I wanted to ask how good are duke 200's tires and since the duke has wider rims than our NS's rims will it cause any problems with regard to hi speed stability, driving dynamics etc.

Any other options apart from the Revs C from duke and revz - s from R15 V2. My primary requirement is excellent road grip so soft compounds are preferred.

No replies.....

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

the duke tyres perform well and grip is great..u can sure go ahead and try...

and no there is no problem even if our rim is a bit thinner...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

I thought of sharing this video. Some great cornering on our beloved NS! I thought stock tires weren't meant for such 80-90+ high speed cornering.. though this mexican road really seems well built and grippy oO.. so that also helps right. Skilled rider!

I disagree about the stock tyres part. Yes,they aren't as good as comparable tyres such as the Revz on the Duke and the R15,but these are no slouch either. These do take some time in warming up properly but once they are at optimum temperature,taking corners at high speed is no problem at all. The road conditions,the skill of the rider and the tyres' condition are the prime factors here. Honestly,when I first scoured through this thread before purchasing my bike,I was deathly afraid of riding on the stock eurogrips. I was hell bent on changing them the day of the purchase itself. But I was advised to first try them out for a month or so. I haven't yet faced a problem regarding grip on city roads. ( ones with no sand spilt happily on them ). The only area where they fall flat is on going through off road sections where admittedly,the bike's limited capabilities in that regard come to fore.
Also,since most of the motorcycle reviewers have cornered real fast on this very set of tyres,I am more than willing to put my trust in them. Atleast until they are worn out and I have saved up enough money to procure Pirellis. Y'know. Just to feel like a racer-boi.

racer-boi. i feel the same riding my NS! and yes these stock tyres are quite capable no doubt. but i've never attempted cornering at 80-90kmph. mostly cause of the inavailability of such decent road "without traffic". The fastest I've gone through curvy corners is at 60-65kmph oO

Motorcycle reviewers are professionals who've done umpteen hours of extreme riding on a variety of bikes. Their superior control boils down to THEIR skills and expertise. Not necessary that we'll end up safe and sound in time for tea at home after a day of riding like them with the current set of tyres. My suggestion - hold your horses around wet & sandy corners till you do get the sticky rubber.

@all, noob question coming up. Saw a TVC of a car engine oil and saw how they animated the engine oil lubricating the rocker arms and the push rods. So my doubt is, is that how it is in bike engines with Over Head Cams too? Another reason for my doubt is that a day back I got rid of the 6000 kms old 15w50 300V (which served it's purpose almost beautifully) and filled 20w50 7100 FS oil and the very mild tappet sound is GONE!

I had also asked about the benefits (if any) of a simota air filter as compared to stock and K&N in this thread a few pages back. No one replied.

The most speed I retained while taking a rather broadly sweeping corner was around 75-ish.

That's it. The tyres aren't bad at all. The rider's dexterity in handling it is the determining point here. And I never engage in hard cornering in the city roads,let alone on wet/sandy roads.

Indeed that's the same process how it's lubricated, else it would have fried your rocker arms and tappets way before you'd even think it it would. If you remove the head cover, you can see oil seeping which is a good way to suffice that part is indeed lubricated.

Yeah and I also found about 10-15 ml of oil on the air filter box which is located right on top of the cylinder head. That normal too?

10 to 15 ML? That's a tad too much, but do keep an eye on that too, you wouldn't want blowby enter the filter so much. A little is okay, but too much get your breather pipe checked.

Alright.

It happens. Dust almost is always the culprit. How is your pads, if your pads are worn replace them if the brake feel is good then it's nothing to worry about. Next time use pressure jet to clean the caliper.

You mean like rubber squeaking? That's normal.
