Tips and tricks For bike stunts


Hi folks, which young biker does not want to do a little bit of show off by performing a stunt in especially when there are some chicks around.So lets start off with a Wheelie first.A wheelie is a bike trick where you bike with the front wheel in the air and the back wheel on the ground. Basically, it's biking on one wheel.

So here we go

first off all things which u would require to perform a wheelie:

1)to start off with you will be needing a motorbike, the more the power(Bhp) the better it is.
2)Proactive gears such as Helmets.Helmet is a Must.
3)Confidence and patience.

here are the tips for doing wheelie

1)Start slow, probably 20-25 KPH is the best to do stunt like wheelie
2)Play with your clutch when trying to boost the speed of your bike, keep your body lean backward a little bit.

3) While you reving up the throttle(accelerator), do a quick release on the clutch and it should bring your bike up.
4)Try to stabilize your bike, don't put too much or too little throttle(accelerator)
5)When you wanna bring down the bike, just press the brake pedal with your right foot, do it slowly so it won't hurt your shock.

Warnings

1)Never attempt any bike stunt without a Helmet.
2)And make sure that there are friends or someone with you when you attempt a stunt incase if something goes wrong.
3)Tires need to be properly inflated and all gears are in good condition.

The headturner new bajaj pulsar 220Dtsfi



Before the introduction of the Pulsar, the Indian motorcycle market trend was towards fuel efficient, small capacity motorcycles (that formed the 80-125 cc class). Bigger motorcycles with higher capacity virtually did not exist (except for Enfield Bullet). The launch and success of Hero Honda CBZ in 1999 showed that there was demand for performance bikes. Bajaj took the cue from there on and launched the Pulsar twins in India on November 24, 2001. The Pulsars excited segments of Indian youth, mainly due to a muscular shape and stylish design[2] as well as its powerful engine (in Indian context) at reasonable fuel efficiency and affordable cost.

Now, the Pulsar has completely took the Indian 2 Wheeler Industry By storm.Now lets talk abt the newly launched Bajaj Pulsar Dtsfi.Here is the specifications:

The bikes like pulsar were always meant to smoke it's tyres, The new 220 dtsfi boosts of a 20 Bhp engine which is capable of a top speed of 135 Kmph.While 0 to 60 is done in under 4 secs which is quite a great effort for an Indian bike.The only bike that can give competition to pulsar 220 is the new hero honda karizma.
