First of all, I had to change my rear rim because of an accident, nothing happened to me or the bike, just the rear rim was bent too badly and could not be repaired.
The rim new costs around 3k or so.
The mod to the head is very secretive and you should ask joel the details, but what you can ask me is how much difference it has made to the bike, and the answer is MAJOR difference.
Also I wanted a new Conical air filter but Joel said that there is no need so I dont have one.
I have also not been able to get a dyno done, I had gone once but it didnt work out because the machine, if anyone knows anyone at any dealer of bajaj in and around Mumbai and can arrange a Dyno for a reasonable price, it would be great.

the P220 requires w50 grade oil... so why w40 ??

Well 5w40 means the oil will be best within min 5 degrees and 40 degree, living in Bombay and a frequent traveler to lonavala and mahabaleshwar, wanted a oil which could start in the early mornings where the temperature would be as low as 10 degrees and sometimes in winter even 5, so opted for this.
Will be servicing the bike day after tomorrow (wednesday) and will be replacing oil with the Motul FS oil, will give details of service and costs by then.
Will be again replacing quite a few parts as a precautionary measure.

Thanks for the info friend, I was waiting...Is your new rim same as stock?
I am too surpriced when u said 118 on 3rd gear.... are u sure about the same(just wondering)? have u dragged with stock p220s or any other machine to check real world gains?
Since joel said to avoid the filter change... we will save some money

Can u pm me the costs involved.. I wanna do the same. What is joel's expected power gain?

I thought it was 3rd gear but it wasnt, it was 4th and that was the first day so in the excitement could remember the gears properly.
Also the forth tops out at some 128-130, have tried that.
I have dragged my with other 220s, R15s, RTR180s and once even a Ninja, won against all with a noticible lead, but lost the drag with the ninja by a quarter of a second.( Drags were of 200 mts)

Rear rim is the same as stock.

That is very impressive... try it with joelled r15s to feel the heat..

That R15 can even beat the Ninja 250, so let's just leave that one

BTW, nice to see pulsar making such good power.

I could keep up with any Joelled R15 street setup bikes on the street, but if it was a track then no way.

Yup, but want more, hope can get money fast for something alot more interesting.

Just came back from giving my bike for a major service, engine flush, carb cleaning, new oil, etc.
First time given it to the Ghatkopar Service Centre and first time after the first service not present, really really hope they do the work well, else I will definatly take action.

Not even talking about Joel's R15, I said, Joelled R15 with street setup, meaning his stage 1 street setup.
That is what I meant.
Also the whole cam thing, I have wanted to do that, but have not been able to, dont have a tank cam.
