Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


Hi Divtail,

Is this your first bike or did you upgrade from some other bike?
I have done around 5k kms on my RS. The break-in period was a drooling period. I always wanted to rev it and unleash the potential of the machine.
In the break-in period, the bike might feel a little sluggish because of the new engine and piston. Give her a little time, keep the throttle under control for the first 1500kms. You might also want to change the engine oil too for better performance. My recommendation would be Motul7100. It enhances your bike to a great extent and you'll feel it yourself when you are on your bike.
The engine moves smoothly after your break-in so you can expect it to reach speeds of 140kmph with ease.
Good luck and Welcome to the family.
Cheers.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Thanks for such quick reply!

And Yes, it's my first bike but I have ridden 100-125 cc bikes before.

Actually there was some problem with the ABS in the new bike( the ABS light was always on) which their service center sorted out eventually by opening the bike and all and they said it was some minor earthing problem but I still have my doubts.

That's what I am worried about, what if there is some problem in the engine as well which I can't know now. And the way it delivers, it only alleviates my concern. It's not smooth at all.
The radiator fan keeps starting in small distances. I just hope it's just the way this Bike behaves in the early K's and will start feeling like a Sports Bike after the 2nd Service.

One more question, there was some coolant leaking after the first service and the service center manager said there was nothing wrong with the bike, just that coolant was filled too much and advised me to keep the engine running for 2-3 minutes once you reach your destination for the coolant to work correctly, is that true?

I couldn't find anything like this on the internet that you got to keep the engine running for the bike to cool off.

Would you happen to know anything about it?

If you have some doubts, you can try to reach speed of upto 100 once or twice and note the RPM in 6th gear. It must be around 7.5k. Don't try it too often though.
In bumper to bumper traffic or city traffic, the radiator fan kicks in more often because of frequent use of clutch and brakes.
Where was the coolant leakage exactly? Under the coolant reservoir? I don't think you need to keep the engine running for coolant to work correctly. The fan kicks in at a certain temperature, 95C if I am not wrong. If you switch off your bike, it is gonna get cool anyways! So you need not keep your engine running.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Then it seems I will have to take it to the service center again as to why the coolant is leaking.

Thanks for the Help!

Greatly appreciate it....

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hello Guys,
Though I registered long time ago but was not able to post anything here. So, here we go I had clocked almost 12.7k kms on My RS200 BS-III, bike is almost vibes free from engine side but fibre you know :P. But guys actually I'm facing ABS issue complained 3 times in SVC they told me the clear the sensor and checked the same the problem is appearing again and again, they changed me they will change abs wiring harness, but also telling whether it will solve the problem or not it's unconfirmed. Actually the issue going on is, initially in the startup ABS lights shuts off but after riding few kms and mostly using rear brakes the ABS light turns on then it hangs on the same, and then when I restart the bike it turns off, again sometimes after riding and braking at certain times it turns on. I'm just fed up . Kindly help me guys.

Re: Stalling problem in pulsar RS200

Try getting the injectors cleaned. The injectors can be clogged due to spurious fuel. Try to get fuel only from trusted petrol pumps. Also, check for any carbon deposits on the spark plug.

What is the RPM level at idling? When does the bike stop (1) the moment you stop and release the throttle or (2) after try to move the bike on first gear after stopping for a while?

Hi Rachit,

Thats a lot of Km's Man !

I just completed 18k Kms on the ODO and it now feels like I need to get the Chain and Sprocket Replaced. Hopefully, by the end of this week, I'll get it replaced.

I had a small doubt, how quickly you got it replaced when you heard the first weird sound from the chain ?

Hello Everyone,

I have been off for few days. Went through all the messages , feels good to be back.

I am looking for a tire change, could you all please provide your inputs ? I'm looking for something that can handle a little bit of off-roading as well.

I'm so confused between a bias-ply / radial and Adv tyres ! Though ADV tyres doesn't go with kind of Bike our RS is, but still I'd like to give it a try.

Any inputs/suggestions would be really helpful.

P.S. I'm not the guy that usually love the corners.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Finally... Sold the bike.

It was just a shitty experience after a year. I Had completed 26k km in 1.5 years and had invested a lot of money in maintaining the bike. Got tired and sold it on olx within a day for 74k. Didn't feel such relief in last 2 years.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Actually, I did not hear any weird sound from the chain. As the kms were clocked, the chain got loose. I used to get it adjusted periodically. When the chain adjustment groove was at its highest position and there was looseness in the chain, I knew it was time to get it replaced. I checked the sprockets and their teeth were blunted as well.

The SS person told me that 24k KM was a very good mileage for chain + sprockets. Maybe because I regularly oil the chain every 2 weeks and clean it every 1500 kms.

There is distinctive sound of "keech keech" when the chain is dry, especially during rains. Is that the sound you are talking about?

Can you please elaborate on the bad experience you had with the bike? And if possible the measures taken to rectify them?

It would be helpful for both the owners (if facing similar issues) and prospective buyers. Thanks.

Obviously, that is a great Mileage. I'm sure you take care of your Bike very well. Even I'm very disciplined, when it comes to take care of chain.

I have clocked 18k Km's and have started to get that sound. The sprockets are a little worn out, I'll check with the SC guy if we can get rid of that sound by tightening the chain and if the sprockets can be further used.

And you mentioned you clean your chain in about 1500 kms; isnt that a little on the high side? I prefer cleaning and lubing at 500 kms, am I doing it very frequently?
