Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

I have doubt that bro.. there are lot of people at that age who still love to ride!! ..
In my case my father loves to borrow my jacket and helmet to ride ns and on good days he gives me car keys to go college while he uses ns to go to office :P
And secondly he is a speed lover like me
and completely enjoys the ride :P
The only thing he complains about is the turning radius and nothing else!!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

@broken87 : Yeah really I read :-| till that page! @Aditya N Bharadwaj : Both of yours observations are right. By the way I explained my riding preferences it seems P220ns is not a right choice. Even if I do ride as it need to be ridden, in Bangalore traffic it doesn't seem practically feasible. But I don't like the looks of 220F its ruled out.
I may never exploit the full potential of P220ns, but as per your experiences how does its low end torque performance compared to say P150 or any other 150cc bikes. is it difficult to manage? Please clarify.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

nono, low end torque isn't problematic, it works well enough even within 3.5k-5k ( though riding below 4k is not the way to ride NS imo), but when u ride NS you gotta realize that it's true potential lies in upper rev range, it's a high revving machine. Street fighter isn't just a name on it, it actually provides that sort of feel, a different ride quality than other bikes. While you may be going at moderate or slow speeds on 5th/6th gears, halting, then picking up, for that changing through many gears cos otherwise the bike wouldn't pull well, or you could abuse the clutch. All this may put you off. idk, I'm saying all this cos I observed that some new riders have had trouble adjusting to all this. You're still gonna have a lot of fun with NS man, who knows.. may be NS will teach you how ride it hard and awaken the racer boi inside you lolol.

ofc man, there are numerous aged people who ride hard, rev up their engines till redline. I only meant about @sngmk as it appears from his post that he is a sane rider, doesn't wanna go hard on the engine or doesn't like to go at speed etc.
I spotted aged people riding our king of commuters, the Splendor, are especially the ones riding it hard and pushing it to the limit, just to keep up on the highways you know, or if late for work and stuff.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

Are you filling the petrol from the same station?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

In actuality, the normal thing is what happens to you, ie the coolant level not decreasing, what would be truly abnormal is that the level drops, and I'm not saying it is uncommon, I'm just saying it is abnormal that the coolant level drops. The only three reasons that I can imagine for it to drop are:

1) The coolant is of poor quality, with a low boiling temperature and thus evaporates after some sessions of spirited riding where it reaches or surpasses its boiling temperature.

2) There is a leak somewhere in the cooling circuit, be it to the outside (which would be the less worse) or to the inside (which would be potentially catastrophic).

3) The coolant has gone through more than its lifespan either in years of use (commonly 2) or kilometers of use.

Hope it helps bring you peace of mind on the matter, have a good day.

pulsar 200ns Drive Chain issue

Hi Friends

Can somebody share their experiences or feedback on Pulsar 200ns Drive chain, My bike has done just 13500 kms, and there is awfull noise from the chain, the bike is still under warranty , it took the bike to sai service ( borivali, Mumbai) for 2-3 times they cleaned, did the overhauling but the problem presisted, now when i go to them they say the chain has gone bad, and i need to replace it. The replacement will cost around 1800/- as i cant only get the chain, i need to replace the sprockets as well which are good. Any ideas does the chain get bad so soon, is any body facing similar problems with drive chain. I told themthe bike has done only 13.5k KMS, but as usual they never listen to you, it is never the problem with them, the problem is always with the user. I asked them to get my bike checked by some senior engineet who usually visits one a month from their head office, but no sign of that also. This poor service has made my experience bitter. Other than that i have a lot of "vibration/ abnormal noise at idling" issue which also they say is ok.

Also can anybody suggest, any good aftermarket chain that i can use with 200ns that is of better quality.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

FE less than 30 is too low. How are you measuring the FE? Reverse to Reserve or Full tank method?

Some checks you could do from your end
- Fill from a reputed petrol bunk. Preferably company owned company operated or shell.
- Maintain recommended tyre pressure
- Don’t lug the engine (below 2.5-3k)
- Set idling to 1.5-1.8k rpm
- Make sure chain is lubed
- Make sure you are not resting your foot on the rear brake pedal

As for the oil, 2000 may be too soon for replacement. See the manufacturer recommended interval.

Have you had the engine temperature warning flash till now? If not, rest assured that the coolant and the cooling system are fine.
If there was a problem, the fan would be on all the time, and you would feel the heat from the bike.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

Has anybody tried these: Bajaj Pulsar-200 NS, Bike Brake & Clutch Levers, Adjustable/ Folding/ Extendable | eBay

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

It's a mineral oil. Try changing to semi synthetic motul 5100. Your oil must be gone. There's no other reason I can think of right now. Please don't follow the manual. It says the next oil change is at 10k kms which we all know is not true.
Apart from that, get the chain adjusted and lubed.

Well P150 doesn't need as many gear changes as NS in traffic as far as I know. But make no mistake, you can't have half the fun on P150 as that on NS. The other 150cc commuters have good low end torque to AID commuting. R15 has even lesser low end torque compared to NS. It's got the same characteristics of the NS's engine, i.e makes power at very high rpms. CBR150? Well, no comments

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Had the exact same problem of fumes from the exact same location 3 times.... and trust me i was running a dry chain.... problem is something else.... thick white smoke from the bike and i abondoned the bike in fear of a fire.... it was so thick smoke that i couldn't see my bike... there was oil all over the exhaust but its engine oil... not chain lube at al
... svc dont listen to it...and mailing bajaj is useless... feel like blasting them...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st


What are these ? There is no much description in that link. Does these adjustable clutch levers aids performance in any way ?
Someone throw light on these.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Can you elaborate on what happened?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

yeah even i feel the oil is gone
cause today i experienced hard gear shifts
tire pressure i check during every petrol fill
and today i got 30kmpl
and i dont press the rear pedal
dont know now, ill try changing the oil

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

so what happened afterwards..??

did you find the actual problem..??

did you solved it... if yes... how..??

Re: pulsar 200ns Drive Chain issue

That is normal with NS. I got mine changed at 14000k around a month ago. The noise all due to chain got retired. I really don't have any idea of any aftermarket chain. Also i had seen the same with duke. One of the duke 200 owner got his chain and sprockets changed at 13.5 k odo. Yes the chain can run more if we keep it cleaning and lubing every 700 - 1000 kms and every 500 kms in rainy season.
