Re: Increasing Motorcycle Performance - A Guide

Is it legal?

Re: Increasing Motorcycle Performance - A Guide

Hi, how about adding performance ignition kit (eg CDI, NGK iridium plug etc). Also, upgrading both the sprockets either for better top end or for low end torque !

Re: Increasing Motorcycle Performance - A Guide


Can you explain this.., I would like to set it correctly for the 200ns.

Re: Increasing Motorcycle Performance - A Guide

Very good post but i would like to point out that a few points here are misguiding.

Things like removing saree guard and replacing high security number with a sticker is definitely illegal at my place and such things shouldn't be advocated here.

Young riders could be misguided.

Safety and legality first and performance later.

[*]Free flow air filter. Preferably a ram intake to feed cool air to the engine directly without too many bends.[*]Remap or reflash the ecu

Nice post, helpful.
Want to know more about remapping ecu.
Is there ecu in my pulsar 180 and how do we remap.

Re: Increasing Motorcycle Performance - A Guide


I doubt if P180 has ecu since it is not FI engine. Please correct me if I am wrong. Since its carburetted, its purely driven by your throttle movement / twist of the wrist.

Why in the first place you want to loose your tool kit, may be carry a lighter one. It will definitely come handy. ANd I doubt if we are allowed to remove the Saree gaurd just for the sake of loosing weight. It will put your pillions safety at risk. That is why it is called 'Saree Gaurd'.

Number plates removal and pasting it on Front fender is a big No-No here in our place. Police wale is ready for these kind of stuffs to milk money from us.

Re: Increasing Motorcycle Performance - A Guide

I guess he is talking on the track side and not for daily use..

Also, I guess every bike has ECU irrespective of whether it is Carb'd engine or FI engine.. Correct me if I am wrong here..

I am talking about even the rider losing weight to improve performance and you are worried about carrying pillions!! Clearly we are on different wavelengths. Should have also added in my original post that lose your pillion first to increase performance lol.

Saree guard: All bikes are being sold with this amazing bit of kit but I am not sure whether the rider is obliged to keep them in place after purchase. Whether this mandatory or not I do not know but then I am not an authority on Saree guard legislation. I have searched online and just can't seem to find a definitive link to a government website explaining this rule. Would be good if someone else could post who has more knowledge on this ever so important piece of legislation.

For me personally even if they are, no pillion of mine will ever be be at risk as the first thing that I will chuck in the bin will be (you guessed correctly) - the Saree guard of my rc390 the moment I get delivery for two simple reasons:
Firstly no pillion of mine is ever going to be Saree clad
Secondly and more importantly never will be carrying a pillion

Lol imagine sitting as a pillion with both feet hanging off on one side on a sbk or rc or a r15. Should get quite interesting when you take the first left hand bend with your knee to the floor.

As Regards your police wale they seem a bit harsh. Sticker number plates at least in hyd seem to be OK as long as they meet the legal requirements in terms of letter height, etc. In fact both the front and rear plates on my Lotus are stickers. No police milking me yet. It's upto you to check with the local authorities and make the call.

You are right talking I am talking mostly regards track use but these are applicable for road use to. It's upto the individual to decide which mods to make in terms of increasing performance and balancing safety and legality. I have just given some guidelines based on my experiences.
I like performance and diy. In fact the first thing I will do when I get my rc390 will be to strip it, check every nut and bolt and settings and get rid of any unnecessary weight.

Carburetted engines do not necessarily have an ecu.

Please read this link which is excellent on explaining how to adjust the suspension.
