An update guys. Managed 220 kms for 500 bucks worth petrol. At 77.00 per litre, that translates to 34 km/l, 1km/l less than my previous average. All this in a mix of all sorts of riding conditions - B2B traffic, highway cruising at 8k rpm, potholed roads, normal empty city street rips, casual slow riding at 50 km/h, etc. But the majority of it has been short bursts.
Very happy with this setup, I'm gonna keep it for life.
[MENTION=36300]Rahulbarik[/MENTION], I'm running exactly the same ratios as duke: 42/14 which is equal to 39/13.
Gotta love duke. It still accelerates better.

Mee too want this setup, but since i am into touring i will have to bunk this plan... :-(

Guys...

What will happen, if i remove ExhausTech?

Will there be any mileage and performance decrease?
Am looking to get exhaust note like found in KTM...

@B7ACKTHORN To put it another way, what I should do to make it happen? as it seems incosistent by the way you said! plese elaborate

There, broken just answered it. All these things are nitty-gritty mate. Some things can't be explained.

No it isn't superfluous actually. This engine deserves aggressive short gearing. Stock gearing itself is pretty tall. The addition of this 13T front sprocket has made overtaking on the highway much easier in 6th, which is necessary for me, since the highways going away from Mysore are usually pretty packed up.
Still haven't had a chance to drag.

Rahul and Aditya, it seems you both guys have different.

Rahul thanks for the heads up. Thing is overgearing is meant to reduce the redlining, which indeed turns into relaxed cruising, reduced vibrations, and more throttle cover up. But Aditya wanted his bike set up for traffic carving, which indeed makes the bike even more aggressive in low end, which was his needs. But yes, overgearing and riding it for daily city rides is practically not that rewarding, but do the reverse it's a cracker, and vice versa, but still undergearing has a slight upper hand when it comes to overgearing the 200 NS.

Cheers!

@B7ACKTHORN , [MENTION=57486]broken87[/MENTION]... I got it.. Thanks

New bike...Rear Disc break noise (like a rubbing noise of metal & rubber)... noticeable at lower speeds & while moving. Any self repair/cleaning advises or to take it to SVC? Please suggest..

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

It will go off eventually. Almost everyone had complained about it, but after service also will come. For me it's gone after a 1k more in odo after the sound started

It's near impossible and costs a lot if you plan to. Take a look at duke's exhaust pipe. It swirls toward the LH side of the engine and meets the UB exhaust at the top. Whereas our NS has a conventional exhaust pipe which meets the UB exhaust at the bottom. Not sure if the duke's exhaust directly fits on the engine but even if it does, there should be space to install the duke's UB exhaust such that nothing comes in between that and the exhaust pipe. I'm saying this because if you observe closely, NS's exhaust box has been pivoted at the top to the perimeter frame, at a point where, I believe the exhaust pipe meets the box in duke.
Though duke and NS have same displacement and gearbox. That's where the similarity ends. Most parts are non-interchangeable. Duke makes 1.5 Bhp power and 1 Nm torque more because it has FI and DOHC. And the ultra light weight & exhaust note exaggerates it. Finally, when you do succeed in your venture, you may not gain anything more than the exhaust note and very very slight increase in power or no increase at all. Or you may screw up your bike coz it's not designed for it.
Duke = radical
NS = conventional

Earlier batches came with 43. Later ones 42.

Your comment makes no sense...

I know KTM & NS have different Exhaust System...

My Question is, What will happen if we Remove "ExhausTec"
The small box which is added to the Exhaust pipe, that we find in all Bajaj Bikes...

Since you said you wanted KTM sound, I assumed you're looking for that exhaust system.
Then my friend, you'll have a very loud bike. But definitely not the KTM sound. All the best.
P.S your neighbors are gonna love you for it.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

If the pipe along is available in market, will buy it
and experiment the old one...

If it doesnt go as planned, will fit in the new one

Dude! How? Did you have to compromise on the level of brake's play?
Please let me know, how you got it done.

I think you are talking about the black rectangular resonator box on the exhaust. The resonator box is common on all Pulsar models. Joel had asked me to remove the resonator box (obviously by welding) and cover the opening.

He said that would improve the performance from stock exhaust, however, I never got the oppurtunity to try it.

Same here...
I have ppl for welding etc...

The thing is tat, i dont want to mess up my bikes performance and mileage...

If that part spare is available in Bajaj, i can easily experiment on it...

Actually there is more similarity than just the displacement and gearbox... most off tye stuffs are same....

i know this coz i was an emoloyee of a ktm showroom for 2 months and investigated a lot of similarities... just check the part numbers from ns and duke if you ever come accross and both are same.... the funny thing is that the same parts costs more in a ktm package while costing lesser in a bajaj packing... :-P so now my friends have started buying spares from bajaj and fitting tyem in their dukes

who will pay more :sly::sly:
