As if debates around pro and stock racing weren't enough, someone actually recorded the sound of an engine before and after 'grooving' the cylinder head, Somender-style:

for those who didn't know somedra singh is the man behind the ace rallyist Jagat Nanjappa's Yezdi Roadking - ported, shaved piston, all bolts replaced with socket screws/allen bolts, italian front forks, (i never get tired of repeating this old description from Car & Bike International or Indian Auto Journal; I forget which) capable of cruising at 140-160 kph, and consuming something like 12-14kmpl.

Like Ganesha, longtime Kodai and Chennai haunter said they called it, 'Somendra Singh ka Masala'

Got an email reply from Somender Singh

Thanks Arunesh,
There is enough about grooving 2 stroke heads on my site & elsewhere on the net ~ check the forum for 2 stroke mods. That's about it as far as grooving goes.

I have had an overdose of Yezdis all my life no amount of suggestions made any sense to the senseless who ran the company. There is no sign of anything left at Mysore.

i am really busy with marketing my invention to the big 5 hence palying around with the yezdis is forgotten story. ( maybe Nanjappa will remember what i did to his winning bikes )

All the best in restoring jawas and yezdis.
sing !!!
