Varun on his new Bajaj Pulsar 200 C.C DTSI

In this review I will try to cover all aspects I can, rest u can ask me if need anything to know.

When I ride my new bike a feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling comes from within to rip the bike full throttle...!!

• The Engine is really smooth and powerfull I must say. The oil cooling which has been newly introduced is also working well I think. It protects the engine at high speeds by cooling the oil and maintaining the viscocity of oil.
• Suspension is realy good. You will not feel the road at all man.. Even in the most rough road the bike glides in a nice manner.
• Braking is also dependable. I have not tested it fully but it does feel realy nice.
• Tube less Tyres are introduced for the first time in India. Front tyre pressure-28 and rear-36. Since the tyres are tube less, it weighs less and also produces less fiction. Being broad in width and size it gives a very smooth ride and grips the road really well. Much better compared to the old pulsars.(It is recommended to check the tyre pressure once in every week or 10 days).
• Handling is very light and stable due to better tyres and the abundance of torque available.
• Fuel tank is of 15 lts and has a 3.2 lt as reserve, 2 lts of it is usable.. rest 1.2 is non usable and is there all the time and in case you are out of petrol, then you can bend your bike to access that 1.2 lts and reach the petrol pump in case of emergency.. :-)
• Electricals: I don't think the Head lamp(35W) is powerful enough to go with the bike's image. Bajaj people should do something about it. It's just like any other odinary bike. But yes, it does emit a White Light. The self canceling indicators are a nice touch but it does create a mess when u have to turn a lot in traffic, due to the handle moving in both directions. The Turn signal, Neutral, High beam indicators and Side stand are all LEDs.
• Digital Meter has a lot of features. Like 2 tripmeters, a fuel indicator, speed indicator, low battery indicator , air filter dirt indicator, Engine over heating indicator, etc. Tail light being LED's gives a very nice and sporty look.




• Battery is 12v 9ah MF type and is of Exide.
  Bajaj officials have said to check the water level of the battery once a year.. let's see what happens.
• Seating is comfortable and sporty but when you sit, most of the body weight rests on the wrists. So if you are not using a soft grip cover, your hands will start paining after a long journey. It is advisable to use some new handle grips as the ones that come on the bike are quite hard to touch.
• Gear box is quite ok. Actually my bike does have a small problem. The second gear gives some noise when it is engaged. It happens only in the second gear.. may be because it is new. Maybe it will smoothen out after some time. Other wise every thing is fine.. no probs at all.
• Clutch: It works fine on my bike
• Paint Quality is good.. really good.
• Mileage is around 40 km/l or may be a little above I guess. I am riding between 45-55 km/hr. Not gone for the first service. Waitin for it.
• Pick up and Power cannot be judged untill i reach around 1500 kms and has about 3 services. After that it would be wise to check the performance.

One problem I have with the digital meters is that, it does not show the correct amount of fuel in the tank. So to calculate the mileage is difficult.

The bike's kerb wt. is 145 kgs. The drive chain is open it it is advised to keep it lubricated at regular intervals. The Silencer (exhaust) is a thing of beauty and compliments the "beast" well. Tank pad helps a lot in protecting the scraches. Enough spaces to fit a k&n or any other performance air filters.

Max Speed I have attained so far is 62 km/hr. It was by mistake acually. Do not take your new bike above 60 km/hr under any conditions. I do not cross 57 km/hr generally. Maximum strech covered is about 30 kms to my college. Then the journey back.



Regards Varun
Cheers!!!
