Very funny thing i ever heard " reached 100kmph in 1st gear". By hearing this i am remembering my LP school time.
Mate cant reach to 100kmph in 1st gear, you can only touch upto 45km -max 50kmph in 1st gear cant cross this at this speed the bikes vibration will be high. My friend own a 8 month old p220.

hello guys.
i have pulsar 200cc. i am very peaceful rider no rush. always use to change gear in 2nd after speedo hits 10-15kmph. but when i saw how people used to drive for fastly reaching high speed on speedo. so i tried maximum speed that can be reached in first gear.
so i tried many times and found my bike stuck on 45kmph and after that have to shift gear in 2nd.
my frnd has p220dtsi and he said he can rev in first gear upto 100kmph.
so i am really disappointed.

so please masters tell me wether it is a problem and if yes then please tell me the solution. i have recently changed sprocekt set, clutch plates , tyres, after market clip-on.

please friends help me.

I remember asking similar question to my dad about my cd 100 touching top speed in first gear (when i was learning the bike) ... It really seems silly but he explained me that what i am doing is revving the bike hard.. and not touching the top speed..
later i realised what gears are for... today i know what i was doing was plainly because i did not know about it...

this seems to be a genuine query..

sorry again for spoiling the fun...

btw, i am still roflmao after reading his question and then reading the replies....

@ rokerz Thanks a lot.
instead solving my problem all ppl r just knocking the comments on my friends bike . btw he has p220 with vyde and reached 157 on odo. will ask him again (may be i am wrong).

so please again hitting 47kmph in first gear is normal or not........

People here have touched 153 kmph on speedo but they are very talented riders i dont know about friends riding skill but 157 on speedo smells some thing fishy

and the Vyde tyre have nothing to do with the topspeed.
In case of ur bike it is totally normal but please refrain such activities as it will screw ur bike big time.

@ Original Thread Starter

Well, we all here on xbhp are here to solve each others queries and problems but we all should be aware that this is a serious biking community with some serious bikers around who have a lot of experience in this area...

If you have any genuine queries then you are most welcome to ask them here and we all would be glad to answer those...

However, I would suggest that you try to find out the answers first by Googling or going through the bike manuals before asking any questions as in most of the cases these two sources are sufficient to answer your queries...

I wouldn't like everyone making fun of me like people are doing here after reading your query...

I'm sure no one means any offense but it's kinda lame...

Please be more vigilant in the future...

As someone said on this forum, you can overheat your engine if you rev your bike upto the redline on a lower gear. Your bike is an air-cooled engine and there isn't sufficient wind blowing around the engine at lower speeds. Revving it will heat it and cause a serious problem.

I read this somewhere on xbhp: for maximum acceleration, rev. your bike upto the rpm where you get max. power (read your manual for that) and then upshift your gear. For a drag race, rev. it to the redline and then upshift. For better mileage, do what you used to do before.

**princesirohi** · 02-23-2011, 10:57 PM

although the question was pretty basic.....but i think we should not make fun of someone.........

on a lighter note, even i couldn't stop myself from LOL.

but we are responsible bikers.........so we should refrain from making fun of those who are less aware of bikes.

Make my BET with him for 1 Lac INR. If he touches the above mentioned speed on any type of road @1st gear than I'm ready to shell out 1 Lac to him and purchase his bike for another 1 Lac. Untill his bike has heavily altered GEARING. And yes no need of Video or any such thing.

Just take his bike and try revv it at 1st gear you will possibly achieve 40-45kmph and then show him. If he still says that bike touches 80-100kmph than say him that you want to ride @1st gear at highest possible RPM for 100kms and see if this makes difference. At the end of the day he will learn lesson the hard way by BREAKING his bike up.

82 kmph in 1st gear is impossible.

unless... if he rode off cliff.

and he'd need a sprocket the size of his rear wheel to do that.

Wrong calculation dude

if your calculating 1st geat 100kmph then 5th gear = (5x100) 500kmph

if our bikes are doing 45kmph in 1st, I don't think the same bike does 45x5=225kmph in 5th gear!
