Thanks Rossiter. Next time around in Delhi, buzz me and we can probably get around to cleaning up my Cat Con too.

In the meanwhile, let us clean up the K&N filter that has accumulated filth over the past 3000 kms.

To open the filter, please refer to the post here:
http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/134990-post26.html

Tools required will be the same. Over and above that, you will need to have the K&N filter cleaning Kit.

1.Once you got the dirty filter in your hands... here is a photo of the dirty filter and the detergent spray from the cleaning kit.


2.Liberally spray the detergent all over the filter and let it soak for a good 10 minutes. Make sure that it is not "too" long that the detergent starts to dry up on the filter:


3.Thoroughly wash the filter with a clean cold water mild spray, directed from the clean side to the dirty side of the filter.



4.Let the air filter dry naturally. Do not heat the filter to dry faster. Make sure the filter is completely dry. This normally takes a good couple of hours in peak summer.

5.Take the Oil Filter Oil pack from the kit.


6.And spray the oil liberally on the filter till all of the white filter paper appears pink.


Some filter oil packs may come in tubes. You have to do the same.

7.Re-install the filter as shown in the link posted at the beginning of the post.

Turn the ignition key and thumb the starter. Rev the throttle and hear for the change in breathing. She breathes easier.

Go for a ride!

@mash: Yes, this thread has gone dormant.

I'll be contributing a few things here soon.

In the meantime, hope Ken and the others have something up their sleeve(s)

I have some questions on servicing issues:
1.) What amount exactly incurs on the service of these superbikes ???If done at our own and if at the service center, both??
2.) Does it vary from bike to bike,like Busa,Gixxer,R1,ducati etc. etc??Not about cruisers
3.)What are the tyres cost?? after how many kms they need a change??

They are quite variable. You might find some answers here: Superbikes: A new way of life

Have you got the EXUP cables adjusted? Rossiter has done it, and even I've done a fair bit of reading.

Check your PM.
