          The only thing new on the engine front is the bore kit. Thats it, no porting done, no 'tuned chamber' used, no changes to the carb, nothing. In fact the older bore which was on the bike was a last oversize(bigger than the current one on the bike) of the scooty and wasnt doing more than 50kmph and I spent 3k for that worthless upgrade, just the backstabbing these local mechs do is atrocious.

          Beating an RX on the track is something I would love to, but that wouldn't be practical I guess.

          That 65 or 70kmph (on a positive note ) is purely because of the scooty bore kit.
          I know it buddy but I just had a hope that you would tune your XL ...Tats y mentioned in a positive note.. The money you spent for a worthless upgrade will be worthless without tuning...Again I hope u would tune your XL ... you should take it as "Evalavo pannitom idha panna maatoma??
