wala. What I am trying to say that Castrol's products are no more trust worthy

                    Try contacting some exp member in xbhp. I am sure he will help you out with a good SVC as their only your problems will be removed.

                      Well, as Ankur has aid it's not abt whether the shopkeeper has duped you.. It's very hard to differentiate between a original one and a fake one of castrol..

                      I do a simple thing of checking the quality of engine oil.. Turn ur bike as Such the right portion of the bike faces the sun.. Now try seeing the colour of the oil from the small window of the engine!! If the Colour of the oil Has turned Black/Blackish then u must change the oil.

                      Motul is widely available here in kolkata.. If buying Motul is not feaseable, then shift to some good oil of Shell, or Moto ELF..

                        Fantastic! Foolproof method!! Only an experienced rider knows this trick. How many kms have you ridden on motorcycles?

                          most of the fully synthetic oil, turn black or brown very quickly but retains its viscosity for very long..as per my experience..so what do

                            Bro AFAIK, any oil, after a few weeks' (or a few hundred kms) use will turn blackish, even though it's good enough to go for thousands more. But I don't see how it's good to differentiate between a good oil and a fake. Coz even if you later find out that it's fake, it's a waste of the money you paid to buy the oil in the first place.
                            Personal opinion, go for the best, rather than ending up with buyer's remorse.
                            Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

                              Same is my doubt What I feel one can even check the validity by the smell of it. A good condition oil will not smell bad

                                Feasibility is not a problem for me but the main problem is the lack of time as my exams are only a few weeks away.Once my exams are over I will be coming to Kolkata to buy a good helmet at that time will get myself 300v straight off, at least it will last for 5k kms because a rough engine is very irritating and totally spoils the riding experience.
