Last week, Monday, i filled the tank again, but this time from a Delhi petrol pump around Airport. After that i started getting this issue more. Again this monday i filled the tank to full but from my home town and have not experienced this irritating Stall issue again. I would definitely ask this Delhi dealer which petrol he put in the bike.
    Very valid point. I strongly suspect there is something with these gas station and the fuel quality they use. I always stick with same gas station. [MENTION=69967]Minisoda[/MENTION], you better keep an eye. I suspect the additives help this issue. It's more related to fuel quality provided by some. Did you try changing to different ones?.

      If you mean changing the petrol stations, then no I have not tried any others. I used the same pump to fill Normal and Speed petrol i.e. Bharat Petroleum.

      Is BP and Bharat Petroleum the same or are they different?

      I'll try fuel from another petrol pump as soon as I finish the fuel I have in my bike now. Will report back!

        hahahaah bro good joke !!! I have never met anyone who has a Bajaj and has been able to accurately calculate that. If you meet anyone please holler out since I would definitely like to meet that person too.

          <<<<ALERT >>>>

          Gentlemen, Please read these topics: They are about coolants & their maintenance (very important)






          The conclusion is that Motul Inugel coolant is very harmful for the NS/AS/NS/RS bikes. This coolant is damaging the important oil-seal at waterpump chamber, hence making coolant to enter the crankcase & mixing with engine oil, therefore silently killing the engine.

          Another bad news is "maybe" few NS/AS/RS bikes came with default factory filled Motul Inugel coolant So please check this issue by looking through your engine oil window. If you see any white milky bubble/froth or green-ish liquid, urgent attention is required!

            I am observing this a lot. Some black film particles getting deposited. Is it normal or something to worry about and get checked? Also what this is called or can be since SVC guys would try to say this is Ok and i may have to explain the issue to them with some help from here

              I think this is normal for a new engine. I have seen a Triumph Speed Triple spewing out the same black stuff out of it's exhaust because the bike was new. I observed this in my bike when it was new too, it's not present in the same quantity now.

              Thanks for the heads up. Will check this ASAP.

                I have a red rs abs version and from the third day of its purchase some kind of squeaky sound is coming out from the front part of the bike. The sound increases with the speed. Sometimes the sound goes off by itself but most of the time it is present. Also the chain of the bike is sounding too much even after lubrication. The sound is coming from the front part of the chain like "chhan chhan". Is it normal for a new bike?

                  Squeaky sound is from a bearing in the front wheel. I also have this problem and I asked the SVC they said the bearing that Bajaj used is from 200 NS. Now since RS 200 has a bigger disc up front, the bearing doesn't fit and goes dry and starts to squeak. It is very annoying and we are yet to find a solution to this sound. My friend had this problem from Day 1.

                  The other sound is most probably a loose chain. Get it tightened and lubricated properly and it should vanish.

                  Hope this helps.

                    While filling at BP all over should be the same, but commonly said by my friends, they would say "fix one station and fill there always". But I don't really know the meaning of that and I'm following. I use BP for my Activa and HP for my NS. Because HP accepts ICICI card which has surcharge discount. I'd advice you to switch to other gas station once and check if the problem persists. Do it post hitting reserve. Because from mine and my friends experience in all these years, speed didn't visually or physically gave any difference.

                      Thanks for the reply. Will try to get some normal fuel from another station and see If I can feel any difference.

                      Also on a side note: how do I know I've hit reserve?

                        The reason i asked is because a fellow member posted the same and it seemed there was some issue. I can not search that post again, so don't know if it's a genuine issue or not. I was planning to visit the SVC tomorrow, so was thinking if any help on this is can work over there.

                          I think it's not normal..my splendour deposits this black particler through the silencer because the engine oil moves into the cumbustion chamber..yours may be different reason but a matter to worry and to be checked as soon as possilbe

                            I guess it's best to get it checked. While you're there could you also ask about the tappet noise? If it is serious? That tik tik sound is driving me crazy. Thanks!

                              I had this issue before my first service and the SVC guy recognized after driving it. He tightened something over there.

                                I see. Did he remove the fairing to tighten it? Or the tank cover?

                                I'll report it to the SVC. Hopefully they can solve this.

                                I don't really trust these guys to do anything. Yesterday I went to get the chain adjusted and they didn't know how to do that even!
