What is flush oil? 2nd service next week

Some sort of chemical..it flushes the engine of the gunk...there are both pros and cons to it...my opinion..skip it and use it just once every 10-15k kms...or better change engine oil regularly and keep ur carb proper tuned...ride properly and dont lug the engine...u should have a proper engine which doesnt need to be flushed

Oh. Ok thank you :-)

Yes, it's because of the carb tuning. But I felt even with good tuning the engine is never steady in all RPMs. It may be feel you're doing well by keeping NS' engine between 3000-4000rpm.. but I've felt NS is meant to be ridden over 4k-5k rpm. Still I never feel a steady ride in lower gears.. like 3rd gear & cruising at 5.5k rpm.. engine sounds sweet though the fueling ? or something just isn't precise. I'm guessing this isn't the case with Fuel Injected bikes ? Like I also drive an i10 and it's engine feels so steady no matter how I drive, I know it's a car but the Fuel Injection system really has some big advantages ?

That is the case with almost all of the bikes. Remember, unlike the the Duke the 200 NS too can be revved hard, but I don't really understand why do you mean by STEADY, is it the way the engine responds or the stability of the bike, I guess it's for the former. That being said, 3000 to 4000 RPM and at 3rd gear the engine is kinda revvy at that speeds because easily at 5.5k a bike can cruise at more than 60 in fifth gear.

Fuel injection always constantly keep monitor of the bike, so they always supply the correction fuel based on a lot of factors, unlike carb, where even a small screw up can have a lag.

thank you guys for clearing my doubts. as i will be keeping this bike for long time say 7 or 8 years, i was asking those questions. i live in assam and every service centre is full of nuts in this part of country. so basic things like carb clening, tuning, chain adjustment will be done by me. and thst why i am trying to gather some knowledge about the bike. and i completely agree with the fact that every bike or car has its share of niggles and we have to live with them.

Well, a pretty complicated issue and I don't understand the basic cause too.. Why don't you try cleaning the carb and fuel pipes, adjusting the clutch tension and accelerator? Or on a random thought, is it the clutch plate getting engaged on it's on? It can cause the variation, and it also do not show up when in neutral as in your case.

I've seen this issue and the issue with this has to do with carburettor setup. If the mixture is lean, this can be the problem. Get it retuned. When you accelerate and close the throttle, the engine doesn't come immediately down, instead raises rasies and then slowly comes down. The carb is the culprit, it needs to be tuned precisely. Cheers! VJ

Thanks for the input guys. I'll check it out. The bike has been running on a rich carb setting. The issue is when the engine reaches a certain rpm and the throttle is held at that point, neither accelerating nor decelerating. That's when I can hear the rise and fall of the engine. Its goes on until I accelerate or decelerate.
When I let go of the throttle, the rpm comes down immediately, no engine raise at that moment.
And I tried searching the web but could not find anything tangible on this.

Hello friends,
I have an on going issue. It goes once the service is done and returns later on. I really don't know how to put it in word. Anyway, here it is.
When I start off and shift up and say, the bike is going in 3rd gear and engine rpm is 3500 and I hold it there. The engine is not steady, it kind of rises and falls. However, the rpm is steady, it does not rise and fall. No rise and fall while raising the engine while in neutral. Is this an engine problem or any issue with gears and transmission.

I couldn't get the bold blue part.
while holding throttle, how it will decelerate?

I had an issue (posted earlier).
When I reach 5.5K rpm in 5th or 6th gear & hold throttle, bike will behave like out of petrol
As a last attempt to repair, SVC guys replaced my carburetor.
Is that the same thing happening to you???

Edit:-
Ok, I got it

Can anyone suggest how to proper judgement of fuel in tank !! its the 3rd time i am runnig outta fuel with the fuel gauge still showing 3 bars

.. when i hit reserve its always showing 3 bars !! after that if i filled petrol worth rs 250.. then gauge was showing 3/4th tank full during entire journey of 40 kms ....

...complained about this at svc .. they said there's no problem with gauge.. and digital gauge are not accurate at all !!..

If you ran out of fuel (engine won't start) and the console showing three bars, you need to get your gauge checked or replaced. I mean, it is common to not trust the electric gauge, but the fuel cock is the one to trust when the bike hits reserve. And with reserve with sane riding you can do well over 100 KMS without sweat. But as a best practice, I'd always suggest you to keep the petrol tap at mains instead of directly reserve so that way you can keep track of mileage and get an idea of what's really wrong.

Try changing your fuel gauge and see how it pans out.

Cheers!

Technical issue of Bi-Xenon HID

Hey mates, i have installed Bi-Xenon HID on stock headlamp of my pulsar 200ns 5000k 35w glare and focus is almost as same as philips xtream vision but a bit brighter. The issue i have found is when i put low beam HID dosent glow but on high beam it does and after glowing it on high beam when i switch it to low beam it glows only for micro second then turn off. High beam is working perfectly. No low battery indication. The day i got it installed both H/L beam was working perfectly but couldn't test it more because of day time. Electrician did not connect the positive wire directly from the battery terminal, he cut some wire inside the visor itself i think this might be the issue

The low beam swith is behaving same as old pulsar 200cc magnetic horn switch which cut off automatically when you replace stock horns with high power horns. Please help.

Wont shifting at 6k give a reduced mileage? just thinking in terms of the ideal speed-to-gear ratio. I have kept my setting on the richer side and shift between 4 to 5k and get a mileage of around 35k. i am happy with it and dont want to fiddle with the AFR for the next couple of thousand kms.

Though i ride it to my office and back and most of the time am able to keep it at a rev range of around 5-6k. the route is a lil congested 40% of the route i ride on 2nd - 3rd gear only. So may be this could also be the reason for my low mileage.

Apart from my problem mentioned earlier, I have the hiccups while going in 5th and 6th, just like you said while the rpm is around 5.5k.

For me it was the Shell petrol pump which showed high pressure.

that is there in 2012 models too.....

Anyways guys, sometimes when i am riding at 5-6k rpm, suddenly the bikes feel as if its out of petrol and then again comes back to normal, this happens merely for a sec.... what might be the issue here?

Get the carb checked and in all probability it's pin needs to be adjusted

did you purchased from local market? or online?
price?
Is it branded? for cars?
because 5000k is not available @ our local market & online

you are lucky. at least bike is going back to normal revving instantly

mine was not, which leads to a replacement of carburetor.

It is irritating, right?
as I mentioned earlier, KVR Bajaj replaced my carburetor . now it is good. not fine

ignorable hick-ups. @ above 5K rpm in higher gears

Please don't trust digital gauge on Bajaj.......
always ride in "ON" position of petrol tap
