Re: Pulsar 200 NS

1. If your AFR is rich, initial acceleration would be good but you'd need a bit more time to achieve top / cruising speed.

2. If there are very strong winds opposing you, you'd find it hard to achieve good speeds again. Day before yesterday strong winds didn't let me go past 100 km/h. The revs would simply drop below 8k rpm no matter how much I redlined in each gear. But at another instant, while riding WITH the wind, the bike wanted to climb above 130 km/h without crouching so many times, throttle control kept it where it was supposed to be.

3. The engine characteristics are such that all the 18 Nm torque kicks in at 8.5k rpm. Naturally, the bike will find it difficult to climb up from 7k rpm in 6th gear, given that a little lag exists at that rpm. If you're cruising in 6th at 100 and want higher speeds, hold the clutch, rev up, downshift to 5th and throttle all the way till 9.5k rpm and then shift back up. Your gearshifts should be such that the revs don't fall below 8.5k rpm. You'd find yourself at 140+ with ease.

Absolutely no complaints with mine but nowadays even I feel Bajaj isn't keeping quality as a priority. One NS in Mysore here got seized coz the oil kept leaking out of the broken drain bolt / some other hole in the oil sump.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Posting some pics of rear brake assembly. So what do you think will be the best way to open the caliper set?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Yes, it is true!

Not advisable at all to do such thing keeping safety in mind

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

So, can we install a regular saree guard just like p220?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Having issues with the sticker marks on the petrol tank, I had let the sticker stay on the pulsar logo on the tank but now this sticker has created some marks and doesn't look pleasing. Any suggestion that could help in getting rid of these ???

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Stock parts(saree guard) from the factory...will not fit in the way you want them because the mounting points, size and lengths will be different on every saree guard (p220, p150, etc).
For example, p220's saree guard is fixed on the footrest assembly and on the shocker bolt whereas on 200ns it is fixed on the swingarm so basically the mounting points are way off and they wont be a direct fit on the NS.

Fabricating a saree guard is the only option which can somehow be fixed to the rear footpeg and some other anchoring point. You can also search the market for some alternative which can be fixed easily.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

A post after a long time...
I am loving the experience on the NS. No major problems till date (though I have not clocked much... 10k on the ODO).
Completed the third service, got the ISC done and the bike just feels natural...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

My 2months old pulsar 200 ns stops randomly while riding and engine would not start ...... every day while going to office I need to ride 12kms, but engine stops after riding for say 8kms and then when I open the pipe comming from tank to test the oil flow i found that oil not comming out and thats the reason for engine stopping. Then after pushing the bike for sometime when I see that oil is draining out I connect the tank pipe and then engine starts.. Again after riding for sometime the same thing happens...

Please suggest me what to do... what is preventing the oil from comming out of the tank?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Where are from, and where do you park your bike? A lot of times due to presence of water in the tank it causes this kind of problem. The water seeps into the tank if parked outside in rain.

A couple of days back i did a DIY for adjusting the Chain slackness. after adjustment the chain slackness is around 1 inch maybe .1 inch less.

Now i am getting a strange sound like a kat kat kat at very low speeds (under 5 kms) and when above 25 kmph there is heavy wheezing sound. Have i overtightened the chain? What would be the repurcursion if i continue to ride in this manner?

This is my first DIY on adjusting the drive chain.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

I am from Delhi , I park my bike in the basement of office parking not under open sky.. but ya i had taken my bike to local service for a bike wash and polish... from that day i am facing this problem.. but is it because of water in tank? if there is water in tank then why should oil not drain from tank ? water blocks oil ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

yes you have overtightened it,loosen it a bit, if you keep on riding so,your chain damage will increase faster,but eventually the chain will loosen up it can also be chain wear, i am facing this problem now( 8.5k on odo) some part of chain damaged more than the rest. there will be a rise and fall in the chain while running, you need a jack or centre stand to test this on NS, if you start the bike and put it in gear and look at the chain( bottom part) you will see the chain level rising and falling. if that is the case,your chain is starting to screw up.

do this, open ur tank cap and see if there is water in the top, not over the petrol, but you have a small collecting area around the fuel cap.if you see water there,then surely water is getting in. btw to obstruct petrol flow like that,there should be a lot of water in tank, and even so,that would come out too.did your bike fall onto a side anytime?
