    May be I upgraded to a k&n that did the trick.
    So what i want to ask More air(by k&n filter) inlet plus more fuel via carb retuning translates to more torque or more power?

    i suppose the duke rider dint shift properly?
    cause with stock gearing, ns can never own a duke. i have tried many times with stock set up :P

      why should someone abuse you ??

      you can post it again if thats not a big trouble.
      Sir,The more you notice,the more you see...start ignoring them and then see how much you will enjoy your ride..

        Ya thats what I thought,bcoz the duke has gearing advantage and also the peak power in case of duke is 25 bhp and ns is only 23.5 .what I was wondering is how much the air filter upgraded setup has actually helped in increasing power of the engine. K&N and the mechanic claimed a 10 percent increase but is it really the case

          Though I feel happy for your momentary glee over your victory, fact is, STOCK 200 NS or an NS with just an aftermarket filter can NOT overtake a STOCK 200 Duke on a straight line drag. Duke just pulls away to glory owing to shorter gearing, higher power and torque (due to FI, DOHC) and last but not least, approx 10 kg lesser weight (and later come other factors like rider weight, amount of petrol in the tank, etc). You won by raw power advantage over the R15 and bad shifting by the Duker.

          Also, just installing an aftermarket air filter and making the carb richer by a few turns gives you maybe 0.5 to 1 HP more than stock AT THE MOST for our puny 200 cc mills. You can find about 5 to 10 HP increase just by plonking in these filters on litre-class bikes which make 180-200 HP on factory tune.

          If you want better outright acceleration, these need to be done: Aftermarket air filter (which you've already done), bigger carburetor, bigger inlet and exhaust ports on the cylinder head, free flow exhaust, light high-lift cams, racing clutch springs, big bore, lighter piston and valves and a whole lot more and you'd find your HPs and torque to have gone up by a good margin (if all's done properly), possibly in the range of 5-6 HP more. And you need different sprocket ratios and better tyres to compliment the new power. Should set you back by nearly 40k

          Not an easy (or inexpensive) thing to just increase HPs on a factory tuned performance engine.

            Sure. Well i am posting the pics once again. :-) the actual glare is much less in person... but the light output is like this only

            Tye above image is just with two hid switched on. The main and the left one. The right one is still switched off

            This one is also the main and left with right switched off

            This one is with all three hid switched on from front.... i switch all three only on 2 lane or higher highways where there is no oncoming traffic else he will see stars for few minutes... the biggest advantage is one flash from behind and trucks/cars/bus whatever it is treats you with respect.

            the duke and ns have exactly same stuffs... just think of a duke with 1.5bhp less and a taller gearing... what i have seen is duke just blasts past in acceleration but ultimately the ns always goes past the duke in top speed.... ns has a much higher top speed than duke....

                Well my lights are enough to light up half a km ahead of me in empty highways... total cost including 3 hid, housing, switches and labour is less than 5000. The actual colour of the light is rainbow colour. Green, blue, yellow and white mixed together, focussed and then thrown. The auxillaries are from DLAA with hid installed removing tye stock bulbs(mods needed). The light output is round and goes like a torch...as far as you can see and these are adjustable. The main headlight is close to 3000k colour temperature with rainbow effect. Gives differnt colours from different angles. Base colour is cream then its kinda mixed with green. And the aux are 6000k h3 bulbs but the tint of the housing makes the output greenish yellowish white. Amd pulling 3 hid bulbs not a single battery problem for 18k kms. As good as new. Pulls cleanly. My aux has even gone under water white being lit and it lights up under water too. Its so powerful. Its the two aux lughts that really creates the glare. Only the main does not have any glare. And regarding lights, i also have philips crystal vision with me whch i used to use before te setup, and you could try those... according to me.they are the best 4300k halogen bulbs available in the market... the visibility is awesome... strangely it has more glare than my hid. Better go for a low kelvin hid in reflector for pure no-nonsense light. And if u want plug and play, get a philips crystal vision :-)

                  hey man how much does the crystal vision cost? i want to upgrade from stock headlights as they are too bad for highway.
                  and even in city at times.
                  can you tell me how to install it? you said its plug and play, so i want to know how to do it.

                        It seems the roads are the personal/family property of some bikers. This is not about my friend Rahulbarik who is not one among them.
                        But what the hell are the police officials in our country doing? Swallowing whatever they get in their mouth as bribe and sleeping under the a** of some local roadside pros******s?

                          It costs 550 here im kolkata. the light output is 4300k pure white. But remember, focus your headlight properly.... it all depends on focussing, a perfectly focussed stock bulb will also give great output. Try focussing your stock one first..

                          its like removing the old bulb and puttig the new bulb. Just like cfl at home. Costs 550. White light :-)

                            To change the headlight you would need to unscrew the two BIG hex- nuts on the sides of the headlight assembly, remove the rubber housing that holds the holder to the reflector and just swap the bulbs. the only hardware that you would require is the allen key and maybe a philips screwdriver.
                            [MENTION=36300]Rahulbarik[/MENTION] does the crystal vision throw yellow light or the white light. I want to upgrade to a whiter light (not HID) so do you think the extreme vision or diamon vision will be good options in this regard?

                              2nd via the afr screw. Find the idling rpm screw on the right side of the bike just jext to the engine. If you can locate it, the afr screw is top-left inside.If you are not sure what you are doing, take it to a mechanic.:thumbup:

                                My stock bulb gives ample support,its just that i hate pale yellow lights. .550 for bulb. ..? Here angel eye,hid setup costs 850 bucks...its too expensive,i will try,if the Philips comes here under 400 bucks,then only i will think,and dont worry,i will have hid or this bulb setup by svc guys on my 2 nd service,also svc guys will also change the stock no. Plate rear lamp to red led...saves labour cost.
