it is like filter ->blower->carb . No feed back from engine , using a after market air blower or hair dryer for this... any body tried.
one guy here asking for airscoops and wanted to route it to filter for more compressed air.. how is it?

bro,i know abt the electronic blowers for cars which are the cheap a$$ alternatives for turbos and superchargers.. but for bikes ??????Originally posted by viv.nomad View Postit is like filter ->blower->carb .

and abt the air scoops,i dont think u get compressed air out of it but rather cool air which will be denser than the air near the hot engine...
i think he was refering to cold air intake which is famous in cars with after market filters (i did some of the installations on swift)...RED BULL did'nt give me WINGS, my BIKE did !!

don't ever do thatOriginally posted by v3kish View Postbecause with this handle i feel like riding splendor nt unicorn....
its lengthy handle na so i feel
u can screw up wid d handling of d bike
get used to it and soon u will feel its d best handle on a bike in india as far as riding pleasure and comfort is concerned (i knw its not sporty at all bt it complements d characterisitics of mono-suspension)
[quote=pradeep reddy;222526]well u did not mentioned ur riding styleOriginally posted by honda_vings View Postunder xtreme riding conditions wid
spark plug sufficiently worn(for beginning 400 kms)
choked air filter (" " " " )
i m gettin a mileage of 50+ kmpl (60% city riding)(604kms/12litres)
a proper commuter cn get a mileage of 60+ nd i cn bet on it.
i will bet my money on that...i have been using my uni since 3yrs and have ridden 60k kms...never in its life time returned more than 51kmpl and its avg is 44kmpl consistent...
please dont try to prove things which are mentioned in the manual,try it for ur self and post wat has been achieved....
cpr 8ea-9 spark plug can do more than 101kmph..u think jus one spark plug makes such a big diff....
cpr 9ea-9 jus has a bettr heat range which provides better ignition under continuous high speed riding...
9ea9-9 - yeah i confused d extended high speed wid extended top speed so i purchased dis plug , 4 me dis plug sucks
n cum on mman mention ur riding style during mileage inspection period.(if ur rides are smaal small 1 u definitely deserves dat meliage, try a bit longer rides n c d difference is just dat great)The Automotive batteries are designed to work best in a typical short start-stop fashion.
So to increase the life of your automobile battery, blow the horn and flash the pass light in a quick start stop fashion instead of a conitnuous long horn blow or flash light continuous on!!
And obviously don't stretch the self start far too long.

my coll is 34kms one way that too on outer ring road...min speeds would be 90 to 124kph...so totally every day i use my bike for 100kms including mu tutions...even on long rides it returns 40kpl...

first of all ur bike must be a well maintained 1 with engine operating at its peak performanceOriginally posted by outworldly maniac View Postuni owners
how far do you agree with honda's claims for the 0-60 kmph in 5 seconds
or is it another typing mistake?
after dat also , u need 2 b very skilled to work-out a speed dat fast
changing d gears at optimum speed range( which nobody knws)
u must not take more den .35 seconds per gear change
after engaging d gear , u must release d clutch gradually while opening d throttle gradually simultaneously
try racing wid another unicorn guy
most probably only 1 cud win
its just because of better gear shift n clutch release
people at overdrive magazine has done 0-60 on uni in just 4.67 seconds
even i dn't knw d right skill 2 do it
bt as m doing , i takes a lot of practice
further discussion wud b out of d scope of dis threadThe Automotive batteries are designed to work best in a typical short start-stop fashion.

still i seriously doubt it
lets wait and see the reply of the othersHope is a good thing ,
may be the best of things and

u need 2 be skilled enough 2 do it
its nt dat ne1 cud get 0-60 in 5 secs
people who have developed dat engine has themselves tested their engine performace
sum 1 who knws d engine well only, cn get d max. juice out of it.
n its nt like dat only books hv a scope limit , even dis thread hs sum limits or it will b'cum a "how to ride a bike" tution , for e.g. even dis site is limited to bikes only. talking about cars is out of d scope of dis site ! !The Automotive batteries are designed to work best in a typical short start-stop fashion.
