next service the 4th service at 8K KM ... im already at 6.7K now or maybe before that if the problem seems to be dangerous.. Got myself a pair of gloves finally gotta say they are good quality ..

I haven't been able to make time for a ProBiking Service Visit. Plan to make a visit in the next few days.

Has anyone else got the above mentioned parts replaced..??

something beside the battery was changed, i think that was the new solenoid...but i never faced any cold start problem. the bike initially refused to go above 8k but after few co settings it was ok and it always went till 10.5k. i don't feel any difference after the change

Hypothetical: Safety device for P220

The Pulsar 220 has a roll on sensor that cuts off fuel supply and ultimately doesn't let the engine start. Now from my understanding, this is to avoid the engine running while the rider is kissing tarmac right?

I was also wondering, what good would it be in case the rider was injured in the crash, with no help in sight? Would it be too much to ask for a device that sends out a signal via the riders mobile phone to a speciality cell managed by the motorcycle company/traffic police who can in turn home in on the device location and offer help to the injured rider by dispatching the nearest ambulance?

I think there would be better ways of transmitting the singal than via Mobile phones, which would be useless in remote areas without network coverage, which is how it is for almost half the journey while touring the country. In house electronic experts please shed some light on this...

Also, to avoid false alarms, provision should be made to key in vehicle registration number to de activate the alarm. If the keyed in number matches with that corresponding to the one in the database managed by company/police then they can ignore that particular distress call.

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, who ironically hates bikes, 'How hard can it be?'

Topic Merged.

kolkata probiking said they have the orders to change them,but they havnt received the parts yet.

For my college project we had made a product concept of a helmet that will send out GPS location and distress signal in case of an event....

Sadly they remained as a concept itself....!

It only cuts the engine when it goes more than 40-45 degrees from vertical.Once you get it up after the crash it restarts without any problems.

To confirm this , do it at the service center.It will always work.

Roll over sensor not so good


It is supposed to work like that. In my case, it didn't. Last Mon or Tues had a minor accident (already posted in this forum). So bike stalled (engine off, but lights & indicator were working)while it laid on the road. Restarted it, but then bike wont go above 4k rpm. Had difficulty in pulling it on Fly overs. Speed limited to 45kph only. So gave a call to MG. He confirmed that there is a roll-over sensor which is supposed to get activated, which it had, but should get de-active once I restart it. So next day, straight to PBK, rectified within half an hour.

oh yes this happens sometimes .... but still it will start

hmmmmm
offcorse rite yaar

Er.. yes, sorry if I gave the impression that i understood otherwise.. been there, experienced that!


EDIT: Just read what I'd posted! 'Ultimately doesn't let the engine start' ... meant to say ultimately doesn't let the engine run.. my bad!

Guys, has anyone used the castrol synthetic oil ??

I have been using it for approx 1500kms now ! earlier i used motul and used to change it at 4000kms interval.. believe when I changed to synth, I was told the change interval is close to 8k and 10k range any info ??

4K is ok. At the max i believe 5k. 10k is a market gimmick.

you can push for 10k, its not a market gimmick.
