XPulse 230 And XPulse 220: Installing Big Bore Kits, Racing ECU, High-Lift Cam

Sick and tired of waiting for the bigger Hero XPulse? Just build one yourself. I'll show you how in this video.
I have a group of riding buddies who have fancied riding XPulses now, trickling down from bigger bikes. One problem though - the XPulse doesn't make a whole load of power.
And so, one of my friends contacted Bengaluru-based NMW Racing, and sourced 70mm and 71mm high compression pistons, an ECU with four pre-loaded maps, a six-spring clutch, a high lift camshaft and a racing ignition coil.
You can take a look at NMW Racing's website here: nmwracing.com/
Hopefully, these bikes will be ready to hit the road in about a week, and once the running in is complete, I will bring you riding impressions of both the builds compared to a stock XPulse.
The modifications are being carried out at Speedmonks Performance Centre at Mayapuri in New Delhi, under the capable hands of Atul Singh.
For any motorcycle parts, tyres or service requirements, you can reach out to Atul Singh at: [phone]
For those in Gurgaon, you can visit the main branch of Speedmonks by contacting Gilles Singh at [phone]
If you like my work and want to know about the modifications that I make to my motorcycles, you can check out my Instagram page: / abhinavbhatt19
Thank you so much for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers

Hey Abhinav, Which engine oil are you using on xpulse ? Currently, I am using motul 10w50 on my xpulse 200 2v ... Have seen no issues so far, infact i feel better performance than company oil. Also, after how many kilometres should i change the engine oil. Hope you see this. Fan from Nepal. I absolutely love your content. Thank you.

[@futuuu]

Hey guys! Greetings from Turkey :) I have a pulsar ns200. Now a days I fell in love with xpulse 4v. I am very close to buy one but one thing is stopping me: the topspeed issue. I am not an offroad fan. I usually use my bike in my daily life, just for commuting. But time to time I also use it for long jurneys. Thats where topspeed matters the most. I am around 95-100 kgs and a stock xpulse 4v can reach to may be 120 at max. What I want it to cruise by 130-135 without overheating or over-screaming :) So finally comes the question: can such a modification (piston, cylinder, ecu, camshaft and clutch plate) make an xpulse 4v do that?

[@abhinavbhatt]

Wait for the liquid cooled XPulse 210. That will solve your problem.

[@whereismybikekey]

Great stuff bro... By how much bhp and torque ratio it increases... And what will be the oil capacity increase if I consider modifying it. Thanks bro... Keep up the amazing crisp and clear content...👍

[@GFMSG]

Is the clutch the same, website says for hero impulse, isit the same for xpulse. I ordered mine as my clutch kept spoiling after every one month, hope the nmw will make a big difference

[@JaisiKarniWaisiBharniMynameHSD]

Brother Happy new year how can get this installed to my xpulse 200 bs 4

[@abhinavbhatt]

You'll have to find a reputable technician in your city who can do this. If in NCR, contact Speedmonks.

[@adrenotechnico]

Question for atul if he reads this comment: Won't knocking increase as the compression ratio is being increased and also bore size

[@amithkashyap5819]

yes, it may affect. You need all the right machines and knowledge to play around with the engine and ECU, simply doing something will affect one or the other things.
