seems good job by mech...i hope repositioning the carb will not have bad effect.Unicorn's mono shock are excellent..and its worth going for it.

i was already running on a K&N filter, so no difference for me!!

Poor rear suspension seems to be a common complaint for the otherwise fine bike . Have the weld-joint areas sanded and painted properly to prevent rust from eating away the joint in the oncoming monsoons . Please keep us updated about the outcome .

Hmmm first thing i need to do now, as of now i hav greased the welded parts.

It feels almost same as a unicorn as the suspension is doing a real great job!

Wow it's a great job. really worth for money. surely i'll go for this mod. My mech quote only 1000rs for fabrication. So it's really economy & necessary mod for Twister. by seeing this Honda will think more before they launch the new upgrade on twister,

i did a test Drive of CBR150 today.when i first looked at bike in showroom i could not make out whether its a CBR150 or CBR250....i mean it looks so similar like a zerox copy of CBR250 in terms of size and design...only difference is in graphics and 150R logo at rear.overall CBR 150 looks better then CBR250. handling and comfort was awesome...but there was bit lack of power and torque in acceleration from 0-40 run, it feels like normal 150cc bike initially...but once past 40 its got good acceleration.

I too seen a CBR 150R except the silencer & color scheme both 250 & 150 looks same. All the sports bikes are perform well after the 4K rpm.

Could you post the weld joint Pictures.To get known where the shocks where welded in the frame. That will be much useful for the guys who all are going for this mod like me.

Will have to strip down my bike to be able to take pics of the bike's frame,
that might take some time, coz i wont be stopping for long (this whole week),

The joint is about two inches away from the tank bolt, maybe that might help for time being.

This pic will help.

Not to forget the air filter change.

All the best with your mod.

Ya yesterday i asked about this to my mech. He too said have to change the air filter. But i'm little confused about this,

Is Changing the air filter will affect the engine life & mileage or not.

If not which air filter i go for

Bcz the stock filter is maintenance free & also giving me a good mileage.

Are you sure that such a mod is safe? What about insurance? With such changes will you still be able to claim your insurance? And by the way which air filter is that? any increase in performance?

Its probably a K&N RC 1060 or some other local brand (in case of local brands ..all models are same)

It will change the engine sound to a much more pleasurable one..inorder to get more performance jetting must be done..(check google)

I dont think mileage will go down..if you dont do jetting , its more likely to go up , but then again using an air filter like this (ffaf also called Power filter) without proper jetting causes Engine Failure..

.. check with google..

**sachin1111** · 04-15-2012, 02:31 AM

its the K & N filter.....baazi had mentioned the filter model number sometimes back.but looking at the pic..it looks like the Air filter is now exposed to atmosphere which is not a good thing in Rainy season....meaning small water droplets during heavy rains can hit directly on Air filter when Tyre cuts through water. Twister has a problem of water splashing around front foot rest during rains...part of this water can directly hit the Air filter. If you see the stock filter...it is sealed inside a filter box and air suction pipe is placed under the seat to protect from water. in my opinion Air filter element should not be exposed directly to atmosphere this way. what is your opinion regarding this filter mod?

It is a K&N RC1060, u dont need jetting for a 110cc engine, coz u'll hardly have a significant performance increase.

It might depending on which one u have chosen.
If not which air filter i go for

There are a few very reliable brands better than k&N
Bcz the stock filter is maintenance free & also giving me a good mileage. K&N gives longer life than the stock filter.

Answers in bold.

The air suction pipe connecting the filter to the carb also has to be changed, not an easy job to get an exact fit, might put your engine at risk if job not done with precision.

The filter is not a sound mod, its for increasing the air flow to the carb, which accompanied by proper tuning can make the bike perform better.

For the pleasurable engine sound i see college kids, cutting open the air filter covers in the Dio or Activa. (why waste 2grand for an air filter?)
