^^ the spark plugs will help, but if they are of the right rating to go with. there are experienced members who can help u with that.

The C0 setting has to be increased according to the increased airflow offered by the K&N. Then the bike will benefit from the increased airflow.

what i read/heard was that these security kits etc, put unnecessary loads on the electrical, and are best avoided. Also you need to check from your dealership if it voids warranty, because any such modification, including the K&N, would void warranty.

i didnt understand about the K&N filter, but the security system was provided to me by the dealer. the warranty isn't void. I had asked him about it.

1> Iridium spark plug - this type of spark plugs are used for gaining performance in the initial pickup the main work which it do is to burn the air & fuel mixture more efficiently then the electrode spark plugs which doesn't do same work what iridium spark plug do.its costly because iridium is a costly element and long lasting one compared to electrode ones.
if you are thinking of buy it will surely satisfy you i am a proud owner of 2 iridium spark plugs...

2>K&N A/F- who says that is never add much performance to the bike it does using it without up jetting the carb is useless + your bike engine could die early + valve can be destroyed so always up jet the carb before putting it with proper setting too more fuel to engine never destroy the engine it increases the life of your machine as fuel also acts as coolant for your engine.
i have k&n in my bike.you will be surprise to know that i got 56-57kmpl with pulsar 180 carb setting.

3>Xenos security -don't know much about this but its useless and eats the battery thats it.Don't mind anybody which have this system installed on there bikes but i have seen this on only village man bikes.Don't take it to the heart please not intensional.

xenos security system

this thing is a waste and frankly it will die when it rains hard... I was riding my bike with the remote control used as a keychain.... and it was raining hard.... the remote was obviously getting wet... next day I came outside and the remote had short circuited and it was causing the bike to shut down every time i started it.... had to disconnect the remote and go store it far away from the bike to get the bike going... these cheap chinese makes are a waste of money and they screw up rather quickly....

he has an R15 , it doesnt have a carb .

Zayn,

I would like to install Iridium spark plug and K&N A/F. Could you put some more focus in your post. Likes
1) Can I replace my original spark plug to Iridium spark without more complex setting?
2) Which model of K&F for R15 and what is pulsar 180 carb setting and how it apply in R15 fuel injection system.

Further, I have Google of improve the bike performance and I found the below points, can you share your knowledge on it?

1) Increase the H2O ratio in your coolant - if it weren't for corrosion and freezing concerns, automotive makers would use pure water. Water cools much better than coolant any day of the week, and a cooler engine is a better performer.
Instead of half and half, try 40/60. DO NOT use pure water, As this may cause premature corrosion and that can be no fun at all to clean up. You may also try water wetter to further enhance this effect.

2) Index your spark plugs - this is an age old trick that is good for about 1 extra pony. The idea here is to "aim" the open end of the spark plug terminal (the gap) towards the intake side of the head. In order to accomplish this, simply mark on the plug a small line to indicate where this gap is, and install the plug as normal.
Try to line up the line with the intake side as best as you can. It may require buying 2 sets of spark plugs in order to do this, but hopefully you'll be able to do this the first time. Be careful with aluminum heads not to over tighten, as that could lead to a costly repair.



This will cause the computer to believe that incoming air is slightly cooler, causing it to inject more fuel and advance the timing a tad.

4) Synthetic Oil - This is guaranteed to pick up 1-2 horsepower, as multiple dynos over the years have proved this fact. Simply by switching to a true synthetic oil this weekend you can reduce the friction in your engine, improving efficiency, and therefore going faster.

5) Insulate Fuel Lines - When your fuel lines travel through the engine bay they heat up. However, cooler fuel produces more power for more reasons than just cooling down the intake charge--although that certainly helps things! So, to improve power output, simply purchase some refrigerator/air conditioning insulation and wrap the fuel lines with the insulation. While you're at it, you may wish to go ahead and do this to the intake arm as well for even more power.

R15 or any EFI

R15 = CR8EIX iridium plug number.
Well Iridium basically enhance the resistance power for proper burning. The electrode regular plugs fail to provide full voltage for burning. For example
the voltage produced by ignition coil is 24000 but at the end of plug voltage may be near to 20000 to 22000, which means lack of voltage. But by putting iridium, voltage will be on higher side near to 23K to 24K.
K&N fitting on R15 is easy. it adds some power but with some limit, besides it will not damage the engine. The engine can be damaged by riding either without any performance mod.

In EFI models chipping is there not jetting. But at some limit you can change the AF by doing some very easy steps.
Besides Iridium is good for high performance as well as mileage performance too. coz all is related to it's resistance power.

Lots of misconceptions about plugs and other things, here. For those really interested, I suggest going thru the spark plug thread.

Dear Chinmay,

I read my post and article in **********.com, I learn lot from you valuable input on biking.

Can you give us your valuable comments/input for above my queries of improve bike performance

Thanks in Advance

FYI...Folks

I have installed 2 Iridium spark plugs and K&N filter 15 days back on my P180 UGIII. Well as the engine as been newly fitted with bore & piston so i do not cross the 5k rpm limits, but the bikes mileage has been improved. Previously i used to get some where between 36-38 kmpl, now its certainly near 40-42 kmpl and still running on the same stock of fuel so actual calculations still pending.

As per the performance part I am not riding on higher speeds so can't comment on that. Waiting to complete 1k kms, get it serviced & then check for performance.

Security Systems: Well i know all have various opinions about it. I got one installed 2.5 yrs back & its a chinese one(just for Rs. 500/-). My purpose to get that installed was to locate my bike in the huge parkings of mall & my office, but later i started using the lock switch at nite when i go to sleep. This thing really works great even any creature touches it at nite & i seriously feel safe about my bike, even my signature says what i mean.Tried to start bike with the remote few times and the response was great, but dint continue that for a long time as i was least interested in starting by remote. I prefer kick or self. I was too skeptical about the battery life and electrical damages, but to my surprise nothing. No problems in rain. Just that the voice which is used to come while turning left has stopped working, but rest everything works fine. Atleast i can ignore this thing considering the time & amount spend on it.

Exactly..! I have a r15. I dont think its much of use in a FI.

I think (my personal opinion) getting on a K&N + Iridium Plugs + New bore kit - up-jetting is really calling for trouble.

Yep... Thought so..!
