    I did consider it, but didn't actually go through with it

    My friend adjusted the AFR screw on his Impulse, and it seemed to help a bit. In any case, his bike too struggled above 16,000-16,500 feet.

Beyond 12,000 feet, the loss became noticeable, and I had to maintain momentum and low revs to keep going. Whenever I tried to rev the engine, the bike started sputtering, so I backed off the throttle.

    With steady low revs, it was easy enough to get to 16,500 feet or so - the bike didn't complain, though we had to go really slowly.

    Beyond that, there was no tarmac, and the slope became steeper. That is when I had to occasionally walk alongside the bike, with it running in 1st gear. Had to slip the clutch, too.

    Except for the back-breaking ride quality, the AS200 managed fine throughout. Above 16,500 feet or so, the bike couldn't go uphill with me sitting on it (I didn't make any changes to the carb/AFR settings). So, I had to put the bike in 1st gear, slip the clutch and walk alongside (same with the Impulse). The maximum we went up to was Gurudongmar Lake, at 17,100 feet.

    Attaching some photographs from the trip...

    There is no need to open the fairing to change the low beam (projector) bulb. Any competent mechanic can do it from below.

    Just make sure it's aligned correctly, otherwise it'll feel like a candle
    Great...thanx man I will be upgrading to 100 watt bulb for the projector
