I recently bought K&N air filter for my bike and installed it in my bike. The mechanic that i went to dint re-jet it. He simply tuned my carb. I dunno why he did this. Maybe due to shear laziness. He was not my regular mechanic. His shop was closed and i had to opt for another one..! Can we rejet the carb on our own.. Can anyone tell me how to do it...?

You have to purchase a carburettor main jet, costing some Rs. 80-150 depending on which one you purchase. Main Jet is a kind of a metal part with a hole between it. It's located in the carburettor. I have installed it on my P180. BTW How do I explain it here?

You can choose a size 5-7 bigger than your stock one. It seems your first mechanic just tuned the carburettor's AFR slightly, but its a very minor adjustment considering that aftermarket air filters increase the air flow a lot.

Which bike do you have? I have a P180 UG3 (Main jet #117.5) and after installing K&N I upjetted it to #125 jet from Karizma.

@ Adrenaline X: the K&N Air filter is a direct fit to ZMR's Fi? What about the performance and engine temperature? Is it running lean or normal?

K&N and Free Flow Exhaust For Pulsar 180 UG4 (Mumbai)

Hey guys.

I recently bought my Pulsar 180 UG4 and it has served me well so far.

I am planning to install K&N, and maybe a Free Flow (I dont really like the thick sound from it) , and I live in Mumbai. It would be great if you guys could recommend me a place where I could buy these accessories and perhaps somewhere where I can get proper fitting done. I dont want to follow the trial and error method, I am sure that there are experienced people around who can execute a nice job.

My budget is 3k (Just for K&N + Spark Plugs, Labor, etc) I dont mind paying a little extra if I get results, and I will only buy a Free Flow exhaust that has been tested before, and is made by an established company specifically for my bike.

Hi everyone, could you guys please let me know as to which air filter (K&N universal paper filter or others) would best be suited for Yamaha R15 , more over since it is FI are there any performance gains/losses due to the filter ?

[silverback]

hi guys
am planning to get a free flow air filter installed on my fz-16
everyone is suggesting rc-1060.
i have rode fz's fitted with rc-1060 and rc-1100 and find them pretty ineffective .
someone suggested to try out ru-0200 .
ru-0200 costs twice as much as rc-1060 .

so, can someone tell me if fitting in an ru-0200 for that much would make a significant difference in performance or will it be ineffective like the rc series ?

thanks.

KNN for Pulsar 180 UG-IV

Hey Guys...
Iam thinking of installing a KNN RC1060 to my Pulsar 180 UG-IV.
Current status-
25,000kms mark achieved
Ridden usually around 6-8k RPM
Fuel economy---30-35kmpl
Bike reaches a top speed of 125-130kmph if redlined.....

I need some help here-
1) changes that will be required.... rejecting or anything from core installation to use. where the filter is usually installed...directly to carb or inside the filter box!!!! These notes will be handy for the mechanic!!!
2) changes that will be seen after installation in terms of average or top speed or engine wear and tear ( Maintenance problems, if any)

Very curious regarding the upgrade as i do not wish to spoil the performance if this filter is of no use!!!!!

Jetting is a must and if done properly, you will see some performance gain. But after using K&N on 2 of my bikes, i feel its not worth it. IMO, K&N conical filters does not filter as effectively as it should and doesnt suit our Indian conditions. Hence could result in more damage than gain.
