  • Re: Hero Impulse ownership experience

    I clocked 32k on ODO. The front Disc and disc pad, chain sprocket needs to be replaced and could not find it anywhere. No spares at any Hero Showroom. Are any similar parts?

    I am from Chennai, any place where i can find the spares?

      Hey guys,
      Has anyone tried converting their Impulse to FI ?
      I guess its possible. Please put some light.
      Thanks

        Why would you want to do that? FI conversion is quite a task. In my opinion the hassle is not worth the benefit. If you really want FI, try sticking a ZMA engine on impulse, but I am not sure if the latest ZMA engine mounting will match impulse, earlier (carb version) was simple AFAIK.

          Switcing to FI would be to avoid the jetting issue at higher altitudes.
          ZMA engine swap is an option but I am not really bug fan as it adds on some weight to the bike. Rather I am using the zma piston and carb with supersized block currently. Delivers good amount of torque and the bike is swift, equivalent to zma.

            Hello impulse riders I have been following this thread for a good number of day now, feels nice to see such a strong community. I too am a proud impulsian. I was recently thinking of a supermoto conversion of impulse any pointers and feedback is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

            Hey sanket , I know I'm quite late to join this thread but could you please elaborate on the mods you have done on your bike , I am eager to try out the rebore and how did it hurt the fuel efficiency ? Please do reply. Thanks in advance

              Hi Dhruva,
              I have got it supersized to accomodate zma piston, and few other parts have also been replaced, like rockers, cam, crank, carb etc. accordingly. Technically my bike has become 200cc. Cant really explain in detail. There is a proper methamatical formula that is followed while this process. Perhaps I can get a written explainaton fromy mechanic and share some time later.
              I havent really cared about the FE even when I had apache rtr piston installed (technically 180cc). So even now I hardly notice. But using rough observation i guess i am easily getting over 35kmpl.

                Would definitely like to know more in details. Kindly come with an elaborative process of what has been done.

                    Finally installed k&n on my own, it was quiet a task. No difference in pick up except the sound is awesome also rejeted the jets. First impression- i regret dumping 2.5k.

                              you will have to look for it from the left side of the vehicle.

                              I would go for reboring rather than transplant.
