Dada Thanks for the information. I m not saying that i have to go to mechanincs for cold start (I have a Pulsar 150 and i have never ever faced any problem in Delhi with Cold start). I mean to say that as per me i think a carb need regular tuning as i have had in my case with my pulsar 150 as compared to a FI version of the bike.Leave a comment:

The only drawback I felt on the FI is that it makes *some* dependent only on the authorized SVC's mainly when it comes to servicing the bike. Even if the SVC is worst on their job, the options to lookout becomes less.. sometimes none.
I know that not all the issues we get on a bike is only on the engine which needs SVC'c help. The practicality is that while we give the bike for service is when we tend to list most of the issues. So the listing of issues mainly happens on the SVC's and we feel helpless when those are not addressed.
Whereas in a carb, we say a goodbye to the SVC forever and find an alternate(May be even a local mech). Just my opinion.Last edited by men_in_jean; 03-09-2012, 06:00 PM.Leave a comment:

Yaar... for cold start, do you think non Fi owners go to Service Centre everytime??? Arrey bhai mere... Fi owners will push start the button & the bike will come to life. Non fi woners may have push the button few more time but eventually they will start. They mey have to give throttle input too while keeping in idle when starting up. That's it/ Only & only in case of extreme cold, it might get tough.Originally posted by ashish33us View Post
It's as simple
Diesel car costs more than petrol. Only & only if the user thinks he can get better value in long run (read avg monthly use quite high) in comparison to the extra money he is giving over the petrol variant upfront, he will buy a Diesel car. Clear.
If the Fi can prove to provide much more mileage & other factors then it has a value add in long term.
It's not downplaying Fi system right away.Leave a comment:

But for me Dada power delivery is more important and with FI i will also get added advantage of cold start and less rounds to the mechanincs.
also your travel log is just great i am loving it i have read it a month back and again today reading them and feeling the same excitment. (Short Honeymoon trip & Swarghat)Leave a comment:

True but you know what? If manufacturer comes with non Fi version giving same mileage as Fi, people & even me & you will go with non Fi since the price of the bike is low. It's upto manufacturer how they can come up with an Fi bike giving much better mieage to the bike when compared to non fi.Originally posted by ashish33us View Post
Advantages of cold start & linear power delivery is something secondary feature.Leave a comment:

They only "disadvantage" is high initial cost, that's it. Chill man.
Ya i agree with you Dada that's why i was saying in my earlier posts that a FI is a must in modern days bikes. Specially bikes over 150cc like Pulsar 200nsLeave a comment:

Am i missing something why people would down play the role of FI on a bike. They do provide excellent fuelling, don't they and thats why in other *read developed* markets FI is the norm.
The only more cost that I see is the initial, I have not faced a single issue with my Fi in the past 18000K run.Leave a comment:

My reply
But do expect a much better vfm since new P200 will be sharing the major part of the engine character as of Duke, meaning good quality.Originally posted by Eshan-P180 View PostLeave a comment:

@Nav
Since the 200 is still in testing phase i have some queries...
1) By installing a FI unit will the bike see a rise in power or it might go downside??
2) Bajaj is in this league from quite sometime now, do they plan to give some premium service with the 200 or not??
Premium service means the one given to Ninja 250 owners, they have a special way out regarding spares and repairs so is it the same for the 200?? or just the way it is currently.Leave a comment:
