Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences
But wait a minute, I thought you bought AS150 as first when I read you post. Took some time later to understand it was AS200. AS 150 is decent, but Gixxer seems to dominate at the moment.
Anyway, Congrats first of all. You have selected a very good value for money product. In terms of looks AS might not please everybody. But again looks are subjective. But if you deeply look at her body, you can see NS residing behind the fairing, look still deeper and you will realize KTM Duke 200 soul smiling at you
KTM Duke 200 could've been many NS owners dream including mine. But once you start owning it not all owners will begin to like it. KTM Duke is not suitable for all characters, it's like having a cup of tea, but can't take it for regular meals. It's a mad animal and loses all it's juice very quickly, where as AS/NS is a tamed animal which knows where to take or lose power or say "For matured riders", a little
. AS200 is better in all ways compared to NS, especially the windshield and projectors. I've heard AS200 pricing has been hiked to 2000/-. Don't know if you bought it after hike or before.
Ride safe, follow proper run-in procedures. Keep post and make it alive. Ride with Helmets always no matter even if it's a 100 feet. Riding gears can be used on long rides, but Helmets are must always.

Basically there's not a hell of difference before and after 5100. I still feel my NS loves Bajaj crap oil only 
, though have a feeling that I'm in a safer hands. As many NS owners suggested, 7100 shall give crunchy acceleration and redline performance. But again, many NS owners suggested Motul 5100 to be a lot smoother, but it rather failed in my case 
. So, better I'd leave it to you. Try it and find it, as every single engine has unique characteristics. You may try 7100, as you are almost 7K KMs. If you feel it better, keep it running. By the way. I might return back to Bajaj.
By the way, Motul Drain interval shall be 1500 - 3000 (depends on how bad you ride). If you start feeling harshness and gear shift issues then it's time to change it.

Yes. They are not good. Doesn't mean that you can't live with it, but ride with MRF gives you more confident. Anyway AS200 doesn't come with MRF and it won't. You can either wait for that or buy and trade those new tyres to some after market guys who might take it for less. Later you can buy MRF Revs which is better than zapper.

Good to Hear . Some people say 5100 will be Much more smoother than 7100 and 7100 is better for redlining
Until you use the same grade oil 20W50 it wont void the warranty. BTW 5100 has only 15W50.
