hey Yash, now am feeling guilty why I turned down your offer of having a test ride of your bike that day :P Anyways, looking forward to see you and your bike this Sunday.... Regarding the mods, the plugs don't really help, so you can begin initially with the air filter (& jetting), rear disk, and yeah porting and polishing. But I would suggest you to go in for the porting after the initial filter and jetting. Take it slowly and as you go with the mods, you can notice the change in the performance yourself. So enjoy working your bike up step by step and meanwhile, you will learn a lot too

Regarding the cosmetic mods, for the tires, I don't know much on that, just would say, don't go for REALLY huge tires making your bike look ricer. Don't put an engine cowl, as your engine is air cooled, the cowl will obstruct the air intake plus I personally feel the cowls spoil the look of the bike. You could have an open chain, but I have no idea about the lubrication, etc etc. Pop in the new Sports Unicorn's Back Alloys and do take off the saree guard (unless some elderly woman rides pillion) and you could even consider black matte finishing your engine too.

hey sphinx i am trying to achieve the naked roadster look so no engine cowls for me. i already told you i am looking at the tyre specs of p200 not more ok.
the idea of getting the engine with a black mat is good i put some thought into it!

and no chain cover removals they screw around with the chain's lubrication.

hey yash!!
you are at it so fast, i thought you would be happy with the cosmetic mods for now, i.e. tyres and alloys.

phew!!!, with those kind of mods, what are you aiming??? "speed run 2008" ???

anyways, do check out the desi version of ABS if you are going in for a rear disc, i think it will cost you around 1000/-.

rider60 · 4th August 2007, 02:27

dude raj kkr2k2 where so i find this desi version of abs?

bhai i am going to complete all these mods step by step in time, but i have just made the list not zeroed on them all, i will mod as per the need depending on the feedback from my bike!

a k&N rc-1060 hopefully

crab jetting

a tectrac xhaust system

engine boring to increase the cc to 165cc not more than that!

a port job

alloys hopefully p200's along with p200's tyre specs if they dont fit will i will definately get the karizma's alloys along with the disk plate that looks big.

a rear disk-break

a better speedometer set that would suit the look of my bike for i am trying hard to make it look like the naked roadsters like the honda hornet or the twister.

Okay, you are planning to increase the cc to 165. What pistons do you plan to use??

IMO, a rear disc brake is an overkill on Indian bikes. It doesn't serve any purpose, apart from looks perhaps, until your bike is capable of some serious accelaration and top whack (which Indian bikes are not) A good front disc is sufficient, since the ideal brake distribution between the front and rear should be 70:30. You will shell out close to 8K for the rear disc assembly.

sathyaprakash · 9th October 2007, 22:14

rider 60> As for Unicorn 100/70 is the max for the rear without mod.

highwayblaze · 10th October 2007, 02:38

performance changes right? did anyone mention weight loss program. Strip the bike of some unwanted parts / plastics etc. Loose some of its weight it'll help a bit.

praJEEP · 11th October 2007, 18:14

@rider whats your odo reading man,
how much did the k&n filter cost you

EDIT: which rear discs are you planning to put on the p220's.
