@Bandhav: You have shifted from one of the best machines the Indian motorcycling industry has seen, ala the Karizma! ANY machine you ride (except perhaps a Unicorn!) would surely seem rough compared to your earlier ride...

P.S: Done any long rides on the Hunk till now?

95 kmph ok but why the accelerator go finish when still theres 2K more RPM to go

wonderboy_tm

Did you expect your bike to redline at 5th gear??? did you ???

BANDHAV

I do understand this fact.

Not yet, lets do it..

You have to build the revs slowly as per the pickup of the bike. If you rev a bit faster, the throttle will be over soon, but the bike takes its own sweet time to build up speeds. To rectify this, see that you do around 80 kmph in 4th gear and then shift to 5th gear and give throttle. You will have ample of throttle to build revs from there.

Hi,

I am from Kolkata and I am owning a Hunk since October 2008. Till date I have done 10k km on it... Every alternate Saturday I put my Hunk in NH 2 or NH 6 for Highway power drive. Around 250km is the total return trip value..

In that 250km, most of the time I ride at 8k or 9k RPM, thats the highest my hunk at stock settings go.

Thing that I want to know that as my speedo reports me 120k some time hence is it right ?

Those bike experts whom I know locally considers my speedo is reporting wrong value, and I have changed my speedo 3 times, but in all cases I have seen in highway and at 9k RPM it does show 120k !!!

So is there anyway to get this speedo to show right value ??

Thanks.

P.S. Thats my Hunk,

Aryan

@Choto Cheeta: First off, your ID is terrific - pure bong!

Secondly, you have wasted your money getting the speedo console changed for absolutely no reason whatsoever. The HH Hunk has an analogue speedo which will show a little "positive" speeds than the true speed. Generally 8 - 10% (or perhaps more) difference will be there in the speedo read and the actual, true speed.

Hi Aryan,

Proud to be a bong..

Anyway thanks for the early reply

But my point is not getting changed, How do I fix it ?

I know Bajaj at Bawanipur has a dyno to test the bikes in ramp, i went there with a friend to see if I can put my Hunk on their Pro-biking dyno, but they didnt allow...

Any one knows is there any HH service center in Kolkata has a Dyno or such to tune the speedo ?

Its looks really bad if it reports wrong

I could not test side by side of a P180 or Appache to see if my speedo and their is the same or not, but tested along side of P150 and I can see P150 is not getting over 109, hence after that I am unable to compare as the hunk seems to go beyond that 109

Would try today again as a friend has promised to bring his RTR which has a Digital meter hence would test in few hours to see if the hunk can really do 120 or not...

Thanks.

But do bikes with digital meters report the correct speed? Does anybody know for sure? Most bikes speedometers are known to about +10% error... but dunno if that applies to digital speedos.

Choto-Cheeta : Do u mean to say u wish to calibrate your speedo-meter for it to show the true speed reading? But why? Almost every bike (or car) has a speedometer error to the tune of 5-8%. The Hunk does a best of around 110km/h (true speed), and that translates into around 120 on the clock.
Recalibrating it will be difficult. What however u can do is fitting a slightly higher profile front tyre. Fitting a taller tyre reduces the speedometer error. This mod can help u
