Change the air filter so that u can get power and also mileage...

@viv.nomad - dude how much mileage are you getting that you aren't happy or need more??

best option would be a K&N filter and keep the revs across all gears low.. guaranteed better mileage...

i read on R15 manual that they are using different kind of piston hence i was curious abt the same for unicorn... coz theoretically it will improve both !!

hmmm.. dunno if you could find similar piston...
but you could try getting a "Hard Chrome" job for the piston and cylinder lining... friction drops big time.. thereby improving efficiency alrite!!!

hey guys
doesn't k&n air filters allows more dust into ur carb n den engine?
nd is it nt necessary 2 hv free flow exhaust to allow for increased exhuast of gases as dere will be more gas per exhaustion stroke due 2 more air through k&n air filters

viv.nomad · 05-25-2009, 11:31 PM

brah the filter are used for that very purpose i.e. filter the air from dust particles and supply clean air to carb..

and yes they will increase the amt of good air entering the system!!
