Wow this was super quick Bosky. Thank you for calling me over.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Cheers!

Can't think of a better bike to commute on our Bengaluru roads than Xpulse. There's no competition absolutely. Maybe the government should think about providing a subsidy for it 🤔

[@bigbearbangalore]

Agree!!! 👍😊

[@whatreally9]

I did 10k on my xpulse a month back Biggest gripes 1) refinement could be better, like you said especially when it heats, it makes noises, feels like piston rings have already come loose. Feels really bad. 2) headlight is not good. But whatever just add aux lights 3) seat had a design flaw which they have now rectified, when it gets wet, water cannot be wiped off it stays in the grooves of the seat. 4) horrible pillion ergonomics, very cramped, very short seat as well, not long enough. 5)tyres are not great but I guess you get what you pay for, in wet conditions grip is not good. 6) 5th gear could have been a tiny bit taller. 7) crap mirrors, totaly worthless Pros Essentially the pros outweigh the cons no need to list them!!

[@bigbearbangalore]

Cool! 10k club. Yeah! Agree. Try a fully synthetic engine oil to reduce the clatter. And like you said, the pros outweigh the cons. Happy riding. Cheers!

[@swapneelyadav]

Swapneel From Mumbai, Hero should also work on engine oil leakage issue, I have been fed up due this. Genuine review!

[@rijithns160]

Latest version is somewhat astonishing 😮

[@mohanrajr6466]

What's the purpose of oil cooler despite of the fact it's provided to cool the oil which helps to keep the engine heating in check and why does the engine produces noise even in a 4valve oil cooler engine..

@@mohanrajr6466 I got rid of the xpulse long back got a 250 adv now will get 390 adv next year. Ktm is much better in terms of all tiny little details

Love your videos.. I own XPulse 200 and KTM duke 390..

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks! That’s a nice garage.

[@baahubalii]

Hello, how's the suspension on KTM compared with Xpulse that you have?

[@stockandroid8483]

Thanks literally thank you from bottom of heart you cleared all confusions i am planning to buy ❤😊😊

[@bigbearbangalore]

Glad I could help.

[@md.farooqpeerzade2717]

Nice & very informative. ....... I'm planning for it, but I'm waiting for the more powerful Xpulse 300 or 350 also. .........should I wait for Bigger Xpulse or try my hands & off road capabilities with the Xpulse 200, by purchasing as used bike .....for the next 1 year

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. And you could buy a used Xp and check out what all it can add to your motorcycling life. This way you can make an informed choice a year later. And remember, new and better products will keep coming and keep coming. So, make a choice now and enjoy and live with it for few years at least. Cheers!

[@bigbearbangalore]

No problemo sir!

[@deepakpatil2931]

I was planning to buy it last year to start turing but then I thought I will wait and buy something more powerful. Now one year later I haven't bought anything..I wish I had bought it

[@bigbearbangalore]

Never too late. There is always something better available. Cheers!

[@murlibhat]

Any puncture issues faced by either of you and how did you deal with it considering its tube tyres

[@bigbearbangalore]

Not faced any and someday we perhaps will. We carry a complete puncture kit and spare tubes when touring. And if we can't fix it at the spot, then we will have to remove the wheel, take it a shop and fix and return back.

[@ujjwal94roy]

I am facing irregular rpm faculation even after warm up. Very irritating to ride in 2 and 3 gear on low rpm due to rpm faculation. Which leads to famous jerk issue of xpluse. I am still not able to solve it, cleaning the throttle body helps lil bit.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Get it checked. It's likely an electronic sensor issue.

[@pragatheesvarant7617]

Hey everyone, I'm struggling to maintain control at speeds over 80 kmph. Even after having the rear wheel checked and grooving done by service personnel, I still experience a slight shaking sensation when it spins on the center stand. Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Replace tyre

[@baahubalii]

Hi @CowKora @bigbearbangalore The good things that you said about the suspension, does KTM 250 ADV also have that much good suspension? Please reply. I'm planning to get a Adv. Maybe 250 ADV or Xpulse. Your input will be valuable.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Similar to the 390. Test ride to know more.
