Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Usually from the factory all fluids won't be filled upto the brim. It's SVC's responsibility to check these during Pre Delivery Inspection.
They will do a small top up to ensure the reservoir stays at perfect level.
Don't worry it's just the reservoir that's low. You radiator will be perfectly filled.
If you are going for a topup I recommend to use the same brand. Most use Castrol radicool and motul inugel expert.
If you wanna upgrade to a better coolant go with honda motorcycle coolant as it's silicates free and cheap per litre.
Silicate free coolant improves your coolant pump seal life.

Also have a practice to replace coolant every year or every 15k kms. Will result in cleaner radiator as well as less flushing and cleaning work.
Congrats on your new purchase..

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yes. As of now he needs to do nothing as the level is above minimum. After lockdown, getting topped up at SVC is the way since his NS is brand new. Does Total have a dedicated two-wheeler coolant?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

I dont recommend to use distilled water or other car coolant I guess you can find total's coolant best and cheap

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

In an emergency, you can top up with distilled water, if it is available. Don't use tap water or anything now as the level is just above minimum and not below it. There should be sufficient coolant inside the hoses and radiator.

Normally, you will top up with pre-mixed coolant.

For Future:
1. The SVC will do the top up for you.
2. If you want to replace the coolant yourself:

Bajaj recommends Castrol Radicool or Motul Motocool. Don't use Castrol heavy duty meant for trucks. It has nitrites that is beneficial to cast iron block lorry engines - should not be used in NS. Choose SFO-premix if you choose Castrol. Motul Inugel also can be used as the bottle says it is fit for two wheelers.

For NS/RS, any coolant fit for Aluminum engines/radiator can be used.

Congrats on getting BS6 NS200!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yes you can use distilled water no issues, coolant just has higher boiling point and better heat dissipation properties.
It's only when you are running the engine at higher rpms and during long durations that coolant is helpful.

In normal running the radiator fan doesn't even start, ns engine is that relaxed, after lock down go the service center and get the coolant topped up, my friend uses Castrol coolant, he bought from Amazon.

Once my vw polo had a minor accident and the radiator got busted, the coolant leaked ofcourse. On the service center's recommendation i repaired the radiator with m-seal, filled it with normal water and drove back to my home, 350 kms, five people in car, 100 kmph average speeds and peak Rajasthan summers.

So no worries

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

It's around 20 days since I bought my 200 na (bs6). The engine coolant level is near minimum level now. Is it possible to add distilled water like car coolant? Which is the coolant normaly used? Cc an I find it in Petrol pumps?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi,
There is a diffuser present below the LCD by default in case of 200 series. The unevenness found inbetween fuel gauge and speedo area is intentional as there is a plastic bezel on that area also you could see there is no LEDs on that zone.

May be for bikes which doesn't have diffuser it will definitely even out the spots. Good point to be noted.[emoji3577]

Planning onto add temperature gauge. Any leads and suggestions are welcomed..

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Clean DIY job

Just to add one point if atall to a well done DIY which can be improved is that you could use a piece of "Light Diffuser sheet/tape", a small 2x1" sheet can be placed on top of whole all LED lights or a small 1 square cm piece can be placed on top of each single individual LED's

It'll help in eliminating the uneven bright/dark spots in the region around the speed indicator area. Diffuser sheets can be sourced from LED lighting shops or easily found in old laptop screens or broken emergency lamps.

Expected outcome with diffuser sheet, even spread of light

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Have a check on all sockets
Take special care on
pulse coil/Crank position sensor output sockets.
CDI waterproof coupler.
Kill switch coupler.
And wiring harness near steering area (NS wiring harness is prone to fail near steering cone set area due to rubbing).
Get the HT coils checked.

This might possibly be a electrical loose connection

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences


The engine.. bro? It dies while running... What can cause this.!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Get your carburetor replaced as the diaphragm slider might have worn out. It will cause this issue.

At times just diaphragm can alone be replaced but mostly it leaves scratches on the carb body where the slider moves. So new diaphragm also acts weird.

Tachometer issues get your electricals checked and the CDi too

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Guys.... A query.. has it ever happened.. your cruising normally around 85/90kmph... On an relatively empty down.. with peace and serenity down the road at 3:30 in the night & just without any problem, or errors or anything.. while running, the engine gets cut off like completely dead... Techometre/RPM gauge goes to 0.. speed is still like 85 and going down... Kill switch is at its normal position of running.. electricals are on... Indicators, everything running fine, but when I try taking self, it didn't work!!! This happened 2 times...????

And it so happened, I happened to give it a throttle, the engine is back to life and running past 100/ 105/110 ...! What can be the cause.... ????

I'm having hell of a time with the bike specially with the carb issues... doesn't go past 93kmph.. that 7k rpm.. I dunno what the curse behind it... It gets stuck there like it wants to kiss someone badly.. and than just stay there.... Until it finishes and his mind releases his duties and goes further.... But with it own sweet time!


Please advice ya....

Volt meter looks cool [emoji108]
Nice work bro

P.S. Don't quote the entire picture set. Remove all pics before quoting

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Will do a seperate post for voltmeter part. Since I'm adding one in my brother's used NS200 which we recently bought.
Pretty occupied with office work.[emoji28]

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Although i understood nothing, but that is some great work, specially adding the voltmeter [emoji28][emoji1417]
