Fine...it is partially worn out now. So what is your suggestion to me for the next choice? [front and back]
The best combo for tourers is the IRC Wildflare 90/90 and Sirac 120/90! No doubts about that.

Same characteristics with the above combo too.


@ALL: This is a caution notice to all P220 Fi guys!

Have a look at the below attached image.

This capacitor is linked to the charging and ignition circuit of our bikes and its placed close to the battery compartment. This is very prone to rusting as during rains and water washing there is a chance of spray of water hitting and causing rusting over a period of time. The wire can rust and break off as show in the below image.

Your bike will die, nothing will work. Ignition will not come on and the fuel pump will not power up too. So dhakka start will not work too.

Recommended Action:Check for signs of rusting every 6-12 months for sign of rusting. This can be more of a problem for those living in coastal areas. If you see rusting, replace the part immediately. It costs only 45 bucks!
