    Went with Motul 3000 15W50 as it'd give better protection in Delhi winter and also because I read somewhere that a thinner oil and frequent oil changes help a fair deal in Running-in process.

    Now, bike feels smoother, gear shifts have become much better and false neutrals almost vanished.




    Thanks for the shop name and directions.

    Found it easily, as we used to stay in Krishna Nagar and I know the area well.

    Went there yesterday, luckily found the shop open, usually most shops are closed on Monday's in that market.
    Glad I could help you, the 15w50 was given to you at 270 bucks right...?

    Hahaha, maybe New moderator techniques, who knows.
    Edit-just wanted to ask something, I know use of headphones while riding is a bad thing, but I always listen to songs at very low audible sounds in city riding , will it be safe/workable to listen songs while doing 200km NH streches. ..?

      Personally, I'd advise you against it !
      Never argue with a fool, for he will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

        With so many pm enquiring about that motul shop, I think finding motul in east Delhi is really a mission impossible.
        So I will visit that shop this week, click some photos, phone no. And proper maps address for ease of other nsians.

          This thread is still in the Ownership Experience, I have no idea how you saw it move to the Universal Threads all of a sudden. Strange! But if you see any discrepancies in thread titles or section, kindly PM the mods.

          Cheers!

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          The girl said, 'NO!'


          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


          THE END

            It was in universal section, yesterday around 10pm
            And why the name has been changed from only 200NS TO reviews and ..... when threads here have only bike name as headline..?

              Not at all happy with bajaj service in Chennai Sembakkam area. There is huge communication gap as they dont speak hindi/english and i dont knw Tamil.
              M struggling with rear disk brake noise since i bought this beauty and now there is sound coming from front disk as well. Front disk makes really intresting sound BTW, its like some Radar Or Sonar device, small beeps kind of noise and it goes off if i apply the brakes.
              Have this saturday working so will have to wait till next Satruday to get this fixed. (If only they admit that there is at all a problem )

                  1. Vibrations
                  2. Road grip
                  3. Sound of the engine
                  4. Any information that will help to know this bike better.

                    First of all, DONT PANIC ...
                    this bike is made to do things like you did one time on a daily basis, so you did no harm to bike (as far as shifting, riding style of yours is good)
                    Second, oil level above max..? A BIG NO ,mine oil used to spill from oil filter cap and drop upon muffler. As your bike OIL IS ABOVE MAX and you rode at full intensity, maybe your engine oil got spilled and on hot muffler or exhaust, burning made a white smoke, OR maybe your some petrol reached the exhaust UNBURNED and produced that white smoke.
                    Remedies, clean your bike from the engine bottom, bring your oil level to normal, ride in usual way, check if any smoke comes out ,if not then ride aggressively, check again, if problem persists, visit svc.
                    About REAR DISC HOTNESS, the position of right foot is very uncomfortable as per braking system, usually our ankle goes at an angle, thus pressing brake lever a little bit by default by which a little braking comes into play which you don't notice until you smell burn from rear or touch REAR disc
                    REMEDIES try to keep check on position of your do it upon rear brake lever, get your braking lever play increased a little bit (means adjust lever so that you need to tilt your foot more to brake) ,or you can even get your lever adjusted at an angle, though I will advise to follow first and second only.

                      1. Vibrations, a little bit more than Honda and yamahas, but Definitely A Lot less than tvs. Vibes are there due to crappy bajaj dtsi oil. Use motul and see the heavenly difference.
                      2.Road grip, depends upon tyres in any bike, if you ride normally, don't do cornering and brake effectively, stock tyres are good, if you're opposite of what I described above CHANGE REAR TYRE AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY, by this you will get max resale value of your tyres, you can go rear tyre of r15 v2 ,it's value for money as far as I know.
                      3. Sound of engine,depends upon how to do RUN IN ,how you handle/ take care of your bike and it's needs and which oil you use and how frequently you change it as per schedule,.but one thing, exhaust sound of Ns is more awesome than Duke.
                      4. Treat her like a lady and she will treat you like a man. That's all I cam say

                        thanks for reply bro, wanted to share these things too- 1>after the smoke situation i let the bike cooldown for 10 minutes and went to fill gas, rode for 5 kms bike was normal with no overheating.
                        2> by white smoke i meant that it was vapours of air coming from side panel of bike from left side & there was no oil spill and no radiater fan working nor high coolant temp indicator.also the white smoke vapours started when i stopped the bike after riding.

                        will check tommorow & also a visit to svc

                            Just three months ago I bought a new tvs apache rtr 180 abs but met with an accident within a month and bike was totally crashed out. Now my insurance was claimed and I'm planning to buy a bike so there are mixed opinions from different riders about pulsar 200 ns. So I want to make sure it's uppity my expectation because I was not happy with my apache bike because of its tyre size so now I don't want to waste the money without knowing the bike's pros and cons.
                            If you've any review please let me know.

                              At 1 lac, there is so competition to Ns,so if your budget allows ns, buy it, no comparison with another bike as per cost and performance.
                              Btw, can you tell more about accident of yours and pics too if you have, I would like to now.

                                regarding that white smoke nothing to worry...because of underbelly exhaust ... some chain lubrication falls on exhaust end can and burns off when u ride it too fast coz exhaust gets heated up more.
