Why The Pulsar 200 NS Has 3 Spark Plugs?

The Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS is now in its second generation. The Pulsar has taken a massive leap in terms of engine refinement, handling, braking and performance. However some people are not too sure about the technology used in the motorcycle. We have often got questions about why the Pulsar 200 NS has triple spark plugs?
As can be seen in the above picture, the Pulsar 200 NS’ engine has two slave plugs (similar in spec) on either side and one master plug on the top. Twin spark plugs on either side are in-adequate to achieve the combustion efficiency which Bajaj engineers were looking for in the 200 NS. Thus the need for a center spark plug was felt by the engineers. Bajaj says that if the Pulsar 200 NS had only twin spark plugs, the combustion efficiency would be better than single spark plug by 18%. However with triple spark plug the efficiency is better by 27% than the twin spark plugs.
So overall, the triple spark plugs are touted to improve combustion, thereby boosting performance and at the same time maintaining a good fuel economy for the Pulsar 200 NS.
