My recommendation is to change the oil and oil filter. Change the oil to a good quality of mineral oil. Also after the running in change to a good quality of fully synthetic oil and change the oil filter once again.Originally posted by shrjun View PostWell ,I've ordered the Apache RTR 160 FFE and big bore kit from Joel(waiting for delivery
).My query is whether
1.there are any things to note while the mechanic installs the mods.I don't want the bike screwed whilst modding as it is in pristine condition(around 14K on the odo)
Ensure that your mechanic has all the right tools for the job. Also ensure that the place where the work is going to be done is clean and dust free. While it is not necessary, I would suggest replacing all the relevant gaskets. Make sure that the job is not done in a hurry. Tell him to take time to ensure everything is done in proper manner. I would also recommend that you go through the workshop manual and do your homework. It will help you understand what is going on when the work starts.
2.Does it require running in like the original engine?
It will require running in. However, ask Joel for his recommendation of the duration of running.
3.Could someone send me a link to pictures of the big bore kit and all the parts that come with it(what parts come with it?)?
The big bore will come with the Cylinder, Piston, Piston Pin, Piston rings, Oil rings and circlips. All gaskets will need to be bought extra.
4.Should I change the engine oil immediately- presently have run around 1000 kms on Castrol power1.Leave a comment:

Watch out for the FFE fitting...it usually comes in the way of rear brake...work around would be either bending the lever a bit or reducing teh play as much as possible(that would mean you need to check braking )...or make a dent in the exhaust to allow the brake its required play
2.Does it require running in like the original engine?
yeah...400-500kms...
3.Could someone send me a link to pictures of the big bore kit and all the parts that come with it(what parts come with it?)?
Sorry didn click...Been more than a year so hardly remember now.
4.Should I change the engine oil immediately- presently have run around 1000 kms on Castrol power1.
I tried AGIP,Shell FS,Castrol Racing,Power 1 and finally settled on Motul FS...
Answers in BOLD...You getting the 170 bore?Leave a comment:

I get it now. As Einstein said, success is s = x + y + z, where x is hard work (Joel can do this hereOriginally posted by stefanm View PostSimple, don't tell them, as for insurance in the event of a claim they will not open up your engine, if they do most mechanics will not be able to tell. As for the exhaust, it's just an aftermarket fitment(stock replacement or duplicate) As for ecu and airfilter just swap them back if need be.
), y is have fun (we can do this!) and z is keep your mouth shut!

@Joel It is wonderful to see so much effort in bike modding and the results are truly amazing. Congrats to you bro! I have one doubt though. Suppose I want to install a big bore to my R15 and make it a 165 cc engine, won't the RTO have an issue with it? It was registered as a 150 cc one and after the big bore its 165 cc. Can you throw some light on this?Leave a comment:

Congrats!
I am new to xbhp and I am real glad that i got to know about race concepts from here. I own a P220 dtsi and i am going to start saving from today itself for all the mods that can be done on my bike. Only problem is that i live in UP, and cannot come to Bangalore for any work to be done.
I am also very proud to know that my performance kit will be fabricated in india. As i always prefer buying indian goods. my bike and all my riding gear is Indian

Exhaust only for the RTR 160 and 180. The A150 can have the same exhaust only if you are swapping the block and head to that of the RTR series. The A150 does not benefit much with the stock engine alone. A lot more will have to be done to it.Leave a comment:
