Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Looks neat and cool mate! [emoji41] Any difficulties in removing the stickers or did it just peel out easily?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


Surprisingly, it wasn't difficult at all. A lot of people said that removing it could harm the paint job but it came off without any issues. Just a few blotches of glue residue that can be removed easily.

I used a hair drier and peeled it off in its entirety.

Sweet! Please do upload a pic from the front if you don't mind.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Please upload some pics without sticker

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

You got my word "Looks a better Bike" after removing the stickers. Trust me, the sticker jobs ruin the bike's real matured look, making it look like some Chinese toys (no offense). I too would love to remove the stickers in my red-black NS, I still love the native red\yellow color paint scheme.

Good luck and riding bro

Just looks beautiful

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience



These were all taken under super bad lighting and with flash, so don't judge . She looks a lot better in real life under natural light.

On that note, a little review from a short guy(5'5") for all the other short people out there interested in the RS:

This is my first bike, the one i learned(still learning) to ride on, so i have no other personal experience with other bikes. I can aalllmost flat foot it while wearing sneakers, so stop and go traffic and general stopping and whatnot is no issue. The only trouble is reversing it . I have to get off the bike and move it even if there's a slight slope, it IS possible to do it while on the saddle but it's a huge pain in the ass.

Sadly, i have dropped it twice due to friggin sand causing me to loose my footing. i Put it down as gently as possible, the exhaust and the bar-ends taking most of the damage.
In tight traffic, it's not so easy to handle for me as the front is heavy and it isn't possible to squeeze into tight spaces like the duke or the R15(damn you duke owners!!(jk))

But as many have said before me, once you start moving faster than 10kmph, the bike is a joy to ride. Overall, i don't regret my purchase one bit. Well, maybe a little bit, could have waited 2 more months and gotten the black version , but i love her nonetheless!!.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Nice work on the sticker mate. About those clutch/brake levers, what difference do you find? Is your new clutch softer like the ones in CBRs?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

niiice!

Now I have to look for my hair drier too! BTW, how did you get rid of the after sticker residue?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

There's no change in the clutch other than aesthetics, but it's a bit easier to reach now since i have small hands and had trouble with the stock levers. I kinda like the hard clutch, it's a nice little workout for my forearm lol.

That's the thing, i thought there'd be a lot of residue but surprisingly, there were none! it all came off perfectly.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Not able to see your pictures.... You did a great job by removing stickers. Ofcourse nobody asked for that, don't know why Bajaj added this stickering job recently (Even with last some batches of NS).

The best advice in case you think you will drop the bike is, Let the bike drop. Because of it's weight, chances are it can pull you along with. Trust me, you will either end up scratching the fairing or bent gear lever mostly and the rest will remain solid. Even I have felt that many times with my NS even though it is 20kgs lighter. When I took off (jumped over the cockpit) from parking, I thought side stand was still there and let the bike to stay on it (but actually I have retracted the side stand), while I tried to take the mobile. Trust me, when the bike sloped to the angle of side stand elevation, I almost couldn't stop it anymore no matter how hard I tried (mind you I weigh 93 Kgs and a heavy built), to some extend I was holding the handle bar and tried hard to stop it from falling, but the bike kept on pulling me along. Finally had to let go the bike (just 2 weeks after my purchase ). Kind if heart broker, bent gear lever, unable to up shift at all and the LCD display showed a black dot (Very disappointed, cursed myself). But after few months, it vanished.

Also when you bias toward either side when parked on a gravel, you are more prone to drop the bike. I can really think about how bad it'd be in RS200 on such conditions. After that incident, I'd pay more attention when parking and always will make sure there are no sand or fine gravels around.


Ride safe.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

one silly doubt...
Is it fine to rev the engine till 7-8k rpm in initial (1st and 2nd) gears?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

If you've completed the run in then it shouldn't be any major problem.
High revving in 1st and 2nd gear on a regular basis will give lower mileage and can also lead to reduction in engine life.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Actually something like this happened with me just recently.

I was at a shop for getting a few photocopies done, and that too with some girls from my class.

I put the side stand down, put my helmet on the tank, and slowly (extremely cautiously) started to lean the bike on the left side expecting the side stand to kick in action any second now.

That never happened and the bike just started to fall on the ground. Somehow I gathered superhero strength and saved the bike halfway down, and a kind man helped me pick the bike up. Man the bike is very heavy. Thankfully the bike never touched the ground.

Best of all the girls never noticed any of this happening, truly a close call! [emoji1]
