1 year 5 months & 24250 kms of abuse and the bike is going strong.

Mods: cylinder head tweaks, stock replacement air filter (without the breather tube for the box), bigger main jet, 13T front sprocket and big rear tyre to aid the final gearing.

As of now, due to the absence of the breater tube, there is just one hole on the box. This makes airflow at low rpms turbulent and the low end of the engine is nearly non existant. Im planning to cut the box in the front in the shape of a rectangle to remove any obstructing plastic (to reduce the turbulence effect) and install a 120 main jet to compensate for slightly extra air flow.

0-60, 0-100 equals those of D200. Top speed: 151 km/h (~136 km/h without error).

Pros of mods: acceleration i.e fun factor, engine revs very freely and quickly.
Cons: FE reduced by 5 km/l due to the super short final gearing, lots of hassles during initial days of mods, engine stressed out a bit more on highways, carburetor needs more maintenance to keep it clean.

For those in doubt regarding the sprocket lag of the 13T due to excessive clearance on the gearbox shaft, adjust your clutching-declutching methods for a smoother pickup and decel.

Kms after modifying: 6k including one 1200 km round trip and numerous 300 km days. No problems faced (again except for initial days).

Major parts replaced: carb diaphragm, radiator (owing to a mishap), tyres.

Overall, very happy with my 200NS!
Cheers!

Your 0-60 0-100 equals that of D200 ? My god I wanna ride your NS ! What about Clutch plates after 24k Kms.. still haven't been changed ? It's easier to pop a wheelie with 13T sprocket right ? I had my plans to try out 13T sprocket when I change my rear tyre to a bigger one, as of now my Euroslip is just not wearing out !

The engine is fed via the valves and the source feed is the carburettor, as we all know. Intake stroke or for that matter, the valves alone wouldn't in anyway lean out an already pre mixed ratio of fuel and air, as its primary job is to let in and stop. Since you've had an issue with the AF (indicated above) and the airbox earlier, I guess the increased air intake might have caused the discrepancy. If you've modified the airbox, check the level of mixture or upjet accordingly.

Check your airbox (if modded or cut etc) check the air filter, check the mixture ratio, then upjet or downjet accordingly.

I gotta admit, that theory about valves setting in made me chuckle, how the valves dilute a AF mixture since it is already premixed at the carburetor? Check the AFR screw, it might be coming loose from vibrations, that used to happen on my RX135. Well, 200NS has a fuel screw so it should not happen, but check anyway, I suggest you check the air box, the tapes might be coming off after some time.

Believe me Ive done N number of checks in my spare time on weekends opening up the bike and checking the box & carb for proper sealing. Everything seems to be fine. Air is going in thru one part and that's the air filter. I cant seem to arrive at a conclusion for this. At some point I simply decided, as long as the FE lies between 30-40 km/l for my style of riding, the engine is OK for now. I too found the explanation for comp sealing and valve settling a tad amusing.

Yea i forgot to mention that. Maybe the one thing i do perfectly is upshifting and downshifting. At 24k kms old, the plates are good to go another 20k kms it seems. I know a few experts who own this bike and have changed clutch plates either as part of a routine maintenance or due to complete deterioration by 25k kms.

And no ive NEVER attempted wheelies, ever. Im not the stunter guy. Im more of the zip zap zoom guy

I like the bike to feel like it weighs peanuts though it weighs just as much as any other NS out there. That acceleration makes it feel so light. The mods i have on the engine only make it rev freely and im not talking about whole Bhp gains. The small sprocket-big tyre combi makes it a city-carver and an acceptable cruiser. In fact the big tyre gives a slight overgearing effect so at any rpm my NS is at a slightly higher speed than stock duke but much lower than stock NS.

Small front sprocket not recommended for hardcore tourers. It's for the lip smacking yummy commute experience and the crazy quick munching up of corners and twisties. Tourers can try the avenger's 38T .520 pitch rear sprocket. Its a direct fit and overgears the bike a bit.

If anyone can create a separate thread on explaining the procedure of making gears short, that'll be great.

There is a thread on Sprockets, have a look at it. All has been explained there.
If you feel the gears are tall, try installing larger rear sprocket or smaller front sprocket. Changing rear sprocket is easier.
Would give you more acceleration, but the top-end will decrease a little bit.

(i hope i am not giving false information

You are in the half who dun know there s***.
People change their NS tyres because they feel the need for it. They dun want to end up skidding on a highway and come home with a dozen broken bones. And more or less this communtiy is for these kinds of discussions so with all due respect, please watch what you write.

P. S.-I don't think you own a NS, do you?

hahahaha people these days
yes i still go with theyre fine. if you brake properly, theyre absolutely FINE in dry situations. i never said theyre awesome and best tyres? did i?
okay yes i do agree r15 and dukes tyres are better. okay but do you know even they skid during hard braking? i know many of my friends who have faced skidding and stuff on r15 and duke. they dont have abs, so obviously theyre gonna skid due to improper braking
yes i very well know what i write, that post was like, man an 1000cc bike has no power at all, something similar to that brakes are bad thing.
and YES i do own an ns, i know quite a lot about it.

and yes if you do have problem braking on ns, there are many people who can help you out on this forum, many experienced ns riders, if they dont, then contact me

ill be happy to teach

P.S. dont try to be a daddy here, its not fascinating

yes its easier to pop wheelies in 13t sprocket, very easy infact, but if youre learning to pop, please do wear gears :P some where around 8k rpm
if you want a duke like acceleration then you can switch to 13t, cheapest way costed me only 150 bucks including fitting. thats the best thing ive done on my bike.

**abhiwltya** · 02-13-2014, 03:55 AM

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Yeah i bet in other experience topics you own a duke and may be r6 or r1 too, right?

Someone who thinks stock tyres are as best as it could get o. NSwill teach me how to brake?

I am sure going to come visit!

And the point was can someone do better saftey wise with better tyres?
Anyways, i don't think you can add any value to the discussion, so peace out!

P. S. - that 1000 cc thing was really lame.

Following is my personal opinion and its of if someone does not agree.

P200NS gears are not excessively tall, in fact the first three (1st, 2nd & 3rd) are short gears, which aids in better pick-up, yes 4th, 5th & 6th are comparatively tall, but not excessively tall. if you make 4th, 5th & 6th gears also short, cruising on highways will suffer, top speed will be reduced along with mileage. so the gearing of NS is quite ok.

still if you want, you can play with sprocket size.

the stock eurogrip are definitely fair enough for dry tarmac riding. you said you were fishtailing, don't get angry, but i will suggest using front brake more than rear brake.

and since you like your wheel locked and going straight instead of fishtailing, i will suggest you start disliking the locked wheel, coz a locked wheel is not good.

having said that, its still better to upgrade to better rubber...for better wet grip.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

yes just let me know if ive posted on other ownership threads saying i own a duke r15 bla bla? okay?
anyways if youll want to change the stock tyres, CHANGE it. am i stopping youll?
your money, your wish. i got nothing to do with that

Had a mini heart attack.
Thanks to euroslips.

Pardon me for butting in, but how did you measure 22 inches? You carry a tape and use it on roads?

Anyways, higher usage of front brakes would help curb fishtailing issues. Eurogrips are decent for dry roads. Carrying insane speeds on any tires is lethal.

P.P.S - fishtailing and stoppie story kinda don't gel well together!
