The rumor mill held that the updated version of the NS200 would also feature fuel injection. A photograph of a Pulsar NS200 with ‘FI' decals too surfaced on the internet. However that picture was of a motorcycle in Turkey, as it was launched there with ABS and FI earlier this year.

Contrary to these rumors, the updated NS200 will not feature fuel injection. It would be fueled by the same carburetor used currently, as confirmed by the dealership.

The Pulsar NS200 ABS is equipped with a single channel ABS system just like the one used in its sibling, the Pulsar RS200.

A single-channel ABS system is one in which only one of the two wheels is equipped with ABS. Only the front wheel on the Pulsar NS200 and RS200 is equipped with ABS. This way Bajaj can keep costs down, while still equipping the motorcycle to an extent.
