Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Yes exhaust needs to be modified, but we're talking about significant amounts of air here, say a turbo boost or a supercharger boost when sucks in more air, when it comes to air filters alone that shouldn't be a problem. But what we fail to understand is we lean the mixture leading to more heat, and reduced engine life. AF aren't bad, but it must be tuned accordingly, especially for the slightly higher air intake induced by the FFAF.

Removing the fairing, won't affect the ABS, but make sure, the wire connections, sensors if any that are connected to the front brake system are duly checked and plugged in to the right sockets just in case, if they need to be removed when the fairing is removed. It usually isn't a problem, but this being a single channel, front brake only, there are chances if can be mishandled, so due diligence would be my advice.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Congrats brother for your red bumblebee.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

You see the increase in mileage was because the AFR mixture was lean, happens with free flow filters.
Running a lean AFR is never recommended to keep the bike in good health.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience



Only RS 200 is fitting in my budget. I don't Duke due to its seating and sound. I am going for RS for FI and ABS. NS or AS doesn't have ABS and FI. But I like Naked bikes, not faired ones. That's why I am planning to modify. I am ok with little less speed, but cannot compromise on safety and bike reliability. I am not a speed junkie.

Rachit, is it worst traffic(bumper to bumper)? I thought the mileage is somewhere around 34-35 km in city

Is everyone getting similar mileage?

[MENTION=77482]Anantha[/MENTION] sorry to tell you again but modifying a bike out of it's natural shape is equal to messing it up. You see when a bike is designed and manufactured every frame and every bolt is calibrated such that the final product is perfect. RS200 is manufactured such that it's heavy and so it's Centre of Gravity is on the front side, but when you remove the fairing of this bike and making it naked!!! That weight on the front will be messed up fully. How? Because of the Centre of Gravity is on the front and with no weight there when you use front brake the bike will topple easily. This way even ABS can't save you in Panic situations.

I suggest you go for Apache ABS. It's awesome in the sense of power delivery, safety, comfort, mileage and IT'S NAKED.

RIPPING APART RS seems like RIPPING APART MY HEART...

(Sorry it's just a suggestion)

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Anantha, this was in very bad traffic (Mulund to Sakinaka through LBS, if you are familiar with Mumbai ). I cover 12 km in ~ 45 min. So, in normal traffic + some highway you expect anything between 34-38 kmpl.

I appreciate your concern for safety but let me tell you that RS200 has only single channel ABS. So, it monitors both wheels aginst skid but modulates only the front wheel braking. So, only front wheel is saved against skidding, not the rear wheel.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Rachit can you please tell me what is best fuel for Pulsar RS 200 because guy at petrol pump said to use octane oil but I didn't listen him and fill up my RS 200 with normal petrol.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

[QUOTE=bhargavkundem;1160240]

Thanks for the suggestions. But even if I remove front fairing, I will be putting a headlamp. So effectively there will 1-2kg of front weight will be reduced. Is it still a concern?
I can understand the feeling. Even I am owning Pulsar 135LS. I don't want sell it as I am attached to it. That's why I have given it to my Brother in law, so that I can ride it whenever I want.
That's why I want to modify RS before getting attached to it. It will be difficult later. Thanks for your concern.
Now I am thinking of not modifying it.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

[QUOTE=Anantha;1160318]Hi anantha. Removing fairing is not an issue. The real issue would be to fix all the wiring and circuits into the naked frame. Headlights can be fitted externally but remember that this bike is ecu controlled which requires stock wiring reliability to function properly. Plus, i heard rs200 has raised handle bars which means it will require mods to look in sync with naked look. The petrol tank will also require mods since the fairing is fitted to it. But the trick here is that mostly, the stock tank houses the fuel pump which means it can't be changed and modifying stock tank means safety is compromised. I'd suggest you to try the bike in stock for a few days and see if it grows onto you. Else get the necessary mods done. Messing with a stock bike will void warranty too.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I use sada petrol for my RS. I think for a 200cc bike octane oil might not make a lot of difference. I tried this some time back in my Karizma but did not feel any considerable difference, so switched back to normal petrol.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

All desi bikes run efficiently on 91RON and going overboard (even with Shell Premium) is pure waste of money.
For those who fill at Shell only to be sure that they're not being duped on quality and quantity can search for reputed COCO pumps in their neighborhood.

Hi Folks, Been following this thread for weeks and finally, my first post. Booked my Pulsar RS 200 Yellow, ABS on June 27. Hoping to get it in a month, here in Chennai. Waiting.
