Except FI bikes , all carb-ed bikes needs to do upjetting or else its an high chance that your bike will either run rich or leanOriginally posted by vivekgautams View PostFare thee well xBhp, All the best for being the biggest name in corporate world

the TPS and throttle should move in together. And at full throttle the tps should show a yellow markOriginally posted by Krish1417 View PostSorry bro, didn't get itFAQs-RTR owners

I spoke to few mechanics & did some research work.. The Pilot jet is responsible for supplying fuel till the half throttle position & the main jet supplies fuel from half throttle to full throttle..If the bike can sustain the idle rpm without any jerks/knocks or going off for a whole day, the pilot jet works fine & supplies the required fuel to maintain a steady FA ratio..When the bike runs after the half to full open throttle without knocks/jerks & steady acceleration the main jet supplies the required fuel to maintain the FA ratio BUT if a knock/chock up-jetting is required, as more air = leaner FA ratio..Originally posted by prateek2210 View Post
And one more method to check the FA is by:-"The mixture can also be judged by removing and scrutinizing the spark plugs. black, dry, sooty plugs indicate a mixture too rich; white to light gray plugs indicate a lean mixture. A proper mixture is indicated by brownish-gray plugs."(copy-paste from wiki
)..
So far I feel the main jet need up-jetting..

@Vivekgautams Ur from bangalore ryt? me too! Where you put up?

What are you expecting by modifying it with Air Filters ? Increase in performance ?Originally posted by vivekgautams View PostOriginally posted by madhav766 View PostSound of air or water ?Originally posted by madhav766 View Post Where s the source of sound ? or perhaps its the wind noise.OT : Are you guys getting Email updates about new posts ?

Hey @madhav, Nice to know you are also from B'lore..I stay in Cleveland Town(Near Shivajinagar,Colse Park..) on Sat & Sun day.. If you want to catch me on week days you got to ride down to Tumkur..Originally posted by madhav766 View Post@Vivekgautams Ur from bangalore ryt? me too! Where you put up?

@kantu: I expected better throttle response & a smoother ride.. & I got both.. Total reduction of vibrations from the engine..

Does K&N offer similar effect?Originally posted by vivekgautams View Post

Yep. If you dont want to spend 1k you can buy GS150 air filter @200 rs it does its job well on RTR. Running it from past 5k kms. You can notice only better throttle response.Originally posted by pcgamer View Post

Mechanics/Shopkeepers told me the K&N in over priced,gives better air intake & more dust intake as well.. K&N costs around 2k.. You can get a good quality paper filter for Rs850 , which are also good..Originally posted by pcgamer View Post
If you can use the GS150 air filter by spending 200rs.. Its the best..!!
Nope.. No notification are being sent not even email notifications..Originally posted by kantu View PostYep. If you dont want to spend 1k you can buy GS150 air filter @200 rs it does its job well on RTR. Running it from past 5k kms. You can notice only better throttle response.

K&N is around 2k UNI filter is Rs1850.. Cross worth is 1.4k @ J.C Road..(Beware of counter fits

OT : Err are you guys getting update notifications in your mailboxThanks. Does the GS150's filter smoothen the engine and reduce the vibrations too? Any sort of upjetting needs to be done? Any change in the exhaust note?Originally posted by vivekgautams
Regarding notifications, have you subscribed to this thread?Last edited by pcgamer; 09-17-2012, 09:54 PM.Comment

how vibration can be reduce by Air Filter ? thats question from my end & if yes it does then its NEWS for me
I am gonna try it then ...Comment

You better ask Kantu for details about the GS150's filter..Originally posted by pcgamer View Post
In general:-The Exhaust note remains unchanged(or very slightly) BUT the intake sound makes the bike louder & combines with the exhaust note..
Up-jetting is a trial & error method, you may or may not need to do it..
The thing I noticed was ,the bike on stock filter faces a lot of knocking/jerking at idle rpm & the idle rpm is not constant(i.e, continuously fluctuating )..Even the spark plug used to show signs of a rich mixture..Originally posted by shahbaz63 View Posthow vibration can be reduce by Air Filter ? thats question from my end & if yes it does then its NEWS for me
I am gonna try it then ...
After putting a Crossworth,the idle rpm is stable & spark plug remains clean(ish). The F-A mixture appears to be near perfect & this has reduced the knocking/jerking. But the result is a combination of Aftermarket filters & FS oil..
