  • Pulsar 220-center stand issue[wil take 2min to rectify]

    Yesterday I did a simple mod But it Works out well, Am so happy about that so I just want to share with my fellow xbhpians

    I Bought my Pulsar220 Two months back,I use to bend my bike a lot we have lots of track kinda roads here but big prob when I do with pillion rider or alone center stand use to touch the road,For the first time i was like omg Wtf.. Came back home open xbhp and read the forum,hmmm its the Common issue in Pulsar 220

    So the solution provided by others-cut the stand[welding] which I feel little complicated or cut the bush and I dont think it much effective

    So I jus went near my ride jus a simple idea Got clicked Try that..Wow It came out well and am so happy about that..

    And I jus want to make 100% sure before posting Wheather It woks..Did lots of Test drive alone and with Pillion[80kg] No problem At all..!!

    Check the Picks u can understand easily guys








    Thatz It guys

              What a simple, yet incredibly effective idea! I confirm that this works on my Pulsar 180 UG3 too, which has open chain cover.


              @ IS Avinash: Well done man! This kind of effective creativity is greatly encouraged! Thanks a lot.
              When I tried leaning last time, I think it was this stand which was scraping the ground.

                Well, it does work upto some extent.. Tried it, and now the stand seems to hit those bigger speedbreakers a bit more lesser than before.. Although it might be coz i weigh 85kgs and my pillions aren't any lighter too..

                Still, highly recommended. Good Idea Mate..

                  No bro There wont be any sound.,If u completely remove the bush u may hear,but right now what we did is inverted the bush so still some part of bush present over there.so there wont be any issues or sound

                  yeah buddy thats what we did,Didnt remove completely as u may hear Thad thad sound whenever u use the stand.,so we jus changed the bush position[Inverted] instead of cutting etc.

                  Yeah me too tested a lot in curvy roads.., need to test in race track
                  As I was planning to go race track next month in MMSC track

                  @Everyone

                  Its easy job guys instead of removing the center stand or alter the center stand, this is an easy way to rectify so thats why I thought to share with my fellow xbhpians

                          Put some oil around it to reduce friction.
                          Get someone else to hold a screwdriver and push it from the upper portion, around the sides. Don't worry, the rubber is hard, it won't break.


                          An Easier Way:

                          Guys, my mechanic removed it but couldn't fit it back upside down, so I got the rubber cut and installed it back the normal way, instead of upside down:



                          It works well. There is a street in Ajmer, where my P180 always used to scrape the ground due to a brick protruding, but that didn't happen today.

                            Thanks Avinash for this tip..I think you replied to me about the same in the P220 ownership thread.

                            But I had taken it to PBK just the day before the response came in the P220 thread. The svc guy cut a big portion of the bush and placed it back as normal.

                            The stand hitting has almost become non-existent. Earlier it scraped even with a pillion weighing 60kg but now it doesn't touch even with a 80kg pillion on board.

                            I have a lot of speedbreakers on the way to work and I test it almost everyday.

                            I think this should be the first mod for all owners of P220.

                            Just an OT - are the shocks non-adjustable on the P220?

                              No probs Bro., Your welcome and regarding the shocks yup its adjustable but, I rather not to touch unless the mechanic know what he is doing ..
