Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

AFAIR, when i went inside he had removed the tank cover. After that he said, this is a private area where he was servicing and you can't wait there. So moved to public waiting place.

Yeah these guys in reality don't take care. He drove at high speed and i had an argument with me. Said to me drive as you want, no issue with the machine.

[MENTION=81033]omendrA9[/MENTION], did you find a solution to this problem or what was this? Have you tried visiting the SVC and what did they tell? I might be visiting SVC tomorrow regarding the same issue.

Had a hard time finding this post of yours and started checking from the thread generation

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I guess he was adjusting the valve clearance. Seems quite early, but then again it is a Bajaj. Thanks a lot for the replies bro. Will get it checked soon.

Do post here what they say about that stuff coming out of the exhaust.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Sure. Finally i understand what they say "Buying is the easiest part of a vehicle journey, real thing is its maintenance and getting these issues checked and fixed every now and then". .

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I hope you are asking general behavior of switching to reserve fuel when main pot is empty. Generally, upon or about to hit reserve will result you jerks(Starting with). To confirm that you are about to hit reserve, try opening your throttle wide, that will let more fuel (at least the remaining few ml) to jet in which will rapidly rev down your bike. Meanwhile, you can safely get to left, use clutch and swirl the throttle and the engine will soon refuse to rev up, even it doesn't idle steadily.

Sometimes it will take more than 2-3 Km run to completely go out of fuel in main tank and the bike will behave erratically during that time.

Never trust the console reading or you will be fooled .

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

RS has FI.so there won't be any reserve method I think.but for FI if he rides in almost empty fuel then the FI will go kaput,which our bike with Carb won't happen [emoji51]

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I guess there is no real way of knowing when you hit reserve in FI bikes.

My friend has actually run the bike empty once. Empty as in the bike ran for 45 Km after the last bar was gone from the display. After that his bike apparently refused to start. He checked the tank and it still had fuel left. I wonder if this was the reserve?

I'm not planning to do any such thing to my bike. But I will try another station to see if there is any noticeable effect on performance of the bike.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Well in EFI there is always some fuel left so that it doesn't go kaput.the only way to know is full the fuel to brim and mark the point where its full.then rode for some 80-100 kms in differnet traffic conditions and after that you again fill it to the brim from the same fuel station and same pump.that way you can know .make sure you keep the bike in centre stand while filling both the times or you hold the bike straight instead of side stand

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


Yes you are right sir!!
Bajaj has done something to avoid this situation,
It shows low fuel warning whenevr the fuel is about ≤3.5 litre,
And every bar = 1litre of petrol
(some say that we cant tell the proper amount of fuel left with digital gauges, but for me its opposite)

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Okay guys. Today at 756km of my bike i could not resist and tried to unleash the real beast.

It was NH10 and a smooth road known to me on which last week before my first service i did not go up 60km/h. Today was different.

First try: Started pulling the throttle. Kept on going around 100 and 110 for some time and then pulled pack. Was not confident due to front vehicles. Decided to go safe and pulled pack.

Second try: Carefully observed the surrounding and especially front vehicles. Decided to give a go with full confidence and started pressing the throttle. Well speedometer showed 128km/h and the Yellow RPM emergency indicator glowed up. Remember my friends and forum posts and started pulling back.

Keeping error in speedometer it should have been 125km/h of top speed and the RPM limit glowed up. I observed as soon as that went up i felt bike has grown free and seemed like turning off. If any other member has to share their experience, please let me know how it went.

I advise not to try if you are not confident and not aware of surrounding.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

With fi engine it's advised to keep your tank atleast half because of the fuel pump that might inject air while further causing damage to both engine and pump.
Well that's a big disadvantage with fi engine actually and so its advised to even never run the engine with that empty tank! [emoji52]

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

not yet. i will share when i visit there...

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


Thanks for the reply. So should I worry about the squeaky sound or should I wait for the sound to go away with time?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Oops, I forgot this bike is FI
Carb bikes will store .2 liter of fuel even with empty fuel tank. That's the last drop of fuel, but trust me that is unusable.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I've already had my bearing replaced 3 times now. The sound is still present. Because they don't have the proper equipment to lift the front wheel up in the air, they keep it on the side stand and then 2 guys push the bike towards the stand and then transfer their weight on the rear wheel. This method has made my bike lean more on the side stand so I'm hesitant to give them my bike again. I'm afraid it'll just break.

I will ask them again once I go there. Will post here what I find out.
Indeed. That's why his bike didn't start even when there was some fuel left.

Members have suggested to keep at least some fuel in the bike. Never let it run to the last point. Future owners should keep this in mind and not ask the same question over and over again. Thanks a lot guys!

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

What you have experienced is the fuel cut off, rev limit. But this changes based on wind. On heavy wind, the top speed will come down, you will see the rev limit hitting so early. Sometimes, I feel rev limit hitting at 122kph and sometimes at 128 kph based on wind. Plus RS has shorter gears (compared to NS/AS) to compensate for weight lag, hence the 6th gear saturation shall happen (like in Duke200) which calls for rev limit (fuel cut off). Any guys who have hit the top end rev limit can explain better. My ns never saturates even on full throttle and never experienced fuel cut off in gear 6, the last gear was very taller, say 0.9:1 (approx, i guess)

Yes, it's a good measure. Try full tank to full tank method for Mileage calc. Else, you can shake the bike to feel for the fuel , but that's odd way of finding it

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Does it have ten bars?. In my NS, after filling tank full, first bar goes off after ~80 Km and then next bar at 60 and slowly it drops. When I have last two bars, I could drive a total of 70-90 Km. But my friends FZ shows current reading and goes incorrect only upon side stand.
