True the foam filter seemingly last more, but repeated cleaning makes the pores open to bigger size .I have a KB100 in which i had seen this happen and beyond 6 K Kms found more dust after filter(cleaning every 1K Kms since I am in city).Hence to be on the safe side suggested this.The cost compared to benefit outweighs sustaining old filter.

Its a long going problem regarding PMs
May be, when I consulted with SVC mechanic he said that its fine, no need of replacement at this time.

jetting issues on rtr 160

hi, guys...sory to post a query of rtr 160 here but i felt this is the most active thread so could get a efficient and quick reply...the issue is tht my frend has a rtr 160 he...which has clocked 7k kms...he recently took my 3k kms used k-n filter and got it plonked on his bike even when i advised him on not to do so.....as i got my valves and piston fried due to it and the only good for me was tht i then got the joel's bb kit instld still runin in now....ohke so enough of the story now thw problem is..

The setup is tht the airbox is removed and the filter is mounted on the hose pipe and the other two pipes to the box have been inserted in the hose pipe by cutting it and sealing with m seal as told by the mech....the bike revs freely till 11k rpm in each gear..without any misfires and mileage drop till now he gets 44 on super hard rippin i.e always above 8k rpm as we have good and empty roads here,.....but the problem being faced is tht the top speed has reduced the bike resists to go above 118 while earlier it used to touch 125....so to solve this i got the 115 size jet but the hole in tht jet seemed to be smaller than the stock 105 jet so increased the jet size by wires now its just silghtly bigger than the stock one ...but after plonking in tht jet the bike on standstill revs till 11k rpm easily but while riding it refuses to rev above 8k rpm at all it starts giving jhatka as if petrol if finished so plzz can someone help me with this


thnxx in advance

very true ! the admin is busy selling his tees and magazines and the forum is neglected totally . are we a bunch of kids that using wtf offends their moral sensibilities .infact even kids are more mature . members should report a post instead of directly confronting others and trying to act like a mod or something if they feel a post is offensive . the mods on xbhp have absolutely no accountability and act on their own whims and fancies and totally biased and inconsistent actions . some people get banned for flimsy reasons while others are left scot free for the exact same actions. older members would have noticed this over time .

Great! The search is worth it then Buy one soon, I'll take a test ride

Saala, BAN him mods... idhar sablog serious ho rahe hain aur ye maze le raha hai kidding

@Drifty-Is Shell 10w40 better than the Elf gold 20w40?

thats quite a lot of money for the p220 projector with hid . where did u buy this from ? a guy i know in karol bagh sells a bi xenon projector with great light output for 3000 rs i would recoomend him . add 1400 for full dc conversion . you cannot minimize power consumption by any method .

would someone plzz like to help me with this @drifty and other experienced members

Are you talking about mxsmotosport (sikh guy) ? Got it from there after getting recommendation from an old xbhpian. I know it can not minimize the power usage but as I don't ride that much in the night, its ok for me,although he has used DC convertor(as per the mechanic) something like this

But will get it DC asap, I don't want to change the battery do often. Mxsmotosport also told me that most of the projectors and HID are local (Chinese make) which will either burn the headlight socket or will cause more problems.

P.S : I am actually looking for a good electrician for bikes in Delhi/NCR

nope the sikh guy in corner shop always try to fleece customers by overpricing stuff . the flashier and jazzier bike/gear you come on the higher the price quoted for same stuff . yes most hids and projectors are chinese , even his stuff is branded hids and projectors are very very expensive unless u get them used . get coil rewinded and change rr for full dc . u can see the apche full dc thread on xbhp , try contacting puneet for some mechanic as his rtr is also dc .

Shell 10W40 AX-7 is a semi synthetic oil,it has to be better than the 20W40!

haha... :-D

You need to re-jet the main jet with a bigger size,try the 125main jet from RTR180,that would solve the problem most probably.Also get the air filter cleaned,had he got the valve clearances adjusted in between these mods?
P.S-How can be the other two pipes(crankcase breather pipe) attached to the hose pipe?If possible please post a pic of that!

@Jeanie : Yes , to be honest after seeing everyone getting HID, projectors, DC setup in the same price, I guess I have paid more. Anyways, mistakes do happen. Already sent a message to Puneet1 for the same


@RTR Owners : If the timing chain is making noise will it effect anything on the engine, the mechanic said its ok, don't cross 60kmph mark and get it done within 500-600 kms

no he has never got his engine head open and there has been no such problems of valve or tapets.......nd yes the breather pipes are inside the hose pipe and sealed will post a pic asap.....but how come the bike revs freely with a smaller jet till 11k and installing a bigger one kills it,...??? acha so i need to get 125 right....the a180 jet will do na..??

If anyone is interested in buying hid's in delhi then u can get it at best rates from mxsmotosport....but u need to do a lot of bargain with him....i was able to get a HID kit 6000k for my bike the cost quoted was 1500 i brought it down to 1100.....he couriered it to me asap....!!

I got the k&N from him at 1200, Splitfire at 350 and bosch irisium at 300....but the originally quoted prices were much higher ...the product quality has always been gud and the guy gives good customer response...

Now he is selling projectors from the range of 2k to 5k(apache's)

2k-2.5- single light proj..with only single coloured halo light

3k-3.5k- bixenon hid 6000k with single coloured halo lights

3.8k- Bixenon hid 6000k with mx3 effect in headlight+nighglow (colour of ur choice) + multiple coloured halo rings

4.8K-the whole setup of 3.8k fixed inside a new apache headlight with black reflectors and all.....so u can save ur stock headlight

as the fitting is around 450 its better to get a new headlight only......
