P220 FI - Engine stalled while running
It's a dampener...yesterday, I was coming back from B'lore when it happened...I was near to Sri Perumbudur, cruising at a pretty comfy speed of 90KMPH, when the engine suddenly stalled and I had to pull over on the road-side...my initial thought was engine-overheat, as I had enough fuel in tank...so, I flexed my bones and joints, gave the bike a break for few minutes...and then turned the ignition on...whoa!!!it's started and immediately stopped as if engine has lost all the power...tried checking the cables from battery, the A/F screw, opened even the fuel tank lid n tried starting...nothing worked...I called up nearest Bajaj Service centre...one mech came, checked for half an hour and then pushed the bike to the centre...the service centre was closed but still 2 guys struggled for 2 hours, tried few ways to fix it...only in vein...I had to leave the bike and called up the Service centre near to my house, to pick up the bike & get it repaired in my area...any guess what could have caused the problem?

i faced the same problem with my 220 F and in my case the power was going off all of a sudden on its own and then display went off even in the ignition-on key position.
It was found that the lock was the culprit and the links inside the lock had sulphur in it !
Get the lock checked !2003 - 2009 : Pulsar 150 Classic (Sold)

@Praful: you are right. The engine stalled at 90kmph...but the bike was rolling on, so I managed to pull over at road-side
@Mik: that's some lead, I would say. Tomorrow will go to the service centre & ask the mechs.
@Mecho: It felt as if fuel is over...but then I had good amount of it...i wasn't running with lights/console display
@argee: I saw the post from the Bike-Advice, few weeks ago...have now seen once again...my bike behaves close to #13, but even if it stops, I use to switch ON the ignition to start again...it also comes close to #16, only once in 3 years of service did I manage to rip it off till 129KMPH after which the engine was over-heated & shut off
@smoker: all other electricals are still functioning properly...only engine isn't idling...within a second of starting, it's shutting off...as if loosing power due to no fuel...Sulphur is an interesting hint...will try to check if any such thing is there
--------
Latest news of my bike is, the service centre near to my house (the one on GST road, near Chitlapakkam) has brought my bike from Sri Perumbudur shop...tomorrow I will go & check the progress...Last edited by JonnyRider; 01-19-2011, 12:25 AM.

Never mind on 13 or 16 as you've an FIOriginally posted by JonnyRider View Post...my bike behaves close to #13, but even if it stops, I use to switch ON the ignition to start again...it also comes close to #16,
Looks like a symptoms of lean too; How about the fuel pump, have you had a chance to service the fuel pump?Originally posted by JonnyRider View Postonly once in 3 years of service did I manage to rip it off till 129KMPH after which the engine was over-heated & shut off
IMO, take it to PBK, sit with them, explain the symptoms. All you need is only hearing ears, not deaf & fast working hands.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

^^^ could be
Ideally the rate at which the air enters to the fuel tank should be equal to the rate of dispensing the fuel from the tank. If the fuel dispenses more than the speed at which the air fills, there's a vaccum & thus fuel cannot dispense easily.
From what I understand, in the case of FI vehicles, this type of issue is rare to happen because of the fuel pump & that's the reason I suspect the fuel pump. That's why I said, you need hearing ears who can listen & understand the problem rather than jumping to work on something that they think they know.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Do it carefully & don't make him feel that you're more knowledgable than him. Talk casually ONLY about the issue & see where he throws his ideas on the issue.Originally posted by JonnyRider View PostI'll ask the mech about this...Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
