Air Filters - Universal Thread

Re: Air Filters - Universal Thread

I have to say even on a friend's pulsar 180-k & n was useless, even after retuning the carb. My experince says k&n on a sub 180cc bike would do be more pain than gain.
But after I got the pulsar 200 ns, k&n 1060 with a bit of carb retuning(using the 3000 rpm principle) is worth it.
The reason is may be because the jet size is bigger, the engine is way more capable (23.5 bhp) or more importantly because its a liquid cooled bike. Liquid cooling is way more effective, than air cooling and hence helps maintain engine's efficiency.
The sub180 cc bikes after a k&n installation, end up with too much of air in the engine,for which a lot of hit and trial re jetting is required. And its seriously not worth, because even if you are getting an aggressive sound, its at the expense of the engine life.

And yes NS has a carb.

I have used ak&n RC1060 on my p180 and BA2201 as well on my P220 , with proper upjetting, botj for sure were quicker than stock, I used Apache RTR 180's 124 mainjet on both, the karizma 125 jet is actually smaller than P180's 117.5, Nevertheless I found K&N to be a useless investement till n less you are a tech savvy kinna guy. Here are my 0-100kmph timing on:
P180UG4
0-60 4.02sec
0-100 11.68sec
P220
0-60 3.91 sec
0-100 10sec sharp
I also retuned the carb by RPM method.

Wanted To Know Which In One Is Durable And Better In Terms Of Quality..
Thank You

As mentioned by the moderator in a post above yours, go for an AM filter only if you know what you are up against. Stick to stock.

Re: Air Filters - Universal Thread

which is the best air filter for apache rtr 160 in terms of life and performance? pls tell the price and place in delhi ncr where to get it.

Almost most reputed branded air filters are good, K&N, Simota are all really good stuff but I'd suggest not to mod until you really have a sense of what you're about to do, because apart from the money spent and mod done, the difference is barely noticeable apart from the signature roar and in the long run it doesn't do any good to the engine itself.

The difference is very slightly noticeable.

Re: Air Filters - Universal Thread

Got a question about k&n rc 1060 installation on pulsar 200ns (the beast ), I have gone to the mechanic and removed the air filter box and attached the k&n filter directly into the carb. Now there are 2 pipes lying useless, which was fitted onto the air filter box, i noticed one is for sucking air and other one is for god knows what. The mechanic says the air in the carb will go through the mouth of the carb only where i have fixed the k&n air filter. Then what are those 2 pipes lying vacant for?

They maybe induction and engine blowby tubes, it's not a problem to leave them dangling, but blowby causes oil to come out from the engine which is normal and to make sure the oil doesn't splash everywhere it's hooked onto the AF box. But nothing to worry.

Red Moreover most don't know this fact. Using a filter in a sub 150 cc bike is more or less useless not completely though. Except for the grunt and a very very slight noticeable improvement in performance which is almost as hard to notice when riding normally.
