Re: Pulsar 200 NS

riding @45kmph in 6th gear isn't the way you're meant to ride NS. but your bike isn't supposed to stutter either. carb tuning is what u need i think ?

another vibration issue that I noticed 2 days back, I found during deceleration (mostly felt high in 1st and 2nd gear), like when the engine RPM decelerates from 7k rpm down to 3k rpm, that's when the vibrations are on it's peak. incredible vibs on rear seat and some on tank/footpegs etc.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

I experience a lag when I roll the throttle after a hard ride, can any1 tell me why this happens???

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

ridden hard for how many kms ? Isn't the lag or should I say power loss sort of thing experienced when the engine overheats to critical levels ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

its like after I red line in all the gears and then when I start to ride like a normal commuter, I feel a lag when throttle is applied, sort of like the petrol is almost over!!!!!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS


nothing wrong in riding the bike at 45,the bike pulls in 6th gear even at 35 without knocking.but yea,no1 rides an ns that way,but i rode it at 45 to check and double check if m wrong.the prob exists even if i maintain 50 or 60 kph. carb tuning is definitely what i require,but i want to know if m running it rich or lean to adjust the fuel screw

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

The basic indications for lean setting is cold start problems, rpm shooting up resulting in vibes, weak throttle response

Are you facing any of the above?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Hari Rajan : the bike should not stutter even if the carb setting is lean or rich, just to be sure, check your fuel consumption, that will easily tell you lean or rich.

tell me do you park your bike outside in rains..?? water in petrol can also cause this, or bad petrol or dirt in petrol, or water in the connectors of CDI or ignition system.

best way to solve it is to visit a competant service center.

NitSpeed200 : are you sure it is not phsycological..?? otherwise when any bike heats up throttle response becomes dull.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

This issue is teh most persisitent in most 200NS and most Bajaj bikes, once they enter the SVC in the hopes of getting something rectified, they come back with twice the problems unexpected. And the issue meioned by you is what is most people face, poor acceleration, choking suddenly, poor pick up etc, all has to do with one thing, the CARB. Most guys tune the carb by jobcard procedure which is almost 98% of the time, they do check the carb for idling etc. But that's when they screw up too, making little more or less can mean a big difference.

Get your carb tuned
Your carb float checked.
And not running on reserve (though not to the point of drying up)

Man it's so hard to see someone truly appreciating another bike from what they own. I am not going to make a hoopla of it, but honestly appreicate your efforts. Kudos.

Cheers!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

this was my primary assumption that there is water in the tank/carb coz the bike has taken 90% of last month's rain!! the way it was choking when i rode it out of svc ,it surely looked like it.but i was thinking how the heck would it start doing that all of a sudden,it was running perfectly when i gave the bike to svc.i took it back to svc and asked them if they tuned the carb,they said yes,its normal procedure.i was like #### u, ride the bike and see what you did,he rode it and came back, took it into service area and returned the bike to me after 5 mins telling me this is the way the bike is suppossed to be ridden,dont go constant speed,keep on ripping the bike. i looked at the bike and i see a hole in the head,the lead mechanic of the svc forgot to put back a spark plug and they had delivered the bike to me that way!! i had to yell at him and the manager in the end.


Back to the bike's condition,I decided to retune the carb today morning myself after doing some research on xbhp.got hold of my screw drivers and a torch and checked the carb.it seems like petrol was coming out of the carb!is this normal?it wasnt pouring out but dampened sort of leaking around the fuel screw.l have to find answers for that now.

ok so i started by leaning out to stalling point and going turn by turn anti clockwise and checking the revs.took it out for a spin at 4 turns anti clockwise,the bike seemed way better but the issues was still there here n there,came back and set it at 3.5 turns and rode it again,the stuttering at constant speeds dissapeared but when maxed out and closing and reopening the throttle the lag was still there.set the screw to 3 turns and the bike was responding just fine,no stuttering or lag till i was back home.m not sure if this is the best i could have done coz i was unable to adjust the idling for proper tuning check.i screwed the idle screw unlimited times,but the rpm doesnt move at all.i think the svc messed it up too,have to get it checked out today.

will have the spark plugs and mileage checked and see how it goes

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

ok i will tell you my own experience with stuttering. after purchsing the bike. during office hours my bike used to be parked in office parking (as most of us do) but my office parking is not covered, its open to sky, and three of the four days it was raining heavily and on 4th day (which was 3rd rainy day) the bike had trouble starting, it somehow started after some efforts and i rode it to a place approx 5 kms away, stopped for say 2-3 mins and after that the bike simply refused to start, even on choke. it started a few times but stuttered and stopped within a few secs. it took a good amount of time to bring it back to life. i was quite embarassed. then i purchased a cover and from next day onwards i put a cover daily.

and the problem never returned.

best of luck for your troubleshooting, keep us updated.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Can you provide me info about the cover ?? I used a pulsar 150 and covers just the top half....bottom half is exposed. Kinda confused on what kinda cover to buy.

Had couple of bad skids recently (din fall ), but have lost any confidence in the tyres. Even the front tyre slipped while taking a curve(no brakes applied).
900+ on ODO not sure if I would get a decent price in case I replace the current set of tyres.

Having hard time getting the center stand; went to khivraj(indiranagar) twice and they don't have stock. Bangalorean's - any place where I can find the center stand in stock ??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

I've been using the RE covers available here locally in the market,but gave it away because it would scratch the sides of the tank shrouds.
I don't use a tank cover now,but if at all you want to,get the RE cover for the NS.
Make sure you put a thin sheet of cloth over the bike or get one stitched into the cover itself(if the cover doesn't come with the cloth liner) to prevent scratches.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

so you mean rain water was somehow getting inside petrol tank ? hence the stalls ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS


ok so,it turns out that the svc guy didnt wanna tune my bike coz he had made the idle screw faulty! the idle screw is connected to a coiled cable and this was ripped off by him.

The spare was unavailable.i finally decided to go to a friend's workshop and he welded a better cable to the idle screw connector.since we had opened up the bike and taken out the carb,we decided to check the carb, and it had water inside,so cleaned the carb and tank and tuned the bike the expert way bike running smoother than it was before the issue came up.i am really disheartened by the quality of bajaj parts.all the outside screws have started to rust on the bike.anyways thanks for the support guys

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

The cover i am using is a normal cover, nothing special, i purchased it from the showroom itself, here in Sai Service Showroom pune, they have bike cover, seat cover, handlebar grips, center stand, electronic security system available as accessory for separate purchase.

regarding tyre give it some time to break-in, grip should improve, it happened with me, initially i also felt that tyre grip is not upto the mark, but after 500 km mark grip started improving and now i feel they are perfectly ok. just re-analyze the situation, something is wrong, either with the bike or your riding style.

regarding center stand, it is freely available here. tell me if i can help you in any way.

even i was worried about cover making scratches, so thought i should stitch a cloth on the inside, but changed the idea, coz no cover is 100 % waterproof, water easily goes in from joints which are just stitched normally, so the cloth will get wet and in daily rains it will not dry, and ultimately you know- fungus, foul smell and so many problems. so i thought heck, it is a bike, sooner or later it will be getting some scratches so stop too much worry.


yes, either in petrol tank or in ignition system connectors, see NS has a fiber body on metal tank, so the lid is attached to the fiber body and not to metal tank by a hinge and it seals or rather tries to seal the metal tank. in other words, it try to seal something, to which it is not attached. for a perfect seal to happen in such a situation, you need perfect tolerances and parts matching.

bang on, told ya.... check for water. i am happy you solved your problem. if you are a biker you got to get you hands dirty sometimes.
for rusting of screws, use a cover.

i am rather curious about that coiled cable connected to idle screw, never seen one. what i know is that other bikes have a spring on the idle screw, so that screw remains tight and does not move. so where is the other end of that coiled cable connected. can you post some actual pics, if you have clicked some.

for those of you, who want a perfectly waterproof cover that won't scratch the bike, "Bachoo Motors" have one, it is even lockable, but a bit costly. "Performance Racing Store" also have a good cover, i guess.
