    There was a point of time when i used to strip my old CT100's carburetor every week and try a new jet. A K&N filter should cost u around 2k at most. A jet costs around 100 to 150 bucks. Most of the times upjetting isnt required as a richer mixture can do the job of a bigger jet. However for pushing it to the extreme a bigger jet is needed. I suggest u go to Ramkoti as there are plenty of mechanics available who do this job regularly. They may advice the correct size jet at the first go. Sam had also got it done there. Probably he or Thejus might know a few mechanics there.

    Rc1060 exactly costs 1790 in hyd and you must spend another 150 rs for jet .... Try out the jet which suits ur bike the best and the mechanic cost depends but it should not be very costly .... Go to any bike mechanic shop in ramkoti and ask for the guy to install k&n it isnt much of a deal i do it myself though and for jetting just check some shops around ..... Good lyck

The guys who are into this know better as they know the right combinations which they learn through trial and error through a series of trials on many many bikes. It can be done even at home provided u know stripping a Carburetor. The K&N filter can be fit by anyone. Its very simple. But u would have to get rid of the airfilter box for it.

    don't go for the K&n alone..jetting is absolutely required or else it will mess up your engine. r-1060 is enough for p180 costs around 1700-1800/- and do go for a tuned free flow exhaust with k&n for better results
