Air Filters - Universal Thread

[Dogg]

Thanks a lot buddy... so is it a simple step installing it and can we change back to the stock if necessary???

ya,any time..but i bet u won't...
and after u change to g power,etc when u give ur bike for servicing,esp in castrol bike zone,don't forget to tell the mech not to touch the plug...

the only aftermarket plugs available for our indian bikes are ngk and bosch..
ngk - iridium IX - not availabe for all bikes(costs 450~550 bucks)
- G Power - available for all bikes...costs 165~200 bucks
(worth every penny)

to check ur bike plugs avilability - NGK Partfinder for Two Wheelers

Improved fuel efficiency, Lower Emissions, Quicker Starts.
Fine platinum tip reduces required voltage Extremely durable under high heat Faster starts and quicker acceleration Better fuel economy and lower emissions Best platinum spark plug at an economical cost

and bosch gives us dual electrode

BOSCH Super: twin electrode for 2 wheelers

yeah i meant synthetic oil,start with the motul 5100 15w50...one serious mot%^ $#@king oil...will do some wonders...i mean go for a 200km non stop ride above 100~110 in the sun,ur exhausted and then at 110 rip ur bike and see with the 5100,how ur bike will pull u up like there's no tomm and even the engine will still be real smooth unlike with ur ordinary oil,it would become rough and ur bike degraded to a 125ish performance (my personal experience)..
use it as stock for 10k and swithch over to motul 5100 or the syn ver of yamalube with an iridium plug and u'll see the difference...all this will cost u arnd 800 bucks.. .then if u still insist on a k&n go for an rc1060 as it will be more than enuf for ur ride and also u will require real heavy plumbing with the r1100 which would not be necessary for a 150...yes +5 size will mostly be enuf,but u'll have to experiment cause no 2 bike r the same...

^^^Ehh...did u say Iridium plugs....but i thought Iridium were not available for FZ....or so it says on their website...so which model plug anyways....will the platinum plugs(GPower) be as effective????

yeah,my bad..i thought even the fz would have iridiums as the r15 and the gladiator have them..yes gpower is good enuf costs arnd 200 bucks...

Yamaha OEM Air Filters for R15

@All: Can anyone tell me which SVC in Hyderabad has stock of OEM Air Filters for R15?
I know the anawer to this will be no, so here goes the next question:
Anywhere else in Bangalore/Pune?
A few of us in Hyd need them real bad, so we would be highly obliged if someone could take the pain to send them across, of course with prior full amount payment from us here.

BS . they dont improve acceleration . rest i agree . i am using them on two of my bikes since the past 3 years .

if ur plugs are not older than 10k,remove the and switch over to stock and then u'll see what the other guys were talking abt...

[themadrussian]

Dude, never under estimate iridium plugs, they do their job by giving out a clean and a constant spark thus improving acceleration and also think about cold starts!! Then, u'll know the importance of iridium plugs!

U ride a 200 and ur jet size is 110. I ride a 180UGIII and my jet size is 117.5.
Enna Kodume Sir..!!!!

U got to upjet to P180's jets, I upgraded to the ZMA's jets which i think is making the AF mixture RICH.
I am just not able to think of a bike in between that to try out the jets.
How about the P220 ? or Maybe the R15 ( thats EFI)
