And also i have doubt on running in my bike as ive recently come across a post on youtube saying its not necessary to go in slower speeds and riding in 50kmph in 6th gear actually strains and damages the engine really confused with the break in period :/

What really damages the engine is lugging. Try not to be lazy while on higher gears and downshift before lugging happens. I followed the Bajaj Owner's manual for running in during first 1000 kms and then increased the max RPM by 1k every 500 kms. Over 15k kms now and the engine is running perfect! Regarding posts on internet, I am a bit skeptic. I would rather trust the person who builds the bike than an unknown guy behind a screen

Hello Rachit,
Appreciate for your active participation in all post ....
Please look in the below issue I am facing..
Actually while crossing speedbraker with pillion, my bike always hit the speedbraker

..
I don know what possible thing I can do for this

..Is that really a problem because I can see some minor scratches on the hitted part
I can understand that the ground clearance of RS is not good for Indian roads..
It really hurts

when my bike get hit...Please help..

There are 3 Ways you can prevent this from happening:

1. Use the rear brake for braking while coming up to a speed breaker, downshift into 2nd gear (or 1st gear but it's a bit jerky). Slow down to 5-7 km/h, and very carefully modulate the clutch and throttle and cross over the bump. This takes lot's of practice. You need enough momentum so you can cross easily but not too much as the bike will scrape. (You can also go sideways if the bump is too tall)

2. Set the suspension to it's hardest mode. This will mean more back breaking pain for you but will hopefully reduce the underbelly scraping.

3. Remove the underbelly exhaust completely and get a custom Pipe made for the exhaust. This is a bit extreme and not possible for everyone.

I for one always follow the 1st point, I have become quite a master now. Even with 300 kilograms on board and on the most tall bumps, I can maneuver the bike without scraping the belly. As I've said sometime earlier I encounter 22 (x2) speed bumps on my daily commute, so this is second nature to me.

Thanks Nabin

Actually, it is normal for the bike to hit the speedbraker while riding with a pillion since the speed brakers are supposed to "brake" the speed. On a few speedbrakers, I scrap the underbelly even if I am riding solo. Only way to avoid this to "brake" your speed before hitting the speedbrakers.

Another thing while encountering speedbrakers is that all you braking must be done before you hit the speedbraker, not while on it. When you apply brakes, your front shockers are compressed and therefore GC decreases. Hence the suggestion.

I would avoid point 2 since I prefer to keep suspension setting suitable for comfort/ride mode.

Point 3 is not possible for a lazy ass like me

Validating your point 1, it is not very difficult to maneuver speedbrakers with a little practice. My daily commute also has infinite speedbrakers and rising over them has become a second nature to me.

PS: Mumbai folks would know how painful this road is: Andheri Kurla road. Some speedbrakers are so high, they should be classified as hills

Very true. I said it needs practice because I've seen many RS owners stalling the bike halfway through the bump.

It's not difficult, but it ain't easy either!

Cheers.

if u dont mind, can you please tell me how you managed to mount the holder onto the 'clip ons'? I did see the product on amazon but not able to find the mounting procedure on the product page. Do share some pics if possible. Cheers

Ride safe!

Actually, the mod was different of what I had ordered. I did not receive the Ball/grip combo. Instead I got a different kind of holder. The same thing happened to my friend who happened to have a gixxer and wanted to try this mod. I gave him the same link, and he got the same product which I got. You can go ahead and order that, but still you will get nothing of what was shown, but better if you ask me. Its simply not advertised properly. S

o the model you'll get is the first pic I attached, with a claw like holder for the bicycle handle bar. I simply removed the "Claw" part and fixed the rest to the middle of the handlebar.

Will post pics once I'm home.

Regards,

Ash

I was actually driving at 10 km/hr or even bit less...Still damm speedbraker

smoothly kissed my RS underbelly

..

Apart from this,, I've done with first service and clocked 1400 km as well. Touched 105 km/hr on straight highway

I want to unleash my RS...please suggest some pick up point...
like how much RPM and speed I need to maintain..

Oh...i see. Thanks for the heads up

...do send some pic of how you managed to mount it on the handlebar so that i can order one for myself. Whenever you get the time.Really appreciate it.
Ride safe!

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hi guys,

I want to know the reason behind the dual character of the bike's engine. Sometimes the engine runs very smoothly and in a very refined manner but sometimes it feels very rough and hard. What could be the reason?

Is it due to the Bajaj oil?

ODO reading is 3300 km.

Yes it is definitely due to that shitty Bajaj Oil!

I've changed to Motul 7100 20W50 and have clocked more than a thousand kilometers with this oil alone. The performance is same regardless of time/temperature etc. Also, the bike doesn't heat up like before in traffic, runs a lot cooler!

I suggest you to try Motul 5100 20W40 and you will notice the difference yourself. It's a semi synthetic oil and will perform much much better than the stock Mineral Oil (Bajaj DTS-i Oil).

Cheers!

Hey Guys,

This is karthi from chennai and I'm new to xbhp.

I want to know how to drain and replace coolant in Pulsar RS 200 and which coolant is best.

Can someone help me with the steps or some video or pics please.

Google is your friend.

Pretty much the same procedure for RS 200, but you will have to remove the bottom and top right fairings to get to the coolant reservoir.

Cheers!

Both the service centers are pretty crappy. But the one at Hampankatta is the slightly less crappier one. :P It's a consolidated service center for Bajaj, KTM and Kawasaki.
