    Thanks Somen. There was no issue with the set up. Just that the chap who replaced my tyre, filled air with 40 PSI pressure. I have got it reduced to 24 (hot summer here in Mumbai) and I don't experience that issue now. Feels good. However, I am going to closely watch it for few more days.

    Thanks for the update. Tyre shop that I visited insisted me on to 140/70 continental tyres however, I have only one thing in my mind now. And that is R15V2 rear which matches all specifications given by Bajaj. Moreover it is MRF (I know it is illogical but I think both tyres of same brands would form a synergy. Just a wishful thinking.).
    The TVS guy @the 200NS camp recently held said the tire pressures recommended should be when the tire is totally cold. So when you fill air, keep this thing in mind.

    I agree it can't be due to air pressure. I have been monitoring my front tire pressure for over a month. Its absolutely fine. Its got to do with the forks. When I ride @ 70-80kmpt, i feel like i am just holding handle in the air and cant feel any feedback from the tire..feels like its gliding in air..on top of it, vibrations also are there..too much of them...

        It happens due to low fork oil, check fork oil seal if its leak then fix it asap otherwise it will give scratches on fork rod which cost a big amount.

          Single HID project can range from 2.5-3.5K

          Be sure to select right size of HID projector sizes.

          what is the battery capacity in NS200 ?
          Does size matters?

                If oil level is correct then there must be two issues:
                1. Shocker spring loosen its strength.
                2. Low air pressure on front tyre. (It may have small puncture)

                  Yes absolutely it matters. The size and temperature matters. You have to go which is suitable for your NS. Which can be fit properly and can be supported by the battery.

                    Thanks for your info. Is there anyone in this thread who is done with H4 HID Projector in his 200NS ?

                        Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Went to a lathe shop today. With a small drill they first created a small hole on the broken screw, then hammered a nail kinda thingy and took out the piece using a player. Excellent work done.

                          [ATTACH=CONFIG]95695[/ATTACH]now this is how the light looks like from front with 55w daimond vision with two 55w DLAA fod lights...

                          now what i did is put a 35w h4 hid in my stock reflector (which is greenish yellow in color) and a 35w 6000k h3 hid on the left hand side DLAA fog lamp which in turn gives out a greenish white output coz the glass of the fog lamp is tinted.... and i left the righ fog lamp stock with the 55w bulb to help me in the fog on highway.... and this is the result which came out....
                          [ATTACH=CONFIG]95696[/ATTACH]the right side stock fog lamp is switched off..
                          dipra das from naked wolves bangalore recently came to kolkata and had seen my light setup in person...
                          its actually insane..
                          Can't see the images... But don't you think it's overkill for a bike??? If u put all 3 at once,it will suck your battery... Nice setup but not practical
                          Its better to sweat than bleed!! "AGATT "

                              How much did it cost? I'm planning to change the rear tyre after 4 months or so. It's not giving much problems,but for hardcore cornering even on city roads,it fails to inspire confidence.

                                Could you just confirm whether its possible to fit that tire with tire hugger on?? Without rear tire hugger it would be nightmare to ride the bike...

                                And also if you could post a review comments by your friend it would be cool. e.g. any change in mileage, handling, dynamics of the bike, acceleration etc. Only a little change while cornering is what I am expecting and other things should be pretty much the same as stock tires but still actual experience would be good to hear...
