For the sound purpose, i installed k&n on my pulsar 200ns after 7k rpm its roars like hell. But stock k&n is not available at present therefore you need to alter air filter box to fix k&n filter and it works!

good for you.i guess you don't even know the tantrums of k&n.have a visit of air filter thread in universal thread section.

use multi-quote option.

Chain cleaning and lubing is a very simple DIY and cost effective that way too...I did chain clean and lube during my first service. Then used oks lube. Now changed to diesel / kerosene cleaner and gp90 oil....the chain looks less dirty and it's quite easy on pocket too...with the same results...

As for engine flush and consumables when you go for first service make sure you ask for quote and interrogate the cost split up. That will bring out the optional items that they enforce on the customer.

no buddy ,i am not hero,i am noob

so where have you put it?
inside the airbox or cutting one side of the box or directly to the mouth of the carb removing the hose pipe?

Before i put it directly on the mouth of carb. but lately i installed it inside the filter box. Now looking for KTM duke's rectangular k&n filter because conical shaped won't give much effect on performance other than sound on ns. Anyways sound firing is awesome... it pow! when you exceed 8k rpm!

Bro i was not charged for Chain Lubrication..infact i was there when the guy was pouring the engine oil and doing the chain lubrication with a spray..i was standing on his head to ensure everything is going on fine..

I Paid Rs588 for the First service at Khivraj Indirangar

Oil : 484
Oil Filter : 74
Battery Maintainence : 30

No other Charges...

how much performance increase have you expected?

"Battery Maintenance : 30" ?? Pulsar 200ns has Maintenance Free battery isn't it? Anyhow you charged less on first servicing as compared to others on bangalore, even i paid 750rps for the first service.

What Battery Maintainence they did ? xO

k&n claims 1 to 4 bhp increment after installation of its air filter on any bike. I felt like .5 to 1bhp but its less due to conical shape k&n filter which i'll replace to rectangular shape after few research of available stocks on market. One suggestion for all ns owners... Don't go for conical K&N air filter!

which one are you using rc-1050 or r-1100?

R-1100 and paid 500rps to mechanic for installation on air filter box

those who want roar and performance bump from stock bike and considering k&n,care to read few points
:
1.adding a K&N will not give you any performance change except the roar you have to do Up-jetting also for the mixture to be rich! or else your' fuel mixture will be lean and you'll be even more slow

2.about the rejetting,it is a must - start with a +1 jet size and go up...
most propably a +2 jet size must be enough...

3.The normal CV (Constant Vacumn) carburetor has three jets, namely the main jet (for riding), pilot jet (during higher speeds) and the idle jet (for idling), the jobs of these jets is to make sure the ratio of the fuel/air mixture going into the engine block is as optimum as possible, and when you change from an stock type foam filter to a free flow paper or cotton type filter, the amount of oil being fed into the engine via the carb is altered, therefore the carb needs to be adjusted to compensate the excess air-intake to the block, but many a times it's not enough to just adjust the carb alone, since the jets can only allow a certain amount of air through them, which incidentally is specific to the type of filter being fitted onto the bike in the factory, you may as the need arises go for a bigger jet, if you don't re-jet the carb after fitting the filter the mixture goes either rich (less air) which will carbonise the fuel, leading to the drop in performance or lean (more air) which will not burn the fuel properly and lead to more consumption of fuel.

4.after fitting k&n and not re-jetting will lead to lean mixture and lean mixture causes overheating.on due course of time ur valves are gonna take a severe beating,which may lead to seizure.

5.Stock Filter in Airbox + Stock Jet = Right Mix
K&N Filter in Airbox + Stock Jet = Slightly leaner mix
K&N Filter on Carb + Stock Jet = Even more leaner mix

6. its not worth the time and money .each time, retune, run for a while, check the plug, check throttle response, rev happiness,...trial and error. Lots of time reqd.gain is very less.







p.s.=you can find all these data in air filter thread too.

Replies please guys?


I think its unnecessary..The NS is powerful enough and the exhaust sounds good enough for me..Just a personal opinion. Well explained by the way sayank

making the AFR richer will make the exhaust note more bassy... Another way is to fiddle with the exhaust and remove the cat-con...it will give increased performance, even smoother engine and increased mileage...
