    Someone was saying that individual parts from the kit like only the exhaust will be available. But of what use would only a free flow exhaust be, without any other changes? Can someone throw light on this?

          Tibby sent me this link this morning, donno if it was already posted here: Yamaha Performance Parts -TwoWheelers- Zigwheels
          The last page says they will be offering the parts individually too, but the cost is still not known. I may pick up the HID if its available separately though!

            Lolz Yamaha Parts are cheap! My entire crash expense came to Rs1400 only :P out of which the Grab rail itself costs 632 RS
            I dont think that Free Flow can be made Open to Public as its way too loud....

            Modded Ecu, Wavy Discs, Rearsets, Sprockets, HID, and MAY be the high lift cams can come in the setup as they would not be too evident to notice!

              Whats with the poor grabrails? They flew off Vibhanshu's bike in his last accident too! That he&his pillion also flew off&got stitches is another story though. I think the grab rail is not as strong as in other bikes.

              I dont think that Free Flow can be made Open to Public as its way too loud....
              Yes, even ZigWheels mentioned they will allow it only for track as it crosses the road acceptable limit of 80db.

              Modded Ecu, Wavy Discs, Rearsets, Sprockets, HID, and MAY be the high lift cams can come in the setup as they would not be too evident to notice!
              Which are you planning for Sir?
              If the HID is good&at a good price, I may go for it.

                Ride report from 2 of my friends who are reporters and part-time racers on the Performance kits.

                FZ16
                The exhaust has made hell a lot of difference. Like I've said earlier that resonator box causes a lot of restriction and the moment a clean pipe is built, it'll boost the performance very noticebly. There is no change to the engine except this.
                A larger dia disc and steel braided lines makes it a stoppie king.

                R15
                The R15 has already been pushed in stock trim. It already runs a larger dia throttle body, pretty large primary exhaust pipe in the stock exhaust etc.
                So the difference in the Kitted R15 is a lot more mellowed down over the FZ. However it makes a decent improvement over stock.
                The bike runs an ECU with a higher cut-off(non-programmable). A mild camshaft with higher duration and a freeflow pipe. Braking upgrade and everything else is known to us.
                Performance :
                At the MMSC track - back straight, a stock R15 clocks 132-133kph(speedo) in 6th gear. The kitted R15 was clocking 138-141 on the speedo depending the various sproketted prototypes. My friend is an ace-rider with excellent feedback, so I trust him. None other than varad More himself.
                The top-end figures with a 53 kgs rider was a best of a speedo indicated 142kph on a bike which ran a 13/42 gearing combo. Lap timing was just 0.5 secs faster than the stock bike.
                Overdrive did a 0-60 shoot on the v-box and the R15 clocked in 4-4.1 secs. Thats slower than the new p220

                  Thanks for the update. I have a few questions:
                  1. How much is the speedo error for the R15? What would 141 on speedo translate to in terms of true speed?
                  2. Since we all know that V-Box tests are the most accurate, was the
                  V-Box test done on the kitted R15 or stock one?
                  3. Any idea about the cost of the entire kit/individual components?

                    ^^ Well, 140 on the speedo translates to a 130.2 kmph genuine ...

                      Speedo error varies with the front tyre pressure. Most track bikes run 20psi pressure in the front. So a speedo indicated 130kph is around a true 119kph from what we have checked on the speedgun around the track.
                      141 on a track bike will translate to around 128-129kph true. Under normal road conditions tyre pressure is easily over 24psi and speedo error reduces.
                      Overdrive tested the Kitted R15 on the V-box. Clocks 0-60 in 4.1/4 secs. Nobody bothered to do top-end tests as the reporters were only given some 3 laps each and others were in queue. 142 on the speedo was the highest achieved in one hot lap.
                      The bike is now equal to a stock CBR150 around the same track itseems.

                        Joel, stock gearing is 14/42 on the R15 right? Why wud they want to make it shorter with a 13/42? 14/42 shud get them a better topend IMHO, right? Or were they more keen on improving low-end, midrange and 0-60 than the topend?

                          Thanks Joel. One more question to clear this&get my basic right-will higher front tyre pressure decrease the speedo error? For eg.if I was running on say 30psi front&clocked 137 on my speedo, how much would that be true-128?

                          @Apar: Page 3 of the Zigwheels review says "As of now, there are two options for the rear sprockets with 40 teeth and 42 teeth, made out of lightweight special alloy called Duralumin. The product line-up hasn't been confirmed for the sprockets yet, as Yamaha has plans to introduce multiple sprocket options depending upon the demand and need of the users."
                          Which one in your opinion would give better topend-40 or 42 teeth?
                          My doubts about the kit turned out true-more focused at mid&low range power delivery. No wonder everyone was saying the CBR is faster around the track!

                            Stock is 14/42.
                            They had some 4 gearings on those bikes that day
                            14/42 stock
                            13/42
                            14/40
                            12/42
                            The best was achieved in the 13/42 set-up itseems.
                            Since they have a higher cut-off ECU, 13/42 will work better. Should improve roll-on and acceleration. But a mere 6-8kph more than a stock bike is still not enough justice. 0-60 is just 0.4 secs faster than stock and its still slower than the new p220.
                            FYI the kits are gonna cost quite a bomb also. Sanjay Tripathi confirmed.
                            Romours of 35-40k for the whole kit were floating around the scene.
                            They will also sell individual parts. The exhaust for ex is gonna cost nearly 10k. Take it with a pinch of salt

                              This so called "race kit" has been a big disappointment.

                              No phenominal power boost from what I hear, but nevertheless, a good initiative.

                                ^The CBR150 does not have the low-end torque of even the R15, but from 5000rpm it shoots off. Remember the CBR is stroked down by nearly 10mm compared to the R15. Its that much more revvy and SBKish
