@ Prabhakar- can you please bust the jargon of NVH

Been there done that! Have spent numerous hours at PBK, maybe a good double digit percentage of my life in the past 1 year would be spent in PBK at Chennai/Bangalore/Pune! Even if I want to get something fixed my way, it all boils down to mech who's servicing it, his depth of knowledge, his dedication to solve an issue....

You are not the only Hyd 220 owner whos getting good service at the PBK there, and thus I'm sure its the svc center thats actually doing a good job. I am actually considering riding down to Hyd to get my bike's issue(s) resolved if that does not happen with the existing PBK here in another months time.



Hey, this issue has been faced by a couple of others also. Do post a detailed resolution once its resolved.



If you look at the P220 lights in your rear view mirror it would look white!

The P220 lights are of 'H7' type and are 55W. Osram has a Night Breaker bulb which comes in the proper specs, you can thing about these bulbs if you want to change.

PS: 21 days are over dude, whats news update about your R1?


EDIT: Small update about my bike...

-Completed the 1000kms running and changed oil to Motul 5100T.
-After the replacement of the crank bearing the vibes had disappeared almost by 90% during the running in period.
-The vibes are again back by almost 50% after a short 500km ride yesterday.
-The mech had not tightened the oil cooler bolts and I was leaking oil through the ride yesterday. Incidentally I had forgotten to carry my allen key set so I could tighten it.
-After 15K kms (mostly touring!), my bike is looking for change in clutch plates and chain sprocket set as both are showing signs of aging now.
-My low battery indicator issue decided to get nasty yesterday and decided that it will disappear only after I touch 100-110.
-Rear tyre seems to developed an invisible puncture, pressure is dropping down to almost 18-22 psi. Need to sit with a magnifying glass and a bucket of water to find out the exact spot of the puncture. Zapper Vyde's are almost finished after 10.5K kms.

NVH in auto jargon stands for Noise Vibration & Harshness.

Most of us have faced the problems of rear brake pads screeching sound . But my problem is that when i use the rear brake a loud sound comes from rear . A local mechanic suggested that it might be problem due to misalignment of threads after adjusting the chains . When i use the rear brakes it feels like additional weight at rear & also some sound is coming which is not from brake pads .

Plz help guys

Hi people! Just joined xbhp and have read through a lot of posts here..... There's a lot of great info about 220 and I am sure that you guys can help me out with a problem with my 220.
Ever since the first servicing, the bike refuses to go beyond 6k RPM..If I keep trying, it just starts stuttering and and I have to give up....This means that the top speed of my bike is about 84 kmph. I have been to the SC 3 times and each time they do some CO setiing and then take the bike on the machine( i think it's dyno?) and show me that the problem has been solved. THe bike performs exactly as it should on the dyno and also on my way back home. However, by the next evening, the problem comes back.....the last time I went to SC ( that was the day before yesterday) the mechanic told me that I should come in the afternoon sometime and he would solve the problem by cleaning up the G&D sensor and replacing the roll-over sensor ( not really sure if I have the names right, but htis is what he told me).... could you guys help me by pointing out the issue with my bike? Because I get the impression that the SC guys have no idea of what needs to be done aand are just using the trial and error method which is eating up a lot of my office and weekend time.
Also the last time these people set the CO to 2.05....is this setting correct, i asked him twice and he said that it's okay. in fact he reduced the CO setting from another 220 from 3 to 2.05 in front of me.
I am in mumbai and go to the Sai Service centre in Amboli, Andheri west.. I plan to go there this thursday Afternoon and see if replacing the sensors will sort the issue. I hope they can sort it..I don't see the point of buying a 220 if it can't go at more than 90..
Hope you guys forgive the lengthy text! Looking for a solution from you guys...

I have noticed the sound mainly when i get out of my house to road . As my house is above the road we have made a slope to the road & when getting down the slope ,for safety i presses & releases the rear brakes & the sound as i sated earlier come & i am sure its not from Disc Pad

Thanks! I guess i will ask prongs the specifics...will ask the mech to check ecu and solenoid....by the way do you think that the sensors i mentioned could be the issue? because i know for sure that the mech will try to replace those and then insist that the problem has been solved.

facing same prob here...told pbk guy tht maybe it cud be disc pad...he checked them but no problem there....rear disc sounds like taking some load on it while pressed hardly...like trucks do on sudden braking...solution wud be appreciated highly....

The Roll Over sensor could be the issue. If the mechanic is so insistent that it is the problem, then I guess you will have to go ahead and do as he says. If it does solve the problem then its all fine and good. If it doesn't then I think ECU/solenoid could be the culprit. Do update us on the specifics. Also ask prongs to do that. It will be useful for all future problem queries.
