Re: Pulsar 200 NS

The profile of the tyre (or height), is almost the same. 130/70= 70 percent of the width ( 130 mm) which is 91mm. And 150/60=90mm. So,fitting a tyre with a difference of one mm up or down won't make much of a difference. And to my knowledge,changing tyres won't void warranty. Yes,the roll on acceleration would decrease by an imperceptible amount since the width of the cross section has increased and it's a softer compound,but it's the price you pay for getting better grip.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

It does not make big difference shell gives you smooth engine i dont care right now am on castrol power1 fs 10w50 at next oil change am going with shell advance ultra 10w40 ...i had use this oil in my dazzler from last 3 years (47,000KMS) without without any problem ... Truly trust on shell ... :-) do what ever you like i tell you what i think

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

i m not an expert or something, but jus checked that dazzler's recommended grade is 20w40, so basically u have been using an engine oil with manufacturer recommended higher temperature viscosity level , which is --w40
In this case NS's recommended grade is 20w50, so i think we shouldn't change that higher temperature viscosity of 50 as suggested by myth2104 and many others

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Im not against Shell buddy and neitheram I knocking off a 10w40 oil, just saying that Xw50 would perform better in these hot summers. If it didn't make a a major difference then there be wouldn't be oils with such different ranges. Although even I have used 20w40 and dint find a lot of difference but may be a long term effect would be there.
And please dont compare the levels of engine heat of dazzler and NS. NS generates a lot more heat than Dazzler so it requires an oil which withstand a high temperature and not liquefy into water.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

that is wt the svc ppl did twice when i complained this problem ..it comes back after sometime of cleaning ..goes off even sometime when is wipe the dust of the disc using cloth ....its a ghost...comes and goes ...got used to it..who cares now i have the brake bite still like stock ...

buy the way two weeks ago got a sheet metal piece of 2mm thick about 1 inch long in my rear tyre ...it got through the tyre in a very slanting way ..checked.there was a very small amount of leakage ..then removed it ...there was still very very little leakage ..went to puncture shop..pointed out the place to the guy ...to my surprise there was no leakage ..still running good..two weeks back kept 38psi today at 33psi..filled it back to 40.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

you are exactly correct

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

thank u guys for ur valuble replies... i think will go with 7100 20w50..but this 2ltr buying really aches ..will it be worth for the money and will it make me to pour the rest again and again ..the main reason i am going for the synth is that i do lot of engine braking(nowadays i am using the disc in front and engine braking in rear as it very much avoids skids and u r also in the correct gear for the next acceleration after breaking) and i also use a very fast clutch action...

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

nice video i think NS will earn some respect through this
i think he uses 7100 or 300v.. and one thing is that NS never develops vibes in that area they are always near the useless knee recesses...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Replies and queries in bold.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Full synth is advisable if your odo is beyond ~8k-9k. Yes 7100 is really worth it. One oil change should last you for atleast 6-7k kms before the next oil change. If you odo is less than 8-9kms then you can opt for semi synth, something like Motul 3100 20w50.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

The gap difference Which I told was right at the beginning of purchase!
I have tried to convince everybody and all in vain about the gap difference and the handle bar issues are related!!

I too think of that bro! for once I thought shelling out some money and do the chassis replacement by myself!
but the problem is how can I suggest them..
I mean I have to be sure about the fault..
If I have any proof then I am damn sure I will not move from svc until they replace a new chassis...
can you suggest any method to find chassis bent??
another thing ...If I change my chassis...how can I get my chassis number back...
It will be pretty hard as some guys tell that there will be no number printing on that! new one!

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

I am thinking of going to coimbatore service center and ask them about it....
can you suggest any good service center near my locale?
I too have the same doubt but to all whom I have talked, they are ignoring the chassis bent option.
All the guys are blindly believing that ns has a very rigid chassis which cannot get faulty....

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Yea that looks nice man, also no change in FE sounds good too. So basically, do you think your NS is now behaving like a much better machine overall ? Any negatives any ? The reason I ask this question is because I trust makers of these motorcycles and there should be a good reason why NS comes with a 130/70 hard compound tyre. With this upgraded fat tyre the bike doesn't act lazy does it ? Also have you changed the front too ? or is it Stock ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

i know that i will get a reply like this for posting that 40 psi ...i travel about 15km in hot sun 37degrees before filling air and i like the little bit agile handling on filling more air ..one should try that to get that feel....and yes there is a decrease in breaking efficiency ,but accelerates better...

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

3100 is a mineral na..i will never pour a mineral ..when even company recommends a semi-synth..no people said any views on 5100...

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

i said engine breaking in rear (rear wheels)...front discs and engine breaking at rear ..balances well

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

personally i have serviced at jaikrishnaa bajaj 100ft road, coimbatore,they are the worst ...i complaied on them twice to bajaj...but u may try sai bajaj avinashi road,opp.suguna hall ...they are new and have a huge showroom in avinashi road itself...but i have not tried them ...post your experience after visiting them mann.....

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Guys whats the colour of the BAJAJ 20w50 engine oil when new??? i had my bike serviced and the oil replaced and the colour is Dark red, many ppl tell me that it should be pale yellow, is that correct?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Yup mine was pale yellow after service.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

2nd Service complete.4700+kms on the ODO. AutoService told me to come early on Thursdayfor the service (since I didn't make a booking) and i woke up at 9AM.too late!!!. Friday is a holiday so i decided try my luck at a newplace i had once lubed the chain. I reached the place around 9.45 AM.They took the bike for a wash. Unlike Auto Service (AS) they didn'thave that the soap/foam gun so they use a bucket. After the washwhile the bike was drying, the owner came by and gave the newspaperand asked me to relax inside. Later they offered me a cup of tea.Once the bike was in the service bay i was watching what was beingdone. They don't recommend Motul (they have stock of Bajaj Oil)however since i had 2 bottles of Motul 5100 they used it without anyfuss. The chap who was working on the bike did everything Mr Babufrom AS did on the 1st service except Oil filter wasn't changed. WhenI asked he said it is not required and I didn't push for it. Then Itook a big risk and told him that my idling might be low since Ineed to twist the Throttle a bit to keep the engine revs at 1500 abit when I start the bike in the morning, which is less of an issuesince summer started. He started the bike and showed me the idlingscrew and increased the idling. I was done by 12PM and I headed homewith the spongy brakes.. 1 thing I hate about services is that thebrakes lose their bite.
Motul has made the gearshifting smoother (surprised, I never noticed a change during the 1^stservice when I used the Bajaj Oil). I still find the neutral now andthen when I shift from 1^st to 2^nd gear.


On my way back Inoticed the revs didn't drop below 3k when I let the throttle go down(I was cursing myself for asking them to fiddle with the idling). Igot home and reduced the idling myself to 1.5k. Today I started thebike and noticed the idling was kinda of low at the start so twistedthe screw to bring up the idling. I seem to have hit sweet spot, letssee how it goes.


I will see if the vibeshave come down since I have Motul and keep you guys posted when mybrakes get their bite back.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Nah...its semi synth. 3000 is mineral. I guess 5100 is fully synth, but ts life is not the same as 7100. So better put in a few bucks extra and get 7100.

Its pale yellow when you watch it being poured (because of translucency) , but its reddish if you see it in a container due to density.
