    I have seen many P200/220s chain rusting... it happens due to poor maintenance (cleaning+lubricating).


    Teflon thing at many places is just rubbing that Formula 1 polish using that rotating sponge tool machine. Better polish it yourself.
    The best polish I have heard of is ArmourAll.... and Turtle wax. I have been using Formula 1 for long now... but after seeing the other brands.... am not at all satisfied with it.

    • ^^^ My motul chain spray can is almost empty now ... and am very happy with it. Doesnot drip atall sticks very well.
      I have tried almost all sprays from SAE 90 to the new dry spray at Pune but all have failed the spray ending up on mags test except for Motul. So will stick with it.
      Only drawback : lube lats max 800kms.
      Also i have done 20K Kms now and the SC say my bikes chain can easily last for another 4-5K before change
      Aprilia RS 125 or Honda CB400 Vtec ..... which one will it be ??? I think its gonna be NINJA ZX 6R :-)

          Yes, have found a solution to this problem . Now my rear alloy shines like a mirror...err...polished aluminium and stays that way. I will be publishing a photo tutorial for this soon.

          Maybe the teflon attracts dust.....
          ArmorAll...all the way. Beware of the Formula 1 fakes in the market. I have been using ArmorAll on my bikes for almost 3 months now and the way they bring out the gloss is amazing.

          The other day, my 220 was subjected to plastering cement water by the un-friendly neighborhood uncle and all it took was a single wipe and wash treatment...the polish protects nicely too...
          100 % RECOMMENDED PRODUCT.

          @chilled_fire: Try to get the slim nozzle (as available on WD 40) for spraying the lube. On a conventional sprayer, a lot of lube gets wasted while applying it. With a fine nozzle, the spray required is minimal and that translates into better life of the bottle and wallet

          • ^^^ slim nozzle is available with the motul lube can.... i remember u had mentioned bout the spray at Oune SC , ITs dry and good, lasts for rally long time, but sprays on mags

                Check Fuel Filter and Fuel Pump. Beastrider had a similar complaint and the origin was traced to a jammed fuel pump and a clogged filter.

                            The fuel filter can be checked by you but not the fuel pump. I recommend that you visit the PBK next time when you are intending to visit that place...maybe on a short ride

                                Just below the tank on left side front.... where the faring part ends.... you will see a while filter (to which 2 pipes connect... one from petrol tank... and on that goes to the fuel injector).... just check if the fuel filter is black in colour.... change the fuel filter regularly at every 2k kms..... or when you feel bike is not revving freely. I always keep 1 fuel filter under the seat area... and one in my backpack... donno when it will go bad.. and I might need a new one
