Changing Gears at Red line wont make u go fast, there is a RPM range where u have to shift your Gears to get the max speed out of it..

Is it True?

How do i properly shift my NS?

I did shift at redline at all gears, both bike was stock...
Mine is done 2700km odo

wah kya basti karayi re (humiliation lol), but u lost to p180 by what margin ? it's ok u know, always give respect to P150/180s, they've been here long before our NS came in the market.
all you need to know at the end of the day is what your NS is actually capable of.. you don't need to prove everytime it you're riding. This is what I tell myself at red lights etc to resist any unsafe drag competition even if provoked by other riders. sure redline your bike from the right light.. but only with the right intentions.
btw, P180's low end torque should allow better initial acceleration with a Pillion right ? I've found taking off well on NS with a Pillion isn't even nearly as easy as found on other Pulsars.

The low torque is due to the oversquare engine layout of NS . oversquare engines are rev happy and hits the red line really fast and produce more power but with some loss in low end torque. they produce max power and torque at a high rpm

My brother's friend had one in his pulsar and he ended up damaging his piston.

So what other filter do you suggest?

No protection from wind....

NS owners .....kindly share how you cope with windblast.

On a recent trip to Ooty from Bangalore, I wore a thick jacket to reduce the effect of wind blast to a small extent. The logic is to use a slightly thick jacket which fits perfectly near the arms and doesnt allow the wind to enter. Loose jackets can cause a slight "parachute" effect if I may call it that

.Wind Blast during the 800 kms trip was bearable with cruising speeds varying from 90 to 110 kmph. Hope this helps.

This generally doesnt happen at least with a 180

but jokes apart, hope you were in a safe environment while racing, thats most important. A possible reason for you to be slower could be that you were less prepared than the 180 rider - meaning to say that you may have started off late. Alertness matters a lot in my opinion. Experts would probably have a more scientific explanation?

Hmm cover your body as much as possible simple logic ...this will reduce wind effect and have a proper sized helmet that is utmost important...happy riding ..

Guys i never driven a naked above 70 75 kmph..my friends fzs handles feels little vibration due to wind so how you guys take this as on highways where excess wind and speeds above 100 effects stability...

Thanks arjun bharadwaj.
I was wearing a jacket and pretty tight too , but I was surprised too at the wind blast.
I did get a lot of cross winds and it was not comfortable as bike was becoming highly instable , like it might tip over .

However when i had ridden in NICE road earlier in the week , din have any crosswinds and it was comfortable. But this time on the OMR road , I got a lot of cross winds ...will try out a thicker jacket.

what surprising is a flagship motorcycle like NS does not have any accessories available.

How is a thicker jacket going to protect you from crosswinds ?
Try a crouching position to minimize crosswind, now there might be some DIY methods of attaching custom made windscreens onto the existing visor mounts, will make it comfortable for touring a bit, now but then again don't expect much immunity from crosswind, you should have known better while choosing a naked bike, live with it.

guys what is your experiance with high speeds on highways...how ns performs...i jusy drove this bike within city but never got a chance to take it on high speeds

Thanks for you're kind words.
Yes I was aware of this while buying the bike and I was looking at suggestions and tips from fellow NS owners to help me handle it better

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

the paints from the rim is chipping off
any one experienced this?
like only 5 months done, and this is happening :@

Yes, can be due to these small sharp stones chipping off a small flake of paint from the rim, and then dust and pressure wash makes it worse. Have heard that spray painting it can be a good way of covering it up. I think the exact same color can be matched with off-the shelf available spray can. Forgot the brand name of the paint, i think its from nippon paint or something.

But, do try writing to bajaj with a pic and run your luck, maybe you can run for a replacement.

The rim chipping off paint is quite common in the Pulsar series and for that matter most bikes out there. Yes it looks odd at times. But apart from that it's due to the usual wear and tear and even water washing to an extent. I've even seen them in Ninja so you need not worry, just so you get smug.

@krish2778, I don't think think they'd replace the RIM for just a paint chip off, unless it resembles something like a half cooked face like Joker in the batman series.

Can't find another example. But that's just me.

Cheers!

Hehe...i know..but it's always worth a try....the chances of replacement is directly proportional to the heat of the letter/mail...:-P
