Legality of these Kits:

Pollution standard needed in bikes in India currently is "BS II".

R15 has Fuel Injection, so it easily matches even BS III standards. So, EVEN after the kit, pollution will not be a factor, NOISE may surely be...

Maximum Noise at any revs has to be kept below 99 decibels.

Regarding FZ16, it's a carburetter bike, not an Fi. So, it will struggle to comply with BOTH Noise & Pollution Norms after the kit's installation. Unfortunately.

Guys, according to Ridetech Challenge Release, The "KIT" would be launched on 26th June.

Power might be around 26/27bhp and few people are saying the entire kit might cost around 60k!
More parts are expected from Yamaha too, than those 3 displayed on the Daytona Video above.

The better part is that the individual parts are choosable, we don't have to buy entire kit at once.

What do you say guys? As I informed, it is only for race purpose ...

[santanu]

well now that the racing kits are available for bikes in India , its time to head towards making Race Tracks in the north atleast.

[rockets we ride]

IMO, braking mods and chain sprocket mods are allowed for road use....

only ECU for R15 and exhaust system for both bikes is track use only....

[santanu]

This makes the cost of R15 go up by around 80000.00 (approx. heard) with ECU itself costing around 22000.00 INR

would prefer getting a new bike for that price.........
