Bike Query Approved

Dude,
If ur looking for Track oriented performance then R15 should be ur first option as it's designed for tracks and modifying an R15 and 220 is not that easy as both has ECU mapping that cant be changed as of now and i dont think so there are guys doing that, so u need to concentrate only on the engine mods like our JOEL did to his R15 and for that some needs serious brains as if u play the game wrong then ur in deep trouble.

So, the ideal choice would be ZMA which u can start off with some good free flow filters, Upjetting, Iridium plugs, Iginition cables, Quick throttles......etc...etc...

why four strokes only if i may ask?

p220 from my side.. its well tech-equipped.. cruises at high speeds well(fits ur need).. mods can be done or not tht i dont kno..
karizma is an excellent piece but its not been upgraded in a substantial way for long ..

the above guy already mentioned
its difficult to mod

@dual disc 200 well i'm not lookin for minor mods i'm lookin for somethin wacky like our fellow member kushanth had done with his zma 170kmph on a zma, i'm concentrating 70%drag bike 30% street capable

@outworldly maniac no 2strokes cause it's hard to maintain as for 4strokes it's easier even if modded

samjha nahi!!
what are you saying ?

and ........ you cant have both track and street bikes as far as i know
ofcourse you can have fast street bikes.......

drags are a different thing altogether........
they are meant for race and race only
not commuting or for that matter even touring
drags only

@outworldly maniac sorry bro a bad typo, anyways i want it for drag purpose only but want to ride it around the city 2wise a week atleast... wat would you say about kushanth's zma ??? it does 170kmph yet it's street friendly to an extent as far as i know (i maybe wrong)

sorry bro
dont know who kushanth is and neither about his zma

i dont have deep knowledge of bike tuning etc,,,,,,,,
you could refer some expert

but one thing i am sure
if you use DRAG in the real meaning
lemme tell you the properties of drag bikes as far i know
1. freaking fast pick up
2. do high speeds at any gear
i mean figures like 80 kmph in second gear , first gear ( speakly roughly )
and how do you expect this kinda bike to be street ride able
not possible

they have different kinda setting,,,,,,,,,

there are some bikes whose piston have holes in them after one , two , etc drag races.......... again how can we use them on street..... some high quality last long.. may be some more kms....... but dont think really long

the guy you talking about must have had street porting done on his bike
hence its fast........ although i doubt that 170kmph claim....
and also never heard of a multipurpose drag and street bike!!

ofcourse i am not referring to those monsters RD or rx or tzr which are crazy fast and hence serve drag purpose too..... but lose ofcourse
to bikes build specially for drag purpose

it seems some has misguided you or you have built some misconceptions

lets see what others say.,,,,,.
i may be wrong,,,, talking according to what i know

^^ +100 i agree with @outworldly maniac, i too dont know anything about our fellow member kushanth and his ride. The performance mods of Street bikes and Drag bikes are completely different and one has to choose his destination for the mods. If ur not looking into serious drags then u can carry on with street porting and that too u can do it only after ur first run-in period!!!

strange you guys dont know about kushanth it's the same guys with who's bike joel won the Race to the clouds(nandi hill climb)... yes i think his bike is street ported but does amazing drag timings.

Ps: since xBhp has reseted lots of threads have vanished thus you dont know about kushanth

Well.. If you are going for 70% drags, than I would perosnally go for a 220 for short drag. If its a mixture of both, than I wouldnt mind a R15 anytime.

Ok ur options are fairly simple, take out the p220 and keep the zma and r15 as your only options. P220 engine platform is bad for serious performance upgrades.

zma, lots can be done as i've seen on kushanth's bike but relatively more expensive, plus straight line speed in not complimented by handling on the zma whereas the r15 can take a stage 1 performance upgrade and still offer unmatched handling at high speeds. this aint a theoretical take on things, this is an opinion based on my ride on joel's bike, will post a review on his thread later tonight.

i'd say r15 is more economical to mod than the zma, offers stock reliability (reliability is based on the setup run, whether if its for street or for race) and unmatched handling to put all that power to the road. IMO R15 is the way to go. Both the bikes are the same to mod, if u have the right person to do it. In my books there's only person i know who can do it the right way!!

there's more to kush's bike than calling it a street port, cant divulge all the details here (i think joel or kush had mentioned it before) but that bike is unmatched by any other so called 'performance modded' zma in india. nandi hills 8 sec lead over the 2nd fastest bike is a huge lead, especially in a race, and if i remember correctly with only a few kilos lighter than stock.

@KwokFist the zma has the cc advantage which the r15 cant match
