What is the expected percentage increase in power, I feel as if it is more than 15%. The bike shoots from zero to sixty almost as good as or even better than apache 160. The 80 to 120 acceleration also seems good, better than apache. Today I reached a speed of 125kmph on gps and 123 on odo(mine shows little less mileage than true i think, or maybe it has become that way after a mishap that I had few weeks ago.)

Hi Ranjith,
Thanks a lot for the info. If you are doing it by yourself then you can use a funnel & tube to drain the oil in this case. Just that you will need to find a way to keep the funnel in position during the draining.
