Does anyone know how kumar auto in andheri east is? Has anyone ever got any work done from him??

i bought my bike from there,they overcharge like hell.On top of that they were charging 400 bucks for veedol superswift engine oil.I asked them how does an indian semisyn oil cost 400 bucks and a full syn petronas made in malaysia cost only 330rs,which he couldnt justify.

u only have to give a small twist with the quick throttle as compared to ur present throttle set up.but i doubt it wud fit in mine because the right houses the self start and head light switches which is not the case in the rx

its been almost a day and no post .......should i make the title more specific or something.......

Roshan,

Technically, any modification to your motorcycle that deviates from stock condition will lead you to lose warranty. IMHO, it is all in the hands of the dealer(service engineer/supervisor) man. Some dealers turn a blind eye to such mods while many make a huge hue and cry and dishonor the warranty even if they find a little mod that has nothing to do with the failed part. to be on the safer side, don't mod your bike till you are through with your warranty. even if you do, be prepared to revert to stock settings everytime you wheel in your bike to the service station for scheduled/warranty service. There are two kinds of K&N filters. the cone/pod filter and the replacement filter which usually fits into the stock airbox. So, I guess the replacement filter comes with that statement from K&N. Don't take it too seriously. The dealers won't give a damn to what K&N says. They will follow the manufacturers rule book to the T, especially when it comes to replacing parts on warranty.

i had the same feeling

but just wanted to confirm ......so my idea of 60/55w headlight,KnN and Iridium plugs are off the list till my does 30k

Well said , I would also suggest you not to resort to any modifications in your bike till warranty expires for your bike. Because if you take care of your bike the bike will take care of you.

[Help]: K& N filter on FZ..

Query Moved and Approved.

If u want to use the K&N to the fullest, u have to upjet ur carb. Else it s a waste, engine ll run lean and u will face problems.

UPjetting in turn would reduce the already low FE of the FZ.

[rahuldevnath]

It will ruin your smooth, vibe free FZ. Still making the mixture richer, will help, but upjetting is recommended.

[shrigauravraskar]

what is upjetting exactly ?

[psycho 98]

Upjetting is upgrading your existing main jet in your carb to compensate the airflow, hope this video helps

A good upjetting can only be read through plug chops, check these links and videos too.

I am using a K&N in my 220, but find no problems with smoothness.... its really better now. The performance in terms of speed and kmh has increased notably, i would say a notable 25% of increase in power.

But there is a smaller version of the filter for 150 cc bikes that cost about 1600 i guess. Mine is a little bigger that costs about 2400 INR.
