We should have a separate thread called Joell'ed Bikes!

and mine too

Just saw the website! One word for you man: RESPECT.

Also I would like to inquire about the price for the 170cc bigbore block with special racing piston for RTR 160. Might drop by Bangalore sometime

Joel I have sent you a mail. Please reply to it.

Joel,is there by any chance for a free flow air filter for the 220 by race concepts?

The RTR 160 has a diff engine config. Most parts will have to be changed to make it an equal performer. Its better to pick an RTR itself and start off from there. The exhaust is applicable to the RTR FI as well.

Joel,

Do you still work on Apache 150 anymore?? And are you focusing only on the engine or do you have other plans for the rest of the bike? suspension etc?

Also, regarding your kit for the RTR 160, is it applicable for the RTR fi?

I am moving to Bangalore very soon and your 'Race Concepts' seems like a great welcome banner!

cheers!
sai

yes, except the exhaust as it has a different layout.

Upgrades for Avenger 220

Hello Joel sir,

Can the performance upgrades for Pulsar 200/220 be applied to Avenger 220, as both have the same heart.

Happy Posting

Buddy, what is blade angle??? Sorry for this ot, i am unable to send pm but you can reply via pm .
Appologies again.

Regarding the Technical difference between RTR and Pulsar,

I have tons to type, but will just tell you one small tiny difference, if you try understanding this you will get to know why they are completely different.

When you compare an RTRs crankshaft with Pulsar or any other Indian made bike(X r15) you can find the blades not in perfect 180 degrees, it will be slightly inclined at an angle, but for an RTR am not sure about the exact angle in which the blades are inclined. For an R15 it 177.XX obtuse (Differs between batches).

But when you look at a Pulsar or any other bike (X R15) the blades with be in exact 180 degrees.

Do a research and find why this is designed this way and the other things associated with this and you will understand the World of difference between the Pulsar and RTR (And the R15).

I will try giving a clue, the only street bike to sport a cross plane crankshaft is the 2010 R1. So you try understanding What is What.....

Hi princesirohi,

You want to know when a RTR 160 can be upgraded why not Pulsar 150?

I think you got this question because the Bore assembly and crank case looks identical in all Pulsars.

Before getting in too technical.

Its plain and simple,

We all know Pulsar has different variants and if you like a different bore, no need to disturb Joel, you can get it from any Bajaj service center.Try a P220 bore and check out it out, even the self motor will refrain from spinning. Within days the P150 will reach its EOL.

Moreover the Logic is very very simple,

Just collect the Spares chart for all the Pulsar variants and observe it, the Cam, Crank bearing etc etc will slightly differ between Pulsar 150 and 180. P220 has most of its parts different from the P150, this is just to accommodate more compression and heat. Thats the only reason to have a different exhaust as well.

So if you plan to get your P150 Joeled then he has to first convert your P150 into a P220 with its spares and do you think it would be wise to get this done while the Pulsars are the most Cheapest bikes in their class???

Coming to the RTR and P150, I humbly request you not to compare them both. Right from the gearing to clutch assembly the RTR is derived from a Racing perspective. May be in market place you can compare both the bikes in terms of Mileage, Price etc, but technically both are different.

No Offense, lets focus on only the performance upgrades which are meant for the bikes that deserve them.

You are getting Joel's bore kit which you had mentioned in the engine oil thread...Joel had done the work on the kit and, is the best person to answer the question..Send a PM to him and get the CORRECT guidance ,since he knows better.

I asked this question on the engine oils thread but did not get a reply
I picked up a can each (Total Rs.990/-) of
1.Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40 (Mineral oil(?))
2.Motul 300V 10W40 Factory Line double ester

After installing the bore kit ,is it okay if I put in the 1st can for the first 1000 kms -running in period.Drain at 1000 kms and put in the FS?
I've also read that it's better to put in mineral oils for the first 3000 kms or so.Is this true ?
