220 can surely be started with Push - Start.
I had to do this on the last day of my just concluded South Karnataka / western ghats tour, last week. My bike's battery was discharging pretty quickly when headlights are ON. Reason being the coil failing to provide enough power for the headlights. I didn't have time to replace the coil, so took the risk and went ahead for a 5 day tour. After riding for 200 kms in night on the last day, battery was completely discharged. So started the bike in an incline and somehow got back home at 2 AM on Tuesday. Bike didn't start y'day monring also - when the battery is weak, the bike won't crank also. Again i push started in 2 gear. So in emergencies, it can surely be push started.
Praful, got the tire changed ?
My bike's high RPM warning indicator starts blinking only at 130 kmph now - The SIRAC effect It used to start blinking at around 122 when i was running on VYDE.
Last weekend trip was historic as well.
My bike's odo was reading 30 K Kms when climbing Kodachadri at night !
Dec 15 th - the last day of the trip - was her first b'day - now
she is One year old and odo reads 32 K Kms
She has been flawless during this one year , filled with touring.

Has anyone tried OSRAM Night Breakers bulbs on your 220's ?
I guess they are available in H7 configuration as well. And same wattage also - 55 W OR 60 W

I am thinking of going for these bulbs for both high & low beams - any suggestions ?
