Performance is really good,because of bore/stroke ratio approaching RTR 160 levels,she revs very freely and effortlessly.
It still is a work in progress with the silencer's bend pipe work to be taken up shortly.
RTR180 levels of performance? i don't know about that and i doubt that as well for now.All i have is readings of the speedo and none accurate ones and frankly ,whatever i've gotten done to her is only for my satisfaction as i wanted her to keep on getting a make-over periodically to keep her young.
Coming to the compression ratio.There have been far too many changes made to the engine's squish area to be sure.Like the combustion chamber has been widened and squish area around valve seats have been increased too(to reduce compression).Then the stock 150 piston was a concave top with curved edges ending with about 4 to 5 mm flat top near the piston's circumference.Then ,with the flat top piston the compression is really high,which can be felt.The dynamic compression was high the last time around when it was checked over 180 psi i think.Now the dynamic compression will be even more because of bigger carb and a better RTR180 intake manifold increasing the engine's breathing.So will have to check that once again.

The reason as to why it has pulsar disc brakes and mudguard.Back then in 2004-5 RTR was, as i said still on the race tracks and not born yet.

and mirrors.....and horn

Hahahahh yeah! or assembled/customized it?

@garry- i ride sanely as you have mention no sudden braking sudden acc all that,and corect tyre pressure i also had a fairly good run in with only once touching 108 kmh/r.i gradually increase the throttle.last time when i was checking mileage i rode sanely and touhed a 80 kmph max xeven with that i got 32 kmpl.i think my bike is running lean even then why such horrible mileage.is that because in the morinings when the engine is cold you have to warm it up a liitle and then go above 60 kmh???

The clutch lever limit switch does not allow the engine to start when the bike is in-gear & the clutch in engaged position.The problem seems to have occured again cause there might be some short circuit in the switch,hence it may sometime work or may not,get it verified from the SVC and replace it!

Okay keep the spirit high

BEAST in the makeing ha

Always knew you were right all the time

Thanks bro.I had known about it then also, but was in no mood to post about it back then.Today i was thinking of going for the GP series of the NGK plug so ran across this once again and thought of highlighting it here.

Changed the clutch lever switchBut after that the bike only started while i engage the clutch fully(earlier it started even with half clutch).I again went to the service centre and the mechanic did some clutch adjustment/setting and then it was all fine!!

i had changed my engine oil around 2 weeks back and at that time i had told the mechanic to clean my air filter also..so to clean the air filter he used petrol from a pipe that hangs out freely from the carb...after that i rode for about 40 kms that day with no probs and the bike was running smoothly

after 2-3 days i realized that the engine rpm isn't constant and the bike shuts down when ever i depress the clutch...

so as people suggested i used to warm the engine for a minute in the morning and atleast the bike didnt shut down...but instead whenever i depress the clutch the engine runs at 2.5-3-4k rpm...i feel even the throttle response is not crisp and it gives a vague feeling as if there's no petrol..i get to know that from the exhaust note also which has lost its constant grrr grrrr and sounds like its gonna misfire any moment ...

can anyone pls throw light on what the problem is...moreover my mileage has been reduced as the bike always runs at 3-4 k rpm even in neutral!!!


p.s my clutch switch needs to be changed as my bike doesn't start sometimes when in a gear...and sorry for such a long post..i wanted u guys to know my problem completely!!

@kantu- i cover about 30 kms to and fro- i go from hebbal to banaswadi so i take the ring road and traffic is okay.90% of the times my bike is in 5th gear!

Good.The problem is solved now.


Lets meet up tomorrow in college after 3pm and see what's the problem with your bike.What say?Yours is the MH-06 registered one na?With rust on the gear shifter rod?
