    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......

            it's not actually dirty. It's just that the paint is fading off due to rubbing with your trousers/pants (tank hugging maybe). You can't actually do anything about it. If you try to clean it by rubbing, it will worsen. Best thing is to leave it as it is.

            I think i know less than what you think i know.

              Fading?Its only been 5 months.Is it probably because of the bike cover that i put on(there are black marks/stains on the cover),or is it really fading?Is there any way to get it removed,please suggest guys?

                Had a condition same as Your's. Have You just collected the bike from servicing? Because those mechanics just leave their marks on it.
                Use a mildly strong shampoo. Apply it and scrub with a normal loofah. I had tried it yesterday and it worked just fine! And don't worry, the paint remains as it is.

                  Apart from the irritating noise,on the high run,the chain will tend to slip,valve timing will change,resulting in loss of performance as well there is a risk with the engine getting seized with the chain getting stuck in between the internals.

                  The air flow increases when the bike is in motion making the afr mixture lean,hence the engine begs for more supply of fuel to compensate the more amount of air.What is the stock jet size?I told u before,this jetting and all stuff is a trial and error method.Try the 125 jet size(you may even get the Pulsar main jet and drill it),again tune the carb for proper afr mixture and check by riding the bike(not standstill)redlining the engine in all gears,if you dont feel any 'flat spot' or lag in between,you are there!
                  Psr sir,correct me if I am wrong.

                        You are right Sir.Forgot to add it.

                        Then you need to clean the filter more frequently.BTW I had removed the outer filter,the bigger one and attached a splendor/passion outer foam cover(the one in black) in place of that since it has larger pores,help in better breathing.
                        BTW anyone know the cost of rear view mirror?

                              I hope K&N would bring stock replacement air filters for series RTR just like they did for the Pulsars. It would be just plug and play. No worries

                                +1, You are in a risk of screwing up the Engine, Just dont run your bike before fixing the issue, It will affect the Cam and Valves too.
