Btw are you talking about the arear which comes i contact with the pads or the place just outside the contact area where it is hinged... if its the latter then it happens on almost all brands :-)

Its the area which comes in contact with the pads..

thats why i am worried..

ok then its really confusing, i'm getting 55 kmph at 4k rpm, somebody 54 and someone else 62!!

anyway i noticed a strange thing, while doing CO checkup, rpm shown is more from rpm shown in their digital meter by a good amount like 300-400rpm. I had told them same, they said its normal.. Have u noticed same in your case?

Yes its strange that different people are getting different readings... actually to be frank all the ns our kolkata naked wolves perform differently... few of them have weak performance.... my bike and another bike seems like a rocket...both are from first lot. Specially mine...its a rocket. Everyone who has ridden it says the same that it has much more performance and the sound is very different from the rest... it has got a deep bassy grunt. The most noticeable diff is the midrange and torque on my bike. Strange stuff. The newer lots i am seeing have less performamce and a stable mileage... maybe bajaj has worked on the mapping and internals. And about meter showing more rpm, yes i have seen it all bikes of other manufacturers too... the bike meter shows a bit more than the digital... but maximum by 100-150 rpm... 400 is way too much. Maybe the guy was holding the meter a bit to far away from the engine and spark plug cables

It need not be rust. May be a case of oxidation. Usually seen on cars too. One can take the bike to an open stretch and brake aggressively for a few times. It'll peel off the oxidation layer.

3k rpm - 45

5k rpm - 75
6k rpm - 90
7k rpm - 105
8k rpm - 120
9k rpm - 135
10k rpm - 150
Touching redline 10.8k rpm with the shift light blinking is 158kmph in stock form, the maximum i got... while nokia gps was showing 146-147 continuously And my friends fireblade beside me showing 151 kmph on his speedo.
Strangely, for every 1k rpm the speed varies by exactly 15kmph

Are you sure about these values??? There are the exact readings of my R15 and am sure NS values will be higher than this. Dunno exact value, but it is definitely higher than this.

So though the tank vibrations have reduced, the plastic panels vibration is killing me..

Our dear NS may look minimalistic but it has a brickload of plastics all around. And the thing with plastic is that you cant keep em together by using all your force to tighten the respective bolts. The service guy is right about the cracks. It needs to be tightened with a specific torque. And that's done using a torque wrench. Anything else will definitely bring in vibration noises after a few kms. You need to learn to live with them coz no amount of maintenance will help you to get rid of them COMPLETELY.

Bajaj got rid of the handling and reliability problems of older pulsars with the 200NS. Let's hope the 375 and the other smaller pulsar comes uber smooth.

I too find the observation correct. Even mine's from the first batch in my city. I myself felt other NS's to be a bit less responsive. Or maybe the free-revving nature of our bikes was because of the way we ran it in (or broke it in) compared to the others.

Hello Everyone

Back to XBHP after a few days, its good to get experience from others experience.

Got some questions in mind. I met a accident on last Saturday and fall off. Reason was applied brakes normally but gravel on road.

Loss: Leg guard bent, gear lever bent, as i was not wearing knee guard, so knee got rashes badly, and few small scratched in a finger and at shoulder along with a very big personal loss which i cant discuss here.

What i don't understand is I had met this type of accident 4 times including this and every time the reason was gravel on road and once wet surface. Every time i applied brakes suddenly in proper manner but bike falls towards left side. Here i have doubt that 4 times, every time different road and different condition but bike falls towards left side only. I am very sure about this accident (Latest one) that i had applied brakes very softly but still bike got slipped. Another thing that why only to left side.

A few days ago i believe some had posted that this is because of brake lines and some got them replaced with P220's for front and Duke 200's for rear.

What you guys suggest, if its true that there is a problem, then replacing brake lines will really help us out or not.

Kindly share your view on the above.

It was me who changed the brake lines to Steel braided on my NS... both front and rear...

Your Brake will be super sensitive, Also the play will be lesser... Rear brake will act like front...

If you have no idea on how to brake on certain scenario, you will end getting the bike skid...

Check your suspension... usually under hard braking, ppl will give more pressure on the rear brake, it results in putting more weight on the
right side of the bike, hence result in skidding..

Change your rear tyre to MRF Revz-s if your pocket allows it, or else learn how to brake properly..
use little bit of front brake too...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Hi just your post on brakes and suspension. If I might add my 50 cents. Normally the weight transfer under heavy breaking is to the front. It is to do with physics. One of the the biggest challenges of motorcycle design is to prevent the front from diving under braking towards this ends you have the telever, paralever set ups etc. As for the skid it is to do with the gyroscopic effects of engine rotation versus wheel rotation. Sorry I made the post as brief as possible

Yes i am sure... i have measured it again amd again.... so if r15 also have the same reading then these are the possibilities... either r15 has a greater speedo error
or ns has a lower speedo error or they are geared quite same and the ns with more power, a slight faster revving motor and a 6th drive gear has the acc-top end advantage :-) i think its the 3rd... bajaj can copy from the r15...who knows... ;-)

It is very strange actually.... the newer lots dont even have a chance in front of our old lots when doing speed runs... the acceleration part... nearing top end, they are much smoother though... and the newer lots are more linier.... the raw power from the first lot is missing which still gives me nightmares... the newer ones are made to work more smoother...
As you said, it could be our run-in/breaking in style.... but still there is a difference

Very true... the rear tyre is kinda useless in braking... its the front... more than 95-100% of braking load is on front tyre under braking with the rear contributing between 5-0%. The rear brakes are just there to stabilize the bike... we dont press them, we just give a light tap on them to stabilize with the front sqeezed. To slow the rear wheel, you have your gearbox for that.... simply downshift and match the revs or in extreme cases simply go for hard downshifts. The rear will slow down but never skid. Let the engine control the rear...its scary at first but whem someone can get hold of it..it s very safe. Some think it harms the gearbox... well i have doing it on bikes for years and never faced a problem.

The rust has been there for quite a while, it should have peeled off by now if its oxidation right? I will try it out though..thanks

Ok..but Is there any way of inserting cloth or rubber near the plastic parts to reduce it? Has anyone attempted this?

And to everyone i have not done any mods till now..everything is stock except some stickering. So any suggestions please?

Will be glad to do anything which will make my bike look and perform better..

Will post a pic soon..

Ok,il check with my friend. I guess NS does 90 @5/5.5k rpm. That's what he said. Don't remember exactly. And there can't be this much Speedo error in both the bikes. Either we both are wrong or both have same gear ratio. Let me check with my friend

Edit: confirmed. It does [email protected] Rpm while R15 does 90@6k Rpm

Did you check it yourself....? Check it once more.... it does 90 at 6k rpm. 75 at 5k and 105 at 7k....

Why did you remove the extensions? Any particular reason?
