Anything you over do is gonna screw it up, right, expecially when it comes to plastic over metal. The max you're gonna do is ruin the oil filler cap, and it hardly costs 10 bucks but why would you want to do that. If you over tighten, you might end up with cutting the thread off of the cap worse break the cap head which then will give you a hard time removing the cap when its really important.

Nah,not the Master plug. If someone would've actually taken the effort to locate it under the tank and slit it clean,then I probably would have succumbed to cardiac arrest right there. Thankfully,it's the right side slave plug.
Sure. I am taking it to the svc tomorrow. I just hope that after a gap of 7 days,nothing else has gone wrong. *shudder*

The 200 NS has three, one top master and two sides slaves, in which case the right was cut in his case.

Here is the pic of the damage.

Looks like someone deliberately cut it.

Either that or a dog who uses Pepsodent with alarming regularity grew a sudden penchant for eating copper wire through half a cm of insulation.

Of course revving hard. The vibes kick in post 6k rpm. That's when you realise what you're riding isn't a calm unicorn but a roaring pulsar

There are mild vibes at the footpegs above 8k rpm but nil before that. Lately there's some buzzing vibe noise from the rear seat cowl but I guess tightening up a few bolts should do the job. I located the source but I don't have the right tools for it yet.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Will clutch less up shifting decrease/increase mileage?
In my knowledge, it will increase, because less clutch is used.

But now a days, when I actually started to shift without clutch, mileage seems to be on low side. 2 times. Donno if those petrol guys cheated me, got an figure of 45km for 100 rs (1.53 ltr), so that's 26 per liter.. :/ I used to get 45-50 always.

What might be the problem?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

okay guys today i went to the svc to show them about the weird issue my bike is facing
at around 3.2k rpm if i rev the engine, i get a whistling sound after it. its like a resonance sound.
svc guy opened and tightened some bolts and all, the problem was still there. he is like i tried tightening everything but this is a minor sound. i was like no its really annoying and i got a bit mad, so he was like okay you can leave the bike il open it up and check it. he was telling me that the bike is full of fiber thats why youre getting that sound and other bikes get these sounds too
i was like no i never heard it from any other bike
its like if i keep the rev between 3.2-3.3 i get that sound, its damn annoying. can any one tell me whats the cause of it? my bike is around a month and half old and 1200kms done, running on motul gold.
am like really worried now

Couple of guys too had this type of issue.. :/
In that one guy's problem was with brake..
You check it out mutatedknutz
Do tell this to SVC guy.

There is nothing like mileage increasing or decreasing using clutchless upshifts, if used properly. Using downshifts at B2B traffic and and zooming on and off would put unwanted stress on the clutch and can reduce your clutch life.

You can use clutchless shifts when you're cruising on highway which minimizes the wear and tear and gives you a smoother operation. This doesn't mean you'll get good mileage or worse, all this means is when the engine is stress free, you get the best results.

Most fuel stations reduce the amount of fuel in some way, perhaps the amount of fuel was low for the given price, it can be a factor too.

Cylinder head mod

Hello,im new to xbhp. im planning to get my pulsar 200ns cylinder head modded at race concepts. when they said cylinder head mod,i assumed its porting and intake mod..i hope im not wrong. is it worth it?.will i get any performance gains? im worried about reliability issues compared to stock. right now im running a rich mixture..(117.5 main jet compared to stock 115) with the stock filter. i have a pretty decent acceleration and a top speed of around 150kmph. bt i want a bit mre power ..will the cylinder head mod help me?

I had this issue before. At 4k rpm for me. After pressurising the mechanics a fair bit, they opened the tank and located some bolts which weren't tight enough. These were the ones near the engine. After tightening them, the sound vanished for good.

@all, the pipe which takes in air for the air filter is located right on top of the engine. The heat from the engine is transferred to the air which makes it less dense and the efficiency of combustion is reduced. In my opinion, it's a bad design and it takes it's toll in B2B traffic. But the 220 has the air intake from the side so HOT air doesn't reach the filter. I was wondering if any mod can me made on the pipe from the air filter so that it takes in air from elsewhere? Experts, inputs please. Wish I had pics to justify.

thanks a lot bro
am happy to know this issue will be rectified by tightening of bolts under the tank

I understand the issue you're quoting. As a matter of fact it is a very good find, but you need not worry that it will cause any significant combustion reduction. As you know know once the vehicle is in motion it gets cooled, but you're right in B2B the heat is supposed to heat the air. All you can do is insulate the pipe with thermal protection materials wound over the HUGE air inlet tube, which would stop the heat transfer and still allow cold air.

It doesn't cost much to get the thermal protection materials, but the process of wounding over it, and keeping it stay in place is a big headache, and make sure it doesn't void your warranty. We know it's nothing, but the SVC folks will make a fuss out of it.

Thank you bro. It might be those petrol bunk guys

My bad luck.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

what is the average you all are getting on your beloved machines? I am asking this because of 2 reasons.
1. My friend is fed up he is just getting 25 km/ltr from the day he got his bike he has done 4000 km till now. He has done a lot and asked me to ask u all what could be the problem.
2. A new machine in the same frame is going to be launched by bajaj soon pulsar 180 ns.

Well that's a solution but I was wondering if we can somehow extend the pipe so that it still stays concealed and yet takes in air from somewhere cooler, like just behind the headlamp or something. What I meant to say was that the air gets heated up and not the pipe itself. So thermally insulating the pipe wouldn't stop hot air now would it?

Edit: I almost never experience B2B traffic so it wouldn't be of much use to me. I was wondering if this might help those who actually do.
