Air filter!

Can i add this air filter to my A180? I had previously bought this for my passion plus, used only for 10 days and removed it. This is a chinese brand, which i bought for Rs. 450!



Sorry, I tried to post the pic, but dunno how to, so i just shared the link. Kindly bear with me!

What are the specs of your air filter, give some details please
Dude,there is an entire thread about air filters, you should read it, its very knowledgeable. I dont think installing a new air filter is a good option if you are not considering modification of you jets, exhaust, bore etc,.. you wont find any drastic change in power, you will see an increase in sound, but some users have mentioned that the sound often becomes irritating, so beware of that too :P

I think its this bike:



What's wrong with this one?

I think they managed to show how the ABS could effect in humbling the opponents on the racetrack...... though I love the sound track from the A180 ad....

This ad was shot at Qatar's Losail race circuit while the first one was shot at the Melbourne circuit.

yup, you got it right, dont know what makes people think its pulsar

thanks for the video....but i like to make some correction what have u explained in that....

AFR screw is just to adjust the flow of air & not fuel (most of the members do know this). for 1gm (or vol) of fuel 14.7gm of air will be supplied... here u cannot increase or decrease the fuel qty....

when the air screw is turned clockwise (cw) the air supply will reduce which means it is a rich mixture when the screw is turned anti cw u r giving more amt of air per vol of fuel which means it is leaning out.....

keep the throttle setting has u said but not till 5k, 3k is more than enough when u turn the AFR screw the rpm will steadily increase which means u are leaning out (but it will decrease after certain turns lack of fuel to the supplied air) the rpm will decrease when the screw is tightened/turned cw where the mixture is rich............

turn the screw cw till u feel the engine will die later at that point unscrew till the rpm increase & the beat is continues... decrease the rpm to 1200 see the needle of tacho if it is oscillating to & fro then the tuning is not rite............this is a hard to set more we can go by just turns some bike need 3.5 turns of unscrewing from the fully locked position....

There were no specs given on the outer box! Also, i mentioned earlier that it's chinese. Dude, I went through the whole of Air filter thread and i make a post only when i don't find an answer after searching! I didn't see much discussion about chinese filters, most of them were about K&N and re-jetting!

I just want to make sure about everything before i fiddle up and not to mention, i loved the sound when it was fitted in my passion plus

Probably its the Unicorn

So, thats what HH copied while designing the ALL NEW HUNK

You explained the working of a 2-stroke bike, i.e., AFR screw alters the flow of air (instead of fuel). In 4-strokers, the AFR screw controls fuel supply

Carb setting!

It will be great if you guys can tell me the RTR 180's standard carb setting ,that is, how many anti-clockwise rotations from fully closed position?

I have screwed my carb setting
Please Help!

Thanks in advance

Crank gone....hell i am down guys

I am writing with my broken heart

Today when i noticed a kind of tirrrrrr sound. Well i thought might be tappet but there were two distinc sounds coming from my bike. I can easily distinguish, but fortunately when i reached office one of my collegues told that it is the crack sound. I was stunned and shocked. Well i reached the svc, and it was gone. The guy told that its gone but though it is in warranty he will try to replace it under that but unfortunately i have not carried out last three services.

Well i pray to god, that it gets done in the warrenty so far my approx bill is around 2500 but if it is not then the expenditure will go till 8000/- he said.

Guys i am down with my heart, so dissappointed that after keeping my bike like a baby,oil change done periodically and then also this has happend.
Dammmm bloddy mo....ther f......ker pune petrol pump wala........i was adding even IFTEX also to clean the carb but then also............dammm inki ......ma ka


But i have heard that after changing that power goes down, but that SVC guys is a bit learned he told that the power will increase and nothing will happen.
I am crossing my fingers i hope things go well.............

Hi guys anyone from pune who knows where i can get good quality petrol

Thats true


The weight is reduced to 129 as original is 137. THe idea is simple power to weight ratio. The older one is 17.30PS whereas the new one is 17.03PS

Its a Honda Unicorn in the add with round headlamp!

+1

Err..the older one is 17.03PS too.In other terms its 17.3bhp

I checked the kerb weight is 137 kg and the engine produces 17.03 PS (which is about 16.8 BHP) for both the ABS and Non-ABS version (Acc. to the specs in the website)

The first production lots of 180s came with engine which produced 17.3 PS (about 17 BHP) but the later ones came with a retuned engine to meet new emission norms AFAIK.

Crack as in the engine head cracked??? How?

@blazing180 - the crank wont get damaged unless you were running without oil.. and if so, then not just crank, the cylinder kit also will get spoiled. All both these combined only will come to 8k to replace.
Now, skipping booklet service can have a serious impact on availing warranty... Hope they are kind to you!

Hope what you are saying is true

I was not running without OIL, i changed the OIL at every 2k distance.

The service guys told that its the crank that needs to be changed....it was making ttttttttiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr sound. He has not mentioned anything about cylinder. He mentioned me that he will try to get it changed under the warranty.

Maybe but the money is second factor, i want my machine as healthy as it was the vary first day.

I fear , changing will reduce the power or pickup, is that so...i asked the SVC guy he told that it wont rather the pickup will
become good.

Is that so?

All i worry about that the pickup should be as same as it was before do you faced any issues related to top speed and pickup.

@lijok : You have also sufferred the same i mean you got your crank and cylinder replaced ?
Do let me know brother..!

I am vary dissappointed with this
