      It sure does! I spoke to this guy called Anil Kumar who owns this bike, he claims 12K!! Just to install the rear tyre+wheel of FZ with minimum mod to the swingarm + installation of rear disc on FZ's wheel. Rest for the tail work he asked to visit his place in Karol Bagh where he does this work, to get further details on the mod estimate.

      I'll go check it out sometime on week-end, will take a test ride and check if the bike ''Rides" like it should, to decide any further moves in this case.

          You can cut your exhaust down from its junction point in engine!!!
          Or
          You can drill holes in your silencer for better exhausting!!
          Kidding

          Why in this whole world do you want to do "Something" to your exhaust?
          Please, dont get tempted by fancy video's or Pic's, your bike is already a beautiful package, love it insted of thinking whole day how to drill it!

            +1.

            If you want, even add a dalda dabba exhaust. It will give melodious "superbike" type sound.

            A little knowledge is dangerous. Know the whole picture before you want to modify/improve something!

              • hey i just want to remove the cat con...man not going in for some cheap KRP and automech exhausts!!!

                pipe down u guys....even R1 owners remove their cat cons...does that make them posers??

                i have read everything about exhausts and know that R15's exhaust is already maxed out but can be improved if the restrictions like cat cons are removed and u can ask that to anyone.

                that is what am asking if u know how to remove it tell me if u dont plz dont try to increase ur post count.

                  What did you ask?

                  "Can i do anything to my exhaust?"

                  That's what I answered.

                  Now that you have elaborated, yeah catcon removal will gain you about 1 bhp.

                      • i think that the R15 stock silencer 'sucks' wen it comes to looks....its so outdated..

                        one can get a descent can for around 1200 bucks here in chennai....

                        every one talks abt the race tuned cans in the market , but no proof that it gives better performance than local free flow ones....

                          u can surely get a new end can...
                          prefer a good one which gives nice smooth sound and has good free flow of exhaust... make sure the pipe leading to the can has smooth bends...
                          u can get a decent can for around 1200 bucks here in chennai....

                          A silencer is not only about smooth bends. The pipe diameter, pipe length, cone taper angle etc are important. Even then, if the silencer is modified, the other parts get out of balance. The AFR ratio may get leaner. The ignition timings may need to be retarded and so on. So, if you care about your motorcycle's performance, either go the whole way or don't touch anything at all. Else, you will just mess everything up.

                          And those cheapo end cans, I can guarantee you will do nothing to improve your performance.

                          If it is all about looks only, I have got nothing to say.

                            "breathing" is very important for a human being!
                            When the "exhailation" capacity is increased by gallops but "inhailation" capacity stays same then what happens??
                            You inhail the normal amount of O2 but exhail gallops of CO2, thats the surface vision!
                            Inside, the cell start dying because they are not getting the optimum amount of Oxygen, which is essential for oxyhaemoglobin, which in turn provides all the essential material to the cells, right from food for synthesis to the engery!
                            Result- due to lack of proper breathing the Human Being DIES!!!

                            Same happens, when people play around with their bike without knowing about the internals!
                            The engine DIES!!!!

                            "Decent Can" "1200bucks" "race tuned exhaust"
                            Why you bought the R15??
                            Its not made for such mentality!!

                                I do not have a R15! The general procedure is to cut out the cat con from the exhaust and weld it back up. It is generally located nearer to the exhaust valve.
