    Hi Joel

    I'm planning to fit your FFE for my FZ-16 as a startup mod.

    Is it possible to fit the stock FZ Exhaust cover (at the end) over your FFE??

    Regarding the big bore kit for apache rtr 180. I got my friends bike. he told me tat the acceleration is low. and the bike is struggling as if it don hav petrol. the bike had overheating problems. and the previous mechanic dint install head gasket. so i removed the cylinder head and measured the bore dia.

    Apache rtr 180
    Bore - 62.5mm
    Stroke - 57.8mm ( info collected from google)
    Displacement comes to 177cc

    190cc kit
    Bore dia - 63mm
    Stroke same as rtr 180 - 57.8
    Displacement - 180cc

    Then how come they call it as a 190cc big bore kit.
    The piston seems to be a high dome piston. but it doesn look like a big bore kit. its 3cc higher than stock.

    pls correct me if im wrong

    Regarding Gasket

    I bought big bore kit for apache rtr 180. I need to know what gasket can i use? can i use the stock gasket itself. and how many gaskets below the bore.

    Forged pistons for Fz bb kit

    Hi Joel,

    I was wondering if it's possible to procure forged pistons for the FZ-16 (err.. 18).

    As you are aware, I m running my bike with the BB kit. Just wanted to know if the forged ones can be used and if you are having any. Would be super good to get them installed by you

    Thanks !

    There are huge numbers of Activa/Dio/Aviator on roads, and it would be a good option for people who don't want to
    upgrade and stick to their respective vehicles without affecting the reliability with the mods if Joel provides for non gears



    I have RTR 180, don't want any other bike for rides in exchange of my activa and would keep my bike stock for now

    the problem with modding scooters is reliability, you could make a activa do 120kmph faster than an r15 but the problem is that you would still be running stick drum brakes and scooter tyres are not the best for grip. Heck!! scooters arent stable in corners even at speeds of 60!!!

    Well said. Although you can add some disc brakes to the scooters, their stability will be in serious question thanks to the puny tyres.

    i do agree with with Krish1417
    i used to have a dio , and was riding it from past 3-4 yrs , ive got 116cc setup with custom made head and revised air flow and tuned length exhaust( done by a specially trained honda senior mechanic who came out of the company and works out now ),
    goes upto 110 on the speedo but i felt stable at that speeds and i do cornering at speeds of 60 with ease but im new to geared bikes and doing cornering in that speed of 60 is a night mare as im learning geared bike now on duke
    ,
    but my setup was reliable too but i got fed up of its power cuz i was too greedy for more power so upgraded to DUKE now
    .
    if joel is ready to touch dio/activa
    im ready to buy a new dio and get it joel'ed without any doubt
    because i love gear-less more than geared ones and its easy to maneuver a gear-less in traffic
    im not saying we cant flick through traffic on geared ones but i feel gear-less are zippy and their initial power is enough in traffics
    .

    but at those speeds braking wil be issue if it goes above 100 km/hr as they are not designed to go in high speeds and even upgrading to disc's wont give sufficient braking on these gear-less ones
