that's what i'm thinking too...
don't see any other issues that could come up while doing the mod tho.

what i don't want to see happen is having to add those ugly blocks under the mainstand... once the new swingarm & suspension is in place.

^^ my orbital wheel P180.

and dunno if i posted this before...


IMAGE HOSTED ON TINYPIC

^^ put on a pair of projectors. from an E series.

i still have to add on HID lights.

At pavan and xionite,
Quick question for u two.. I decided to put on Zapper vyde 120\80 on stock rim and swing arm. Will this be good choice or shall i look for 110\80 ? I dont want my handing to get affected..

The yellowish kinda light is not good. Would look great when the hid and projectors comes.

wow i missed a hell lot of discussion. well it was me prabhakar was talking about. Out here in the probiking workshop, there's a service engineer who owns a ug3 pulsar150 that looks quite a lot like 200. Modifications he did are pulsar200 swingarm, zapper 120/80, 180ug4 chain and split grab rails and pulsar200 exhaust. Don't remember if he has changed the rear sets as well. If you guys wanna switch to 200 or 180ug4 or 220 swingarm, here is a list of must converts:
the swingarm(must) ,
chain from the any of the above series(trust me, you'll need this),
shockabsorbers from the above series(optional), and
rear sets(optional but incomplete without this). And guys it is a completely wrong notion that handling will get worse with longer swingarm. If it was so then costlier bikes would have had wheelbase smaller than the ones comparatively cheaper or of less capacity. Always remember, bigger the wheelbase, better handling specially while cornering. The gearing ratio will however become a bit taller and you might feel a very slight reduced acceleration. However, theoritically with taller gear ratios, highway mileage is expected to increase and city mileage decrease however this will be(if it happens) won't be much.

^^^

The swing arm increases the wheel base that will be useful for stable highway rides but i think they are talking about handling in city. The bike will become less flickable in traffic.

yes it will loose the peppy but will give you a big bike feeling. Will feel like a new beast that requires to be tamed. for example my first bike was hero honda cd100ss. Peppier than any other commuter available now. Perfect commuter. After that my upgrade was pulsar220dtsi sf. a whole new world. first few hundred kilometers it was really a trouble handling in city but now, i can ride without even thinking much in city. Trust me it will just take few days to settle yourself with the new settings. That's it. Nothing else. Handling in city will also feel way improved than before after that.

another Indonesian mod,,these guys r just awesome

Kuch bhi I know the real reason ladki ne Red joota kya pehna tune fatak se photu chipka diya

i've bought a P200 swingarm.

hmmmmm. it's interesting you should say this.

i'm thinking adding a few extra links to my existing should do the trick.

coz if i put on a P200 chain... it would be best if i changed the sprockets too.
and that seems unnecessary.

are you saying that "i have no choice but to put on a P200 chain too"
(and if i don't the mod won't turn out too good?? )

or are you simply saying...

"i'll need to add quite a few extra links to my existing chain??"



already bought P200 rear suspension too.

have P200 rearsets on my bike since Feb 2007.
so no work to be done here.

the only reason i'm talking about the handling getting messed up is...
the P180UGIII doesn't have the same frame that the P180UGIV/P200/P220 have.

which means... the flickablility/handling of the bike, (in my opinion) can & will be affected.
how much? well... that's what i'm about to find out.
i start this mod this (saturday) morning... i'm hoping everything turns out OK.


this is another reason i've stayed away from this mod...

anyways... i've had these parts lying around for over a year now...
so i guess it's "testing time"


the existing list of mods on my bike are.

- P200 rearsets
- P200 grabrails
- P200 split-seat
- P200 120 rear tyre
- R15 fairing etc. ()
- custom/after-market handlebar

upcoming mods...
- rear fender mod (P135/custom)
- P200 swingarm
- P200 rear suspension
- P220 camshaft
- paintjob

Suggestion about yzf r15 modification,can help?

I have r15 sunset red. What could be possible rim coluring for it and other modification.

no i'm saying this as 180ug4/200/220 chains are tougher compared to 180ug3. Adding links to chain is a complete no no as it reduces the chain's strength way way too much. It's not essential to change sprockets also right now. Just get the chain. Ya i know the entire chain sprocket set will depleaded faster but that will take atleast more 15000-20000 kilometers minimum right? You won't want to have such a good looking bike stall somewhere in the middle of the road because of torn chain and walk back home(simpler situation) or meet a severe accident(severe situation) and moreover you have modified your ride with r15 fairing so no question of insurance also. be on the safer side dude. When you're spending so much, why not a bit more? If you feel comfortable changing the sprockets also the change it. Safety comes first. But don't take 200 chain sprockets. You're 180ug3 stock sprocket configuration is 15/44 and 200 is 14/37 as far as i remember. That will make the gearing way tall for you. Try 180ug4 14/39. A friend of mine just got them installed. Ratio is ok.

ofcourse it will but i don't think it will much as the service engineer is running the setting since a year or so. He never mentioned any handling issues. He just said few days he felt the bike was a bit hesitant to respond in well in city but he also said now everything is settled. Try and see. I don't think there will be much drop in handling(if it does) since you're adding the shockabsorbers as well. Plus you have the r15 visor so go ahead. It will suit your ride i'm sure. best of luck.

i've added about 3/4 links to my chain before... didn't have any issues then.

costs are not why i'm trying to cut here...don't mind changing the sprockets.
but... it's the taller gearing that i'm worried about.

the differences between the P200 n 180 are unacceptable for me.
it would mean a noticeable drop in "performance"

this is what i just found out this morning.
have ordered a P180UG1V chain/sprocket(s) set.
will only get it next friday tho... so my mod's on hold for now.

thanks for the inputs.

Dude Awesome job, just tell me which bike belly u have used?

that's from an R15.
