    Air filters for Karizma ZMR. Which brand?

    I have planned of installing an air filter for my zmr, but I am confused as to which brand to go to..
    Many say k&n is best but there are others who say green filters are good.
    However, the mechanic told me that filter does not effect performance in case of zmr cause of its closed loop fi system. i need help!!

    Jet sizes for Pulsar 150 classic,,

    Hey guys...just got the cosworth conical filters installed in my Pulsar 150 classic.....Right now running on stock jets and have covered the crank breather with a cloth for time being..
    I wanted to know the jet sizes for the classic pulsar 150..so i could source +5 size ....[The carbuerettor has got "UCAL" written on it]
    and one more thing...
    Ryt now i have fixed the filter on the hose which was originally connected to the airbox...(removed the airbox),wanted to if i can get a longer hose, so i coud refit the airbox and fit the filter inside the airbox...
    ..Also i heard somewhere on ths form about "duckbill" crank breather pipe for a royal enfield which only expels air and doesn't let in air(dust)....So could i fit that onto my pulsar.....???

    Any advice is welcome....

    Abhimanyu...thats information for me...will check this

    Your answer makes me think the other way now...

    I dont want huge performance change, just a little more crispy / peppy note which would give a little jerk is what I was thinking about.

    Pls suggest if I can go for a K&N 1060 for my RX100 with a VM26 Carb...will it be better & would the performance go up further. Though am not looking at racing, looking to get more peppy n crispy pickup & to get a adrenaline rush when on highway to just test the limits.

    Just Curious as I have it unused for quite sometime, havent dared to test these on my RX, but looks like I should try this

    Pls suggest

    FI can do some settings on itself but higher gains can only be seen after getting your bike's ECU re-mapped.

    only in low rpm, short rides.
    Ride it hard or/& for long and you will notice lower mileage that too with the cost of engine damage.
