Its plug and play .. as long as the bore is ready with Joel on the day . Should not take more than 2-3 hrs if everything is ready.. dont forget to change cylinder bottom seal gasket ..

Sure...Its next Monday 10th September. Is it a Day Care procedure?? Will the bike be available in a day???

Chinmay, Big bore will be great add-on on your bike. Let me know when you plan to visit Joel next. I have been ignoring my P220 lately ..

Procedure to fill glass wool!!

Can anyone please help me out how to refill the glasswool? and where can i find glasswool in Mumbai?

You mean Enfield Service Center? Do they keep stock of glass-wool for their exhaust? I will visit them this weekend.

Get your glass wool from any Enfield dealer, the stuff is good and long lasting, secondly make sure when you do your upgrade that you don't run lean on the stock carb, a little rich is ok, lean is not!

Rock wool and Alumina silicate are good substitutes i have heard. But dont know where to source these. I was informed by a guy who deals with alumina silicate, but that would have to be bulk orderd i think, like really big orders.
But from the properties of Alumina silicate-
-More heat resistance
-Less burnup rate as compared to glasswool
-better sound insulation capability

And joel did say he will come up with better quality glasswool in newer batch, dont know if he has done it yet.

P.S: Even im up for glasswool change.

Cheers

25000 KMs update

It been more than a year (almost 10,000KM) now I am running Joels setup (Re-worked Head + FFE).
I am back to stock exhaust as of now, as I have burnt all the Glass wool in my FFE due to which the bassy sound is gone. Will revert back to it once I have refilled with better quality Glass-wool that will last long. Any advice on this from current FFE users or Joel?
Coming to the point, the bike is performing quite well. Ride-ability is better than the stock 220.
Smokes any bike that tries to show-off (just kidding ). Has proved its reliability on long tours and within city.
Mileage is more or less same, however, I think it is good as now I redline my bike quite often.
One thing worth mentioning here is, after the MODS I never faced Cold start issue again. Also a couple of other minor issues too were solved.

The setup is so good, I never felt like changing my ride. Quite a few good bikes were launched (CBR, Duke, 200NS, R15 v2) but none of them were convincing enough.

Now, my past record with keeping a bike for long has never been good. My family thinks I spend all the money I earn in selling and buying bikes. They think thats the reason behind my poor bank balance...LOL......i bought and sold 6 different bikes within a span of 6 months (no exaggeration) before hanging on to my current 220 for more than 3 years now. This bike in stock condition was very good. It bought a huge smile whenever I rode it.
However, after Joel cast his magic on my bike it has become lot more fun.

Now comes next level of MODS. Next week my bike will undergo heart transplant. Yes!!!! Finally 230 Bore on my bike. Got some very good reviews from Ashish (AshuNik), JoelKraju. Will stick with existing Carb for the moment and will install that in next stage. I guess this is how I will be able to appreciate better the various upgrades that will be in place.

can i order head kit already Pnp to joeled?

@arjun

I just have the FFE from Joel. Nothing else as of now. For costs,availability please PM or email Joel directly.

Hey can u pls tell me what was the total costs(everthing) involved with the entire Joeling of ur P220??..Curious..

Any comments on the cost required to Joel your bike up?

Does the latest batch of FFEs have the race concepts logo on them ? And do the 220 specific FFEs have a stopper for the main stand ? Im getting my ride Joelled this weekend so I just wanted to know ..
Also , is it possible to mess around with the finishing of the exhaust ? Im not a big chrome lover I mean , can we achieve a carbon fibre/matte black finish ? Can paint withstand the heat of the exhaust ? But wont painting cause reduced heat dissipation ? Please give some inputs guys ..

Firstly,Less weight. Better pweer-to-weight ratio.
'free flow'-the words speak mate. No cat-con for better flow of exhaust gaeses,maintaining flow velocity of the gases to get the best cyl. exhaust purging. This does result in louder noise levels and more pollution.How much? it depends.
Also when the intake is increased slightly, you need to match the outlet ratio,which in turn becomes a hard job with a stock exhaust.
Not only its non cat-con characteristic and light weight is what makes it a performer, also the tuned length of the primary pipe, and the diameter, play a significant role when it comes to enhancing the engine capabilities.


Please note these are just the outlines,to provide you the basics.
