        Fiero carb on p180 with light porting works great. Can get some real good performance.

          Which carb does Fiero use? Main jet, pilot jet size and venturi size?

            Hey even I was wondering if the 220;s hahdlebars and footrests are a retrofit on my p180UG3. the riding posture will be a boon as i am 6'1" and find it quite uncomfortable on my bike
            yes the footrests are retrofit and cost around 900 bucks a pair .
            no the 220 handle cannot be directly fitted in the 180's forks i have tried that. try getting some aftermarket clip ons but they have lots of vibrations and are too low hence causing a pain in the wrist. so not good if you use the bike as a daily dirve . i have posh racing clip ons which give a good feel at corners but are not meant for city riding . its ok with me since i ride my bike only on sundays.
            Chrome rims and bling ? get a real life !

              Are you sure about the cost of the rearsets?

              I checked out a couple of aftermarket clip ons. Those were not exactly clip ons. They consisted of a separate plate which had to be fixed in place of the current plate[ the one which has the bajaj logo on it.and the handle bars would be installed to this plate.

              Actual clip ons are the ones which are bolted on directly to the big suspension bolt i guess.

                Those are 2-piece handlebars with base plate.. The actual Clip-on's are bolted directly to forks mouth or clamped to the fork. Check out "POSH CLIP-ON'S" man, they make some nice stuff! The only disadvantage is that u cannot fit ur handlebar side weights!!!

                  It uses a mikuni BS 26(cv carb). Don't know the jet sizes exactly, but i guess main jet size is 100 or 102, not sure.
                  One of my friends is riding a pulsar180(1st gen) on fiero carb(no jetting done) and its doing great on performance. No problems faced as of now.

                    Well, P180 uses BS29 and presumably bigger jets too. You say that smaller carb is boosting performance. Smaller venturi size can boost low end response but higher end power would surely be compromised.

                      That is exactly what I was talking about. Hey do the RTR clip-ons fit a pulsar?

                        I Think u hane a ug3 180, if ur bike's fork and that of a 200 is of same dia, then u can fit RTR's clip-ons directly without any modifications as i have seen couple of 200's on rtr's clip-ons!

                          Not sure about the top end. I didn to do a top end, i got to blast in city streets and i could easily feel the difference in performance compared to another pulsar which was also lightly ported(both 0.8mm). Both pulsars had everything in common expect the carb. And this bike is awesome for wheelies. Like you said probably a boost in low end response.
                          But i remember reading in a blog that the main jet size in fiero is 100 or 102(not sure, but either of them). If i am not wrong P180 carb's main jet size is 97.5...
                          And i'd heard from a mechanic in tvs service station that fiero carb does great on rtr also. But even rtr uses BS26. Any idea of how things work here??

                            Pulsar 180 uses 117.5 main jet.

                            What happens is that smaller venturi size means that greater velocity of air-fuel mixture to the engine. This boosts low end power. But at the high end it actually restricts the flow.

                              ^^ +1

                              AFAIK for higher speeds I think free flow of inlet mixture and the exhaust gases is very much necessary.Correct me if I am wrong.

                                keep it same.

                                i suggest dont ever go for any kind of heavy cosmetic mods. it will just ruin the appeal.

                                go for the 200 kit.

                                although the change is not very huge there is a good change and it feels good.

                                do not the change the silencer for any dubba cans.. unless they are good ones from like KRP tectrac or automech...

                                NGK plugs are good but you dont get the performance that you expect with those. they just help in a better combustion mainly for larger capacity engines.

                                I personally have a K&N . its good ONLY for the sound. With which i am really happy but the reality being i have to clean my carb regularly.

                                i am still doin research on the handle bars . the after market ones are ok but not all that comfortable. i had a bad experiance of mine breaking off while i was riding !! had to tie it up with a cloth and went to the nearest mech.

                                If the 220 clip ons can be done i guess that would be good . does any one know if that can be done on the conventional 180/150's ??

                                cheers
                                Avin..
                                i must disagree with the notion that 'K&N is only good for sound". you must not have rejetted the bike. the K&N is not a plug-n-play object.
