Hi,

I am from Kolkata and I am owning a Hunk since October 2008. Till date I have done 10k km on it... Every alternate Saturday I put my Hunk in NH 2 or NH 6 for Highway power drive. Around 250km is the total return trip value..

In that 250km, most of the time I ride at 8k or 9k RPM, thats the highest my hunk at stock settings go.

Thing that I want to know that as my speedo reports me 120k some time hence is it right ?

Those bike experts whom I know locally considers my speedo is reporting wrong value, and I have changed my speedo 3 times, but in all cases I have seen in highway and at 9k RPM it does show 120k !!!

So is there anyway to get this speedo to show right value ??

Thanks.

P.S. Thats my Hunk,

@Choto Cheeta: First off, your ID is terrific - pure bong!

Secondly, you have wasted your money getting the speedo console changed for absolutely no reason whatsoever. The HH Hunk has an analogue speedo which will show a little "positive" speeds than the true speed. Generally 8 - 10% (or perhaps more) difference will be there in the speedo read and the actual, true speed.

Hi Aryan,

Proud to be a bong..

Anyway thanks for the early reply

But my point is not getting changed, How do I fix it ?

I know Bajaj at Bawanipur has a dyno to test the bikes in ramp, i went there with a friend to see if I can put my Hunk on their Pro-biking dyno, but they didnt allow...

Any one knows is there any HH service center in Kolkata has a Dyno or such to tune the speedo ?

Its looks really bad if it reports wrong

I could not test side by side of a P180 or Appache to see if my speedo and their is the same or not, but tested along side of P150 and I can see P150 is not getting over 109, hence after that I am unable to compare as the hunk seems to go beyond that 109

Would try today again as a friend has promised to bring his RTR which has a Digital meter hence would test in few hours to see if the hunk can really do 120 or not...

Thanks.

But do bikes with digital meters report the correct speed? Does anybody know for sure? Most bikes speedometers are known to about +10% error... but dunno if that applies to digital speedos.

Choto-Cheeta : Do u mean to say u wish to calibrate your speedo-meter for it to show the true speed reading? But why? Almost every bike (or car) has a speedometer error to the tune of 5-8%. The Hunk does a best of around 110km/h (true speed), and that translates into around 120 on the clock.
Recalibrating it will be difficult. What however u can do is fitting a slightly higher profile front tyre. Fitting a taller tyre reduces the speedometer error. This mod can help u

@ wonderboy. i expected to touch the 10K RPM in 5th gear & wasnt much concerned about the speed as 10K RPM will automatically put me in 110 kmph..

now here's another Q:
-for how long i can run my hunk on its max speed, without stressing the engine?
~i ride 45-50kmph in city & dont do any sudden accelaration & change gear when the RPM reaches 4K. is it a good practice?
thx 4 ne help

Hi,

I can reach 10k RPM but bike cant maintain it for long, however I have seen 9k RPM can be maintain non stop...

How far ?

I can do this for 90 to 100 km non stop and cover that distance within 50 to 55 mins

, bike does fine..

Now I am sure, it puts hell lot of a strees on my hunk, but as its a 4 month old and only done around 11k km, i guess thats why I cant feel any difference though...

How many times ?

Well not every day though, I do this every, alternate saturday.. apart from day, I ride my hunk around 80km daily in which I get around 30 km of highway drive in which once again I push it at 9k RPM !!!

What is good practice ?

Me too looking for the answer, what I have seen in practice though with my hunk, if I stay at exact or below 5k RPM and maintain speeds of 55kmph, it gives the best average..

In highway drive I can get 62 and 63 kmpl where in case of city it drops to 50 to 53 !!!

However, when riding at 9k RPM, speeds over 100kmph, fuel economy drops at 28-30 kmpl :lol:

Hi,

I have asked the service center about this, they said modification like this would void the warranty

but dunno if that applies to digital speedos.

My frnd has a P180 which he has tested on the Bajaj pro-biking test ramp and in dyno, he has found that bike speedo is just 2kmph more than the original speeds, in his case which is 121, and bike shows 123..

This is a video he shot with his CAM..

I took my bike to Bajaj Probiking with the issue that the bike doesnt seem to perform satisfactorily on the highway. This is my weekend bike and I use it mos...

One more question from me..

Is these Power fuel which are around Rs. 3 odd costlier than normal unleaded fuel makes any difference ?? Locally, some say yes some say NO.. I am bit confused you know.. Till date I didnt have used the Unleaded apart from the 1st date when getting the bike out of Show room...

**master-user** · 01-26-2009, 11:24 AM

my bike runs only 7~10 km perday. so once or twice in a month i go for highway power drive where i do 200~250kms in round to keep the bike engine free. in highway i do 80~95km based on incoming traffic.
my bike is 4 months old n odo reads 3K KMS till now and in stock settings.
the question is in still pending... whats the best practice? (im not concerned abt milage)

**sarbanoxley** · 01-26-2009, 12:36 PM

Someone posted the idea of changing to top gear while u r doing 80KM in 4th. Thanks to that someone now my new CBZ xtreme reaches 110KM/HR almost effortlessly since i can give more throttle i have seen it reach 118KM/HR and still have throttle left

.
Me cruise @ 100km/hr since i live on the highway i dont need to use the brake for 60km(no traffic) i maintain this speed for over an hr.
My bike has done 4300km.For the 1st 3000km i never crossed 4k RPM

.
Can i use CASTROL power 1 racing fully synthetic oil ? will it increase the life of the engine since i maintain high speed for long time

.

**Raccoon** · 01-26-2009, 04:08 PM

^^^Nopes! Power 1 racing is not of the viscosity required for CBZ-x. Don't use anything unless its 10W30.

OOPS! i bought one for Rs650 can i atleast try it

.will it harm the engine

I heard the bike would go like a rocket

thats why i bought one

**Raccoon** · 01-26-2009, 05:19 PM

I woudn't try it if I were you. Try and get it changed for something else. And instead of Castrol, why not try Motul? But I don't think you will get 10W30... but you can try. For v good VFM, try the new Gulf (pentac something). Its not fully synth though. See the oil thread for more.
