Thanks for the suggestion

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I use Motul chain lube C2 for lubricating and kerosene for cleaning.

The gear shift goes smoother with time (or probably I got used to it ) Now it gets stuck only a couple of times every ride

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

This looks bad. Must have been a fall above 40-50kmph. Hope the rider is doing fine/recovering well. Would appreciate the details of how this happened. A couple of things i notice - Its an ABS bike, Tail section looks weak, tyre rim is bent. It concerns me now and makes me more curious to understand the cause of accident. A hit from back and fall on right side is my probable theory.

Anybody who completed their run-in, have u tried taking the bike on long rides? How does it perform? I have recieved one input that RS comfortabely reaches 120kmph but how long does it hold there without engine under stress?

Second on ghat sections, the speed usually is 20-30kmph, how does the engine respond to such low speeds and constant gear changing between 1-2-3. Being a heavy bike and short gearing, as i understand, this is the combination we may have on ghat section.

Friends please provide your inputs.

Good news for people who are looking to book or purchase Bajaj RS 200. Bajaj might soon introduce Pulsar RS 200 ABS in Black color with Gold vinyls.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hi.. Got my RS 6 days back. On the 3rd day i noticed coolant like liquid dripping below the engine. Unable to locate from where it is leaking. This happened once i stop the bike after short drive. It was like that for two days. then it stopped. Took the bike to service center and they said coolant level is good. But i am sure that it was not water or petrol. Anyone faced this problem. Please help.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Did Anyone faced any kind of Fuel Injection problem.. Like Missing, Flat spot, misfire, jerking , rpm fluctuations.. Etc

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Looks more like the bikewas hit at rear and fell right. Must have been a high speed impact for alloy wheel to bend that way. Hope the roder is Ok.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

We just celebrated KTM Ajmer's 1 year completion. On the occasion, I had some good quality time with the Pulsar RS200... My observations are below:-

The yellow monster looks giant like any full faired bike initially. Twist the key and a fancy meter check happens. A mild thumb and the yellow monster fires up smoothly. The exhaust note is a smooth one, unlike anything you'd expect from Bajaj. I set off on the ride through some of the city's hardest routes: under-train-tunnel, through bad roads, a little off the road, and then an outer open road, the kinds which are my favorite.

The NVH levels are good. The engine is smooth, albeit not as much as a CBR 250, but still smooth enough for almost all of the range. I, a Duke 390 owner, was very happy with it. Another thing to be happy was, no heat at my feet. Or atleast, not much noticeable heat, if any at all.

It is worth noting that the owner of the bike is not doing any running in. He took it to 130 and back even when the 500 kms were not complete... The bike is still so smooth, that its worth relying on! Gearbox is smooth, and I couldn't even notice even one false shift or mis-shift. Its amazing for a Bajaj. I mean, did they buy this gearbox from Kawasaki?? Clutch lever action is harder than a CBR 250, but its ok.

Build quality is much better than previous Bajaj I've ridden. You won't notice creaks and unnecessary gaps/ mis-moulds immediately even from close up, although the frame itself has visible welds, probably its robot welding technique borrowed from KTM, I'm guessing, but will have to confirm this.

The riding position is very much on the sporty side, almost like the RC 200, or maybe the clipons were a bit higher, but definitely sporty bike. The brakes are sharp, although there was no ABS on my bike.
The suspensions seemed a bit on the harder side, but very manageable even on bad roads. It suggests this bike's sporty nature. The chassis has good rigidity, but not as much as the Dukes or RCs or YZF R15, but you won't mind it. Its a good handler, that's also reasonably agile in traffic. It keeps its ever predictable riding line and I could feel the road well while cornering. Sadly, couldn't corner much on the short ride...

The grip of the stock tyres is sadly, not that great. It means, if you're riding the non ABS version, you're likely to brake (!) suddenly and end up screeching the front tyre, startling some people around you too... or maybe crash with it. Tyres can be replaced, so no big deal.
The console is a beautiful blue colored one with all essentials like tacho, speedo, fuel, etc, etc.. Its bigger than Duke's console, yet smaller than the Pulsars of years ago.

In yellow color, it grabs a lot of attention, and the front pilot 3-LEDs look amazingly fresh for this age. The Pulsar logo is a smaller one, but it looks great on the fuel tank. The rear brake lights are located in the mudguard towards upside, and its more effectively visible from a height, like from inside a truck.

You can do a 35 kmph in the 6th gear at around 2500 rpm. That is, yes, with a pillion. Overall, Low end torque is so-so, not that strong. Mid range & above that, is fun though.
So, its city ride-ability is good, as long as you're finding your path and moving anyhow. Rear view mirrors are practical too, although a bit too far to adjust while riding, obviously because its a full faired bike.
I, a 6 foot guy, could see the traffic behind me easily in them.
Headlights are the same single for dipper and double for main lights, as we see in a lot of bikes nowadays. Its sadly, only going to provoke bikers to keep headlights on main light all the time.
On a drag race level, it beats the entire 200 crowd (except the RC200) mainly because of good top end power and helpful aerodynamics... Yes, even Duke 200 bites the dust in the end, unless you're in an vacuum tunnel.

Overall, I'm happy in the way Bajaj is proceeding. Many people fail to see a point with so many versions, but forget Bajaj's own product range and compare this bike with the rest of the competition, including Karizma ZMR, CBR 150/250, RTR 180, Yamaha R15, etc and you will see what I talk about.
At a cost point below RC200, with almost the same great setup, it keeps its place in the market for now.

Gone are the days when you would deduct points from Bajaj for vibrations, handling, etc. Today, these attributes will win the battle for Bajaj! And its hard to believe that I tried finding points that it was made by Bajaj, but no.... Bajaj are improving every time I check out their bikes. I stand impressed.
Its a kind of bike you would check again and ask, did Bajaj make it? For real? Test ride one if you don't believe me.


My final scores are:-
Handling: 8.5/10
Stock Tyres: 6.5/10
Looks: 9.5/10
NVH/ Smoothness: 8/10
Engine (Low end torque): 7/10
Engine (Mid range/ Top end): 9.5/10 (for its cc)
Lightning/ Console setup: 9/10
Overall: 8.5/10.

NOTE: I also test rode a CBR 250 on the same day. Obviously, CBR has slightly more torque across the range and that shows easily in a short stint too.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


New mrf's are too better than previous eurogruip..
You can upgrade to MRF Revz(radial)which current R15 v2
Has...
But for mini tourer like rs200 i think you shoud stick to Non radial.

Regarding taillamp +1000👍 you cant properly see rc200/390 tail lamp from bus/lorry!!!

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

I'm curious to see if anyone has done any mods yet. I really want to get some adjustable levers, as the stock ones are too far away for my small hands to grip comfortably.

Anyone have any suggestions? would the levers made for the 200 NS fit on the RS?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience


Care to explain more on this ?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Yes, and the bike could have been thrown off road. Well the clip-on broken into two says the impact, it's made of steel for your information. Oh god..!!! Wonder how well the rider is at this time. That's why the riding gears, atleast a half set is a must while bikes getting bigger, so are the accidents. Even on a complete fixing, it cannot be brought to it's original condition, very poor.
Main Reasons which we need to understand

1. Indian roads (Recently i took my bike @ 120+, but hell lot of patch works on a 3-lane road became less visible due to speed, I forced myself to 90+ to be safe. High speed = less visibility + less thinking time + poor braking)
2. Indian people mentality. Simply they wave their hands to stop us and cross roads, bloody***, how can they expect us to stop while at 60+ speeds in a few meter distance?. Sometimes COW\DOGs too
3. Indian drivers\riders, many don't follow proper overtaking rules, cutting through or abrupt braking while overtaking, all these shi*** gives us panic braking, colliding with the car on the rear. Not all bikes come with ABS, the fact that even a 3.5L worth benelli 300 lacks ABS while a 200cc bike gets it is really really indigestible and proud about RS200
4. Bikers themselves, every bike has it's limit until where it can stay stable and brake effectively, we should know. A P220 cannot hard brake @100+ and be as stable but a D390 can (for eg). We should know what we have between our legs and what best it can do without hurting both of us

Drive safe guys, never opt for a drag races, avoid them and give way for those morons to move off your path. I mainly see these r15 and CBR150 guys keep fighting on roads even on traffic. Sometimes with P220 as well. Well that's my observation. Safety is primary that quality or performance.
OUR ROADS ARE NOT MEANT FOR HIGHSPEED CRUISING OR RACING, at least not yet. That's sadly true

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Buddy, it was not my owned bike. It was someone else's.

I think for a 200, the Revz Radial should be the right choice the next time the tyres are changed. Because for this bike, some money lost is better than a spill.

I noted from the attached pics. The tyres were MRF Nylogrip Zappers. They were ok with leaning and all, but the sharp front brakes really squealed the hell out of them everytime I braked. Aggressive riders should take a note.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hello, can anyone send me mounting points for the exhaust for the RS200. I want to install it in my AS200.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hi... I just checked the tail lamp and found the same problem.. when I looked closely I found out that the problem is not with lamp or body but the tyre hugger as it is aligned to the right..if you ignore the tyre hugger and view alignment of the lamp and body is correct
