yes the k&n part is very controversial... Actually i told k&n harms the engine because most people dont upjet and ending up running lean and damaging the engine.. Then k&n needs washing and oiling but i haven't come across a single person who does that...
Anyways keep us updated about hid and console... Actually if i get a red bike i'll change meter to red and will change to blue if a get a blue one... Btw will a 55w hid run all day without battery draining even in low rpm....

I'm going for the 55W HID this time around. And planning to change the Speedo Colour to dark RED this time around.

Would OEM mods brought by KTM will confirm to same thought process as well? What about OEM sprocket kits, performance exhausts etc?




Actually, saying that K&N damages your engine will be misleading. The problem with K&N is that there are lot myth surrounding it. I did used K&N for about 10K Kms before I removed it. But I had never installed it for performance, but specifically for riding in Ladakh (above 10,000ft msl). Lot of issues pertaining to K&N are due to how they are installed, and what their buyer expect them from, but that's altogether a different story for another thread.

k&n will reduce performance and mileage at the same time .. its just the sound that will give you a feeling that it is going fast , but actually the performance would have dropped..i have seen an avenger220's engine getting seized just four days after getting k&n on it..
i only consider weight loss as the best performance mod ..

fazer handle bar costs just 250rs .. it will never fit ns ..

na na its not that bike...hehe you still remember... 1.8 litres engine oil on pulsar 180...lol

rahuldevnath has good experience of electrical modding. Me too will seek his help when i go for hid... But i will go for hid...not sure about 35w or 55w...
I will also try to change to change the orange light of the speedo to blue...and rahuldevnath will be the best to help out since he did it on his 220

Hope it is not the Bike which was Over topped with Engine-oil!!!

yes i have to flush it out... One of my bro uses dot 5 on his pulsar 180 and its awesum...the bite and feedback is very good... He also have a rear disc on this pulsar 180 which is too good... I'll let you ride his bike once... You can see the difference

Levers might not be, But Horns -Yes.. Coz u will be changing the electrical configuration of the stock bike.


@Rahulbarik - Yesterday I was chatting with @rahuldevnath for the 55w HID mod. But I guesswill do those only if the stock seems to be insufficient. NS comes with 55w bulbs..

small mods like changing horn n levers would void warranty is dat really true??????

If u wanna Change it to Dot 5, then u have to do a Complete flush of the existing oil., as Dot 5 is not compaltible with Dot 4(which I guess is provided as Stock)

you painted you levers to silver? and i used a sand paper and rubbed it so hard on the levers that the paint chipped off and lever turned silver... Wana change horn? I will change.. I have a set of scary bmw type horn with me scares the hell out of everyone... Next will be a 55w hid

the rtr levers dont fit on pulsars well alloy levers for pulsars are available at wellington... Two of my friends have it.. costs 250

Any such mod will make ur Warranty go void.. So decide If u wanna take the risk.
Stock Horns are really poor, and many have already added an xrtra horn.
I too like the MEtallic levers of RTR. In fact I painted my P150's levers into that kind of Metallic colour.

no bro just being frank... K&n will reduce mileage, hard the engine badly while letting in lot of dirt and performance gain wil not be justified... There is no need for k&n if the engine is kept stock even if you go for free flow and other stuffs... K&n is only needed if you increase your engine displacement by using bigbore blocks...so that you can pump in more air and then upjet the carb... A rule of thumb is mileage drop of more or less 5 kmpl with k&n... Well you can always opt for joel's free flow exhausts...they are one helluva product... I myself will opt for a free flow after i get my bike and joel makes an exhaust...
Btw mee too looking for handle mods...frankly speaking its one of the major thing which makes me think wheather to opt for this bike or not... I will plan a handle mod first and then buy... And as far as warranty is concerned my nearby svc is quite frank with this...they dont mind mods. And handlebar is a minor mod... well i can suggest you a small mod which even i will perform...and it could be free of cost if you could find a bakra... Try fooling a 220 dts-i owner and exchange your front disc hose pipe with him... its a steel braided line on the 220 will improve solid braking and feedback btw i have already found a guy with a 220 who agreed to exchange his hose pipe and alloys with ns also change brake oil to dot 5... Do small but effective mods... I have other mods in mind too...all exchange stuffs but thats secret for now... Wana make my bike look and feel the way i want it to be

are you people planning to change the horn?????i wud like replace the stock front brake n clutch lever wid the metallic ones comes with rtr wen i get one.... is that possible??????
