    You can carry smaller jets with yourself ranging from 112-120. Smaller jets wont be good on low heights and larger ones wont be good on high passes. So you'll be fiddling around with the carb every now and then... Installing & removing jets hoping and fighting with the correct setting.
    Either you can do this !
    Or simply get your Impulse's carb wired at Manali or Keylong ! The mechanic will take hardly 50-100rs and you'll be all good to go through all passes from there to Leh & back !
    Get the wire removed on the way back !
    Thanks a lot Ankit!

    Finally my 225 cc Red Impulse is up and running. Bought a Karizma engine some 5 months back for Rs. 4,000/- in a box. Few parts were missing and oh boy Karizma parts are also hard to find in the Hero spares shop here in Siliguri. The engine grunts and feels better than the stock 150 engine. Its done about 600 kms now and I love the surge in power. Took it for a 350 kms ride yesterday. Highway cruising was done at 5,000 rpm, 5th gear, 75 kmph. Didn't want to push it yet. My black Impulse has a front 15 T sproket from Hero Xtreme and the top speed is only 95 kmph (pillion and luggage). This Red bike has 17 T on it so it should go faster.

    I have a problem with the 225 cc engine. It gives a shrill noise while decelerating. I have heard from mechanics that the clutch gives that noise if its a bad after market product. Is it the only place from where that sound can come? Please help.
