    Go with standard fuel, using "PREMIUM" fuel on a motorcycle designed to run on pump gas doesn't make much sense in the first case, not to mention that the premium fuels sold in our bunks are of questionable quality compared to regular fuel.

    With the money you save from the above, I'd suggest you ride more cause more km's = more happiness!
    With mineral oil NS doesn't perform well. It loses smoothness in 30 mins run + heat generated.

In first service they would have filled with bajaj oil, change if after running 700-800 kms and use any semi synthetic oil. Take it to second service at around 4800kms. Then they will fill bajaj oil again, change it 700-800 kms and use semi synthetic oil. Take it for third service in 9800 kms. Remove the bajaj oil after 700-800 kms and fill in MOTUL 7100 20W50 fully synthetic oil. There you go [emoji106]
    During first 1000 kms i received around 58-61 kmpl. I didnt rev above 3500 rpm even once. After 1000 kms till 2000 i received 53-55 kmpl. The limit was 5000rpm. Now i tear it in 100+, i get 43-45. Iam happy with its power and smoothness. I use xtra premium. Hope the information fulfills your question. [emoji56]

    It is a repetition, but the most important on every bikes. First of all NS160 has a very smooth engine, keep it very well and enjoy the companion. Complete the running in period in a smooth manner. Never ever rev your engine hard. Complete your first service before 500 kms. Use Xtra premium petrol if available.
    I got on 12th April in less than 300kms hav got serviced and me get fear while taking turns in it of falling and is it normal that if the engine gone below 1500rpm r 10/15km/hr it shut downs instantly when it is going in higher speed slowed down with downshifting ofc and is it bike which has very long life?... (me a student) and me thought changing back tier with a fatter one does it do any good?... Hope questions get answered thanks in advance

    Re: Pulsar NS 160

    Removed the "dummy cover" yesterday.
    Its presence did have small benefits but it was covering some main areas (To my eyes). Now the engine head & the oil cooler is completely exposed to air. Additionally the right side spark plug, two inner holes near the beginning of exhaust pipe, the oil cooler pipe lines all gets more exposed. I believe it to make positive changes & am watching it closely. Will update the result after some days....Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20180416_071523.jpg Views: 1 Size: 72.1 KB ID: 1959557

    I have never read a bad review about NS160. The first entry in this category would not be a bad one from bajaj. It is not the very best bike, but one of the best. It was less in numbers on the road, but increasing day by day.

    Re: Pulsar NS 160

    What is the maximum speed that you tried on your NS ? I did upto 112Kms today morning, because of strong wind couldn't hold on to that too much or push further. The bike doesn't express any stress or made any big noise. Really powerful and smooth even at 9000+ RPM. Thinking about your opinion ("choosing gixxer instead of NS160"), i really was bit worried, but what made you feel so with a new bike ? Is there any other problems that you face ???

    Do ur bike makes tappat noice when it gets hot a sound of kit kit kit..??
    It is better to take it to the service center,
    than messing it up. Regarding your question about the noise, There is an additional noise in the engine after a long run. When i asked the service engineer, he told that all the bajaj bikes in current generation has that. It is not a problem.

    Also, how easy is NS160 for DIYs? For tappet adjustment, he has to pull apart half the bike (just like 200NS), I think.
    NS160 is a difficult one in case of DIY.
    Everything is covered because of the perimeter frame. Looks so complexed...
