  • 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?
    how important it is to feel strong,
    rather than just being strong.

      NO.
      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.
      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)

          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.

            but isnt the true top speed of the 180 around 115-116 Kmph
            Yes, the true top-speed lies between 115-120kmph.

              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.
              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?

                although I pulled this number out of nothing ...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.

                      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.

                      you are having some serious speedo errors there.

                              • @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.
