The black clip-on comes as stock fitment in the 220s (F & S)

They really look good....

On another note, I've decided to stick to SS oil for my engine - Valvoline..
Its super good considering the price and quality..

Only 'Black P220-F\S' have Black clip-on's and rear grab rails. All other colour 220's have normal silver(or as in 180) clip-on's. But, I didnot quite like the Black clip-on's, the ones with our 180's are more 'appealing'.

Valvoline is a good VFM oil, I too have the same opinion for it, as you do. I was using it till last service, but, the unavailability of the oil forced me to shift to Motul 3100 mineral oil.

The bike is making HUGE 'khat-khat' sound while hitting potholes. The sound is coming from somewhere in the handle-bars or fork, I cannot recognize the exact place. I showed to mechanic he told that some bearing will have tobe replaced??

Exactly.. its the 'Fork-cone set'.. Get it tightened first from mechanic or service center and if the sound comes again after a day or two then you need to replace it..

To tighten you need to loosen that big nut (in between the handle bar) and then tighten the ring just below it (bottom side of handle bar)..

Let me know of the updates

Yes, the mechanic did tightened the ring. But, the sound is still coming, and is now more prompt. I think that replacement is the only way. But why? is the cone set gone kaput so early? Bike has only 10000kms on ODO, till now.

Depends on lots of things.. Riding style/pot holes on roads/sometime if mechanic has tightened it too much/at times a fall too might ruin it..

Get it changed and it'll be fine .. Mine is still fine but my friend's bike has also done some 11k kms and the cone set is kaput..
