it will cost you around 2k rs.u can get it from Methods Automotive.
knfilters@methodsonline.com

see the closest distributor of k&n.

it will help your drivability and the pick up.
maybe your air screw setting will have to be altered.


cheers,
satya


PS:its k&n and not KN&N

It will change the sound of the bike i.e. will sound more grunty also the midrange will improve, tho u may lose a little on the mileage but not much.. also u need to re-jet ur bike otherwise just puting the filter only will not be of much help & will not give the actual results.

p.s. btw its K&N

see when u put a free flow filter like K&N the amount of air which goes in, increases but ur jet is still providing the same amnt of fuel as it was before, so in effect now ur carb is getting more air than before & less fuel w.r.t. air, so u need to adjust the jet in order to utilise this extra air input, from my exp( not K&N but othe free flow ai filter on my P180DTSi) only the filter will improve ur mid ranbge but ur top end now will come slower than before & afre puttina bigger jet the top now comes easily but its still not been jetted properly which i am not able to do coz of unavailability of time :(

neways hope i made some sense if u have more doubts just lemme know

Hey techno,

what jets are you using? Or are you just running with the screw set to a slightly rich mixture, if so, how many turns?

am running on slightly bigger jets which came wid classic Pulsar 180, size is 115 (stock for 180 DTSi was 112.5)
have not made the mixture much rich, it still returns me a mileage of 39-40
