Thanks bro for your info..

 

Anyone you got try this product? How the response?

I dint try Power Ignite.. But kinda regret now, cos the price of it rose quite drastically..

I only fitted PA2 on my SV. Damn good!

how this thing ignite the bike..

Any logic behind it?

Can't seem to find much info on the web

Hope to get some feedbacks from fellow bikers b4 i committ.

I'd really check this thing out before plunking down a lot of money on something that is unknown.

 

But here are a few things that are known.

 

a) The product claims: "Power Abuser is a current stimulator, it pushes the power flow faster then voltage stabiliser." Just what does this mean? How do you 'stimulate' current? What is 'power flow'? And how do you push it faster? The speed of electricity is a well known constant, close to the speed of light in wires, and you CANNOT make it go faster. So, what is this statement saying? Beats me. Sounds scientific but means nothing.

 

b) Then, in another claim it says, "Revolutionary circuit design provides extra energy". So how? To provide extra energy requires a generator or an alternator to be built in. This claim is impossible unless the product contains an energy generating source. If not, it is untrue.

 

c) Like the voltage stabilizer, the product makes lots of unsubstantiated claims on the website http://equip-x.com/powerab.html:

 

* Better lighting visibility

how tested to prove this claim?

* Prolong electronic parts lifespan

how tested to prove this claim?

* Stimulates electric current flow

Scientific sounding but actually meaningless

* Fuel consumption saving

how tested to prove this claim?

* Reduce engine braking

Ths is quite an amazing claim inasmuch engine braking is what happens when you close the throttle and the engine slows you down. So, with the product your engine freewheels easier? I don't think so.

* Improve BHP

how tested to prove this claim? And, isn't it amazing that you save petrol AND get more power?

* Increase torque at low & middle speeds

Not supported by the dyno tests

* Stabilizes idling & improves engine kink-over

Waht is 'kink over'?

* Improve engine response

how tested to prove this claim?

 

d) I, and quite a few others know there can be significant difference between dyno runs, as we learned this when we watchd a voltage stabilizer being tested on my bike (which incidentally had no difference) and others.

 

As others have pointed out, there is virtually no information on the web about this device, no description of how it actually works, no explanation of how it is installed. At the very least I would not buy this product until I know exactly how it does the things it is supposed to do.

All, I have edited the computations below to make them more clear, I hope.

 

IF this device actually works (and that is not at all proven), then let's see how long it would take to recoup the cost of the device based upon its price and a scenario of increased fuel efficicency. The promotor of this product has refused to post a price but since it is "better" than a voltage stabilizer (which was selling for $60), let's use $100 as a round number.

 

I just filled up with Shell 98 and it cost 1.93 per litre with discount. Let's say that I get 30 km/litre. That means it costs me 1.93/30 = $0.0643 per kilometer to ride.

 

Let's say that this device got you 5 percent better fuel efficiency (a very remarkable number). This means that you would get 31.5 km/litre and it will cost you 1.93/31.5 = $0.0613 per kilometer to ride.

 

The savings in $$ per kilometer ridden = $0.0643 - 0.0613 = $0.003... yes, that is a savings of 3/10 th's of a cent per kilometer driven.

 

Now, to see how many kilometers must be driven before recovering the costs of the device, divide the cost of the device by the savings per kilometer, 100 / 0.003 and you get a bit more than 33,000 kilometers that you must drive before recouping your cost.

 

Hey, that's a long way! I'm sure you dispatch drivers pile on the distance but it would take me years to make 33,000 km.

 

And this assumes that the device actually gives an increase in fuel efficiency. Nobody really knows. No real tests have been done, and user testimonials are completely unreliable.

 

Cheers.

Haha ha ha ha:thumb:

Great common sense.

Guess it boils down to Big claims + end user's ignorance = to Big BullS#$t.

I mean how many of us are trained or have some substantional training/knowledge about electrical stuff which are touted as great devices, yet are not manifactured by any reputable company.

Great job strong eagle

your math break down is great:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I just love the looks, feel and sound of an old good Guzzi, though it has been around since the time of my Grandfather. I guess "they" don't do things like that anymore! Well it's not true.

"They" still do URALS
