    150 is quite capable of cruising at 100 for whole day.. just need to take care of it..

    use god engine oil(Gulf, Motul), spark plugs(NGK), good servicing, proper tuning, good tyres and basic points.. and it can easily reach 110..

    change in sporkets and all i think is the last thing you should try after your bike is performing on peak..
    mine reaches to a 100 with a lot of effrt n d engine seems too strained at that....so 4get about a 110 cruising

      @hotspin,
      my point is
      1. generally P150 reaches 100 easily. so there might be some wear (spark plug, clutch plate etc) in your bike. I will advice to get that corrected first. And when the stock bike is in good condition, then for for other changes.. my 2 cents.
      2. I regularly tour on p150 UG3 with a pillion rider (my wife)..
      - it reaches 100 easily.. after spending some time with full throttle can take to 110..
      - Mileage at 80-100 returned is 35KMPL.. 100-110 retuned is 25KMPL.. The point is Mileage and performance are at two opposite ends
      - Spark plug MUST be changed every 10K kms. And clutch plate after 25K as per your riding style. these are two major things for old bike performance.

      ride on..

        you need to go in for a more powerful bike for fast riding...

            more info on spark plug.. DTSI means two spark plugs..
            Orginal --> 80 Rs per spark plug
            NGK G-power --> 160 Rs. each.. I have these.. very good performance as per price
            NGK Iridium--> 550 Rs each. price speaks for itself .. but FOr that much money, i am not sure they are VFM.. people vouch for them all the same.

            I recommend NGK - GPower for VFM..

            best of luck..

            I think 30K KMs old spark plug.. changing them you will be in Air immediately ..
            and old spark plug might be the reason of extra stress on clutch plates..
