    Re: The POWERHOUSE Fz18

    This thread is closed hereafter apparently having outlived its utility as a knowledge sharing element. Over the past few weeks the interaction here has converted it into a battleground for claims and counter-claims with zilch scope for any value addition arising out of the interaction here either as a knowledge base or towards promoting safe riding.

    Thanks.

The RPM for stock shows around 8.5k while my bike goes beyond 9k. Will be getting a free flow exhaust in few days but I will not be able to get it dynoed again cause the bike has been sent to my native.

    I hope this will be helpful for people who need to power up their bikes. The difference is not much but if the by bike is dragged against a stock one, it pulls much faster and reaches 100 KMPH pretty quick. The whole setup was done keeping in mind the durability of the engine. Its not modified to the extreme.
    can you post the dyno graph in larger sizes , cant figure out much with the ones posted above

All I can say is Piston was changed and some head work was done. Fitted it with BMC Airfilter with jetting and CDI Ignition. Exhaust is stock as of now. Have ordered for a after market exhaust (Calculated One). The bike has more torque now. As per Venu Sir there will be a marginal increase of 1bhp. There is no improvement in top end but it reaches quick.

    I need to know what is the stock BHP of FZ at wheel when dynoed ? I will be getting it dynoed. So need to know what is the stock BHP of FZ at wheel and even NM

    Like this just for Venu Sir...He helped me a lot while I was in Bangalore. After I got the Big Bore from Joel for my 220, I rode straight to him, and he said it was quite good. he helped me sort out lots of issues related to chain sprocket and spark plugs.

    Bangalore is the place to be in with such fantastic people around....

    The first bore which Joel had sent was used on some other bike, there was oil packages on the bore and used oil with load of muck stick to it.
    It was very much visible to everyone whobsaw that the BB was used, next after sending the bsore back to him, it took him 6 months to send me a new one.
    God knows what was he upto. Never ever hoing to deal with that guy again.

    The second bore I got was brand new, installed it and it was very smooth and good till 1000kms, bike after that started getting rough and oil used to vanish every 500kms, 300ml for every 500kms, went to mumbai for a trip and got it checked at Zubins garage and came to know the bore was not polished properly and was done in a very crude and raw way.
    So hadto live with that for another 5k kms till the time I got Motozones BB installed. Done 9k in 3 months and the bike is flying.
    While this whole thingbwas going on I kept on asking Joel for a reply to my prob and he never used to reply or pick up my calls.

Done some 9k kms till date and very muchbhappy with the bike, no tall claims by them but the bike feels way too easy and smooth going. Top end has increased by a huge margin as compared to Joels setup, did 148 with all the luggage and me weighing 85kgs, not bad at all, and the proof are some fellow Xbhpians from the Daman GTG.
