[Ownership Thread]: The R15 Garage Thread

[kauria]

What happen guys, lets explain CO first. You supposed to run this thread for only the tech guys na, you need to begin from the beginning.

@all- Boss why don’t you do some googleing about CO stuff?

[pudix]

Petrol is a combination/mixture of hydrocarbons, which are compounds consisting of Carbon and Hydrogen in varying ratios. When a hydrocarbon undergoes combustion, the products normally are water and COO (COO=Carbon dioxide). However, incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons may lead to the formation of carbon monoxide (CO). By incomplete, I do not mean that fuel is wasted; rather the ratio of fuel being burnt to the amount of air(for simplicity, I assume its just oxygen) being used increases.

The combustion of petrol can thus lead to either COO or CO. The ratio of Carbon to Oxygen in Carbon dioxide is 0.5 to 1 while it is 1:1 in Carbon monoxide. Thus, in the formation of CO, the rate of petrol consumption is higher; or in other words, fuel is burnt faster, leading to more thrusts on the piston in the same time. This would translate to a feeling of greater power for the bike, while simultaneously increasing the amount of CO being ejected out of the exhaust pipe. Under normal circumstances, the emission of CO is kept to a minimum as its a poisonous gas, while COO can easily be absorbed in normal processes like photosynthesis, but that's digression.

Cool i like this thread, looking forward for more info from our technical jargon's.

@Satyen, thanks buddy for starting this thread.

Changed the AFR on an R15 with a k&N. Its a stock engine. And the response is much better. Navnish, do u remember that funny bike? LOL
Now, I've just stipped the engine for some engine works. Will assemble tomorrow and probably have a speed check on sunday with my new Speedgun . The bike will be a lot faster than stock.

Just goes to say that the FID helps you by that much in richening the AFR in case of an airfilter mod or say you put some dalda dabba.

how much considerable effect wud be a remapped ECU make???? heard two brothers comin up performance exhuast for the r15 n also some ecu remaps ....

just can forget that funny bike ..... i guess that bike will be in a better shape after you got your hands on it.

Am in for a speed check on Sunday. want to see what figures my stock bike gives

[surbhit]

^^ Has the bike become really loud after removing the cat con?

Ya, will do some testing on that engine tomorrow, some running/temp check etc. And sunday morning we can have some stock v/s modified comparos.
Its gonna be pretty interesting.
get some stock bikes if possible.

If you succeed, can i come down from baroda to Banglore for this tuning ??

[KwokFist]

Damm this is when i hate for not being in Blore! and miss out on all the fun action! hehe

Anyways this is Great news indeed! Awaiting the results from the tests!
