It wasn't like that before. The rattling and vibrations have seriously become too much now
    I would suggest to find a good local mechanic. SVC are good for nothing, they don't do anything on your bike and are deaf to customer problems.

    The NGK India website recommends these for the 200NS/AS:

    1. CPR8EAIX-9 (left and right plugs)
    2. LKAR8AI-9 (centre plug, same as Duke & RC)

    I've been able to source #1 here in Calcutta (Wellington), but #2 is not available. Any clue where I should be looking? It's out of stock on Flipkart.

    if u check tyre pressure when the tyre is hot , fill at least 3 psi more . that is 29+3 front & 32+3 rear for ns/as 200
    best bet is but a pressure gauge online & check air pressure when tyres r cold

    Well the tyre does take a little time to warm up. Increase the pressure on front. Use 28 on front with pillion. Also euro tyres are all season tyre. U dunt need to worry use tyre for another 5-10k and then think if u wanna upgrade

    I have been following threads to upgrade tyres and was hoping someone could tell me about the credibility of the stock tyres Euros since this is my first winter with AS200. Does the grip varies with temperatures on euros? I have been confident riding and cornering on euros buy just from past few days the grip on road seems less and I can feel bike losing rear traction, especially on Asphalt and Chip Masting. Its 9300 on my odo and threads are good and still visibly deep. I ride with 25 Psi front and 32 rear (with pilion). I keep a check on every nook and bit of my ride so rest assured, no chances of foreign objects stuck on my ride.

    Ride Safe Brothers !

    Hope everyone is enjoying the nice cold riding season..
    Guys I have a question and not getting any satisfactory answer..I am thinking of changing only the front tyre of my pulsar as200 from stock to 'michellin pilot sporty' 100/80 r17.
    Will cause any problems while riding? I mean I will loose traction while riding or my riding ratio will change..
    As200 back stock tyre is not so bad so I will keep it for the time being..
    Try using pilot street then pilot sporty. Pilot sporty isnt too good for wet roads
