Check and ensure that those numbers on the bike, RC and insurance policy are the same.
    The bike he is now getting is a NEW BIKE and so obviously unregistered. It will be registered in his name now...

The mechanic said "don't worry about it, it's my job to make you tension free..so I got you a new bike. Forget all the tension and cheer up. He said that the engine sealing pipe has bursted due to excess engine oil.
      I went and they gave me another bike.. This one too had front disk noises. So I refused to take that one too. Finally they got me another black one which was almost perfect and without touched by anyone. Then all the plastics from the yellow bike was replaced onto the black one because they didn't have any yellow colour at that time. And I rode happily home.
      The dealer/SVC were really nice to give a totally new bike...and you ought to be given a new one since it was only 2 days old. so congratulations on the NEW bike once again
      And yes please ensure that engine number, frame number, etc of the new bike are in registered in your name...though Im sure the dealer will do it without creating a problem.

        Only one question.
        can you take your bike like FC?
        I mean from stall to move? without proper acceleration???
        I couldn't

        & yes, in "papers" our NS has top notch torque, but I couldn't get it

        I fear to get its stock full speed because of its "stability" !!!!
        So I dont think about changing sprockets
        I wish if I am the only rider in roads !!!!!
        So I can red line my bike all the time

Then I had to explain the fork issue multiple times and I ended up calling the supervisor and had him d from thcheck the stopper. The guy said the stopper is damagee fall and it has to be taken off and a new piece welded in its place. So, this time I hope it will be rectified. I told them that if they don't do this job perfectly I will not take my bike back.

            I will contact Bajaj customer care if the svc people cannot rectify the problem this time.

            Have you had the service people check the stopper? If not please have it checked.
            yes I have checked with the service engineer and other guys.
            even I contacted MD of bajaj here and told him everything.
            then the service guys changed new fork assembly and new set of tyres..but the problem still persists..

            did they rectify your problem?? my problem is at the start of my purchase and not by falling or some other damage

              if you wanna try sprocketing.. i would suggest first jump into front sproket and try +1 and see if that keeps you happy..

              most of the hypermilers generally work on +1 in front and -2,-3 in rear as a long gear ratio.. but that setup wont be practical in india...
              the bike will become a sloth...

                I guess you're talking about low end torque.

                Change the front sprocket to next big size(if available) and see the results.

                Btw why does anyone wanna change the sprocket on NS? Afaik NS has good top end and if you over gear it, the low end torque will be even poorer.

                  Thank you. and your right i think i'll try changing the front sprocket first. its still an experiment so i'll roll back if something should go wrong.
                  and btw are there any 6 hole sprockets at all available in the market except for NS??

                      Can some one explain about NS having poor low end torque.. In my personal experience the only bike i haven't been able to beat in acceleration is CBR-250.

                        It is relative.. compared to the R15, CBR150R the low end feel of the 200NS is much perky.

                        Its also basically NOT POOR Low End Torque. But the way the engine has been tuned and the torque distributed over the rev range.The pick up/acceleration/torque distribution is linear and evenly spread across the rev range till its 10,000 rpm redline. The 200NS revs its way to glory to its redline without the feeling of stree. Something which even the Pulsar 220F can't match.

                        Actually Splendor/Passions are tuned with Good Low End Toqrue for "easy" commuting.

                          Thank you. With this in mind, would it be wise to over gear the machine? Personally riding at 30 and a twist of the throttle sends the bike comfortably on its way..even in 5th gear.. would the change be drastic?

                            Nothing serious. Loosen your clutch a bit. Happened to me. First day after buying the bike I rode 60kms while the clutch was very hard and it was raining heavily too( Yeah crazy right). I couldnt hold a glass of water with my left hand. Next day went to the svc and loosened the clutch and rode for another 40kms the same day. No pain whatsoever.
                            FULL STORY--> Bought my bike on the 3rd of Feb,2013. It was an Yellow maniac. Rode 2 days happily. No acceleration and below 60 kmph, below 6k rpm. Third day went to the post office to get some parcel. After I come out from the post office, My bike wont start and then I thought maybe it's cold due to the rain. So, I use the choke and start it. The bike starts and everything's fine. But suddenly, it started to give loads of smoke. I was literally crying inside my mind seeing this state of my bike because I also have a pulsar 180 UG2 model since 6 years and not a single problem like this. Also the rickshaw was taking my parcel to my home without knowing my address. So, I had to go with him for some 3 kms. I put the parcel which was my first guitar without even opening it. I rush to the SVC. The main mechanic was doing somebody else's 180. So he said wait for one hour and then I'll see. He opened everything ..checked carburettor, air filter, afr screw,choke, etc. And still loads of smoke after 2 hours of checking.
                            He then said wait for 30 minutes and I/we(SVC) will give our final decision. Then I called the showroom guy who helped me in purchasing the bike and told him that they had opened everything and still loads of smoke coming out. Then he , the mechanic and the managers everybody talked for a while. After that the showroom guy comes and says, "Let's go.). I asked where.. He says," To get you a new bike." I said what the hell? I asked what happened to this one. The mechanic said "don't worry about it, it's my job to make you tension free..so I got you a new bike. Forget all the tension and cheer up. He said that the engine sealing pipe has bursted due to excess engine oil.
                            I went and they gave me another bike.. This one too had front disk noises. So I refused to take that one too. Finally they got me another black one which was almost perfect and without touched by anyone. Then all the plastics from the yellow bike was replaced onto the black one because they didn't have any yellow colour at that time. And I rode happily home.

                            Now after 600kms it's giving 38kmpl after first servicing. However since 100kms I am continuously getting this click-click-click-click noise from the rear portion. It doesnt start suddenly when I go to uni in the morning but after 5-8 kms it starts doing this noise. Already went to the svc and they fastened the chain and lubricated it. The sound stopped for that evening but came again the other day. Also it used to do 60kmph at 5krpm/6th gear but now it does at only 4.5krpm. Nothing has been tampered except the oil change and filter cleaning. Also the bike gives good linear throttle feedback which I am very happy about.
                            You lucky bro, to have such a good SVC.. Never heard anything like this before..

                              Yes, I was very lucky indeed. I got it from Dada Motors,BNC chowk, Jalandhar. Also the svc is just in front of the showroom. And the mechanic( Gupta ji) is really awesome there. He listens very carefully and has a lot of patience. He is there since 18 years and his hand is really good with bikes. So everybody respects his decision there.
                              I bought the bike against cash payment. I had only paid half for the first bike and we had agreed that I will pay the rest after 2-3 days. Luckily the problem came soon while the bike wasn't registered yet. However I paid the remainder the same day after getting the new bike and got it registered the next day with the new bike chassis and engine numbers. Still waiting for the vehicle registration number though.
                              Any idea on the loud click-click-click-click noise because it's getting louder and happens really fast too. I am visiting the svc tomorrow evening. Just hope it's not that bent disk problem.

                                and stability?? i can vouch for the NS is pretty stable at 152 kmph..

                                Why do you want to overgear your bike? You want a better top end? NS barely manages to hit the rev limiter in 6th with the stock sprockets. Overgear it and I bet you wouldn't like it. In my opinion, you can undergear it, to the rear sprocket of duke (if possible). It would give much more riding pleasure, would become easier to move the bike from standstill AND you can ride the bike at ~33km/h in 6th without lugging, but of course, mileage and top speed would take a hit.

                                It's the same case with both NS and R15. Both are tuned to deliver the torque in pretty much the same way. Of course, NS can accelerate from 0 to 60/100 km/h at par or better than RE classic 350 if I'm not wrong. But release the clutch in 2nd gear and try to move the bike from standstill, and watch the RE swiftly take off. There's a major difference between acceleration and torque. It all depends on the shape of the cylinder, which in NS's case is an oversquare type, i.e bore>stroke. The acceleration is further contributed to by the triple spark tech and 4 valves.
                                NS's behavior is as follows.
                                0-4k rpm: Feels like a pulsar 150.
                                4-7k rpm: Acceptable torque and acceleration good enough for the city.
                                7k+: Hooliganistic.

                                CBR 250R has a better overall torque delivery and acceleration because, well, as the saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement".
