  • p220 dts-i exhaust problem...

    Hi friends...sum 20 days back my silencer started making vibrating noise..the noise started coming after the bike had run for 4-5 kms...noise came at around 4k rpm & above...if the bike engine was switched off for 5 mins the noice disappeared but reappeared after 4-5 kms riding...my silencer was replacd under warranty...the probiking mechanic told me that there is a small pipe in the silencer which sometimes breaks & causes noise....now today the same noise had started to come again out of my new silencer..though it is less loud than before...what could be the cause this...i have done following mods on my bike...can these be the reasons for this noise

    1. about 40 days back i tried my hand at sprocketing on my p220 dts-i...used 38 teeth p220 fi rear sprocket...left the front sprocket untouchd.....

    2. secondly i by mistake used k&n RC1060 for about 3.5k kms...since then shifted to R1100....

    3. i also replaced my main jet sized 115 with a 125 jet...


    please friends i am in urgent need of help...

        Mods.... I am not sure about but I met one fella with same issue at PBK. After getting heated for abt 5-6mins the exhaust was leaking from the bottom of the swingarm-silencer joint. Just check if there is any black moss on the joints of silencer else try to sense if the silencer is leaking anywhere by running around your palm when in idling. Hope it helps.

                  Either one of the multiple wire gauze is broken or the exhaust pipe is bent/cracked. Take it to a local mechanic. He will open up the bottom end of the silencer, weld the affected area and then weld the outer cover back.

                    Changing the filters and jets got nothing to do with it.

                    It happened with my p200 twice. first time I changed the exhaust under warranty. It Ran okay for 4-5 kms but than one day, while riding from office to home I took an offroad shortcut, coz road was blocked for maintainance. Exhaust got a small hit by a brick from below. It was a minor hit so I didn't bother. But few days after exhaust started making that noise again.

                    It happens becouse there are two concentered pipes connecting exhaust-tec to the end can, may be to suppress noice effectively. So if inner pipe's welding gets damaged. it starts vibrating and makes that irritating noise.

                    The best solution of this is replacement with new one.

                    Or you can cut the exhaust in three pieces. ( look in the pic )

                    first cutting point -> from where the exhaust tec ends (there will be a joint) .
                    Secont cutting point -> near the endcan

                    pull inner pipe out from the center piece.

                    Now weld all pieces back together carefully with proper alignment.
                    put some matching silver paint on welded joints.
                    you can also weld an aftermarket end can instead of stock one like I did.

                    but I wont suggest you this one as this takes a lot of time and of course you'll need a very skillfull mechanic to do all this tedious work.

                      i am at good terms with the probiking guys..one of them told me to ride the bike for a few thousand more kms...and then he will try to get my silencer replaced again under warranty...i think that is a good idea..

                          P220 exhaust noise

                          Wanted DoA: bro, tht's a nice post with info. My bike is 3+years in age...so the parts warranty is also expired. Now, the Bajaj service mechanic is saying to replace this, a new one is reqd. That will cost me around 7 - 7.5K. So if I'm really gonna change it, why not any better after-market part? Do suggest me, if you know any better exhaust.

                              Abhay is right. Contact joel for a free flow.

                              The method I followed, costed me Rs 2500. 2200 for the end can + 300 for welding & stuff. But dont go for it unless you are good at messing with stuff.
                              One more thing When looking for a end can, look for quality & see that its diameter isn't smaller than the pipe its gonna be welded to.
