I own the new Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i, which is just five months old. I wish to improve its performance by installing a K&N air-filter and Iridium spark plugs. Is it advisable to go ahead with these modifications?

AAA While you could do such modifications, provided you find a plug rated for the exact same heat range and dimensions as used by your bike, we suggest you simply stick to the stock parts on your bike, as any performance gains realized after putting in the new parts will be marginal, and almost negligible.

The Mahindra XUV 300 facelift will be called the XUV 3XO. Should more brands rename models for facelifts?

Yes, it could give new life to a slow-selling car Yes, but only if there are significant changes No, it's confusing and dilutes the brand name No difference, the product speaks for itself
