  • will this combination increase my mileage...?

    Adding KnN filter and upjetting the carb and changing the stock to iridium plug and implementing spitfire cables, does this combination improves my mileage... if not, what will be the change in the performance...? for my apache rtr 160...

              I somehow feel you are asking for trouble. Expect advices like 'upgrading' to CD-Dawn

              More seriously though, post the query on Apache RTR thread in 'motorcycle ownership experiences' section. It might be of some help

                        free flow exhausts will definitely have an positive impact on performance if u use a proper tuned free flow exhaust but the negative impact is that u still can't get what u dreamt of...."50 Kmph on an RTR"

                          Dude,
                          Maybe the OTHERS dint know how to calculate mileage correctly..!!!
                          This is like my friend who was boasting to my Dad saying he gets 60kmpl on a P150. My dad casually asked him " for one litre or two litres??? "

                              he is not wrong , many many people get 50 easily on a RTR , one moderator of Xbhp claims to get 50 on a P200 .
