    145Kmph On NH 45.. Speedo Error ??

    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

                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.

                        well i tried many top speed runs on a R15 and the Gps showed me 134-136 consistently on 3 runs

                            Mobile phone GPS systems are also not that accurate IMO.

                            A speed gun/ V-BOX test gear is much more accurate.
