145Kmph On NH 45.. Speedo Error ?? - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

punisher · 06-03-2009, 08:49 PM

Guys i want to know whether pulsar 220 can go more than 140+.. Cuz when i was returning from munnar trip.. my bike did 145kmph at NH45.. I tried four times..

Alltimes i topped more then 140+.. Ive did 9.5K kms in 2months 25days.. and my bike is new.. I was at full crouch.. when i was leaning back from crouch i saw innova overtaking me at 150+ so it is possible ???

Query Approved.

From what I have heard, the new breed of the digital instrumentation has some sort of speedo error incorporated into them, by Bajaj. For example, my bike (P-200) does 87km/hr. on top gear at 6000 RPM which really is not the case with the 'older lots' of P200s. They do somewhere around the 83km/hr. mark, if I remember correctly, at the same RPMs (6000).

As for your P220, I believe same is the case. A true 140km/hr. is really not possible on the P220. My P200 tops out at 132km/hr. speedo, which really is optimistic, to say the least.

I guess that could be the problem.. wat could be the max error for 145kmph.. it cant be more than 6 or 7..

I do not have any idea about the percentage of error of these latest set of digital instrumentations.

^^Add 4-5 to that and make it 10-12.

Thanks for clarifying that MG. So, 10-12km/hr. difference is there on the latest instrumentation. That clears up everything.

Even R15 has a true speed of around 136 ,220 is around 134 i guess .

yes the new 200s/220's do have a lot more speedo error whether intentional by Bajaj or something else i cant say

insanebiker · 06-03-2009, 10:14 PM

Yes, Aryan is right. The new lot of the Pulsars(All Ug3,Ug4s,200s and 220's) which have the white background'd speedo have some speedo error. Bajaj deliberately did this, i beleive.

I remember reading the same in some magazine too.

Both the bikes max out at around 131-132km/hr and the top speed of R15 is not more than 220.
