someone told me we should switch the fuel to off mode when bike stands still
this improves the mileage of the bike
is it true?

NO.Originally posted by lockhrt999 View Post
It will make things easier for engine to pull, as an oiled chain results in less friction but this will NOT result in increase in top speed.
NO again.Originally posted by lockhrt999 View Post
EVEN SHELL dont know they manufacture an oil which provides 5kmph boost in top speed.
NO, to gain 10kmph you need solid back wind complete with slope to gain 10kmph with leaning,leaning will boost top end by 3-5 MAX.(Consideruing the INDIAN bikes as they are out of pull in their max revs)Originally posted by lockhrt999 View PostThe Magician"

NO.
It's a good habit to turn it in off position so that the carb wont overflow specially in summers.
and if the float is not proper it'll overflow it real bad.The Magician"

Not possibleOriginally posted by ZMAtic View Post...
My bike finds reserve point anywhere randomly...Actually it's supposed to come to reserve on 2 liter left in tank, but in reality it comes to reserve on 1 ltr on 05 ltr left in tank...How's that?Originally posted by abhichotu.abhi View PostI did'nt told that my bike could'nt touch 130+, i only told that i did'nt dared to go above 115kmph.
The method I try is, Fill 100rs petrol and set the trip meter to 0, then i ride the bike(assuming average of 50kmpl) upto 90kms and then follow the same method. This method has done wonders for me, now, i didnot have to push the bike to prtrol bunks.

Please read my this old post :
Share what you think about the motorcycle you own or have owned in the past.
although I pulled this number out of nothingOriginally posted by rennycornelius View Post ...lubing the chain increases high end...
Let me explain : lubing the chain will decrease the resistance which in turn helps engine to rev a little more..
e.g,. if you can hit max 9.5 k on completely pulled accelerator, after lubing the chain it can hit 9.7 k
Decreasing the resistance is can be considered as reducing rider's weight
What oil man? I'm talking about the PREMIUM PETROL CALLED SUPER from shell petrol pump company...here in pune it costs Rs. 64.50 per liter...and seriously it is worth every penny.Originally posted by rennycornelius View PostNO again.
EVEN SHELL dont know they manufacture an oil which provides 5kmph boost in top speed.
the leaning I'm talking about is complete leaning on tank where there is only an inch is left between your helmet and the handle and even you are looking through the visor of the bike...meaning your whole belly n chest is laying on tank and you have got complete flat back for great aerodynamics and increased stability...It definitly increase top end by more than 10 and I have tested it may timesOriginally posted by rennycornelius View PostComment

So According to your "theory", if i'am gonna lube my chain, put that shell petrol i'll be adding 10kmph in my top speed....Originally posted by lockhrt999 View Post

That kinda difference K&N doesnt make man.
Even if you glue your helmet to the handle and your belly to the tank you can never add 10kmph in your top, indian bikes and here in case PULSAR is not tested in wind tunnel, it's fairing gives a damn in cutting drag,it's not at all aerodynamically made, so even if you do all that stuff, it wont nudge a speedo into the the figures you have quoted.Originally posted by lockhrt999 View Post
you are having some serious speedo errors there.Last edited by rennycornelius; 04-19-2010, 11:26 AM.The Magician"

1. chain lubing- W90 gear oilOriginally posted by paths_of_glory View Post
2. engine oil - Till 2500kms stick to SC oil.
3. brake oil - DOT 4(i think)
4. tyre pressure - 28-F, 32-R
5. chemical for cleaning bike - Any good car\bike shampoo.

@lockhrt99: The only thing tucking does is that it protects you from the wind blast. Your body does not have to fight with the equally fast wind and hence you get more comfortable on higher speeds.
But be carefull when taking corners on high speeds while tucking coz you un-intentionally tend to lean more while tucking.
+ rather than lubing the chain and using premium petrol's that cost some 60-70rs...try using a 38-40 T rear sprocket if you guys are totally intrested in top end...Im personally using 38 on my pulsar180 v1...it does a lot of justice to the bike as I have to commute on nh everyday.No Drugs, No Alcohol, No Gamble,
JUST BIKESthe only addiction i needComment
