Key Factors to refer before Bike Modification

FITTING THE FREE FLOW AIR-FILTER
Fitting an after market free flow air-filter increase the percetnage of air in the air-fuel mixture. Thus, an engine tends to run lean and gets hot quickly therby affecting the overall perfromance. In order to compensate for the added air flow, you have to supply more fuel as well. This can be done by retuning the carburetor but in most cases requires up jetting it. Hence, it is vital that you reject the carburator.

INSTAL OVERSIZED PISTON
Increasing the bore won't help. You need to alter the size of the valves, and allow better engine breathing. Last but not the least, get all this done by a proffesional mechanic.

REPLACING REAR TYRE
It is now become a trend to customise regualr bikes with bigger rear tyre. Well it increases the stability of bike but the main factor in customising bigger tyre is, reduce in economy. And for regular bikes it may vary in the peroformance level too. Also, the stock tyres are quite lightweight and putting wider tyres will hamper the overall performance of the bike.

Well feel it will be better if you upgrade to a more powerful bike than doing heavy modifications to the regular bikes.
