But it depends on BHp, right?

I didn't ride above 135 KM/hr ! My bike will start wobbling back wheel from 90's itself. there is a small difference between two chain adjusters

Some correction. CBR's torque is very low as per specifications. but we can't feel it like NS when riding( I am using one)

I am good with every bit of bike. Its just that I don't want to run to service mechanics every week with small niggles in my bike .

Get the bike to the SVC and get it sorted. Coolant leak might be due to over filling of coolant or the pipe connecting from reservoir to engine might be loose.
Oil leak from oil filter, probably the filter cap is a bit loose, minimal leak from the cap is possible. Just learn to live with it, it's much easier.




A few niggles are always possible. Even if the common issues are sorted out by the company , no matter which manufacturer. If by unfortunate chances if you get a bike that is riddled with manufacturing defects then you will have to make visits. Even if it's not, maintaining a bike requires it being serviced at correct time which includes taking it to the SVC.

I dont want people to bash me for what i say but this is what i feel about bajaj bikes

They are good..really...they are almost at par with the japs except for a feew niggles...they have years of experience which bajaj doesnt and hence it will take time to get a perfect bike...even the jap bikes have niggles...not as much as ours but hey do...

Look at how far bajaj has come after 10 years of pulsar...a fantastic bike which is the most VFM bike...very powerfull and handling at par with the best with competition...price wise and engine capacity wise...let me tell you...our bike is better at handling than even bikes priced almost double than what is NS retailed at(smart ones understood...rest...study the market)

And the niggles and problems with the bike make me feel closer to the bike....i feel its a part of me and i take note of each and every small problem and try to get it rectified...it makes me more knowledgeable about the bike...each day i learn more and understand my bike better...I LOVE MY NS

I dont think i would have been so much closer to my bike if it was a complete niggle free bike with just fill it shut it forget it...go get it serviced..throw some money for costly yamaha honda spares and ride....

I have read on internet that you need to flush only if you put something like milk or shampoo in your engine. In very rare cases flushing is needed. In fact flushing unnecessarily may create an issue with well sealed joints/gaskets in the engine by removing the sealing deposits.

Anyway in today's world where engines are manufactured with close tolerances, i don't think they really need flushing throughout there lives if basic maintenance is done well enough.

How is this flushing done exactly?? Did they use a flushing oil (its oil with very less viscosity - almost water like). 250/- seems too much..

FYI, I tried to find a authentic source saying DuPont manufacturing Teflon coatings for automobile paints. I read so many different things. Some people even say that teflon needs high temperature to bond with the paint, so there is no possibility if having a teflon coat on any car whatsoever and its an utter non-sense. Not only in India, even in USA, it seems this scam is running well. I have even read that DuPont sued many companies for using "Teflon" in there coating as its DuPont's registered trade mark.

One guy claimed this in some auto forum:
"Dear friends,
Let me tell U ,no teflon Coat on automotive paints is effective, teflon is patented with Dupont & it is out from this business 3 years back , I have a email reply from Dupont India.
Technically speaking to form a proper teflon layer bond on any surface requires a bonding temp. much more than 350deg. C which is impossible to achieve in case of any painted surface, for the simple reason paint would get burnt off , hence even it is original teflon coating from Dupont on a painted surface it is ineffective as it gets peeled off in a short period which then looks ugly , that is the reason they have to quit from this automotive paint protection business , morever to strip down teflon layer completely is a extremely difficult task .
So guys teflon coating on painted surface is "BIG FAKE""

Some other say that this so called teflon coating has only very diluted Teflon liquid in it. Rest is all wax. I checked DuPont site and they mention about car waxes containing teflon in it. I Don't think they themselves manufacture it, but some other company manufactures it under license.


Its upto us to decide. But after reading so many things I will never go for Teflon coating whatsoever. Simple wax coat is good enough.

Even I have started feeling that the SVCs don't so any serious check ups during free services, but as soon as we go for paid services, they start telling us about solution to every small thing. The other day I saw the SVC supervisor telling a P180 owner that he needs to do body balancing and how its important to get it done ASAP, on a complaint of too many vibs by that guy. I was like, WTF..he never told me one has to do bod balancing to remove vibs when i have been complaining about it since long time. I am having a feeling that we NS owners have to shell out quite a sum once we start for paid services.

+1 Well said...but this is no excuse for Bajaj...


Well, Guys, I have been facing this rough engine and overheating issue since last 2-3 months. Gave the bike to SVC 2-3 times, but they just dont seem to do anything. I am fed up of it now. I want some feedback from the NS owners regarding few things:

1. Does your NS's engine start smelling (like a heated metal) in 3-4 kms of riding??
2. Can you feel heat waves on your legs and thighs after riding 8-10 kms?? And still the fan has not started working??
3. Ever got the warm sensation at the seat, the black side panels and perimeter frame due to riding in traffic? Engine is super hot and fan is running.
4. Does the engine remains hot (untouchable by hand and can feel heat just by standing near the bike) after like an hour of parking the bike in the evening after a ride of about 15-16km in normal traffic??
5. Does your bike's chain makes "trrrrrrrrrrr" noise (like the one which we typically get from bicycle ball bearings) at the front sprocket??
6. How long should Motul 5100 be used?? its now almost 3300km old now (It was 1 litr 5100 + 200ml 3000mineral oil actually of same grade 15W50)

I have started feeling that either the engine oil is screwing up or there is some serious problem with cooling system. I had a coolant leakage issue 2-3 months ago, past which i had incidents of vanishing coolant 2-3 times. I don't remember to have so much heated engine prior to that. Or even after sometime later that issue. Something screwd up in between. Can;t figure out what and SVC mechanics are simply apathetic to it. They simply say everything is normal or they can't do anything to reduce engine roughness.

I haven't given much thought to comparing prices.
I don't know if additional grommets can be fixed. You would have to check with service.

About Philips Exteme Vision Bulb

Hai Friends,

Does anyone using Philips Extreme Vision bulb on your NS?
As per their words it is +100 bulb
I had seen one NS has more lumen s than ours. So I inquired about it. He said he is using Philips EV

I had purchased one. but it is not glowing even upto our stock bulb

Anyone know, what should be the reason?
both are 12v 60/55 watts

Should I do any relay works?

I am totally noob about it .....

Shouldn't be an issue if mixed with different types or brands of oils of same grade. Chemically they are same if the grade is same. Actually if you have to avoid mixing of oil you will have to overhaul the whole engine as even after draining oil from reservoir about 200ml (in case of 200NS) of oil is still there in the engine parts. So you see its absolutely impossible to avoid mixing of oils while changing the oil.

You mean after every drain there is about 200ml still left? are u sure? i thought it would be somewhere around 50ml or something

The engine oil required when engine is overhauled is 1.4lL. This means that other than the changeable 1.2L, 200ml is inside engine, stuck on to the engine parts. When you only change your engine oil, you are changing only 1.2L which is in the engine oil chamber, the remaining 200ml is on the engine parts. And if you ever open up the engine and overhaul it, you'll require 1.4l. You can refer the owners' manual for the same.

I do idle it for a minute when cold and atleast 10 seconds when warm.
This evening, I was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The sewing machine-like sound was clearly audible, even with my helmet on. As I began moving, I gave a twist of the accelerator to move quickly through a gap and the engine went off. I thought, okay this is normal and restarted the engine. I dunno what the fudge happened, the engine was suddenly quieter, maybe too quiet. The irritating sewing machine sound? GONE. After a while I found the road ahead of me beckoning me to redline and I did. The bike surged forward like it usually did but where's the addictive sound above 7k rpm?! It felt like I wasn't riding the same bike again. What might have happened?

Sewing machine sound means tappets are making sound. But then what followed afterwards is indeed strange..well on the bright side you have an ultra quite engine now

That's for sure tappets bro.. Get it adjusted ASAP...
Symptoms:
1. Starting prob ( may be thats why it got switched off)
2. Low pick up ( that's the reason why you don't feel the same way as it was before )
3. Sewing machine sound (75% tappets)

Cheers

Today I ripped like crazy after midnight. I hadn't ridden too fast since 2nd service.. first experience of truly redlining on Motul 5100.. Clearly the bike revs upto 9k-10k slower than it did on Bajaj oil. You know you can always tell when your NS is touching 6k-7k rpm by the sound of it. Riding above that makes it difficult to tell what rpm you're currently on cause the bike just screams beautifully.. or if you're at the rev limiter which is at 10500 rpm ? (correct or is it 11500? ) and I find it difficult to even get a quick look at the speedo cause i cannot take my eyes off the road. because the upper end feels so overwhelming. But ofc that's because I'm not too used to it & abit scared too. Just fun time.
btw, I also started getting low audible tappet noise after ripping.
