Hi Joel,

Congrats bro for the successful effort. I guess it will take me an R6 to outrun you + the balls to go damn fast!

Jokes apart, Kindly tell me, Why is a Dyno Run so expensive, just for one run? Is it to justify the 5 Lacs Rupees investment or is it something else that makes its running costs high?

and secondly, Is it possible that someone can make a cheaper self made Dyno, someone knowledge-blessed like you or ..? I mean, something which can measure rotational torque, and then plot it based on rpm's.

@joel have you thought of installing pcIII ,
was going throu the site & saw they had pc111 for r125,i am sure you can put it in r15 (went throu installation pdf & seems the same )
thou the maps they have for it u cant use,
if you have acess to dynojet authorised dyno(which i doubt bangalore has),u can get it custom mapped

tried uploading pdf for r125 pc111 ,could not.

Still haven't got the reply to my PM! :P

doing mods to get extra performnace is okay but this gonna affect the engine durability more or less on the long run.

Check now

i have a simple funda for long run . If the part gets worn out i replace it immediately 80% of all the engine spares are with me .

FYI, Bangalore has a DYnojet dyno and I dyno my bikes on them.
Another FYI, I'm working on an ECU will will decimate a PCIII or whatever fancy piggybacks. The parameters will be one of its kind.

Joel

where is that dyno & do they custom map pcV ,my cousin has got a gixxer 750 which needs mapping

Reviews: All YZF R15's modified by Joel.

well i had stopped riding bikes from 2008 because needed something better when it came to indian bikes. since i have previously owned a comet everything else was a compromise but my frustration began to built up by 6-8months so i decided to buy a bike now the question was which stallion should it be ? so then all the online searches, friends reviews and that made it even more confusing by that time the ninja 250 was already up for booking, gave it a thought, but the problem was i wanted a bike which would be more fun to ride with my biker pals. i know it feels good when every one is on a indian bike and ur on a ninja 250 or Comet but wanted something which i can ride every now and then even to the nearest chai wala and is easy on the pocket if i have a fall (God forbid "touch wood") and is fast enough when i want to rip it. Well finally it was the new P220DTSi for just 80K that was a steal. well then suddenly i came accross joel's thread (Auto Track Magzine R15 shootout) i was bumped now and i had always been a fan of joel since the V-twin fiero + i knew he's reliable and his works are reliable too so i PM'ed joel took all the details took his suggestion which bike to buy he clearly said the R15, then n there i decided that i will pimp my R15 took details from joel about when i can come and get the works done. so 25th Sep got my Yellow R15 did a 1500kms run-in and on 13th Nov i started for bangalore on my R15 2074kms from calcutta via chennai reached bangalore in 2.5days so finally my frustration was over anyways thats a different story coming back to the topic now my bike is just awesome. i weigh 80kgs and i have clocked 148kmph on my R15 well it's really hard to keep up with the RPM's because it hits the rev limiter in just no time. As for the mileage i'm getting a decent 35-40kmpl.

At the end of it all whenever i decide to ring that throttle i have a "huge grin " inside the helmet and i thank joel

Works Done

big Bore 165cc , high compression engine, ported cylinder head with revised flow geometry, alterated ECU settings, modified intake, custom profile camshaft and custom exhaust (Chromed)

thanks for reading guys i'm not much of a writer but tried my best to keep it short and simple

here are the pics of the bike sorry these are the only pics i have after the mods

Topic Approved.

If it is really doing all that it is too good! Nothing more to say or complain.

I so very want to abuse you on the thread you lucky dawg!
Have fun with the souped ride man! and I know exactly how you must be feeling with that grin every time you twist the throttle!

Congratulations man, the exhaust real neat and clean, Joel does a great job.
