did you checked the pressure on the rear gas shockers? my bike also used to veer towards the right whenever i apply brakes. went through a lot of rituals and finally asked the SVC people to check my forks and rear gas shockers.the pressure on the rear right one was considerably less than the left. they filled it up with nitrogen, that's what they told me and now its running much better than before.
coming to the calipers, slight amount of play is normal.check with other 220 to see if the movement is excessive on your bike.the caliper is connected to a piece of C shaped metal ( sorry dont know what it is called) with 2 screws,which in turn is connected to the fork stem. check those screws they might have come loose and bleed the brake lines fully and put new brake fluid. air inside the brake line may also result in the pulsating feeling on the lever.




) i rushed to the pbk for yet another major service. This time i was mentally prepared to face anything(read time & bill & shouting at higher officials). I had given the bike on Jan 8th but only the general service part could be completed on the same day. New brake pads, fuel filter & air filter, crash guard & One way clutch. So i went back on 15th. The job started & i was filled with joy. Everytime i patiently monitor the status of the work by sitting next to the bike from morning till night!
This time also it was the same. The Manager asked me to sit in the customer lounge but i politely refused!
Next came the new wheel bearings & the much awaited Swingarm Bush! The spares guy gave us the wrong sleeve & we wasted almost half an hour before i recognised that the part was not of a 220! Got it changed & carried on. By the time this hectic job was done it was almost evening. Then my throttle body was opened. To my horror the butterfly valve was totally clogged with carbon deposits!
Now the time was almost 7 & i test drove the bike. The bike was fine except for that it was stalling at idling!
The handling is pretty stiff & iam enjoying it! The lighting now is far better than before, courtesy- New headlight. The brakes are pretty sharp, courtesy- New pads & Motul DOT4 brake fluid.
