Air Filters - Universal Thread

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...

yep now it's more clear... and more than that one must do a practical experiment... so i am not going for the K&N... will change to synthetic engine oil and the iridium plugs... which brand is good for iridium plugs??? heard only about NGK...

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

Hi Guys,
I have attached 2 pics of my stock 117.5 jet and the ZMA's 125 sized jet. However, i feel that they look they same in diameter.
Is it just a feeling or do they really have a difference? i am confused.

Could someone explain what the splitfire cables are? The pros and cons? Or in case if it has been discussed already, could I be re-directed to that?


PS: The newer looking jet is the ZMA's jet which my P180UGIII is running on now after the RC1060.

I have posted these questions on another thread related to AIR FILTERS.

Hi guys,
I have another Air filter query.
I have attached two pics of my air filter.
Query on Picture 1:
Is the air filter fixed properly? The filter box had been cut off partially( drawn in Yellow) and the filter plonked in and connected to the hose from the carb.
Query on picture 2:
1. I have colored the cut off portion grey. What will happen if I cover the cut off portion( with some plastic) now and fix the long Rectangular part also. Meaning, what if i cover the air filter box now. i.e, The air will come in only from under the seat.
The air flow is lesser than the existing setup
so,
1. will the sound reduce? and does the carb need to be re-tuned for this AF mixture?
2. Will the jets have to be changed back to stock?
3. Will the air flow be the same as that of the stock foam filter?

please advice and let me know as much as possible.

PS: please excuse the picture quality. That's all what my nokia 5800XM could deliver.

yup its fixed decently. but make sure there is no gap between the pipe and the filter joints, cuz if there is air will just go in through there.

putting the cover back on will only defeat your initial purpose intended for the filter. ie the sound will reduce and with that the sense of acceleration . although it will have a low base grunt which i like.

About the airflow.. it will remain the same as long as you dont replace the stock filter.
i have played around with different cuts and methods for different sounds.
