Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

many of us feel that the clutch is very tight or far from the handle grip, these can be useful for decreasing the lever distance for our comfort without spoiling the correct adjustment of the cable, likewise for brake lever. Just adjusting the controls to our liking which we dont have with stock ones. and since they are foldable, less prone to damage in a fall.

Please tell me what are the things need to be checked while getting bike delivery. What are the must accessories (i mean is it worthy to go for Teflon coating etc?)

Re: pulsar 200ns Drive Chain issue

well , i too own pulsar 200ns and just want to know that is zorrik 88 spray good for lubricating the chain ??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

Im quite a noob at this, but shouldn't this problem be related to the Cat Con ? like water and steam sort of stuff inside etc ? I know it's not coming from the exhaust pipe, but seems related to cat con and water. if u read some of the answer on this page
Catalytic Converter, White Smoke and Water? - Yahoo! Answers
or am I wrong & is this a completely different topic mentioned on this yahoo page ??

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

the problem with this theory is as follows-

1) production of water: most of you must have seen water dripping from bigger vehicles exhausts like four wheelers- cars, busses etc, but never from a motorcycle exhaust... why.. if water is a byproduct of cat con, it should happen in all other bikes too or... atleast other 200 CC and higher bikes. BUT thats not the case... i guess...

2) even if it is cat con producing water, first of all i can't see water dripping from exhaust tip or drain hole, secondly the steam should come out either through exhaust tip or drain hole and not from outside the body.

3) steam should not smell like burning smell.

just my thought, i may be wrong.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

All three times inwas ripping the bike heavily... 2 times im highway and 1 time in a city bypass... first time it happened when i was continuously over 140 for close to 50 kms on the hghway and ten when i stopped my bike it was all white fumes which covered the entire area...not only my bike, even bikes which were parked beside were not visible in the thick white smoke eith urning smell... i left my bike and ran away in fear.... after a n hour came close and observed that the bend-pipe where it meets the chamber, its all dripping with oil and its maroonish black(i use 7100 which is red so u its clear what the material was). Service centre always says its chain lube... even if i accept that its chain lube (which is not), hw can soo much oil come from a lube
2nd incident was during an interstate trip when an unknown guy pulled me over and honked at my back to stop me and say that my bike was on fire.... i stopped the bike and ran away leaving the key and soon it was all fumes...some local people poured water on my bike and cooled it down...
3rd time it was on empty city bypass where i was racing my friend on ns and he pulled me over to say that its emitting smoke...but i knew nothing will happen so i kept riding.... its f*****g useless mailing bajaj..
Now they have simply stopped replying to my mail... feel like breaking their head with the fork pipe...


Still today the problem has not been found and svc still says it lube... touchwood it did not happen anymore after that for few months till now but now my head is leaking oil...


In this case its engine oil which leaked from somewhere...

hmmm i see. your case seems far more worse and abit different than princesirohi's one time incident. can't help but laugh at the "running away from the bike in fear". oh man, must be very scary experience. bro with all respect, you're not exaggerating abit are you?
btw, steam doesn't give the burning smell, it's supposed to be a result of heated up cat con exhaust internals ? Also i heard smoke from the engine oil is blu-ish in color ? that true ? your smoke is white.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

What i said is all true.... xbhp member sayank10 from kolkata is proof when it happened in city.... i was riding his ns with mine when he noticed fumes.... you can ask him... and for the earlier two incidents, i do have prove but they are on facebook, not in xbhp... so if you are on facebook in my profile send me a pm ill make u talk to them... btw..no offence taken brother... jiska hota hain usi ko pata hain... :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

yea no need to prove lol, i believe you !

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

^^Me too had this problem a few months ago and got it rectified. Unlike Rahulbraik I never experienced any fumes but oil would leak when the engine got very hot from the marked places as in the pics

the leakage was there only after extensive riding in my case. after repeated visits and torturing the mechanics at svc I finally got the gasket at 1, sealant for the wires going into magneto cover at 2, and o-ring rubber washer at 3(oil filter cover). and finally the leaking stopped.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

Whoa! 140 km/h continuously for 50 kms should strain the engine heavily but smoke bellowing out means some gasket as [MENTION=42230]surampudijagadeesh[/MENTION] said, might need replacing. Try the consumer forum next time instead of Bajaj SVC

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

has anybody tried these: Motorcycle Safety . I am looking for the same but if someone already used them please post your experiences

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

Well many might have already answered you, but since you asked me, here's what I have to say -

1) In today's market conditions, and the amount of money you would want to spend on a motorcycle at this (and I'm saying that since you are thinking about Pulsar 200NS, so I'm guessing in what budget you might want your motorcycle), there's no better overall package than the Pulsar 200NS... period!!

2) Having said that and having own the erstwhile Pulsar 200, it took a huge amount of time to fully accept the ride characteristics of the NS. I so totally loved the erstwhile Pulsar 200, everything about it, but then the NS grew on me, big time!!

3) For issues, people said about, engine heat, tyres and many other things. So, here's my take on that. As many have already pointed out, the Servicing of the motorcycle does play a huge role in the proper maintainability of the motorcycle. The engine needs to settle down, and during the break in period, the engine WOULD heat up a bit more than normal and it's absolutely fine. For the tyres, the first day I took the bike out of the showroom, I rode it through knee deep water logged roads, mud and what not, and not for once the tyres slipped. I did had a couple of occasions where the front end slipped but that can happen with any rubber (even the stickiest of the rubber flounder... no big deal). Recently I was riding in full blown rain in speeds of 70+ kmph and no problems at all. Tyres have a breakin in period of about 500-600 km so, let the rubber settle in. If at all you want to change the rubber, do it as early as possible, so that you can get a good bargain of the stock ones.

4) If you want absolutely butter smooth engine, the please forget about performance and look no further than Hondas and live happily ever after with an under-performing engine (classic case is the engine of Karizma and Honda CBR 250R). Every juice of performance which the engine of the NS could produce, has been extracted and the engine would show that in it's behavior. There are some panel vibes and vibes felt on the foot pegs below 5k rpms. Pull beyond 7k rpms and that's where the engine starts singing, you would be blasting off faster than you would think or like to blast off. Keep the engine tuned properly and take care of it and you would get used to the mild harshness that might be there. For me, I've started to like it, there's a sense of brutality to it, which kinda grows on you.

5) The stability of the NS is stupendous. Brake to a halt and you won't need to put your foot down for a good 2-3 secs. The stiff pressed steel perimeter frame gives amazing lateral rigidity which shows in the handling as well as braking. I've Nissin brake lines front and rear for additional bite and not for once the brakes have disappointed me.

So, don't worry, what ever you buy, just trust it and it would trust you back.. and if that's NS, then take my word that you can trust it with eyes closed.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

that much smoke is way too much man, did you shown the photographs (if you have) to service centers.

no, no... my incident is not one time, till date it has happened twice.

however in my case the smoke was very less... just like an agarbatti or cigrette smoke.

may be after all it is the engine oil leaking..

Re: Pulsar 200 NS : My 1st

In my case clutch side gasket have been changed once but still it happened the last time.... it has not happened for last 4 months though.... i almost forgot about this until i saw someone posting here... but this is a serious issue


Still even if i sustain such high speeds why would smoke come from the bike... btw any idea how to complain in the consumer forum....?


Its definately engine oil coz it was maroonish black in color and my engine oil is 7100 which is reddish....
