  • Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

    Anyone find out why there is a thud from the front wheel when you go above 30kmph over a hump? What are the chances it's the ECU connector hitting the front fender because for me, it's just hanging there right under the headlight assembly.

    Also, how feasible do you think this mobile holder will be for our bike? It attaches to the mirror screw. Or, let me know if you have come across better phone mounts.

      I experienced the same, as I had booked a Yellow Non-ABS on 26th May and the showroom manager called me up two weeks ago to say that I could get the Red one earlier. I had politely declined at that time, as I was in love with the Yellow RS only!

      After a few days, the manager called me up and said that the price had gone up for the bike and now I'll have to pay 1.35 Lakhs instead of 1.33. I politelty argued and said that how can you do this? I threatened to contact Bajaj directly. But the manager politely said : "Sir, kya karein ab wahin se price badhaya hai. Then I gave up the argument because I had heard somewhere that the cost of bike will be calculated according to the prices applicable on the day of delivery.

      But then I heard that no one got the RS200 non-ABS in less than 1.35 lakhs, and then I realized that perhaps that the manager would have made a mistake by quoting me a low price and hence lowering his commissions. So not really a loss, but still....do hazaar ka petrol do mahine chalta mera

      In return of those extra 2k rupees, I call him everyday to inquire about my bike's delivery and the bichara has to answer the same to me everyday. I called him up today again and he told me that I will get my bike by the end of this week or pakka before the month end. Let's see. Waiting eagerly for it to adorn the place in my garage! Can't stop looking at the pics and videos of the beast

      The gear issue will resolve after the servicing, and after the run-in period (2k KMs), it will become very smooth, so no reasons to worry there.

      The only thing I'm wondering about is the thud noise on speed breakers. A lot of RS200 owners on this forum have reported the same problem. A manufacturing defect? No idea. Try going at 15KPH or 10KPH on the speed breakers and then see whether the sounds are there still.
      I got my pulsar rs 200 yellow color non abs on 8 june for 132000 so how does price is increasing ?

        Don't know what's going on man! Are they creating an artificial scarcity to bump up the sales? Possible. Just read in the news 2 days ago that they're bumping up the production. All this seems to be a marketing strategy that's all!

          here is a much better mobile holder as its cheaper and available in India via debitcard/cash on delivery(no need of credit card)(you can use netsafe)
          Clip Mounted Mobile Holder Cover FOR Bike Handle | eBay
          Waterproof Mobile Holder Cover FOR Bike Handle | eBay
          i have ordered 1 for 500 rs of ebay which fits to the mirror stand and then i found the above links (lets see and hope that it fits properly otherwise 500 rupees down the drain.
          My suggestion will be to go for the waterproof 1 its roughly 900-1k but its will do the job.I had bought waterproof googles ,which are UV resistant and dust proof so i can use the bike without random stuff going in my eye. i bought them for 700 rupees of the chinese website DHgate and i found some dealer in mumbai and the ebay guys selling the same google for 2.5k rupees . The indian dealers charge any price if they feel you cannot get the item locally or from any1 else which in this case was true as i had to buy it from the chinese people.So when you decide to buy this stand for 1k rupees from ebay remember you may also be getting it for something like 300-400 rupees but you will really have to search for it.

            How much does that tank pad cost? Is it available as a spare part?

              I dont think Tank Pad of RS200 is available in the market as a spare part... It might take some time someone replicate it and release it into the market

              But you can find variety of tank pads online or in automobile stores... On bright colours they look really cool and serve the purpose...

              I don't think Bajaj is the only one doing it... This even happened with KTM/CBR as well... You can see in another six months the cost going up by 15K easily...

              But one advice is before paying that amount to the Dealer, call Bajaj Auto and confirm the price quoted by the dealer. Because many times it's the dealer who is increasing his own margin by 3k upon the margin given the Bajaj because of high demand.

              Thanks for the info [MENTION=77101]Dragonprince[/MENTION]. Yes it's that search cost that makes us buy goods at higher prices many times.

              This info makes us realise there are nice accessories available for the bikes which can make our lives easy and ride safe...

                    Watching YouTube a lot lately, Because of no work at office and started getting this annoying add of pulsar 200 rs.

                    Well finally gave up and saw the advert and it was about difference between abs and non abs, Kudos to Bajaj to take time and shoot something useful for customers to decide rather then putting a useless star who never will ever buy the motorcycle or personally use it.

                    If anyone interested in 200 rs and unable to decide abs or not, watch the video.

                    • Finalized Pulsar RS200. Is it good?

                      Hi guys,

                      After lots of confusion I have decided to go for Pulsar RS200. I have budget of 1.5L and want bike for daily commuting and some touring.

                      My requirements are mileage and comfort. Don't wanna go with RE as personally I don't like them.

                      Let me know if I can consider any other bike.

                      Thanks!!

                        [MENTION=78260]kaizen88[/MENTION], RS200 is one of the best in the business right now...

                        But other options which are equally good for ur preferences are KTM Duke 200 (best) , Pulsar AS200...

                        If you are fan of fully faired motorcycles, you might also consider Yamaha R15 V2.0 and Suzuki Gixxer SF

                          Hey Kaizen,

                          RS200 would be perfect for touring and daily usage.
                          Would suggest to go for the ABS version.
                          If you compare the smoothness to Honda & Yamaha then you'll be disappointed.
                          Having said that it has manageable vibes.

                          All depends on your choice of bike style. Faired tourer? Or naked ? Or cruiser? Sports ?

                              How safe are full faced offroad/motocross helmets (like below) when compared to regular full faced helmets?

                              http://www.vegaauto.com/Helmets/Off-Road-Helmet/VEGA-OFF-ROAD-RANGER-BLACK-BASE-WITH-GOLD-GRAPHIC-HELMET


                              I am looking for a stylishly designed helmet along with safety; Regular helmets looked a bit boring in terms of shape/design or too flashy in terms of graphics.

                              And what about comfort when both are compared?
