Hi Friends,
I bought this Pulsar NS 160 BS6, almost a year back. It is an awesome bike, with sufficient power to ride in city and in highway around 80 km/hr speed.
I mostly rode in highway and cruise from 60 to 70 km/hr speed. In this speed range bike is stable even in cross winds. Bike gives confidence to ride at high speed say around 90 to 100, but it is not advisable.
Bike's exhaust sound was very good in initial days. As days passed, exhaust sound changed. But even today idling beat is very good.
I completed two free services, so far no issues in bike. Since I upgraded from 100cc commuter bike, i am vey much happy and thrilled with NS 160 performance in city as well as highway.

It's normal for air cooled engines.Originally posted by Gavish Rajwar View PostHey everyone hope you guys are doing fine
It's been a month I bought the Pulsar NS 160
Loving the beautiful sharp edges of it's body, the aggressive nature of the engine and how it sounds[emoji7]
However I am experiencing an issue with my motorcycle. When the engine heats up after riding let's say 10kms the tappet starts to be klinky and noisy.
I just had 1st service yesterday and asked about the issue and they said it's normal. But I don't think tappet should make noise so soon that too in a new vehicle. Any views regarding this?[ATTACH]252911[/ATTACH]Leave a comment:

I cannot stress how important both these points are as I recently completed 24000 kms.Originally posted by Ashwiin Napster View PostDon't go too hard on the curves, take it easy. Don't go all out on highways, keep a watch on cattle and pedestrian crossing.
And most importantly, keep your body cool, hydrated and active while riding. Avoid riding in night. Happy touring!
Well I am going for a tyre change, does anyone have some good suggestions?Leave a comment:

Re: Pulsar NS 160
You can vary the speed between 60-80-100 (keeping the road conditions in mind) for optimum mileage.Originally posted by Sathya1990 View Post
Tyre pressure can be as company recommended only.
Get your chain cleaned and lubed and lube it whenever necessary.
Keep a puncture repair kit handy, just in case and learn how to patch a puncture.
Always fill up from reputed petrol bunks, try finding a COCO bunk if you can.
Don't go too hard on the curves, take it easy. Don't go all out on highways, keep a watch on cattle and pedestrian crossing.
