The mods provided at Race Concepts website are not for GS.Originally posted by manubhat View Post
Please let me know, how he has modded the cylinder head, had he fitted a big bore kit to complement it ? or sleeved the stock piston to increase compression ?Hell's Angel

You can either mail him or try calling him...Originally posted by MACH50 View Post
When it comes to mods on my bike..Neither a big bore kit is installed nor the stock piston is sleeved...Work is done only on the cylinder head for now..
AFAIK,the inlet valve and the exhaust valve has been modified...Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.Comment

bro,Originally posted by manubhat View Post
tell us clearly on what performance mod you requested for ?
and what changes Joel made to make it done?
finally are you able to find the change in bike performance after the change, any thing like mileage affected is improved.
and when you are going to start the thread something like "yahoo!!! my Gs is Joeled"Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity

I had claimed insurance for similar parts. Actually, I had instructed that only the metal parts(slight bent on handlebar) be replaced as they have greater coverage while the others have 50% or less but the service guys/surveyor decided to replace a lot of cosmetic stuff by themselves and since svc was far from my place I was not aware of that. I had had to shell out around 4k of a bill of 8k and this process took two whole months. Now, my headlights won't focus properly and the panel is a bit loose and vibrates noisily because of bend in front cowling thanks to svc guy's carelessness/smartness.Originally posted by MSN1 View Post
Also got a nice Rs 700 bump on my insurance premiums because of that. I'd say if only cosmetic scratches are there, save the time and headache and buy the parts you absolutely need yourself. If you guys want I can take photo of bill they gave me for various parts.
On the other hand if you are able to devote more attention to the insurance survey/resurvey process then maybe the experience will be a little less negative for you guys.Last edited by chiron; 02-22-2012, 09:18 AM.Comment

Hmm, intelligent jobs...........Joel start from basics always, like increasing the volumetric efficiency to begin with.Originally posted by manubhat View Post
Also please let us know if the intake and exhaust ports have been modded or not .........Hell's Angel

I never asked for any specific mod..he told we'll start with the cylinder head first...Originally posted by MSN1 View Post
Now the expected changes would be 10% increase in fuel effieciency and some increase in power(both lowend and topend)
I had a very low mileage of 35-40kmpl from past few months..I never got above 45kmpl on my GS....
oops my bad...It was actually the intake and exhaust ports that he worked on..Originally posted by MACH50 View PostHmm, intelligent jobs...........Joel start from basics always, like increasing the volumetric efficiency to begin with.

Can someone tell which bike's Naked chain guard is a direct fit on gs?

Am all geared up and going to hit the highway now...Need to check the performance

Tube type or Tubeless? I suppose it is a direct fit. 110 should not foul with Chaincover or Swingarm.Originally posted by thunderstorm View Post
Any Change in performance (mileage/pick-up/stability)?
How is Grip (dry & wet) & cornering?
Finally, How does it look on our baby? Can you post pics (from Back & side)?

wow! thats awesome man.
Few questions first:
porting doesnt take as much development resources as the rest.
So, is joel serious about bringing on the big bore, cam shafts and exhaust? or is he just testing the waters with this porting work?
And what is Joel's opinion on this engine now? Did he say anything specific about it? Has any other owner had similar work done?
oops my bad...It was actually the intake and exhaust ports that he worked on..

Screw the highway.... take it to the hills. Rip it through Nandi and let us know how it feels. any improvement in the mid range?
@mach50: fixed your bike yet?Last edited by 2strokerama; 02-22-2012, 07:56 PM.Comment

He, the pillion rider, is taking bed rest with broken right leg.Originally posted by vikhyath View Post
The total cost of damaged parts comes to about Rs. 1200/-.
I have to keep the bike in the SC for a few days to claim the insurance as the insurance surveyor has to estimate the losses. So, finally decided to not claim it as I cannot leave the bike anywhere, even for a single day.

As you said, I have decided to buy a new helmet because there are scratches on the one I am using now.
Planning to buy a lighter one than the present STEELBIRD BIEFFE SB-15. Can you please suggest a good, lighter product which is not very costly? The price is a main factor as I belong to the proletarian class.
In case of mine, the accident was not due to skidding of the rear tire. I was pushed to the extreme left side of the road by a 407 and was forced to go out to the gravel to avoid collision and brake to escape from falling to a paddy field.Originally posted by kripscorp View Post
The lessons I have learned yesterday are these: (1). Never apply front brake on gravel road. (2). There are no comfortable, safe braking techniques to adopt when you are facing an accident on Indian roads.Comment

He neither mentioned about the bigbore nor i asked him...As of now am not sure whats in store for us in future..Lets hope for the best...He said the engine is quite good and has some potential,Originally posted by 2strokerama View Post
I feel the wieght of the bike is killing the performance..Iam working on getting rid of the weight now...
Removed the saree guard today and was searching for a suitable naked chain cover for GS...
can anyone throw some light on the part in bold?
Mine is the first GS150r to get the mod...
Coming back to my ride..The acceleration has increased a lot now,0 to 60 is quick....
I redlined in all gears today(except 6th)
2nd-69kmph
3rd-93kmph
................
and the top speed in 5th was 126kmph...
What is the stock figures for each gear?Last edited by manubhat; 02-22-2012, 09:02 PM.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.Comment

An increase of 10% in FE and considerable increase in power of the bike at the same time? The same question the persons like me always ask: Why are the engineers designing the bikes - including GSs - not considering this possibility of modifying the ports? Strange.Originally posted by manubhat View PostComment

2009 model GS reaches 69 kmh in second gear, 93 kmh in third gear, 111 kmh in forth gear and 126 kmh in fifth gear at 10250 rpm. At the same rpm, it will be 145 kmh in sixth gear and, that too, without any modified ports.Originally posted by manubhat View Post
If you can reach 12000 rpm, the speed will be 47, 81, 109, 130, 148 and 170 kmh in respective gears. No modifications are needed to reach this speed if you can push the bike to that extent.
Have you ever checked the fuel efficiency of your bike in the proper way?
Jai Joel! He too is trying to live and he has the right to do so. But when it is on the expense of others, it needs to be questioned.
