      Thats me on my R15. The side-stand was not removed and it hit the tarmac hard while flicking for the left lean

      This RTR depicted here has a lot more work and the list is quite short in the first post.
      This is the real list of the goodies.
      Fully modified Custom cylinder head with an all new port deisgn.
      Larger CV carb
      Big valve with custom ground and home-made valve springs/retainers
      All new hand crafted valve train components
      Fully custom - Regrind, full race camshaft and makes power till 12500rpm
      Larger cylinder with custom sleeve
      Racing semi-forged and hard anodised piston, milled to spec
      custom head gasket
      Fully tuned race exhaust
      205cc engine capacity
      Stiffened clutch
      custom racing ignition
      12.5:1 - compression ratio
      Revised, taller final gearing
      2.15 x 17 rear rim with 100/80 x 17 tyre

      And a lot more
      Runs on pump gas in street and on speed 97 in race tune.

      A lot of work is pending and the machine and this is just the first state of tune. Have been busy with other tasks and this was finished in a limited time frame. watch for more updates soon.
      V-box figs will be updated in a few days/weeks.

        im speechless man !
        A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

              Its impressive man.....just have a few questions about this ..
              how do you guys make home made retaining springs , i thought you usually imported these things.
              By larger carb, do you mean just the bigger main n pilot jets?
              by using this sleeve, are you able to retain the stock piston
              I believe you will be using the same gasket for street use also, but how will it run on the pump gas then , with a compression ratio of 12.5:1 !!
              taller 4th gear is awesome, i the video posted, killer upshifted to 5th at 135 !! did you alter the gearbox also for this?

              I m so sorry for for so many questions in a post, but i cant resist the curiosity.. I m totally hooked onto this thread hereon...this is drool stuff !!!

              joel, as of now ten10 is not racing with RTR right? any plans for that also next year?

                Yes..i'm running a custom 130main jet

                by using this sleeve, are you able to retain the stock piston
                Its a big bore piston which will not fit into the stock sleeve

                taller 4th gear is awesome, i the video posted, killer upshifted to 5th at 135 !! did you alter the gearbox also for this?
                Gearbox is stock, only sprocketed tall

                            @Varun - A larger carb means, its not a large jet alone. Its a bigger carb with a larger venturi. The bike is now running a really large jet, fyi over 130.
                            About the fuelling, the cylinder head is modified to improve combustion efficiency with an improved and innovative combustion chamber design. It took me a month to finish work on the cylinder head over a year ago. This is the most radical 2-valve head that I have ever worked on and anybody has done in India.
                            Therefore it can run such high compression with normal pump gas and in a race level of tune, will need pure 97 octane. I can run some insane compression with full race gas as well. Thats too much for you guys to comprehend.
