TESTED: 2017 Modenas Pulsar RS200 & NS200 – “The Dynamic Duo”

Launched back in May 2017, Modenas introduced two brand new entries to the Malaysian market with the exciting 2017 Modenas Pulsar RS200 and NS200.

We tested both bikes in different riding experiences and locations and both bikes offer great packages and affordable prices which we know will be a big hit here in Malaysia.

Launched back in May 2017, Modenas together with Bajaj Auto Limited formed a partnership that looked like the ultimate pairing to take over the market share majority here in Malaysia.

Why checking out your Bike’s Valve Clearance is Important

Getting your bike’s valve clearance checked out is important to make sure that the engine is running smoothly and at its optimum range.

If your bike is suffering from symptoms like difficulties to start especially in the morning or lost of power even though you’ve sent it for regular servicing, it’s time to get the valve clearances checked out.

Not maintaining proper valve clearance can result in not only lost of power of start up difficulties but also potential catastrophic engine failure or engine blows.

Having trouble getting your previous motorcycle started especially in the morning when it’s nice and cold? Feeling like your motorcycle is not running as powerful as it used to when brand new even though you regularly get it serviced? If you say yes, then we reckoned that it’s about time you get the engine’s valve clearance adjusted. (more…)
