    ha ha ha toooo funny....

    hey joel, i have a 06 ZMA, and i want to increase its performance a bit more.
    currently my bike is on its first bore, and i have done a few performance mods in the engine but dont know much about what has been done as my mechanic wanted it to be a secret, he said that he had increased the RPM of the bike,and also have installed a custom direct exhaust silence. I didnt believe my mechanic untill i rode my bike .
    And once i got my bike, i wanted to check it out that if the performance has really increased, and compared my bike to a stock ZMA of my best frnd, and whoa god i was amazed,my bike just was way too ahead , and by the i had applied my 4th gear my bike was at around 110kph.
    My bike is still running on stock filter,jets and sprocket.
    i just wanted to ask you that what more can i do to achieve the speads more than 140kph, coz currently my bike just goes to 125kph at max,
    I would really appreciate if you could explain and tell me what more i can do to make my bike achieve speeds more than 140kph.
    plz am really waiting a detailed comment on this and also help me in getting even better performance from my bike.
    Really awaiting you reply

    Well the Karizma engine has now been discarded from my stable as I have given away the whole setup. The whole discussion is pointless now.

    World-over no performance exhaust system (which gives good gains and not mere slip-ons) will ever comply to sound norms. A stock R6 with cat and some 2 stages of muffling still makes 90db. Its almost double with a performance pipe.
    Performance exhausts are always a little compromise with the law, but at the same time with the stock engine there is reasonably no increase in the emission.
    Joel: Emission vise, the numbers are bigger, but by a very small margin and are way below the max limits. If some one is interested, I could post the PUC certificates, one with stock exhaust and other with the one seen in my avatar pic. The pipe goes in for a chrome plating coming week. Once that is done, my bike is complete, and you know what will follow.
