Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Congratulations [emoji322]

Try to keep varying RPM during break in period.
Your trip should go well if you ride as you said. That’s a good break in for your bike. Just note that it will get more hot as it’s a new bike.

Try to maintain at least 3 letters to be on safer side.

Thank You !!

Does the last bar indicates we are still left with 3 ltrs and we need to refuel??

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Does anyone happen to know the front brake piston measurements from RS200? as in 30x28.5 and 32x28.5

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

There needs to be some amount of fuel left in the tank for the FI system to be submerged in. Otherwise, it will get heated up and fry!

It is a good practice to refill once your reach the last bar on the fuel indicator. But keep in mind that the fuel indicator is not very accurate. A better way is to keep tab on the kms ridden. In city, I refill around 260 km mark (full tank). On long rides, I tank up around 300 km mark. This is when I get 32 kmpl in city and around 38 kmpl during long rides.

RS200 problems im facing (1 year after)

Hey guys, I own the RS200 2016 model and it has run 9.5k kms and its been a year. It was running fine until around October, when I noticed a few problems with the bike.

1. Firstly, there was momentary power loss with the bike when the bike was just started in the mornings. I thought it might be because of the cold weather, but again its a fuel injected bike and hence should not have any issues. But the problem still persists even after repeated complaints and apparent "fix" by Bajaj service. Whenever I give a sudden throttle while goin at lower rpms, there is a sudden loss in power for a fraction and the bike picks up later (not just during cold engines).
2. I also notice that the bike is kind of struggling to accelerate the way it used to. At any particular gear it takes higher revs to reach the same speed as before. The top speed has also reduced due to this and I'm just not getting the same response as before from the throttle.
3. There is a weird smell coming from the engine soon after the vehicle has run a few kms after start. It increases as the engine gets heated. I'm not sure what the smell is from though, if its from the radiator or the engine itself.
4. I just got my 3rd service done and I noticed that any accidental push start presses produced a hiss sound when the bike is running which wasn't there previously and the lights and display dim off during that time.
5. This might not be an issue at all, but the clock on my display, used to reset itself to some random time when I started the bike sometimes. Ive mentioned these concerns with Bajaj during service, but it doesn't seemed to have been rectified.
Can you help me out here? I really need to get my bike back to its original form by having it fixed.
Thank you.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Dear friends,

Its been two months I have brought RS200.First service is done and clocked 4200Kms. my bike has some issue,when ever the bike stops in gear suddenly it doen't start quickly.It takes 3 to 4attempts or at least I have to switch off key and on.This happens so randomly,what is the issue ? Is it ECU ? Or battery ?

Re: RS200 problems im facing (1 year after)

Do the following and see if it helps:

• Change fuel filter
• Clean throttle body
• Clean the fuel tank
• Replace fuel lines
• Replace Air filter
• Check throttle cable play
• Check spark plug gap (replace if necessary)
• Make sure the air box and throttle body has no gap while fitting it back


Important thing to note here is that the fueling on this bike isn't perfect, it coughs and jerks when very little throttle input is given. So you won't be able to remove it completely, but it will reduce to a point where it won't be as annoying if the above mentioned things are taken care of.

Cheers.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

It's normal for this to happen. Next time when the bike stalls just flip the Killswitch ON and OFF once. It'll start right up.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Guys my rs does not show any symbols of life! It is completely dead all of a sudden! No lights in the cluster

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Looks like some fuse is blown. Or maybe the battery is fully dead. Did the bike show battery malfunction light before this issue? Anyways, get your bike to the showroom. If the problem is fuse, this might not be a big issue. But do try to check why did the fuse blow out. It can be because of some short circuit. It the root cause is not diagnosed, the new fuse will also blow.

If the battery is totally dead, check if the problem is with the battery or with the charging system. Often the alternator coil is burnt thereby not charging the battery. This leads to a dead battery even if the battery is itself ok.

Do post the resolution of the issue on the forum.

Hi guys, i have to open the rear seat but i cannot with the key. Fully open the key but i cannot remove the seat

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hello guys,
I bought a used Pulsar RS200 for 85k and have got the following questions
1. I got an engine oil refill at 15k km. However, the Motul 7100 engine oil was below the minimum level by 17.5k km. The service center guy revved the engine to the RPM limit on neutral, and pointed to the faintest bit of smoke coming out from the exhaust and explained that this was engine oil burning. What could be a possible reason for this? Low coolant levels or the engine being worn?
2. I plan to get the clutch plates and chain/sprocket as well as tires replaced at 20-22k km. Can any of you recommend good service centres in Bangalore who can be trusted for this?
Is there any particular brand of chain/sprocket I should go for? Tires- Tossup between Michelin Street Radials or Pirelli Sport Demons.
Clutch plate - I am hoping the stock ones should suffice?
3. The rear tires seem to lose pressure within 1-2 weeks from 35psi to 18-20 psi. There are no apparent punctures, although I did get one repaired a few months ago. Is this pressure loss normal or could the tire rim be bent?
Also does filling Nitrogen instead of air help?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Welcome to the club Kaustuv!

Point 1: Make sure that the bike was standing on a level ground for some time before checking the oil level. If you check the oil while bike is on the side stand, oil reading will not be accurate. If the oil level has actually dropped and smoke is coming from exhaust, then indeed the oil is burning. Check the spark plug. If there are carbon deposits, it can be due to oil burning. Was there an oil spill? If yes, check the underbelly bolt. It can also be due to faulty gasket. If there is no spill, then the oil is going directly to the combustion chamber. Low coolant level would not cause this.

Point 2: The chain + sprocket can be replaced at 20-22k and I would recommend the OEM for this. But do you really need new clutch plates? Usually clutch plates last longer than this. If you want to replace them, again the stock clutch plates are recommended.
Regarding tires, Michelin Street radials are definitely good. You can also upgrade to 140 section without any changes to the tire setup. I myself went with the MRF Zapper S (upgraded to 140 section)

Point 3: No, this is not normal. There can three causes for this. First, check the tire valve by putting soap water on it and moving it manually. Second, check the old punctures again. Third is checking the edge of the tire for any bent in the rim and associated air loss.

I did try Nitrogen but didn't find any noticeable change. So, I opted for 78% Nitrogen mix which is quite inexpensive

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Thanks Rachit for the quick response!!

Yes, I had checked it with a cool engine after keeping the bike level. Smoke only comes if I rev it to the RPM limit (and not a very noticeable amount of smoke). There is no spill. I'll check the spark plugs for deposit (y). Also, someone mentioned that this could be due to damaged cylinder walls or worn out pistons. In that case, am I looking at a very expensive repair?

I'll go with your advice on the chain/sprocket and clutch plates

I plan to go tomorrow to a local puncture repair guy to find the root cause. The tire appears okay, so does the valve.

any Rs 200 modification tips?
