Done 1200 kms on the 190 cc Big bore kit for my RTR and boy..is it fun or what.

Ive been already using the FFE for 14 months and now with the big bore...its crazy.

What really has changed is the way the bike pulls in each gear with so much authority. Top Speed marginally increased..gets there faster. Its damn fun in the city...Lovin it !!

Hello friends,
I would like to give the feedback of the bike and Big bore kit along with FFE that how they performed on my Saddlesore attempt.
Bike: Awesome performance, rock stable even when cruising above 90 and 100 all the time, no heating issues and none of the parts went kaput, only the plastic above headlamp became loose and good grip from the tires.
Big Bore and FFE ( Joeled ): The parts performed extremely well. Even after riding for more than 1000kms or 1200kms bike was still smooth in its pickup and speed. Not even once felt that engine cannot take more load. The power delivery was awesome. Whenever i will cross any toll the bike would feel happy to quickly rise to speeds above 90 or 100. Many times I maintained average speed above 80 and above 90 but still there was no sign of sluggishness. Cruising above 90 and 100kmph was very much easy. Got mileage close to 32kmpl+ with speeds in excess of 90 and sometimes 100.
Big Bore is 6000kms old and FFE is 9000kms old.

Do you experience any backfiring from exhaust when you release throttle from high rpm(without using brakes)?

I used to face it earlier, it was because of improper tuning. I got it corrected but I'm facing it again after recent servicing. I will take the bike to SVC, they fixed it last time.

i cannot see what is in there in the FB as i am currently in office. But I have a Million Dollar (atleast for me) question here as I am planning to buy a 180 in 10 days time. Now the confusion is wherether to buy 180 ABS or the normal version. I know that ABS is worth the money, but do i need it for my general city ride is the question.

Also please let me know what is in there in the FB and is it anything worth a wait or is it available already.

ABS is sure worth investing

Forget it, not worth looking

also, how good is the pillion seating for an average built lady seated single side (hope u understand what it means as i donno how to explain that in short :P)?? is it comfortable enough for a 50KM ride in a stretch?

Also, provide me some avg mileage that i can expect from A180 for an avg rider(not a red liner) in city limit

There you go ..

ABS is def. a worthwhile investment. Highly recommend simply because it is very forgiving especially when brake over loose stones or sand.

Disappointed with TVS.. Was expecting a Higher displacement bike form them to give p220, duke and karizma a competition..

found the new apache not that impressive

Thanks for the alternative link. In a way its dissapointing for a TVS fan. But this atleast help a wannabe TVS fan to decide his angel

Someone please throw some light on pillion rider (lady who is normal built - not so heavy, not so light either) and the avg kmpl in city ride for a non-red liner drive..

I suggest you take a test ride

that s the only way to really know if she s comfortable or not. It is comfortable for any one who sits normally(i.e making use of both foot rests)
Mileage can be expected any where between 40-45kmpl
