    Can pulsar beat zma? It's one of those questions which should not be asked curtly. And you should go around the forum, search a little bit and then come to a conclusion. And if you're not able to find a clear answer then too, well... search again.

    But I can understand that you're new to internet forums, and still catching up with others. So I will share my limited knowledge about ZMA and P220, (which is again garnered from others' words, not personal experience, so please dont bash me if you disagree with something ).

    ZMA can be called best in - Engine refinement, longevity of the engine, stability at 100+ kmph speeds (P220 is quite stable too, maybe not as much as ZMA), cruising (when compared to P220), less vibration compared to P220.

    P220 is best for these features - Revv friendly machine, pickup from a standstill faster than ZMA (since ZMA is more of a relaxed machine), so in cities you can see P220s roaring around and being in the lead when there is a green signal, sporty seating compared to zma. The top speed will vary from one bike to another, so I don't really find this 'top speed' funda sensible.

    At the end of the day it all depends on who's riding and how is his riding. So a ZMA can beat P220, and it can be the other way too. Its a complicated question, so avoid it.

    Personal OT:

    Did my first 50km long ride yesterday. Had washed my bike the night before, waxed it, washed the chain and had applied a lot of castrol bearing grease. This ride was going to break-in the wax and the grease. Rode from Hebbal till Devanahalli (my mind was cluttered and had to do something to flush the brain). Took the NH7 and first rode till Bangalore airport. The deserted, really-long curvy flyover which goes till the airport gave me a chance to lean my bike at 40 degrees at 80kmph for a good amount of time, it was AWESOME (my first time with serious leaning). Effortlessly reached a speed of 120kmph later on, and felt the bike still had lot of power left, but I ran out of good road. Found the bike to be extremely stable at high speeds and it gracefully moves in a straight line. A good (though short) ride, love my ZMA.

        If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be more affiliated to speed rides. My advise is that, kindly avoid speed test with another bike unless you are in a completely armored and in a isolated environment.
        Prashk has already given valuable input earlier. So do keep in mind that ZMA can do speed but not a track bike. God Bless You.

            +1 . If your question is taken wrongly ( caus o da lingo ) then the answer you get will affect your bike negatively .
            Can pulsar beat zma? It's one of those questions which should not be asked curtly.
            If it's just off the block excitement you're looking then go for P220.

            Showroom spec or modified ? Because I hear ZMA R has been over bored to @ 30bhp .

            If your mind is cluttered then better be very cautious - your mind should be on the task at hand .But I know how you feel - there were days when I felt the same and did the same .

                Try 135 first,and rev max, if it revs max without any hiccups,then its fine,if you feel hiccups,then change it to 140.

                      Putting it simply , what you said is true - though if you want the details , the subject is worth an essay ...
                      The gap is not the only parameter - the cleaner the electrodes the better fuel utilization will be .
                      LOL... Never thought i'd be right... The info was something i got at maruthi svc when i went to service my estilo.

                      Yeah bro get it replaced asap, and dont go for hh ones, theyr the cheapest, I saw a customer complaining in svc about how his sparkplug dies just after service.

                      • Are the switchgear same for Karizma, CBZX, hunk and unicorn? coz the fuggs at the HH svc station never keep stock of ZMA spares or choose not to sell..
                        What do I intend to do? Stuff ZMR drivetrain into an Ambition chassis and watch others run scared!

                        • ^^ I know of sure Unicorn's right side switch assembly does not have parking light switch. Not sure of Hunk/CBZX.

                              It might be because your old sparkplug was in very bad condition.

                                A non CV carb depends solely on the throttle twist and jetting and air inlet setup to accelerate...whereas the CV carb responds to the Vacuum input and adjusts to give near correct AFR at most throttle position.The slide of carb in NON CV Carb is directly connected to the throttle cable, whereas in CV the throttle slide is actuated by the Vacuum input it is exposed to,and throttle is connected to the butterfly valve.
                                Street Racing is not encouraged..there are race tracks for it.
