      Now as the P220 has this tire as stock, I almost, on first look, thought that this is a TVS product, but only after closer look, I came to know that I was wrong.
      (Thought Bajaj is saving cost by using competitor's cheaper product).
      Yes....

        • Horns needs setting.

          My horns are behaving in a funny way now, when the bike is standstill they sound like my battery is gone, but the moment the bike is started thay sound normal, i thought that may be the main connectors at the battery might be the culprit, but i cleaned them with sandpaper (and lost one of them) still they are sounding that way.

          Will have to tune them now.

          One more thing, what's that grey coloured wire near the injector is for??

            You need to check the water level in the battery and top it up cause Indian heat just evaporates the battery water and you need to keep on checking it specially in summers.
            Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

              Are you talking about the wire going to the ETS? A pic with the wire circled would help.

              You're probably right about the battery level dropping due to the heat, but a weak battery would first manifest by not running the electric start, which renny hasn't mentioned. If the battery is fine, starter and flasher working right with the engine off, you will need to check the wiring. There doesn't seem to be a relay for the horns in the wiring diagram, so that's out of the question. I'll bet ya 50 bucks that a half decent mech (except at the tvs svc) would figure it out in 10 minutes.

                p.s.: i have already installed a 55/60 philips bulb in the headlight and 2 3watt pilots along with a 30% extra fog light. currently i am extracting aroung 116watt(55w headlight + 55w fog + 3x2 pilots ) instead of the stock 45watt (35w headlight + 5x2 pilots). this takes a toll on the battery. i dont use the fog always though.

                please help

                  When i broke that clip while cleaning it, that day only i topped the battery's water with the injection voils, though the level was not dropped much, but i topped it upto the level, i vaselined the the main connectors too.
                  Will check the setting of the horns today, earlier they used to do this, but after a good spray of water at them they used to work fine.

                              Looks more like a burnt clutch... Check ur clutch plates.
