Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Yes. Tight on pocket get massater 140/70, else Michelin pilot street radial 150/60.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Why 150/60 section? I guess pilot street radial is available in stock size of RS200.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

There isn't much cost difference between 130 & 150.
And no difference in performance.. Better looks.. Better grip.
Cheers.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

140 section is ok but differences would be in performance, contact patch would be wider, there will be speedo error and sprockets would wear out soon.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

First of all thanks for previous replies.....
Secondly, So is Michelin 150/60 best rear tyre?
Nd what about front......
Thank-you
Regards....

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Lots of my friends are using 150/60 ..
They are realy happy with the perfoamce.
Better grip on straight line and at the corners.

It's always prescribed to use stock size tyres, you can upsize to 140 section but 150 section is not good at all.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

But actually 140/70 is heavier than 150/60

The tyre dia,
130/70 is 91
140/70 is 98
150/60 is 90
140/70 is 105
150/60, on our narrow rim compared to ktms mean it wil get more rounded.





Correct me if i have mentioned any thing wrong.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I am owner of Bajaj RS 200 2 months old i recently fixed hazard switch but i got problem when the bike is turned off the hazard used work but when i start the engine the hazard lights means the indicaters wasnt blinking even when i switched hazard switch on
so i visted mechanic and told him he changed stock bajaj Dc flasher and fixed other flasher dunno which i left my bike there and came after he fixed the problem
Now question is :

Will changing Flasher effect ECU? bike eletrical components? or any future problems? or any problem occurs like engine turning off automatically in middle of ride?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

As you go wider tyre will be heavier and as i said earlier contact patch would be wider. So initial acceleration would be reduced, no doubt grip would increase but that grip would exert pressure on chain sprockets.

A manufacture should have thought something before putting a particular size of tyres.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

As far as my knowledge goes it won't effect as the flashlights / indicators have a separate fuse for them.
If anything happens the fuse will blow away.
Just cross check that the mechanic has not directly taken supply from the battery.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Well, a wider tire will be heavier due to obvious reasons. The sizes you have mentioned above are sidewall heights and not necessarily the weights.
Any variation from the stock size would induce a slight error in the speed/tach readings. You're basically altering the gearing to by a minute extent by doing such changes.
You may notice an increase/decrease in the readouts depending if you've gone for a smaller/larger than stock spec tires.
The circumference changes, and so does tire rotation.
Let's take a slightly deviated example to study this.
Consider a car with 15" rims and an SUV with 22" rims. Both on stock sizes. Now while a car needs tires replaced every 50-60k km, an SUV doesn't need one till 75-80k km (just going by the number of km and not years). That's because the number of rotations (and hence wear) on SUV tires are less in 50k km as compared to the car.
Same goes for bikes with 18" wheels. A Pirelli might last 20k km on Enfields, but would last 15-16k km on a Mojo (just an example). But now if I plonk the Enfield spec tire on a Mojo, it would be heavier (more rubber mass) leading to extra load on the engine and directly on the transmission and sprockets.

Re: pulsar rs 200 speedometer problem

Hello Brother,

I suspect this is because of the temperature your bike might be kept in. This usually happens when the bike gets cold and temperature goes under 5 degrees. I have been riding this beast from last 11 months but never faced such a problem until I went for a ride in the mountains under sub zero temp conditions. The Temperature was -16 degrees and as soon as I turned on the ignition, nothing happened ; the speedometer , the rpm meter didnt respond. After seeing this, I remembered all the posts I have been through where people complained about the display not turning up. I thought for a moment and cold started the bike, the self worked the very first time the engine started. The displays came back to life after 2/3 seconds.

This never happened again after we left that region. The incident happened with me on 29th Jan'17.

I hope the post helps.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Rear tyre won't bring error in speedo error, and tyres, some sticky stock size tyres are more than enough, but my friends are using 150/60 for more than a year,no issues anywhere, the rear doesn't get locked that easy, you can realy feel better grip from the rear end.
Talking about upsizing, lots of Gixxer/fz users are using 140/70 and 150/60 no issues there too .

The rear section of RS is realy wide, and if you remove the tyre hugger, 130/70 looks skinny.
So if someone wishes to upsize, no issues.

Cheers.

See thing is you don't want to understand and please don't quote entire post.

And lastly if going by your logic please put a 180 section tyre for looks.

I guess manufacturers should stop doing any R&Ds for tyres and they should simply put a tyre which look good.
