  • I think I need to clarify some of the things.

    1. Review : By new bikes I mean those bikes who are just brought out side of the showroom for testing which have just 20-50 kms on odo and these bikes are definitely not as fast as the bike who has clocked 2000

    2. I'm sorry I didn't mean reviews are unreliable, I just meant the numbers mentioned like top speed or fuel economy are not true. There is a hell lot of difference between just 20-50 km clocked bike and 2000-5000 clocked bike. I apologies
    I have all three review printed. Those were the last thing which made me finalize my decision of buying pulsar 180. And I really do appreciated the efforts involve in to have such great expertise of Bike Tester that I just can only dream

    3. If we assume that we are hitting anything like 140- 150 on speedo and not going beyond actual speed of 120 Then there is a very good reason to say that pulsar 220 also can't go beyond 120 as it has got same tyre same rim same speedo..If P180 can't go beyond 120 then p220 also does not go beyond 120 as it uses same speedo and tyre

    4. There is no such thing as bad calibration or good calibration in case of digital speedometer...The calibration can't be changed. only analog stuff has calibration setting. 20 or 200 years old digital speedo will remain as accurate as new one.

    5. All above stuff written by me consists practical data. It even contains actual numbers and actual circumstances. I haven't created those number up by myself...its practical data...There is a line between what you heard or what you read or what you thought and what's really happened !!!

      Please change the topic...

      @Abhi teri saari problem solve ho gayi kya ya teri bike mein aur koi new problem nahin aa rahi please place the concern or any problem immediatley on this thread so as to "Move On" ...

      I do have an issue with my bike...Once only 2 liters left in tank it's supposed to come to reserve right?...mine doesn't, it runs on main till you have only 200-400 ml fuel left...

      any one of you experiencing the same?

          why cant the P220 go above 120 Kmph its a full 40 cc more with more BHP and torque.what connection does a P180 top speed have with a P220

          • Woah! this place has become a warzone and it's because of me

            Stop it guyz ,it's not an issue at all at least for me.

            @ayson--i own ug3 but sorry no idea about crash guard prices
            @abhi-before the launch of ug4 all here were ug3 owners and are still there but not active

              .....
              im not here to argue with any one.im just trying to point out that you may hit a 150 plus on the speedo but true speed cannot be more than 120-125ish...

              If you are claiming that 180 can't go beyond 120 despite showing 150 or anything because of speedo error then by your theory indirectly you are also claiming that P220 can't go beyond 120 as it shares same speedo same tyre so same speedo error

                you really need to understand what im trying to say.

                each vehicle has a set top speed which it cannot exceed under normal conditions.
                every instrument need not have the same error.

                p180 top speed is 125 Kmph
                p220 top speed is whatever but more than that.

                just because they use the same speedo doesn mean the p220 wont go faster.what kind of logic is that ? so if you fit the pulsar speedo on an activa then by your theory indirectly you are also claiming that activa will also go to 120.

                vehicles can share the same speedo but a more powerful vehicle will obiously attain a higher speed.

                  revtech is right here lock,p220 has same speedo,same tyre,same error but not same ENGINE,it is ofcourse,more powerful than p180's engine,has more horses under its belly so obviously it has higher top speed than 180,p220's true top speed would be something around 135 while the speedo showing 145.

                  • @ revtech & @ ceaser : guys you either didn't read my posts thoroughly or you didn't understand them..
                    I'm trying to say that if 130 on speedo is actually 120 then 140 on speedo can't be 120 too...140 is obviously faster than 130..
                    I'm sick of telling people these pulsar speedos are digital and they can't be calibrated/adjusted/tampered nor they can made more worse
                    Only magnetic speedos can be adjusted
                    and second thing is that they do not start showing any random value once we reach 120...it's just impossible.

                    @revtech : 1. top speed is 126 in manual
                    2. bikes are not locked to any specific speed...According to manual pulsar180 it gets switched off automatically after 10.5 k RPM and at that RPM bike can go upto ~ 136 kph on speedo.
                    So if we divide 136 by error constant 1.079 we get 126.04 ... see? speedo doesn't show any random value..
                    please read this post carefully at least

                        or wait is that UNRELIABLE as well ?

                        if you jus agreed with me when i said the top speed was 125 Kmph and asked you to check the manual we wouldnt be having this discussion.

                        so i guess we can put an end to this discussion now after coming to the conclusion that the top speed of the bike is 125 Kmph.

                            I read it from service manual of PG3...PG4 has got to be little high

                            Misunderstanding or misreading again
                            I wasn't talking about top speed...You said that speedo shows random values after reaching 120 << that's what I was talking about...I have proved that these speedos are consistent and reliable...
                            I hate this word 'unreliable' : in autocar magazine highest speed is 111.
                            as HS of pg3 is 126 from manual pg4 is supposed to reach 129-130 as it has got whole 1 bhp more..

                            you got it all wrong it from me...I was trying to say that if you divide speedo number by 1.079 you get actual(speed gun) speed
                            very simple

                              that's right, pulsar180 has 17.02 British horse power and karizam has just 16.8 British horse power

                                dude, no offence but i guess BHP stands for Brake Horse Power and not British Horse Power as mentioned by you
