Still i suggest you wait for others opinion too.




Sure , will try it.
And bro please use multi quote while making more than one continueous post. :-)
it was while riding in low speed like 10-15kmph..

Just check by filling the tire with right amount of air. Check if there is any difference.


And by multi quote i mean the button next to the quote button, when replying to more than one post use that option, click the + sign of the posts you want to answer and click reply at the end of the page, that way it gets multi quote, and also use it to avoid contineous posts from ones side.
Hope you get it bro.

So either put tube or change rims, speaking from personal experience.
The fork might be a bit costly right ? So decided to get a fresh pair ?


Well bend rim is defnetly there will repair them and change them after 4 months.

Fork issue is a big pain in the ass i suggest any P220 not to throw his bike accedently, i prefer to get injuries rather than she having the injury bec i knw now that a small push on the handle will cause such a big issue. Just be cautious on that part especially.

I will go down to the Region office of BAJAJ here and explain my problem to them as i have already spent around 3k to repait them with no solution.
If they help me out it is fien otherwise i need to repalce them.
The cost of the new set is around Rs7k-8K max..

hopefully they repair them < HOPEFULLY"

Hello friends,
Received my pulsar 220 yesterday. Can someone help me with few queries I have:-

1. I am finding it difficult to get into neutral in first attempt. Have to keep trying to get into neutral. Is this normal (I am new to sport bike gear system but a quick learner... not finding why its not getting in first attempt ) ?

2. When I start my bike after long break, it does not start in first attempt. Also, second time when i start, it gets off when i give little throttle. Third time with little throttle, it works. Happens only in the morning / late night. Is it due to cold these days ?

3. I have run it for 180 km in 2 days (since i received my bike) in different intervals. Never went above 4k rpm. Am i riding it too much in the initial days? Need to get beyond that run in period quickly .

Congrats bro..on your beast.... and welcome
now,
1) gear shifts are a bit harder in p220 whn new... they become loose after the first service.... + ull get used to it .... and specially bringing neutral..

2) its because of cold starts... its becoz the air fuel mix is not set...but let it go for the first service...and ask them to set the air fuel ratio right... then it wont happen

3) no prob with running it....and your rev limit is fine... jst slowly for a few sec rev a bit higher while riding(abt 5k)... this will help adapt to higher revs... whn done like 1000 km ur off to rev

Ok bro, get it all repaired soon and have a nice time with her, by the way did you ever try contacting the bajaj area managers about the fork issue, how you spend 3k in the svc center on this and had no change at all. ?

Wow, congrats, yes public transport sucks. Well now that you got back on the road, have a great time with your bike again.

Strange sound from noise, so check for chain slackness, is it loose or overtight, and also lube it. Adjust it and lube it, it will be fine.
