Your engine has been almost broken up, so doing max rev wont damage it, but however to make sure the engine gets even more smoother, try opening your power band slowly but covering most of the range of your RPM (if you were running mostly on 5k rpm these days) to 6-7k gradually and after few hundred KMs, increase further. Just do it for the next few days or few hundred KMs, later you can ride as you wish.

    FYI I did my post run-in till 2500kms. Now my NS is perfect even with dirty bajaj oil. Anyway Im planning for motul.
    ride careful, cheers

    It's just a bent, it can be fixed if you have some spanner. I once dropped bike while climbing, my gear lever got bent and was not even moving, the svc guy just did what I said earlier.
    Thanks for your reply.Can you also suggest where should i get it serviced. It is going to be my first service. My friends are suggesting to get it serviced from Khvraj Kasturba road itself (bought it from there). I read through the previous post & realized BSK auto service is one of the best in Bangalore for Pulsar bikes. I recently moved to Bangalore 43 days back hence dont have much idea about it.

        I would suggest the banshankari auto service.they are undoubtedly the best when it comes to pulsars.khivraj is also good but I don't have much experience with Kasturba road.I did try the indiranangar and marathalli khivraj and they are the worst.hence don't trust on khivraj.

        However how is the other one,I want to know.even I heard very good reviews about it.and is it Bajaj authorised ?

                        @ jbm_guy - Thanks a lot for your prompt response! What you say makes perfect sense - once the break-in is over at 2,000 km and the bike is serviced, I'll start raising the rpm in higher gears gradually. Hopefully I should be able to explore the entire rev range in higher gears by 2,200-2,300 km, and in all the gears by 2,500 km.

                        Will I need to change my oil again at 2,500-3,000 km? (I'll change it at 2,000 km, of course). The next official service (2nd free service) is scheduled at 4,500-5,000 km - which is pushing it a bit, given that I'm running on Bajaj's legendary DTSi 10,000 oil.

                        So far, the oil+filter changes (plus strainer cleaning) have been at 150, 550 and 1,000 km (during which I've progressed from 4,000 rpm to 4,500 and then occasionally to 5,000, all acceleration runs being gentle). The bike is now at a little over 1,900 km.

                        Thanks again for all your help!

                          I've also written to Bajaj and the chances of getting any reply look bleak. Never should have doubted my idea of buying a Yamaha.
                          My bike stalled on the road while riding last week. Have really lost confidence since then. I used to go for random rides during night and on weekends. drove it almost 1800km in one and a half months. but have only taken the bike out once since then. Really feel scared now, so i understand the feeling.

                          Does AS200 come with centre stand? Coz the manager in the showroom said there are no accessories with the AS200..
                          It does not come with a side stand by default neither does NS. There is a centre stand available from bajaj for the NS and i guess the same fits the AS.

                          I was charged Rs 750/- for the side stand and they didnt even give a bill despite my requesting twice. I feel the one ive got is fake since there was no mRP and no hologram on the pack. when i pointed this out to the manager he quickly took the cover and threw it under his desk. I am thinking of reporting the issue to Bajaj.

                          For me they charged:

                          Engine Oil 1.2L Rs 480
                          Oil FIlter Rs 74
                          Chain servicing Rs 60

                          Total Rs 614/-.

                            Price is correct.however there should be a hologram on the plastic packing of the aide stand.you should have insisted for a bill.the reason why they didnt give bill is because it might be fake or they wanted to make some money.I did it for rs 600 including fitting .ideally its rs632. I got a discount.however you should complain this to Bajaj.there is a till free number for it.just Google it

                                Well that looks good that you are trying to be safer than saying sorry.... I only changed it at 1st and 2nd service bro. But I still feel my engine is quite well set, but however the Bajaj oil is showing some signs, @4.5K to 6K in gears 2,3 the bike sounds harsh and little viby. However it gets smoother on higher gears. Once I commit the oil change to Motul, hopefully I expect these minor issues to be arrested. You don't need to change oil after your run-in as you may not benefit much, but there is no harm if you do and ofcourse if you dont mind about the cost , Remember, the drain interval of oil, esp Bajaj oil is typically higher ~5-7K Kms if you run at sane conditions, where as with Motul it shall be ~2-2.5kms. So Long life, average quality Vs Short life, best quality

                                Wait till 5K Kms bro, then get to Motul.
