The symptoms for this issue is overheating and fan not switching off, 3 days back i topped up the coolant as i was facing this fan issue and this was the ultimate outcome.
    Since this seems to be a common problem, would you recommend getting this O-ring replaced at 10K?

      Well if you're enthusiastic enough and wish for a hassle free ownership , but mind you bajaj svc are cunning, if your bike is out of warranty and it's other than the o ring mind you they charge 4k, and at the end of the day it's a part with a shell life, so replacing or having an eye on it would be recommended

        Thanks for the info buddy. I'll try to convince them to do it since mine is still under warranty. Cheers!

            Where exactly is this o ring located?

            Is the clutch cover also needed to removed in order to replace it?

            Hope you got it done by the more professional guys. Cheers.

                Hey guys, i need some advice.
                After my first service, the chain has been buzzing a lot. It went away for a time and now it is louder than ever. The mechanics says its normal (At service center and local shops). The noise is getting into my head now. If i speed up a little and put my bike in neutral. The buzzing is as loud as the engine revving at 3-4k. Any suggestions what it could be? My chain slack adjustment is at 26.

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



                  Hello Pal,

                  So after using Motul300V 10W40, did you notice any change in mileage and performance.
                  What is the draining period of Motul300V 10W40?
                  Please suggest because I am approaching my RS second service.
                  Thanks
                  Do take note that the Motul 300V was designed to be a "racing oil". If you looked carefully at the bottle, it's not even JASO or API rated. While it IS, no doubt, an excellent oil, the oil change interval would be shorter than what you're normally used to with other synthetics.

                  I've tried both Motul's 300v and the 7100 synthetics on my 200NS and have journaled about the reason why I'm sticking to the 7100 over the 300v here:

                  Ok, I’ve travelled for quite a bit with this oil now, and feel sufficiently confident to offer an opinion. It’s been some 300km’s or so since I fed the Pulsar 200NS with this cher…

                    The chain will never be completely quite while riding. It'll keep making a noise and while riding in the city near walls the sound can be quite irritating.

                    Don't worry the sound is normal. Take care of your chain (clean and lube every 500 km) and it should last you a while before giving up.

                    Cheers!

                        Very slight buzzing noise on a chain is completely normal, and is common on all motorcycles. But if you observe excessive buzzing noise like a chain saw sound, your chain is either too tight or your rear wheel is misaligned w.r.t to the swingarm which causes excessive friction. And it could be ultimately as lack of complete lubrication where the chain links have hardened and not rotating freely which causes friction and that buzzing sound.

                        Check your chain wear indicator. If you have more than 80% life left, relube and readjust the chain. If it's more than 75% replace the chain.

                        Cheers!

                        Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                        The girl said, 'NO!'


                        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                          I'm still on my first full of the 7100 and haven't been riding much lately. I'll likely follow the manual's recommendation of around 5,000km OCI.

                            Thanks for the reply. It is not a feeble buzz though. Loud enough to hear while riding normally. I noticed something though. I hear it getting loud when i release the throttle and bike is under load. After a lot of visits, the best i came to know is that the pressure wash may have removed the grease from the 'o rings' and it will get better with time. If you think it is anything else, then let me know.
                            And also,
                            The bike and the chain is new so there is no wear for now.
                            The chain is well lubed.
                            And i loosened the chain a little, just in case. Afterall a slightly loose chain is better than a tight one.

                              Never give your bike to the SVC guys for pressure wash untill and unless you are unable to wash the bike on your own because they never take care of the high pressure of the water going inside the electrical parts, chain and radiator fins. Also, the salinty of the water can result in loss of shine of your bike's paint.

                              Now coming to the sound from the chain, I suggest you to use motul or oks chain lube and lube your chain well (at every 500 km). When your chain gets dirty over time or say after 500 km, use motul's chain cleaner to clean the chain and wipe all the dirt using a lint free piece of cloth. Then lube it properly.

                              Avoid the use of water to clean the chain as it can cause the chain links to rust.

                              The sound will reduce drastically. 👍

                                The guys at the SVC at smaller branches or towns are not really experienced in handling bigger bikes. I lubed the chain well and i am guessing the sound will fade away? The main problem is occuring when decelerating or coasting in neutral.
