Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Thanks a lot for the explanation buddy. I guess I'll just top up with Motul. Yes you're right it is indeed yellowish green in color that's why I got confused since the bike comes with green color coolant. Thanks again!
Thanks guys.
[MENTION=80635]milan2377[/MENTION] I guess you should top up at SVC as soon as possible. The guys in my SVC were putting some strange Tata coolant in my bike so I told them not to do that. Engine heats up more now since there is almost nothing (not even near the "Min" mark!).

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hi Tejas,

I paid a total of 1.55 lakhs for my bike. Got it yesterday evening. I'm disappointed with the carelessness of service guys as the right and left screws of the bike's fairing were loose and the danger light was always on without even touching the break. Got it corrected today.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

ByI m not sure about the source of squeaky sound... But regarding braking, I use both at 65-35% front and rear combination... And today I noted that both disc gets hot and comparably front lot hotter than rear...

Actually it would be helpful if someone just goes for a casual ride and check this heat issue in discs and update... Have u guys ever noticed..?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Thanks Suneth for reply.
So Congratulations for the Beast.
How is the bike and how you feel of RS200?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I have checked out the issue on my NS however the heating of the discs is normal due to the pad friction with the disc for stoppage. The holes on the disc should be competent enough to dissipate the heat.

I faced this issue once that my front disc got overheated due to a faulty pad due to which the front disc got jammed. But it happens slowly and only when the disc gets hot enough for the heat not to get dissipated.

Heating is fine but overheating WILL cause the disc to gradually jam up. As the heat dissipates the disc will loosen up but then you gotta have it checked ASAP by going to svc centre without any usage of the front brake.

As far as the squeaky sound goes, check for any dust which may have gotten trapped between the pad and disc causing this sound. It can be easily removed by giving the disc module a wash with a fine jet directed at the pads, strong enough to clean it but not strong enough to cause any damage.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

It depends on riders.... Same as what [MENTION=75452]GauravD[/MENTION] mentioned. But it differs on rider habits. My case, read disc gets pretty hot compared to front as i will be using rear(60%) mostly and front(80%) on emergency or when needed....

Nothing to worry about it

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Wow..... You have filled coolant more than a couple of times.... But coolant shall not disappear..... I only had to refill once(1st service) because it came low when it was delivered.... Post that till date no change in levels and I'm about 8k kms and bike is 15 months old

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hi Friends.. I am confused between Rs200 and R15 .. Please guide me which bike to buy?? and what is the exact mileage of RS200???

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

RS200 mileage can be expected from 30-36 kpl range on aggressive usage... Might give 38-40 for very sane ride...

R15 is light weight and less powerful, but handles better and had top quality.

If you need highway rides and comfortable cruiser, get rs..... Just a city ride with less of a pillion....and power requirements, go for r15.....

R15 v2 is now very old.....

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


RS200 is heavy machine, but powerful at the same time and mileage is around 36-38(cruising at 90-120 Kmph) and if you are lucky you can even achieve 40 in city.

R15s/R15 is a great machine but you get a lots of goodies with pulsar, R15 you can achieve above 40 mileage easily.

One word of advice, try to find about after sales service in your local area of both brands, try to find reviews of the service center.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Thats in starting days!!!
It takes time to settle down,
Now its fine it hasn't dropped 1ml from then

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

.

Thanx bro for ur reply...
But Are there any other options available in this range???

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

I am doubtful of one thing..RS200 is new in market and R15 is taking its stand since last 5-6 years..So What are the Rs200 reviews in market??? Is this a machine worth to buy??? Because like old Pulsars had lot of noises in the engines,chain problem as well after 1-2 years usage. What u say??

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Duke 200, Apache 200 FI ABS, cbr150. I'd pick apache 200 for abs if safety is my concern....

I'd pick r15 if i prefer styling, handling and a happy revving engine all day long.....

I'd pick RS for comfortable long rides with decent power to cruise at 100-110 easily....

CBR150 is very old...
Duke200 is something a mix of all.... Your budget determines it...

Also you can post this in what bike section to get more answers....

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

When I got the bike the coolant was near the "Min" mark. It's gone now since I live in a hot area and 90% of my riding is in the city (which seems to have a love affair with speed bumps). The fan used to turn on if I let the bike idle for even a minute in traffic.

I guess it evaporates somehow. I'll be topping it up soon with Motul Motocool.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hey guys.

Got my tail light replaced under warranty and also got an unscheduled oil change today.
16 days back i was told to wait for similar amount of days for the tail light to be in stock. called SVC yesterday and was told to call in another 8 days since new parts were exhausted. Pissed at this news i sent a strong mail to bajaj, 10 min later got a call from the SVC telling me to get my bike the next day. Apparently they would give me a new tail light from their fresh stock of bikes.

I also wanted to change my oil since the bike felt rough and already 2500 km had passed since the first service where they put motul 3100t instead of the DTSi oil.
Now i had contemplated to use other semi synthetic 20w50 oils since the only other 20w50 oil from motul was the 7100 and i dint want to go full synthetic yet. Motul 5100 was in 15w50 spec ,maybe ill use it at the next service but before that i would read the pros and cons of using different spec oil.
Since i had no time to go searching for other brand semi synthetic oils i decided to continue with motul 3100t.

Now on the way to the service center which is 23 km away , i knew exactly how my bike sounded, rode with the old oil. i used to get vibrations on the foot pegs at 4.5k rpm to 5k rpm and 6k rpm to 6.3k rpm.
As soon as the new oil was put, which was almost colorless with a golden tinge to it,and i started my bike, i could immediately hear the change in sound at idle. The rough sound was gone. More astonishing, while riding back home was that the foot peg vibrations at those certain rpms had reduced by 50%. though you could feel the vibes, it was very much subdued.

I dint feel much difference when i put the same motul 3100 at my first oil change at 500 km, but i guess after 2.5k km of engine run-in, the new oil made a whole lot of difference. I wonder how my bike would transform with full synthetic oil.

I must say that the service center,sitaraj bajaj ,navelim, Goa, which at that time was shifting its current premises to an adjacent building. Even after all the moving and commotion they did a quick and quality job. Though they need to be reminded and pushed to do other small jobs but overall they seem to be knowledgeable and open to customers demand.
