Modifications

I just put a NGK IRIDIUM plug on my P180 classic, by whatever little I've ridden after the fitting, there is a slight difference in the way it rides. More updates later.

HID for Pulsar

Hi,

I want to know which is the best HID available in India which is 4300K for my pulsar 180.

Also, would like to know any suggestions about the coil replacement from Avg 180. Is it a good idea to change the coil and then replace the halogen with 55/60W or just go for HID.

Regards,
Benz

any side effects after putting irridium??

na,been using it in my uni since a very long time now... even the k&n rc1060 filter... but if u ask me go for the plug and fully syn oil as the installation of k&n is a bit difficult in the pulsars.... go for motul 300v or motul 8100 and use the plug... k&n accumilates dust very quickly and need to be cleaned periodically.... if not the bike will turn scary!!! and the cleaning equip costs 1.8k....

thanks buddy!
well, the process made the revving much easier. Plus, the bike is now able to pull from 20 even in 3rd gear wihtout much efforts. The head polishing was done by BAL guyz and costed me 375 bucks. As for cams, the whole replacement cost me around 700-800 bucks.
As for top end, well yeah it is increased by margin. Before this, i was able to touch 115. And now, my classic can touch 128@8K RPM in final gear.
Another noticable difference is that, the engine can now pull to 80 in 3rd gear. All in all i am happy. I'll be posting the pics ASAP.
Ok, the only problem is that, the engine is still taking some time to adapt the new carburettor. Plus, during the ride, whenever, the acclerator is limited, the bike backfires alot. (All right even not that much. coz, it was backfiring even with the old carb unit.) I hope everything is fine. What do you think?

U changed the camshaft to which one?? whats the funda of a cam shaft?? i mean bigger better or something like that; dont you have to change the corresponding parts as well???you did not specify the jets you are running on..where did you get it custom made?? have you done sprocketing as well??AFAIK in head polishing they just rub of the carbon deposits, the size of it is not really changed in anyway right?? what was the mileage you got after head polishing or after all the mods??? does it drop drastically??

I personally feel iridiums are a waste of money...I have been using motul 300v for sometime, but due to constant oil leak probs i have aborted using that oil.

I have been facing some serious probs after k&n [i am on stock jets;its a 180 ug3]; the bikes runs out of power after constant 80-100. Earlier i used to do 120+ constant at least for a minute or two, but now the its difficult to reach 120, the bike runs out of power at 117 and actually shuts down like petrols over!! reddy suggested de-carboning the engine, can anyone suggest the pro's of this process? any guesses for the problem that i am facing?? i read in some thread that, without up-jetting, the extra air inflow affects the inlet and outlet valves, any opinion on that??

Also, there is a petrol leak quite often from the carb. i got it opened and cleaned like twice. I noticed that whenever i open full throttle as soon as i begin riding the bike this prob occurs, otherwise it doesnt happen.!!

I just got a brand new set of chain and sprocket, i had covered around 40k kms. I think getting a custom sprocket is the best way, as any other bikes sprocket would require extra modding and then fitting it to my existing bracket...anyone who has a custom sprocket, can you plz specify the amount spent..what are the possible ways one can get robbed....

gold heart, madrussian...?? anybody there??

robbed....

with kn and stock jet ur bikes running lean.U can give a big french kiss to the valves coz chances are that u mite end up with a burnt of valve due to the lean mixture.the leaner the mixture more heaty ur engine gets.As for the carb leakage check the tube between the tank and the carb.

[me is rossi]

french kiss & all.... ... dude its a thumb rule that u r talkin bout, thats why my bike is always on the rich side....dont worry, anyways am gettin it checked, if too fcuked will get it changed & will upjet as well..

Air Filter Replacement

Hi everyone,

I plan to replace my bike's existing stock filters

My bike is Hero Honda Glamour

which among the two is better :

K & N Air filters or

Green Cotton Air filters

Which will improve the performance of my bike ?

FOA, really sorry for replying this late. Was cought up badly with work.
And yes...A Very HappY New Year to you buddy.

Ok, lets get back to the topic...

A cam is designed for both torque and HP.
Most of the Cam mods on engines require modification on the valve springs to match the higher lift and stronger to prevent valve float at higher revs. The timing between the movement of the camshaft and the the crankshaft is of critical importance. Since the valves control the flow of air/fuel mixture intake and exhaust gases, they must be opened and closed at the appropriate time during the stroke of the piston. Due to the intense operations, they tend to develop the sliding friction between themselves and cam follower. Both surfaces get rough and due to which, cam's operations are adhered and thus results in engine operation with less efficiency. I just replaced the valves, along with the cleaning of valve seats, combustion chamber and cam follower with the one which were polished and had lobes with better edges.
My jets are custom made by my mechanic. He uses existing parts from different motorcycle engines and then modifies them. I really cant specifiy the size difference. But, the bike doesnt get overheat very often. And thats enough for me.
As for sprocketting, nope just replaced them with the new ones.
And yes, by polishing u got that correct. However, there is no assurity of change in part measurement, coz grinding may affect the surface of metal. The actual person who is performing it have to be careful about that. After all these, my mileage hasn't been affected in any manner. I am still getting 40, no matter how hard i run the bike. And most important of all, i am still satisfied by the performance it is giving after all these years.

Now lets get back to your problem..
I am asking few questions here. Try to diagonize and answer..
1. What is the ur bike's main Jet size?
2. Have u tried cleaning the bike's Petrol Tank?
3. Does the engine get hot often?
4. Does the bike misfires or backfires alot while running or idling?
And i dont think that extra air inflow might affect valves and their operation. The primary thing, that matters is how proportionate is the fuel mixture sent in by carb for combustion. IMO, get your carb checked properly by a good mechanic.

Guys may I know Which model of K&N is perfect for my 2005 model P150 Dtsi (I think UG2) and if any ,can I use the same in an R15?(just in case of an upgrade)

You can User K& N Universal Filter RC 1060, this will fit on both the bikes

Wow

Wow thats a perfect reply.My doubt- clean bowled Thanks for the info dude ;Ride safe.

WOW! i had lost all hopes of getting a reply on that one!! Thanks for the effort mate!

Answers

1. I have to get that checked its 116-118...my mech suggested avenger 180's jet which is 124..
2. No I havent tried cleaning it, and will ask the service centre guys bout it.
3. Yes Recently it has been having seriuos heating issues. Like after I touch anything above 115 the bike simply shuts off for sometime..!!otherwise i used to cruise at 115-120!!
4. Well my silencers screwd and needs to be replaced its totally worn out. so the bike misfires anyways.

Btw I have had the carb openend and thoroughly checked like more than 2 times no prob apart from minute dirt.

So do you exactly know basically what kind of valves have you replaced your old ones wiht..i mean any size alterations or something like that?? THe grinding is done for RD's that i know, for 4strokes the max you can do is de-carb your engine.

so just rubbing of the carbon and upjetting has givin you such insane amount of power!!!
