    My duke is 3 months and 3500 kms old now.recently i was doing updown for 10 days consisting of 50 kms road(60% highway, 30% city and 10 % village roads.decided to keep a mileage log and i got 42kmpl WITH speeds always excess of 120 on highway.a member, on facebook has got about 48.his bike too was in post run in period.so its very likely for rohan to get that figure wherein his bike is under running in and his half journey was downhill.just because you are not able to get a good mileage doesnt mean anybody else cant get it, right?
    i was riding with blokes riding enfields ..they ride it the calm way .. rode it at 70-80kmph all the time ..it was also a cool day with not so much wind so the bike's temp level stayed half way throughout ...riding it without pillion and i weigh 55kgs ... i was decelerating rather than braking most of the times ... i dont know why some people have problem with everything .. i have told before that they can either agree , disagree or ignore to any posts wisely ....dont know why they have to start bickering ....
    i have a friend here whose duke is 4000+ kms old ,,, he always manages to get around 43kmpl only during city rides ... riding style will affect the bike and its performance in a massive way ...

    Its really sad to see people misunderstanding duke due to your hilarious posts...
    If you say that duke's performance is phenomenal i will totally agree with you..but i cant agree with posts like these...

    i have a experience of going over a speedbraker at 110kmph and the bike just jumped both the wheels and landed some 15 meters ahead and that was at a by-lane of nh6... I hate speedbreakers

    In Payengs bro's blog, it is written NS (probably DUKE too.) has small Catalytic Converter than other normal bikes. So there is no sound after long rides..

    So i think you've heard it. But sound is fainted because of CC is small.

    The article talks about a multi spark ignition, where the main spark (1 or 2) is fired on the compression stroke and the other spark fires at the exhaust stroke to remove the unburnt exhaust gas, which is called Wasted-spark. Dont confuse it with Twin spark technology where both the sparks are fired on the compression stroke itself. You can check the Twin spark definition at last in the same article.

    Now Pulsars already have the Twin spark ignition and here the 3rd spark in P200NS is a Wasted-spark that operates on the exhaust stroke. This wasted spark has no impact on the bikes performance or mileage coz its timed to fire at the exhaust stroke to burn the left over. Hence it eliminates the need for a catcon.

    Payeng sir will be able to throw more light on Tri-spark....




    I hope you over-looked my comment, I have clearly mentioned "WERE" is my comment, coz exhaust failures were very common on pre-2009 Pulsars. I hope today none of the vintage Pulsars on road run with their original exhaust, while an equally aged CBZ has no such issues on its exhaust (again a very few exceptions are present)
    Please read the Wiki link carefully, it doesn't talk about 3 park plugs. A "A wasted spark" is basically used in multi cylinder engine, and does not serve any purpose and is wasted. It' just that the plugs fire in pairs. In a single cylinder engine, a wasted spark is again "wasted"! From wiki "capitalise on the simplicity and reliability of the flywheel magneto" and nothing else.

    Please see this link regarding how waste spark is used in a Single Cylinder Engine, it does not need any additional plugs http://www.gill.co.uk/products/digit...wast_spark.asp

    To put thing in simple way a "waste spark" is a result / byproduct of some or the other feature, it's not the source of some feature, I hope this makes it clear!

    Please do a proper research before posting something.
    It is certain that the third spark plug, does not fire on exhaust stroke. You can't deny every damn review of triple spark to be fake, or a marketing gimmick. Why The Pulsar 200 NS Has 3 Spark Plugs | MotorBeam - Indian Car Bike News & Reviews

    I haven't posted it, but mine did hit the speed breaker, with a pillion! And yes this was in Bangalore. The Speed Breaker was too sharp and high!

(May be it contracts the mesh when getting cold). May be the Duke's exhaust has some new catcon design, like a way-type used in cars instead of mesh type that is commonly used on bikes.
