Ï
What are the advantages / Benefits of the digital speedometer apart from giving
accurate reading?
B
This system is totally contact less & no mechanical transmission of drive from wheel to
speedometer is available. Thus this system is totally maintenance free & lasts for the life of
the bike.
Ï
How the digital fuel indicator meter works? OR How one can understand the available
fuel level in the fuel tank? OR How to read the graphical bar of the fuel meter?
B
Graphic bar with 12-segment display is provided in the speedo console for indicating fuel
level in the tank. If the all the 12 segments of a bar graph are 'ON', that indicates that the
fuel tank is full.
B
As the float gauge in the tank starts lowering down due fuel level coming down, the
segments of the bar graph starts diminishing with corresponding drop in fuel level.
B
When the petrol level comes down to below four liters, all the segments of the bar will
vanish.
B
Apart from LCD graph bar, a red warning light also has been provided in the console that
glows continuously when the petrol level falls down to reserve. And it will be 'ON' till petrol
is filled above reserve level.
Ï
When the digital fuel meter is available, why the red warning light is provided?
B
While the LCD graphical bar segments indicates the petrol level in the fuel tank, the red
warning light continuously reminds the rider to fill the petrol.
Ï
Why two trip meter reading option is given? How is it useful?
B
It is just to enable the rider to count reading for two different trips unlike only single trip in
case of conventional type.
B
It is like this - on selecting 'Trip1' its will indicate the distance covered in first trip that is
set for. In continuation, on selecting 'Trip2', it will indicate the distance covered in the
second trip. Then if one wants to know the cumulative distance covered in first & second
trip, it can be found in 'Trip1' mode. For this one has to just press/select 'Trip1' mode.
B
This is an added advantage taken from digital technology!
Ï
What do Self-canceling Indicators switches means?
B
In conventional type of switches, the rider has to manually depress or turn knob of
indicator switch for putting 'OFF' the indicator bulbs. In case of this Self-canceling'
switches the indicator goes off automatically after the rider takes a turn & brings the
handle bar straight. This feature is similar to cars. That means, rider do not have to press
or turn the switch to cancel the indicators.
Ï
What if one switches ON the indicator and do not physically take a turn? Will it work
in such situation?
B
Yes. Of course. When the rider selects a right or left turn indicator, but changes his mind
and physically do not take a turn, the indicators turn 'OFF' automatically after pre-set time.
For this a timer function is incorporated in the system. And the timing for this timer is set
around 80 seconds.
Ï
What does non-contact Handlebar switches mean?
B
The control switches on both sides of the handlebar are conventional to look at, in terms
of switch operations & knob position etc. But the key & distinguishing difference is the
principle of functioning that means these switches do not function on the basis of physical
contact for ON & OFF. These are on non-contact sensor based.
B
This feature will have any wear and tear & hence its life would be more than the life of the
bike. These are absolutely maintenance free as far as wear & tear is concerned.
B
The other feature, in these switches is the Illumination of the tell-tale icons that is lit up
with LEDs inside the switch body. This gives the icons a pleasant bluish white glow that
can be seen in the night clearly & coolly.
Ï
The tail lamp assembly seems to be too special. What is so in that?
B
Yes. The tail lamp is unique on this vehicle and no other competitor's vehicle has this
feature. It consists of 16 (8) nos. of LED bulbs with bi-filaments.
B
The specialties of LED bulbs are
-
Consume very low current
-
Glow brightly
-
Last far long
-
Totally maintenance free
B
So, the LED tail lamp apart from delivering fantastic performance, it adds to aesthetics.
Ï
What is this bi-filament bulb?
B
Bi-filament bulb means these LED bulbs have two filaments in each bulb. One filament of
lower wattage for parking lights & another for brake lighting, which is of little higher
wattage.
Ï
If so much so electrical /electronic appliances are loaded, it may affect on Battery?
B
Absolutely not. In fact, all the bulbs & backlit bulbs in the Speedo console (except Head
Lamp bulb & pilot bulbs) are of LED type. Few of them works on AC & few are on DC i.e.
battery. So there is hardly any drain on the battery as compared to conventional type of
bulbs.
B
Moreover, the Battery of this new Pulsar 180 is special & maintenance free.
Ï
What is this maintenance free Battery?
B
The battery is new development in DC system on two wheelers (in fact, such batteries are
introduced in cars earlier than bikes) it is different than the conventional one in the material
composition it is made up of. The main features of this new battery are
- Electrolyte level checking is required at every one year instead of every fortnight
- The unique vent mechanism that do not allow loss of electrolyte
- No drainpipe unlike in conventional type battery. So no chances of spillage of electrolyte.
B
So, in all it is almost maintenance free battery. Moreover, the LED bulbs, & disable
function of cranking after 3 successive self starts attempts, will further only enhance the
life of the battery.
