    pulsAR135 get it fitted from a mechanic who has the knowledge...hardly it will cost you some bucks...but get the job properly done...and is it just the filter or your going in for the FFE too ??
    Which one is a HP? I have heard this first time?

    Comment


    • HP is available in the range of 500-700bucks...its totally different from K&N and have a thorough check if they are providing you with a car's or bike's filter...
      HP=High Pass filters are china based and provide only wire mesh...meaning more of dust and stuff..HP doesnt come with a filter cleaner like the K&N Recharger Kit..

      and do you have any idea about re-jetting,up-jetting and maintaining the balance-ratio ??

      all this depends on what you want...and what are you doin it for ?...what all i said was for increasing the performance and K&N is recommended...HP can only change the fine tune of your bike...

      My personal opinion...do it only if you have adequate information/knowlegde about it...else stick to the stock filter...
      A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

            Are they available at the shop readily or should they be made?? Anyways the paint has a more original effect than the stickers (according to me). Actually the paint is a lot cheaper than the stickers.

              stickers are made at the shop...the guy will cut it out perfectly...

              not in this case...you will love the final thing if its done perfectly...

                +1111 yes Nin you are right but I think this stickers isn't available in India(Except Metropolitan cities).Then what will they do?
                Can you provide any shops phone number which can sell their sticker across India?
                It might be helpful to all.

                        • Tire change - dry / wet weather update

                          After my switch to the MRF & Pirelli combo, I should say that the handling has turned out to be near perfect. Earlier, under heavy & sudden braking, the rear used to ever so slightly slide out which sometimes was a concern; this accentuated in wet weather. But, after the switch, the bike stops in a perfect straight line & in the intended direction. Period.

                          The grip & the ride comfort offered are of a very high order indeed. For the last week, I was able to spend ample time riding it in damp, semi-wet & fully wet (read torrential rain!) conditions & I found the grip & performance to be pretty satisfactory.

                          Something unusual that I noticed: I normally tank-up every time I hit the reserve (12 lit); after the last tank-up is when I changed the tires. The fuel indicator would normally climb down to half when I hit around 500+ (I usually hit 720 - 760 km, reserve to reserve - 12 lit); but this time, it did so only when I crossed 650 km!

                          Will post the final FE after I hit the reserve!

                          • Hi raja_ghuru,

                            What was the tyre combination before change?? I believe P135LS comes with MRF zappers both front/rear.. did you change the rear to Pirelli? how much did that cost you?

                              The imported silica based tyres (pirelli, michelin etc.) have a lower rolling friction than Made in India Nylon based tyres and hence higher FE. Other benefits of Silicon based tyres is that they last longer than Nylon based tyres.

                              Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                              Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                                there's no particular shop back here which can do that...i mean only for stickers...we all can understand why so....these stickers are quite cheap and providing them through other means would eventually increase the final cost...

                                so now additional kms to your already 60kmpl ride...i want to hear more from people like you...sane riding can do wonders...surely on the kmpl mark !
