    fuel capacity of each bar in gauge of RS200

    Hi XBHPians,

    May I know the how much fuel one fuel bar holds in Bajaj Pulsar RS200 ?
    As per my observation, almost 1.6 liters/ bar based on simple calculation divide 13.5 liters(tank capacity) by 8(fuel bars).

    But some of riders are saying that fuel capacity of each bar depends on fuel level... means when it's a full tank then top bars will hold more fuel than the lower bars.(as per their observation, no calculation)

    One more response I got, that reserved fuel isn't showed on fuel gauge so only for 10 liters 8 bars are given.

    So totally confused... which one to believe ?

    Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

    Hey guys, recently I did jodhpur jaisalmer bikaner trip on my RS and while returning from bikaner to delhi, My bike went into a pothole at around 70km/h and both the rims got bent. I got them restructured (not from the svc) just to reach home safely that day, the bike feels fine to ride except I noticed that the pillion seat and the overall bike feels a little lower. Is it something with the nitrox monoshocker? Or anything else?
    Maybe it's just me that feels like it, I have compared it with some old pictures and can't make out the difference.
    Anybody has got any leads what it could be? I am pretty sure that the SVC guys around my home will surely knock it off saying that it is perfectly fine.

    The ride feels fine, no vibrations, no abrupt bumps ,maybe wheels needs some balancing.

The local mechanics can check this by looking at the flow from the petrol pipe. This is just for diagnostic purpose. The stoppage can also be caused by kachra in the FI system and that can be resolved only at the SS.
    Update: went to the service centre and told them about the problems. The thing is no matter how hard I try to make them understand the stalling issue, even if they do understand they take a test ride. This issue never comes up then. Like I've mentioned, it's not that it happens all the time but it just happens all of a sudden, which to be honest is frightening because I don't know when my bike is gonna stall. So he took a test ride and later on sat behind me while I took him around and the problem never occurred. What he finally said was 'sir, how do I solve a problem which I can't understand or I can't experience'. The guy though was very considerate and kept my RS there for a few hours in which he stripped it open and did a few checks. After they were done, the main mechanic told me that it was mostly the clutch switch which, he has repositioned and that if I ever face the same problem again I should come to him so that he can check again. It's going to be trial and error before they can actually figure out what the problem is. So I took it out for a ride today after work for a short 50 km trip to some nearby waterfalls and the bike NEVER STALLED.
    Also, regarding the bike not reacting to the starter in gear, it worked just fine the next morning. Yes, I tried to start it in the first gear and the engine just came to life as if there was never any problem. Just to be sure that there is no water in the fuel tank or in the FI, I went to nearby local mechanic asked him to take a look once. Fortunately the response was positive. So my 'stallion' is back to it's normal best. Hopefully I won't face anymore issues for sometime. Thank you all for your valuable feedback and suggestions. It's good to have so many people out there ready to help.

    Hi Folks,

    My rs200 front wheel rim got bent and air pressure is going out from the tyre. May be i would have hit the pothholes and whether you guys faced any situation like this ever before? Now i repaired and straightened the bent using gas welding. Whether now the rim will be as strong as original one and how will be the strength after welding?

    Thanks

    So it's been raining in continously Mysore for the past 3 days and because I don't have a proper parking facility I park my vehicle outside my home. In between​ I would go somewhere and ride it for a kilometre or two max. I cover my bike witha normal bike cover which is slightly torn from a few places.
    I had gone to Bangalore and came back on Sunday on the bike. Everything was fine that time. It's been raining, drizzling ever since.
    Today I took it for a slightly longer ride to work and didn't notice any difference while riding. Maybe because I was late and was riding fast. Anyhow my office parking is completely covered and there's no chance of anything happening to my bike inside the premises. (Rounding security and I've been parking here for a year without any issues ever). After work I noticed that my bike was not starting in any gear position except for neutral. The battery was fine since all lights, horn etc are working fine. The sound when you switch on the bike is coming but the bike is just not starting. Not even trying to start. What might be the problem? Is it the spark plug? Also the stalling issue I mentioned in the previous post has increased so much that whenever I'm braking for more than 4-5 seconds the bike is stalling as soon as I engage the cluth. Please help me out. I take care of my bike and any issues with my bike (major-minor) freak me out.
    I guess there's water clogged in near battery or might be loose connection. It could be possible that water might have seeped in and causing the battery not to operate sometimes. And the stalling issue, I think Rachit can give a better idea. I never faced such an issue but I think that is something related to clutch only.

    I myself did a 1300 km round trip last weekend!
    Finally Got IRC Road Winner RX01 R! 140/70 17! These are bias play tyres!
    I have just covered a little over 100 kms so can't exactly tell the experience but the ride has become bumpier than before, maybe because the stock tyre has almost been used up and had become soft in 19k kms.

    Will be giving full. Review once I come back from my next big ride. [emoji3]

    Hi! Everyone, I am from Kolkata,

    Need advice, completed 10k km 2 days back. what are the things that I need to change? earlier all my free service I had used engine oil provided by SVC guys.

    1. after 65-70 km/h, it is like I am forcing her hard to speed up more to reach 90 or 100 km/h. I have visited SVC(Rolta Bajaj, Kolkata) today described him about this pick up issue, guy said it might need to change the clutch plate. Does it have any link with the engine oil? Should I move to Motul 7100 4T(one of my friend Suggested).
    The bike reaches 100 effortlessly. You can cruise at 100-110 full day on this. If it is losing steam after 65-70 kmph ,there is something wrong and a faulty clutch plate is the first suspect. To check if the clutch plate is faulty, there was an excellent method suggested a while back by @The Monk. Here is the method:
    1. Start your bike and let it idle for 2 min
    2. Pull the clutch and the brakes.
    3. Put the bike in third gear and very slowly release the clutch without giving any throttle.


    If the clutch plates are faulty, you will see fluctuations in the RPM. If the clutch plate is ok, the bike will stall.


    Regarding the engine oil, I use Motul 5100. Personally I think that 7100 is an overkill if you are not taking your bike out on track regularly. But this is a personal feeling and others can disagree. I found 5100 to be perfect blend of performance vs cost.

    2. Do I need to Change the filter? How do I make my bike satisfy so that she can reach 100 km/h smoothly. I do not have much knowledge about the spare parts & Their functions. please guide me with a link where I can gain my basic knowledge about it, if you know any threads pls share the link.
    Are you talking about oil filter? You need to change the oil filter every time you replace (not topup) the engine oil. Recommended interval for air filter is in the owner's manual. Sorry, don't remember it currently.

    3. Query: if I want to change my 55W low beam with higher 65W ,is it possible? what will be its substitute to get more light? what are the disadvantages if I change.
    Please refer to earlier posts in this thread for the exact requirements.

    4. last Query: If I ride my bike with both head lights on, fuel consumption will be much more higher than regular. I heard from few people.
    Theoretically, Yes. Practically, no chance!

    overall am happy with her performance(first bike will be always close to your heart).

    anyone here from Kolkata, please share trustable mechanic shop address.

    Thanks

    *** pardon for my english.

    Don't know about any other queries of yours but switching to motul definitely enhanced my bikes performance. The engine is smoother and I feel that the vibrations have also reduced a bit (personal opinion). I shifted to Motul at 8.5k kilometres and the last 2-2.5k kilometres have been amazing. The difference made by the engine is easily noticeable. It's slightly more expensive than other oils in the market but trust me it is worth the extra money.

    If there is water in your tank, you need to get it cleaned out asap. Water for too long will cause rust in the tank. If that happens then you are jacked and will need to replace the tank. A costly affair.
