First of all, be sure to mention 2 things:
1. Your city of residence (so we can estimate the climate)
2. The odometer reading of the bike
3. Month + year of bike purchase
4. Approx. Time at which you usually start the bike for the first time in the morning (i.e. usual cold start timings).

For better P220 related help, ask about your issue here:

Hi, I finally found this forum in an expectation to my problem where Bajaj itself failed at it. Without wasting time, here I go -

When I start my bike in the morning, basically it should race itself for 15-20 seconds so that the oil can be spread through the engine properly(as explained in the P220 manual). It used to be the same but from past 2 months, its not happening. Now when I start my bike in the morning, the issues I am facing are -

1. No auto race at startup. I need to race it manually for more than a minute to make the engine warm and keep it started.
2. Engine shuts down itself if not accelerated manually for a while.
3. Once the engine is heated up, no more shutdowns without acceleration. It becomes normal afterwards.
4. Now while being on-road, if I shutdown the engine in traffic and start again, the engine auto races and I have to wait for 5-8 seconds to get it completed else it knocks if I don't wait and start riding.
5. So basically, the auto race happens when the engine is hot and it doesn't when its cold.

I got this problem checked by the Service Center and this all happened -

- Changed the Auto Choke.
- Changed Heat Sensor connected to the engine.
- Set the tuning (oil/air adjustments).

But the problem still remains the same. If I ride the bike without Auto-choke, there is no auto races in any condition at all but the bike performance goes down a lot. The power fades after 10-15 kms and the bike seems to be very heavy even at the top gear. Seems like that the bike don't want to run but i am forcing it to run.

Its the 5th time I got this checked by the Service center in pat 2 months and still they couldn't fix it. I want my bike to act normal as it suppose to be. It should auto race if the engine is cold and shouldn't auto race when its hot. It must not require a manual acceleration to warm up the engine to prevent shut down.

Did they diagnose/check/replace the BCU? Its the mastermind behind the whole general functioning if the bike. The only other culprit could be the carburator itself, if im not wrong..

I have high hopes here and I guess I would get my bike's problem resolved here. It gives me an ungraceful ride and takes my peace of mind at all.

This seems to be a quite different problem. Some more possible solutions might be here according to me.
1. Do have a thorough check of the Carburetor, its shutter , the Jet . A defective Carburetor might create a problem sometimes.
2. Do get the Accelerator cable changed. Sometimes a defective accelerator cable might create problem too.
3. As you have mentioned, the bike dosent seem to run properly, once get the Engine/ Clutch checked/ & valves too.

I will tell them to check the BCU. But what is a BCU?

I asked them to check the carburator but they just say that carburator is ok.

basics of all.. what bout the spark plug ??

a short spark plug gives similar symptoms.. above that as per bajaj manual i believe 15k km the engine head de-carbonization is a part of service was that done ?

**rgupta52** · 03-05-2013, 12:40 AM

I dont know what has happened. But aftet replacing the auto choke with a new one, the bike isn't loosing power like earlier. Its running like a bull like before. The only problem is if I kill the engine and start it again, it races for 15-20 seconds automatically and then you can start riding. If I start riding while its auto racing, I get jerks and it keeps racing while changing gears. Bottom line is that it auto races when the engine is hot and doesn't auto race when the engine is cold. The normal behaviour should be the opposite to that infact. It only creates problem while I be in a traffic signal. When the signal turns green, you just start the engine and ride. But now either I don't kill the engine or I have to start it 30 secs before the signal goes green so that it completes the auto race.

Spark plugs changed but the problem remains the same. One more thing. .. does a remote lock can create problem to other sensors in the bike?
I have a remote lock fitted in the bike but Bajaj people disconnected the power supply from battery saying that it creates issue to other sensors.

What about carb slide ? Did you check that ?

And the extra lock shouldn't mess with the sensors.

**rgupta52** · 03-09-2013, 08:50 PM

What's a card slide? And how come the sensor of remote can be messed with other sensors? It has just a power connection from the battery and a sensor below the pillion seat.

Carb slide is a part of the carb. Remove the carb and check if the slide is having a smooth action, else you will have to get it cleaned.

And about the sensor thingy, that's what i told, there won't be any problem of sensors just because the remote lock is put on the bike.
