After second service in bajaj and changed oil second time to motul 30004t my bike surprisely given 43 in city i really enjoyed it bike is in richer side too and a long journey i really enjoyed . but after 1k and on high ripping the bike to 135kmph it given only 38 kmpl today very sadly it given only 33 again like firt service and engine was little bit rough side

How can you rev up a Bajaj engine 8-9 k in running-in period?
you don't value for your money?

All other queries had been answered by our friends

Please read user's manual about running-in period

I revved the bike once..... and man.... I can't control myself on an empty road! I tasted 8-9K RPM..... its really difficult to resist. :P
But my question is this - does such a powerful bike get spoiled just by revving to 8-9K?!

it seems you got the repairs done, also rim tapes look nice! I wanna get rim tapes too but I'm worried I may not like it or the color afterwards..

Only 38 on hard ripping?! Dude! That's excellent mileage for a 200cc mill! Mine gives 35 under hard ripping and ~40 in city. So be happy your bike is giving a good performance.
33 km/l under what conditions?

i got the delivery of my pulsar 200ns today, the bikes running fine but the engine sounds a little rough compared to what i felt riding my freinds Ns, and some strange smell comes from the engine once a while and i am not ripping the bike at all, is this normal before the first service or should i have it checked?

Its normal because fresh engine has more friction / roughness. this friction reduce with time and engine become smooth. this is why bike need to change engine oil first 500-1000km.
Smell: Is that come from engine or exthaust pipe ?. Engine paint smell when its heated first few days. Did you chcked the coolant level ?

It is perfectly normal. The engine is new and will sound a lil harsh. Your friends NS must already have completed its run in. The stange smell is also normal it comes when the engine becomes hot but will eventually go of in a few kms.

Dont rip your bike often, every once in a while going above 7k rpm for a couple of seconds is ok. Do a proper running in, change the engine oil after 100 km is possible to a better oil like Motul 3100 20W50 and enjoy your ride.

4100 kms on odo and running on motul 5100 15W50(changed at 3200) me too notice the cooked smell of the engine after ripping for some time and when the bike comes to halt. Experienced the same on pulsar 150s and 180s. Is it only pulsar's character? because I have never seen it on fzs, cbz extreme and gs150r... Please note, this smell persists even when the oil is new.

Hi all,
this is my first post in this forum. i own a cherry black Pulsar 200NS, done 2600km on the odo. the bike looks brand new and seriously it is giving me mileage of 40kmpl. i generally rev it till 7000rpm and do the shifting of 4th, 5th & 6th gear shifting in the range of 6000 - 7000 rpm. i am pretty satisfied with the bikes performance. done mods to the bike too like head light is changed to phillips diamond vision 5000k, the pilot lamps to bright white LED's and added a white rim tapes too. i could feel few vibrations in the range of 4000 to 5000 rpm, as the other users said its common for all 200NS in this rpm range. recently thought of changing the airfilter to K&N or COSWORTH but could not find the exact match for the one in pulsar 200NS. i generally do all the maintyenance of my cars and bikes. i am well experienced with these things.. if any of the xbhpians have changed the airfilter in your 200NS please do reply for my post. i want your opinions regarding the airfilter change and the performance of them.

welcome to Xbhp. Do you see any difference between the stock headlight and Philips Diamond vision?

these are the pics when i bought the bike, taken near OMR, chennai..

hi sunilyo, i could find only one difference i.e., when i travel on the dusty roads the beam spread is amazing and the visibility is really nice. but on highways the visibility is not that great as the black roads doesn't reflect much white light. the problem i found is the focusing of my bike is really bad with any kind of bulb, i tried to adjust the focusing but couldn't get the correct focus. the high beam focuses really high only low beam does some work for me. Is this the same for other pulsar 200NS owners. kindly let me know.

Guys....after riding for about a 15 mins; when you halt the NS,do you see the tachometer needle varying ???
Mine will kind of breath between 1 and 1.5 rpms.
A friend of mine pointed out this today. He showed how the tacho meter in his P220 is so constant and stable (it was @ 1.5) when he halt the bike.
Is this a NS kind of thing....or need I take it to the SVC ?

Just out of curiosity, how did you touch 157 dude? With 10% (assumed) speedo error, that is still > 140 kmph. Too high speeds for a naked.
How's the windblast at that speed?
And how many kms of traffic free stretch did you actually need to reach 157 kmph?

Yeah NS's clutch lever is tight. My left arm is probably just as strong as the right one now! I saw the half-clutch solution here on xbhp but don't know exactly when and in which thread. Also, use half-clutch only till the gears smoothen out over time. My gears were really hard before, had to use a lot of force to shift the gears up or down. Also I mostly ride wearing flip flops so I had lost some skin on my toe so riding wasn't too much fun. I began shifting using half clutch and after a few hundred kms, I could shift smoothly along with a nice click.
For those who feel shifting is hard, make sure the lever alignment is proper. Got mine aligned a little downwards and it helped me shift better (I have long legs ).


Check if the wheel alignment is proper. If yes, and you still get the sound, the disc is the culprit. Get it replaced under warranty.


Yeah, redlining in 6th on NS is hard. Btw, I remember you had mentioned earlier that you're running rich. Doesn't it mean that top speed would take a hit? Or did you make it lean again? When mine was rich I couldn't cross 142 km/h speedo indicated and after I made it a LITTLE leaner, I touched 152.


Yep, that's a good method too!

Btw Last time I was buying motul oil, the salesman kept arguing that mineral would help the bike run smoother than FS! He kept insisting I buy the mineral oil and when I refused he began abusing me! I told him to shut up, take my money and give me 300v! Looks like no one was buying his mineral oils! Btw, what is the drain interval for 300v?
