    Interesting idea about introducing O2 to the air intake, However not one person has mentioned the dangers of oxygen and grease/oil.

    O2 is safe to handle. However when O2 and oil/grease come in contact there is a potential for a explosion. Look down the intake manifold and see if there is any oily film.

    Ask any boilermaker/welder about oxygen and oil/grease. They will tell you these 2 never mix. If you look at the regulator gauges on a O2 bottle (left hand thread as opposed to right hand thread on other bottles) you will see some pictures or writing stating "Use No Oil"

    I'm not putting this project down in anyway, However from a safety standpoint make sure ALL the fittings are clean, free of any grease/oil/hydrocarbons.
    Some fittings are not compatible with the use of O2.

    Be safe out there guys n gals when playing with engines.

      guys.. i dont know how easy or difficult this will be, but i had an idea.. not any different. just maybe a little simpler and easier to test while actually riding on the road.. what i thought was, if someone here has the resources and can get a hold of some pressurized aerosol cans compressed with O2, then that can be connected via a thin pipe which goes into the air intake box beneath the seat.. a small hole can be drilled in the air filter box easily (have done it on mine) and the pipe fitted into it.. then while riding, the aerosol can button can be pressed to see how much actual difference the pure oxygen makes..

      one more thing it discovered is that the opening of the air intake box, that is beneath the seat, is not big enough for the air to be sucked in freely. so what i did was, drill lots of 3 to 4 mm holes on the side of the box before the filter.. so that dirty air doesnt get sucked in.. i drilled atleast 70 to 80 holes at a distance of half a cm each. after that, i started the engine, and put my hand near the holes, just close enough but not covering them.. and as soon as i revved the bike even a little, i noticed that inspite of the stock air intake passage open, a lot of air was getting sucked in from these holes too.. i could instantly feel a slight difference in the responsiveness of the engine.. i wont claim i got some major performance boosts out of this, but i definitely noticed that the engine had to struggle less from lower rpms.. i could ride at lower speeds than before on the 5th gear on my 2003 pulsar.. moreover, although i did feel a little difference throughout the rpms, i couldnt measure it as my speedo's dead. but the tachos working. so i saw that earlier my bike used to struggle to climb rpm's after about 7000 rpm. but now it easily climbed upto 8000 rpm..
      aerosol can and things... no comments... its upto you to decide...
      and about drilling holes.. its same as putting a k&n filter... it will increase the air intake as you have experienced... but the problem is you have to clean the filter so often..unlike k&n which wont clog easily by dust, stock will get blocked soon... for everyday normal ride, maybe once every 15-20days you have to clean to get same performance...

      Mik.. this nos was old idea.. i haven't been working on it for almost an year and is looking for newer ideas... but i haven't ever checked the consequence of o2 and oil.. will look into tht too.. thanks..
