    Re: Hero XPulse 200

    My friend want to buy this bike.... He asked me the details, but i have some doubts...

    1) Carb. vs FI: Other than the smooth transmission and cold start, whats the pros of the FI. And he wants mainly for city riding(60%) and ECR (Highway riding(40%)) every month...
    2) Is spending 10K more for FI Version, is worth in long term ownership, by gaining that 2 or 3 Kms extra per liter (Sorry for this silly question....)
    3) While choosing Carb. version, we get only normal disc, other than the petal disc.. Is it make any difference other than the heat dissipation...like brake efficiency, brake pad life.... Is it possible to change it to petal discs after some years?

      FI needs very less or zero maintenance compared to carb. You get consistent performance and mileage.

      Carb will give slightly more punchy performance but it needs cleaning and returning every 20k km. And it's a headache to do as it requires skill and patience. Not every ASC/ local mech is good at carb tuning and a bad tune can ruin your bikes performance.

      IMHO the additional cost for FI is worth it. Also FI xpulse gets metal bash plate and knuckle guards whereas carb gets plastic bash plate.

      Edit- fibre bash plate in xpulse carb.

          Hello guys,

          Anyone in Bangalore facing an issue with the bikes being delivered? Can anyone provide any contacts as such regarding this? It's been a month since I've booked and I've not gotten a proper timeline regarding the delivery.

            Just for a information to share: Found a video about rusting in various parts of Xpulse, hope they rectify the rusting problem in upcoming batches....

            Any update from HMC for center stand ...

              From what I heard, there seems to be supply issue from the vendor with the Fuel Injection system for the bikes, hence the production is delayed.

                  Congratulations on your purchase Imam. I hope the 390 still does duty.

                  Cheers!

                  Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                  The girl said, 'NO!'


                  And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                  THE END

                          I got my 200t on 15th sep and believe me the bike was giving that clicking sound when I was driving it to home from showroom. I wonder why I selected this over Honda or Yamaha.

                            Man Go to showroom,Get it cleared... Ask em is it normal for new engines?
                            And Dude, you have made a great choice, just make sure you spray anti rust, as some dude commented his bike getting rust within 15th month, that's absurb

                                Make sure the valves are set properly according to the factory spec given in the manual. The idling engine clatter you are talking about seems normal for these engines. The clatter may increase a bit more when it gets hot. As long as the valve clearances are set right, no mileage or performance issue should come.
