Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Water in fuel most probably.... dont think its air lock


I did break it really really hard... used to rev till redline and then leave the throttle and let it come down as engine braking... did it in every gear.... only harsh engine braking when rpm dropped below 5k, used to down shift and again repeat... did it in every gear for a month :-P now you can well imagine how i abused it.... but i am surprised to see that nothing is wrong in this bajaj engine ;-) i enjoy the performamce :-P btw my engine is not at all free revving like other engines.... mine revs much slower tham others.... the huge difference my engine has is the extra low end grunt along with a very high midrange torque... mine is very torquey.... as i told you..it just jumps if i release the cluth aggressively...and 1st to 2nd gear shifts are done with pop up wheelies many times.... need to change my tyre... i am hating the zapper q... stock was better...

Re: Pulsar 200 NS


Can anyone tell me whether it's 200 or 220..?

BIKING-its all in..,

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

I agree. Maybe the plastics are of a bit low quality but the engine is darn good. Rock solid I must say. Some people just don't realise what a gem of an engine it has and simply put off the bike as 'not-so-good'. Trust me, I've seen so many people criticize NS.

There were times when I did 130+ speeds repeatedly and maintained an average of 115-120 km/h for nearly 120 kms and at the end of it the engine was ready to do more. All under stock conditions. But otherwise I usually cruise at 100 for the sake of serenity and FE.

Go for a 140 section rear tyre man. Dunlop for the grip or ContiGo for the looks. ContiGo looks BIG though it's a 140. Suits the bike real well! And yes, this engine can easily handle these bigger tyres with ease. No mileage drop, almost no performance drop. Though, speeds in individual rpms will be more. Proves again what a gem of an engine we have, eh? I still remember my friends with R15V1s who installed revz 140 for the looks and screwed up their performance and FE.

Hybrid.... xD

On a serious note, it's a 220 with NS's rear tyre hugger and rear seat that's all.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Actually everyone is against buying a ns... those who ride the ride as it is meant to be ridded, they dont complain... complain comes from people who dont ride and keep assuming things and have fancy dreams... the most common complain is the bike dont have balance... ask them what they meant by balance and they dont have any idea. 2nd is poor brakes.... they say the bike dont stop... i think they should be run over by this bike only. Another breed of morons say the bike lacks corner stability and dont have power inside corners....and some other bajaj bike with 20cc more is much better in these two.... i think these people should be shot at point blank range and the transported to the nearest grave on the ns itself.... they simply dont have any idea what they talk about... there are more types of funny observations by these people. Some even says bajaj copied the engine design from yamaha... because it looks same from outside... they dont realise liquid cooled mills dont have cooling fins.... i have stopped paying heed to them and instead wait for the oppurtunity to show them some practical stuff what its capable of.... my only complains are the ultra-wide handlebar, the handlebar positioning is a bit odd, the saddle height, looses feedback in bad roads and its lacks the handlebar feedback of a 220.., overall a bit more feedback from the road is needed.
Regarding tyres i will not buy a contigo at amy cost.. dunlop my friend used and it makes the bike extremely bumpy... the tyre makes the rear jump and loose contact with the road very easily but for sane riding its quite good... using zapper q now and its worse than stock. I had used revz-s and i was damn happy with it.... its the best possible tyre for the ns though i had wheelspins sometimes while accelerating mid corners but all in controlled manner unlike the uncontrollable zapper-q but want to experiment with something else... so considering revz-c duke rear... not because its a 150 but because it will become bit roundish and will aid in cornering...and moreover it costs almost as much as the revz-s and it lasts quite long with providing better better grip than revz-s. Just wish we had bridgestone.... btw how much did joelling cost you

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Agree with both of you Aditya and Rahul. NS is purely an awesome package, a unique motorcycle that comes with so much in just 1 Lac rupees, most importantly the reliability that a high revving engine really needs. Plus such a pocket friendly FE. It's crazy that some people have really stupid perception of this truly next gen Pulsar. I actually stare at my bike almost everyday and smile knowing how damn good it is. Even after 1 year I park my 200NS at places and just watch people jump over it, some assholes even vandalise it, check out their faces in it's RVMs and mis position them, sit on rider seat with entire weight on side stand and so much more that causes severe tension and anger sometimes.. I could never tolerate it. These are the things that hurt me as an owner. It's the attention it gets.. and then the funny criticism from jealous people. I just want my bike to blend in when I park it, not stand out. Even thought of selling my NS for reasons mentioned above.. cos some arguements have turned ugly in past.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

People get jealous because its a kind of bike which can do everything that their bikes can and even sometimes more in a comfortable and most importantly dirt cheap way... good reason for being jealous... enjoy your ride...who cares... love making people jealous... still get enquiries from people and looks from chics who admire the beauty.... but only a die-hard owner knows the inner beauty of this amazing engine and chasis which a desi company has managed to build.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

I think no one noticed my question before I am repeating it now, According to your experiences, What mods should i go for (performance or visual) to make my bike look and perform better? Its almost stock except some stickering.. Thanks in advance

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

For a healthy bike keep it stock.... :-) else you can get a ram air intake and supercharger custom made... it does not harm much... but the clutchplates wont last lomg due to excessive power... best keep it stock

Are you my parallel universe replica...? Same fkin happens with me all the time and by the way,ns now costs over 1 lac

BIKING-its all in..,

I also believe in maintaining the virginity of a machine...if you wanted more power....why didn't u buy a .cbr or Honda hornet air something...only stickers that's all

BIKING-its all in..,

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Was just asking your opinions.. I am pretty happy with the power of my bike..The fact that i just have to open the throttle to overtake any vehicle with ease brings a smile to my face every single time..

What about visual? -- Are there engine guards available for NS? If yes, where and any idea how much they cost? Can you both post pictures of your bikes so that i can get an idea about what stickering i can do? Thanks in advance

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

if you want performance in very less price with acceleration increase and little loss in top end, around 145 max
then go for a smaller front sprocket, am using this for around 3 weeks i guess and got to say boom accerelation is spot on, 0-100 comes way faster and very easy to over take in all gears in highway and city both, obviously there is a mileage drop. but around 2-3kmpl cause the rpm is always above 7k in my case.
if youre a cruiser and ride speeds around 120 then i wouldnt recommend it for you.
i currently know 3 users whove done this mod and happy with it.
so try and see if you like it, cost is 150rs+50rs fitting charge.

by the way can some one tell me where can i find patronas oil in mumbai?
its time for my oil change
4100kms done, running on 3100 motul, changed at 550kms and 2300kms

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

LOL seriously? People complained of BRAKING and CORNERING? It's one of the best in class. AFAIK cornering is a tad better than KTM 200 Duke and braking is almost at par with Duke's steel braided lines. An upgrade in that department further improves it. Cornering is NS's USP!
I've had the cooling fins queries fired at me too. "Dude something's wrong. Cylinder looks as big as splendor's engine" LOL

Check out Bridgestone Battlax BT45. Not sure of the size. Could be 130 or 140.

Joelling costed me 11k. That got me stock replacement air filter, cylinder head mod, bigger carb jets. Planning to install a bigger mikuni carb and conical filter.

Modifying can be related to catching a new habit like boozing or smoking cigarettes. Not losing virginity. Heck, I didn't remove any 'seal' if you know what I mean

On a serious note, modifications, if done correctly improve the volumetric efficiency of the engine. Using a free flow air filter, free flow exhaust, different cam setup, etc. helps the engine rev more freely and thus make more power. This theory is limited only to naturally aspirated engines though. Use a turbo or supercharger and the engine goes through much more strain.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

You can try fitting the duke engine guard.... it fits... but it does not look good... one guy in darleejing, here has done it


The duke 200 is not as stable as the ns in corners but that is what makes it immense fun to tame the beast with rear spinning out... the duke simply trumps the ns in the steering and chasis feedback.... its the best... trmendous feedback.. even the brakes have superb feedback... the ns is a more tamed beast by nature and it has less feedback everywhere...duke is as raw as it can get... i just hate the short gearing...i run out of revvs mid-corner so damn fast... things get chewed up in a flash... .... :-D
Btw battlax bt-45/39 are both available in our sizes but they are not officially available...neither any grey import... any idea where i can source one?
11k is quite high.... actually whatever mods you do your engine will take a beating... first hit will be clutch, then gearbox and chain-sprocket... then thae brakes... i will consider a big bore if i manage to seize my stock bore :-D

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Not sure about kolkata but there's some dealer stocking them in Bangalore. Ask Arjun, head of NW Bangalore. He knows the shop. Too bad I did I tyre change before I came to know!

Re: Pulsar 200 NS

Modification still, adds the chances of finding "bugs" in your ride, its meant to be stable the way it is from the showroom, after which if you are modifying the original setup, your possibilities of facing problems are increased.
