Well it is so simple to modify a bike - whatever it may

It may be a TVS50 -------- the owner can modify it and make it look like a sports bike

There are two types of modifications

1 - Cosmetic

2 - Performance

Well many prefer the first one - since its all about eyes which attracts more - than the real power

But we XBHpians prefer both - but priority for the performance modifications

There are lot of options you can do in performance modifications -----
it depends upon only one thing

1 - Depth of your pockets

the options are

1 - Sprocketing
2 - K&N
3 - Free Flow Pipe
4 - Upjetting
5 - Re-boring
6 - Nitrogen flyers
more more and more..............

Well i belive if any one needs explanations of the options - reply

Well i really believe in kepping the bike's CC intact, while going about to work around it, to be able to extract the maximum out of that layout without stressing the engine too much, and you would be surprised at how much a bike can do just by making such mods itself, these are some things i would like to see done on my bike

Well modifications can be easily done in a Two stroked bike using expansion chambers
As my friend is doing 140 and above in his RX135 with an expansion chamber

But as far as Four strokers - it costs a lot to Modify the engine - since four strokers has valves and some machinery job to do this

But a 120 doing Pulsar 200 can be made to touch 140 with some descent mods

By the way @themadrussian - waat is the top speed ur getting?

^^ Ahh i've always wanted to ask this, may sound noob but i know little of two-strokes so here are some queries i have
What is this expansion chamber?
How does the two-stroke actually work apart from combining the two strokes (Intake+Compression and Combustion+Exhaust) together? (i heard somewhere that the 2-strokers is similar to diesel engines in some ways during it's compression stages, is this true?

Talking modding my apache 150 with some 160RTR accessories

Hi Guys . I have a red Apache 150cc . I want to replace my speedo and tacho with the digital one present in 160RTR and also i wanna change the backlight to the LED one also same as 160RTR model. I think the backlight wont be a problem but am unsure abt the digital console. What you guys say ?? is it possible?

El Loco, check here to know about two strokes :: HowStuffWorks "How Two-stroke Engines Work". And As far as Diesel engines are concerned, its a totally different system. Do not compare both.
