CO - 4.5%
HC - 9,000 ppm

Why is the damn test so lenient?? That means if someone's bike has the above absurdly high readings, it would still pass!! Whats more, they haven't filled up the fields for Nonmethane hydrocarbons and reactive hydrocarbons. Do they normally leave this out??

That said, currently my bike is running on Castrol Power 1 Jet X 2t on auto-lube and have tuned it myself. Hope to test it again after I switch to Motul 510. Hopefully, emissions will drop further.
Man thats some figures you've got.. Yeah even i have my doubts on these testing centres as i have seen them clearing bikes failing the test in turn having their palms greased.
