Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS – What is Triple Spark Technology?

Posted on May 21, 2012 by melwin23

Along with the announcement of the new Pulsar 200NS,came a new technology named Triple Spark technology. Which is being used in the new bike. In simple words, the triple spark technology is nothing but a engine with 3 spark plugs housed in it.

To make use of 3 spark plugs, the pulsar engine houses a pent roof combustion chamber which in turn allows to house 3 spark plugs in the engine chamber. Out of the three plugs, the primary plug is the center one and is mounted in an angle and enters the chamber at the top-center. The other two secondary plugs are mounted below, each opposite each other and one of them being vertically underneath the primary plug.
The secondary plugs fires a bit after the primary one has fired and the timings are controlled by the ECU depending on various parameters like throttle position, engine revs,load on engine and many other stuffs. According to Bajaj, these plugs gain a advantage in low-rev riding condition where it extracts the best economy.Compared to KTM Duke 200 in similar conditions it gives as much as 10-13kmpl more,however the difference vanishes at higher revs and high speed.

The new Bajaj Discover 125 ST – Unveiled

Posted on May 14, 2012 by melwin23

The new Discover 125 ST debuts with a 4 valve 125 cc DTSI mill that produces 13 PS of power and 1.1 kgm of torque. This bike has same power to weight ratio as the last gen Pulsar 150 UG3 and thisalone speaks about how quick the bike is. The ST here stands for Sports Touring but we don’t have much of hopes of this bike being a Suzuki Bandit rival. However, stupid name apart, the bike looks all set to take the Bajaj ahead into the future of Indian biking.

Bajaj definitely understands the pricing bit and like most other Bajaj bikes, the Discover 125 ST too comes with a reasonable price tag. The price for the all new Discover has not been disclosed yet but the bike hits the showrooms in second half of June.

KTM 690 Duke Track

Posted on May 6, 2012 by melwin23

KTM will produce a limited edition Track version of its new 690 Duke, based on the machines competing in the 2012 KTM-sponsored European Junior Cup (EJC).

KTM 690 Duke Track

Following on from the success of the RC8 R Track, the 200 examples are to have the same specification as the EJC bikes that will see riders from more than 13 Nations battle across eight rounds as a support race for the World Superbike Championship.

KTM 690 Duke Track

Priced under € 10,000 and not homologated for road use, the 690 Duke Track is fitted with a host of KTM PowerParts, bespoke items and modifications to some standard parts to make truly a formidable circuit weapon – losing 10kg over its 150kg road counterpart and gaining 9hp.

KTM 690 Duke Track

The power increase – on what is already the most powerful production single cylinder motor – is achieved from a full titanium Akrapovic exhaust, modifications to the airbox and PowerParts camshaft with a bespoke fuel map.

Ergonomic changes come from a PowerParts seat – firmer, higher and more room for the rider to change position on the bike. PowerParts foot pegs increase ground clearance and move feet back and up while narrower Renthal handlebars took the hands in closer to a race position.

KTM 690 Duke Track

The slim chassis and lightweight subframe remains standard, but with ABS not required for track use, this is replaced with a new four-pad radial Brembo caliper and master cylinder helping to bite down on a thicker front disc.

New WP front forks raise the Duke 15mm higher and offer full adjustment and the preload only rear shock from the road bike is replaced by a fully adjustable WP item.

Developed in conjunction with KTM R&D, the European Junior Cup and KTM Street Ambassador, Jeremy McWilliams, the bike in EJC guise is already proving to be a formidable track machine delivering big riding kicks. As a bonus, the 690 Duke Track is also frugal on fuel – drinking only 7 litres per 100km of regular unleaded in testing!

7)Metal and plastic bits including the rear mudguard appear to be of high quality and remained intact after the rough ride .Somthing never expected from an Indian brand.

8) Overall lightness came handy around muddy corners.

9)Small ‘take-offs’ are a breeze.Thanks to the Duke’s low power-to-weight ratio.

10)The raised rear mudguard aided smooth landings.Perfect fun.

CONs

!)Custom Rim stickers didn’t last.Need to check the OE quality though.

KTM 200 Duke – OFF-ROAD TEST / REVIEW

2)Engine check light came on several times after one hour of ‘serious use’.Need to take it to service center soon.

3)Tyre design/grip isn’t favorable for offroading,but works fine on tarmac.

4)The rear end/tyre felt almost ‘absent’ while braking hard.Forward biased weight distribution could be the culprit.

KTM 200 Duke – Overview

KTM and Bajaj have launched their first bike ‘200 Duke’ in India on 24th January, 2012 . It will also be launched in Malaysia and Brazil very soon. Bajaj-KTM has priced 200 Duke very competitively at Rs. 1,17,500 (Ex-showroom New Delhi). The bike looks sporty, feels sporty, and don’t go by the 200cc engine, because this monster generate 25 Bhp of maximum power and around 19.2 Nm of maximum torque, which is much higher than the normal 200cc commuter bikes available in India, which deliver 15 to 18 Bhp of maximum power. It is also expected that Bajaj-KTM will also launch a 250cc or 300cc version of Duke in near future. This bike will be sold at the 34 Bajaj Pro-biking showrooms which were converted into exclusive KTM showroom recently. Bajaj will continue selling Kawasaki Ninjas alongside the Duke range but the Pulsar and other Bajaj bikes will not be available at these showrooms, they will be now available at all the authorised Bajaj outlets.

The reports says that Bajaj motors is aiming to fix the price of KTM Duke 200 around 1.17 lakhs which is still on the higher side. This will be achieved by borrowing some of the spare parts used in the successful Pulsar series bikes. It is expected that Bajaj KTM Duke 200 will have the clutch and front brake lever of Pulsar 200 NS. Despite of the other high end components used, the price of KTM Duke 200 doesn’t seems to be nominal.

PULSAR 200 NS- New pictures and update

Posted on January 31, 2012 by melwin23

Whew. She’s here. Finally. It was worth the wait.

The new Bajaj Pulsar 200NS ( Naked Sport ) to be priced at less than a Lakh Rupees, will be powered by a water cooled 200cc mill, with 4 valves and triple spark plugs. The triple spark plug leads to a 50% increase in combustion speed, said Mr. Joseph Abraham, Chief Technology Officer, Bajaj Auto. This in turn leads to a Lower Brake Specific Fuel Consumption ( fuel consumed for 1KW output for one Hour), fuel Consumption improvement between 10% to 17% and a peak power of 23.5 PS at 9500 rpm and torque of 18.5 Nm at 8000 rpm. Redlined at 10500 rpm, the new Pulsar is sure to be the street fighter its always been.

The Bajaj Pulsar 200NS is to be launched in the next fiscal.

The new Pulsar 200NS drops the traditional down tube steel frames for a pressed steel perimeter beam section frame with rectangular tube section swing arm that lead to a lateral stiffness that is three times more rigid than the previous gen Pulsar 220. The Nitrox Monoshock with the piggybacking gas canister ( oh, Bajaj ) and the 280mm petal disc up front, with the Bybre floating caliper and the 230mm disc at the rear aid handling.

Specifications of Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS :

Displacement : 199.5cc Single Cylinder SOHC Engine

Max Power: 23.4 BHP @ 9500 RPM

Max Torque: 18.3 Nm @ 8000 RPM

6 speed gearbox

4-valve compression technology

Brakes:

Front : 280mm Disc

Rear: 230mm Disc

Suspension:

Front : Telescopic forks with antifriction bush

Rear : Nitrox monoshock with a piggyback gas canister

Tyres Front and Rear: 100/80 R17 & 130/70 R17

Ground Clearance: 167mm

Wheelbase: 1363mm

Fuel Tank Capacity: 12 Litres

Kerb Weight: 145 kg

Mileage: 55 – 60 KMPL

Missing though are the fantastic 55W head lamps with the projector. The Pulsar 200NS uses HS1 35/35W headlamps without projectors! A Bajaj exec assured us that was in store for us when they bring out the faired version of the new gen Pulsar.

For the first time on an indigenous motorcycle, the exhaust is mounted centrally for better weight distribution. Performance figures are as follows :

Top Speed 136 kph

0-60 kph 3.61 sec

0-100 kph 9.83 sec

Braking Distance 16.33 m, which is a metre lesser than the previous generation Pulsar 220.

PULSAR 200 NS – UPDATED PICTURES

Posted on January 30, 2012 by melwin23

Bajaj has revealed the latest generation of its popular Pulsar motorcycle in 200cc guise, dubbed the Pulsar 200NS.

The Pulsar 200NS (Naked Sports) uses a liquid-cooled, 199.5cc four-valve SOHC carbureted engine with a new triple-spark-plug system, coupled with a six-speed gearbox. The engine now produces 23.18bhp at 9500rpm and 1.86kgm of torque from 8000rpm. Bajaj claims the new Pulsar 200NS can hit 0-60kph in 3.61sec and 0-100kph in 9.83sec. The chassis now gets a pressed steel perimeter frame and a rectangular tube-section swingarm, which the company claims offers over three times the

lateral stiffness of the old Pulsar 220’s frame. It also employs a gas-filled monoshock suspension and a central exhaust, for better balance. There are petal disc brakes front and rear, measuring 280mm and 230mm respectively, and 17-inch alloy wheels.Speaking on the occasion, K Srinivas, President-Motorcycles, Baja Auto said, “Pulsar has now celebrated a ‘Decade of Dominance’ with 10 years of leadership in the Indian performance motorcycle market. The Pulsar 200NS showcases next leap in technology and design and will set the standard for others to follow. We believe that 2012-13 will be an exciting period where Bajaj Auto will excite customers both here and abroad.”
