Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

You are going to switch back to bajaj oil??
And I havent got the hazard lights installed yet as it requires opening the headlight assembly. So I will get that done in the second service. Will post the pics when its done in a few weeks time. I am quite worried though about the fairing noise after the mod because my bike is rattle free as of now and when I went to the svc there were two guys with AS just for fairing noises.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Run Minerals till Second service. Let the new Dtsi OIL churn a bit, and change it like after 2 months, and Switch. The old Abrazed thick oil is cleansed off from the parts inside before you change, thats what i did.

Opening the headlight assembly is not that hard actually, need a lot of patience and right set of tools, thats all. I had to open it myself after idiots at the SVC messed the highbeam projection, it f-ing beamed at second floor of my bldg when close by.

SVC are strict with putting in DTSi oil during service, their rules or void warranty.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

When i change the oil to a different brand do i need to flush the engine with petrol or something to take out the residual oil or do i just drain the old one and pour in the new one?

How should I maintain my new bike

Hi all,
I have a bajaj pulsar as200 about a month ago. I've done about 750 kilometers on it so far.. I haven't crossed a top speed of 65 kmph on the sixth gear yet. It's time for the first service.

I have a couple of questions :
1. Can I ride the bike a bit faster after a complete thousand kilometers?
2. Can I get the clutch settings adjusted. It's too soft (half-clutch) and loose.
3. What mandatory things I should follow to maintain it well.

This is my first bike.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Hi All,


I bought the AS 200 two weeks before and have been riding this bike for a week. I had followed the "Limiting the RPM" advice from forums and from the guide till day before yesterday. But for some reasons, I had to take the RPM between 6-7K RPM for the last two days. I had to travel 24 KM to office. So, I had broken the revving limitation for around ~ 95 KMs. Does this have any negative impact on the bike? Can I continue to ride below 49 KMPH?

Secondly, I got my rear disc locked twice. And without knowing( I experience airlock for the first time. So I didn't know that rear disc was locked ), I had ridden the bike to around 2 KMS .

I also experience some more problems.
1. Feeling of fuel getting blocked.
2. Humming sound during "slowing down" after reaching higher RPMs
3. Improper Idling ( 1.5K sometimes and near 2.6K sometimes )

As I am nearing my first service ( now am at 470 KM ), can you please advice whether to check anything regarding the above problems.

Forgive me, I could not describe some problems with their actual technical terms.

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

na na i mean i change bajaj oil after each 3k , after 10k i will switch to motul.
don't worry ask them to fix it properly. i had one small fall so to replace parts they opened full flaring but its still the same no vibes

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Well for the hazard lights, I suggest you get a switch and short the positive terminals of your front indicators.. All four should blink when you turn on your indicator.. just turn the switch off, to return to stock

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

No, oil system is pressurized, never run any thing other than oil, and that too at specified viscosity. To cleanse cruddy oil (which by the way never happens if you change it before regular intervals, may be after 20,000km after running the same oil), run minerals prematurely for like a two weeks, that should be enough.

Do not rev hard (i mean sudden to full yanks at the throttle) after an oil change, let it churn properly, effects of the new oil only show up after a 100kms or later.


----BE A GENTLEMAN ON THE ROAD, THROTTLE CRAZY MORONS ARE ONE TOO MANY ----

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----


1) fuel blocking? - you mean the delay in throttle response after 80k's? Its normal, thats how carb'd engines work (pulsars aren't factory race tuned, okay thats sarcasm), changing AFR's might shorten the delay (can someone back this theory up???)

2)Humming sound? - Can you narrow it down? Under braking maybe?

3) There is a Black cork on the right hand engine side, turn it anti-clock while the bike is idling at stand (N), turn it slowly and set it to idle at 1.5k (a little more than that is fine), mind you, that 1.5 at traffic pull can shut throttle and stall (add race before pulling off)

4) Don't race/speed hard under initial 500, ride religiously at 40-70kmph, I know we're all tempted to see what the new bike can do, but dont. Once twice thrice is pretty cool, dont overdo it.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Thank you very much for the response....

1. It happens in much lower RPMs. I slow down my bike, and when I accelerate again, I feel as if I am hitting reserve ( sometimes not always ).
2. Yes, the sound comes when I reach some higher RPMs ( shouldn't have done that in the first place ) and then apply brakes. Does not happen on lower RPMs.
3. The idling I understand. But the thing is, the idling is not regular at all times. Could it be a fault carb setting?
4. I tried to follow, but HAD TO break for two days . Now am continuing to keep the speed below 49 KMPH. Do you think I should check for parts that could have been worn out because of this during my first service ( tomorrow most probably ) ?


Thanks again.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Bro why cannot you have done this ... as shown below in the pic ... Would it interfere with the normal functioning of the brake .. Taking nothing away from your idea this was just an afterthought -

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

I asked the service center to do this and he brought it down just two notches but it barely made any difference. Plus the rear brake became spongy and the lever sometimes got stuck down with brake lights on. had to pull the lever up everytime to turn off the parking brake. If i brought it down too much then the brakes would always be engaged so it was a no go.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Makes sense... no point putting life and limb in danger for a little ergonomics ... I was thinking of doing this onto my NS however saw this post in time to ask you this .. thanks for the update on the query bro

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

You can mod as i did it barely costs Rs 20 and 15 minutes of your time and will give you comfort on long rides.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Lower RPM? thats wrong. If you're suddenly opening that throttle at very low speeds and incorrect gear then carb engines react real slow. Stay withing same speed-gear while maintaining nominal RPM stage. I wouldn't know for sure how bad it is your end though.

Braking has a hum to it and thats normal, unless its from something else that is loud.

Nah dude, no need to replace parts, thats silly. forged metals dont wear out like wood my man...chillax its all good. Although stay vigilant at the SVC,after the service is done, examine the bike before riding, i mean like really really look at every detail. check chain tension, headlight beam (if they messed it up, like they did mine). Oil level. Coolant level, brake fluid at the back, take it for a ride, preferably with the guy incharge, before you ride out home. Check Clutch play, brake play, everything. And above all, for damages, dont believe everything they say, some are bunch of no-brainers with tools.

Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences

Moving from Noida to Bangalore and taking my Pulsar with me. Need to depart next week.
To handle NOC-related work, an agent is quoting Rs. 2800. He said he'll courier the stuff (including the original RC that I have to hand over) to my Bangalore address.
Is this the regular amount that is charged?
I suppose I'll have to pay life-time road tax in Bangalore again?
Is there a dedicated thread for this stuff as well?
