    I have one question in mind and this might be the most appropriate place to ask...
    Is the handling different between P-200/P-220, heard they lap similar on MMSC
    is there a difference between Fi and Carb 220's too in the handling dept?

    I believe most FI owners have gone for soft/sticky compounds, is it on-level with carb 220?

      I knew there was something fishy about the Eurogrip tyres but never bothered to find it out until you posted this. Well, here is a confirmation to what you've said - TVS Rubber

        OT: Well TVS has just launched the RTR in Brazil and they have used a new design of tyres/speedo console.I am not sure of the brand of the tyre but looks like a soft compound tyre akin to the R15s. Hope they bring it to India!!

          'We' have a lot of room to grow. I do not thing we have many riders here who can ride their bike's even ZMA's and Pulsars to their limits.

          I read somewhere on xbhp only that someone fills their tank (Pulsar 220) with only 2 litres of petrol because handling is affected if there is more fuel in the tank. According to me its pure BS. These things affect handling etc after at extreme skill level when you are touching your knee down and have to go past a competitor with high throttle and lean the bike in other direction at the same time.
          Well, every person can have a different perspective on handling. For one it can be the pure lateral Gs/ centrifugal force provided by the bike in a corner, for some it can be the flickability, for some it can also be behaviour under severe braking and acceleration and from an engineering perspective, all are parts of handling. Its not so difficult to notice the difference in handling between a full tank and an almost empty tank. It would have a significant effect on the centre of gravity of the bike and hence would alter the lean angle required to acheive the maximum cornering force/lateral force on the tyre and the ability of the bike to change direction. So it isnt entirely appropriate to claim that one needs to drag knees before trying to improve any of the handling aspects of the machine.

            Are the IRC's also like the TVS ones ???
            now all the Pulsars alloted are fitted with IRC's...
            My Q is whic is better ? IRC or MRF ... and which one is the soft compound one ? Is soft compound vis a vis normal any better or not...
