Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

I had a serious issue the day before yesterday.. i was riding my bike fine.. and for one overtake manouver accelerated in 4th gear for may be upto 6k+ rpm and since a rhs corner was around 100-200 metres i closed the throttle and revs came down to around 3k then all of the sudden as i clutched in for downshifting to 3rd, the engine shut down itself .. i hit the ignition button for as long as i remeber after that.. choked .. again hit the button but no response.. then i thought that it wont happen and left it for 10-15 mins and at last i furiously hit the ignition for around 15 seconds then only engine came to life .. why did this happen ? Before this no issues whatsoever was there .. pls suggest .. bad fuel or anything ??
Ps : after engine came to life, i revved it at 10k rpm once in neutral for 1-2 seconds. will it have some impact on engine life?[emoji26] [emoji26]

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS


Wait!! Didn't you post this in another thread earlier? I thought your query was already answered. If not then the problem with your bike is simple, the valves (one or more) would have gotten stuck open causing a compression loss which resulted in the bike shutting down. If you had not clutched at that time your bike would have lugged forward for a few meters and then the problem would've corrected itself.
Its not a serious issue. Just clean the carb and remove the head and get it cleaned and lubricated. Also have the mechs check all of the bike's oil passages leading to the head. Improper lubrication causes this.

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

Thanks a ton for your reply .. yup i poured in few ml of fuel injector cleaner (also for carb) in the tank yesterday .. since the incident i have ridden for about 30kms and the problem hasnt reoccured.. for checking oil passages i will be visiting svc after few weeks .. is that okay?
By the way, svc had mixed 200ml of bajaj oil as topup and previously used oil was motul 5100 15w50 in the servicing done 150kms back .. hope that isnt the issue?

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

Here are the pics of the injector/ carb cleaner

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS


Definitely visit the svc and get it sorted ASAP to prevent any future problems.
Also the only situation where cocktails work is if you're a drunk mixing alcohol to get a super kick.
Point is, refrain from mixing oils. And please stay away from Bajaj oil at all costs. Trust me, you're better off putting parachute coconut oil in you engine bro.

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

You made a good point.. neither do i feel good adhering to bajaj oil but i am from nepal.. where motul isnt available at all.. only at duke's svc its available where they charge 2400 for a litre of 7100.. i have bought few 5100s from singapore though but i am not able to use it since neither of the svcs allow it..once i used it as soon as i did 3rd service (after throwing bajaj for 100 kms) and at this servicing (4th) the svc folks thought that i had used bajaj oil in the past and topped it up in my bike :P .. i couldnt tell them as well since i always service in the company owned and biggest svc in nepal . (Although others are authorized they're private and rather small). else they would sure void the warranty haha ..
But bro my point is my bike didnt feel much different after the change of oil.. as many others use the words "transformed and how", it didnt "transform" for me big time .. can you say why?

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS


So what are the oils available in your area anyway? Maybe I can suggest something based on that.
As for the transformation thing. Its way subjective. And all oils offer satisfactory performance in cold temperatures. Thick oils cause starting trouble and sluggishness but roughness and hard gearing only happen in higher temperatures. Maybe that's it, maybe your local temperature is why your not noticing a drastic change.

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

If it didn't transformed for you ,then that means you ride like a commuter.
Trust me ,a brand new ns on bajaj will feel fked than a 1year old on motul.

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS



Yup..i might ride like a commuter .. It feels soo good at high rpms but i seldom take it there; but at low rpms a type of resistance is there and vibration is more felt .. Is it like in any other ns? .. I shift generally at 4.5k except for overtake moves. And one more thing.. After using motul the oil (spots of it) was started to be seen from the lhs magneto; especially from the wire leading to magneto .. why did this happen?

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

One year and 11k kms completed . The bike was problem free for this year except one instance where the clutch cable broke .
Impressions :
The bike is in its element at high revs . Above 5 k rpm the engine is butter smooth .Keeps on pulling seems like there's no end to it .
The tyres are long lasting . Despite all the bad image about grip, I feel once the tyres are run in the grip actually improves . Seems like Bajaj was extra smart here.
The bike is almost all terrain , thanks to the high ground clearance , stiff suspension and tough tyres . I am easily able to climb on to sidewalks ( not that I recommend it ) and also did fairly well on the side of the roads in traffic where there is no tarmac and in wet gravel .

Cons :

I feel a bike of this brute power badly needs ABS . I dont get the stopping confidence at high speeds ( above 90 kmph) which prevents me from going further .
Am not the most adventurous rider , but I feel maneuverability and handling leaves a lot to be desired . The bike smokes all the 150 cc - 225 cc bikes ( except maybe the KTM 200) in a straight line , but at cornering other bikes ( especially the low strung bikes like apache and FZs ) have an advantage in those traffic signal grand prix that we all tend to get into .
Again this is just me , others may probably disagree .

happy riding !

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

Hey Rohit bro.. a small suggestion ... just let go of your inhibitions, load your NS and hit the open roads ON A TOUR and you would be amazed by what you get in return. I used to think the same way until I actually did it so I am speaking from experience bhai. Just got back last month from a fortnight long tour stretching 5600 kms, rode for 8 days total averaging about 650 kms a day) through some pretty shitty terrain through the worst of the Western Ghats in the monsoons and NEVER was I let down. I agree with unstability however I hit up 127 kmph by odo and I still had the juice to go on if I had not run into traffic forcing me to slow down.

Agree that the NS is unforgiving in a way... disrespect him and he kicks your butt up but love him and he will love you more.. ride with a light hand on the throttle and see yourself cruise at 90 all day without the jerkiness of the torque.

The leaning towards left seems to be pronounced in some bikes, not all, mine did not have any - with or without pillion.

Trust me, the NS even with the higher center of gravity can cause knee scrapes if cornering without guards, seen it experienced it have the bruise to speak for it and I did not feel any uneasiness in cornering. The reason of the uneasiness of cornerning to the right vs the left is more of the mind. i also face that but push him and he loves reciprocating, rest assured he wont let you down and the stiff suspension does not let him down, though it does let the pillion down pretty bad - a backbreaker

Dude, you bought an NS not just some bike man... respect.

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

As far as possible do not add additives to the petrol. The carb diaphragm will not be able to withstand the additives and may deform and give you problems. Use the best possible petrol.

Re: Problems with Pulsar 200 NS

Guys I have a query and I would appreciate if someone could help me out here. From the past days when I linearly accelerate, the RPM needle kinda vibrates in the 4500 - 5500 range. Once the range is passed the needle stabilises. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this ?
