Hi guys,

I have done 10k on my 220. I have planned to go for fully synthetic engine oil. But the probiking people in chennai say that, doing so would void the warranty. Then they also say oil change should be done only on probiking and they say they will only recommend only Servo 20W50 oil. They also say they can't change it to motul 20W50 even if i provide them the oil. But then i can change oil outside but the new oil that they put in probiking during service becomes a waste. Has anybody faced such problems? so pls help me out.

The PBKs here in Bangalore don't do such 'nakhra'. They have put Motul 300V without any hesistancy. Just that there have been lots of reports that using this oil will result in oil leaking from the head and the engine. Personally, I have used this oil for 10K kms. There was no case of leakage etc. Engine ran cooler during continuous high speed runs. I am back to using Castrol given by the PBk themselves. I am extremely unhappy with it gearshifts do not feel as smoother as when using Motul. Engine runs noticeably hotter.

Oh they do their 'nakhras'. They have always refused to put the engine oil I want. Only the AS guys oblige. I've not changed the oil given by PBK yet because I dont wanna waste the 300 odd bucks I've spent on it. I'll change after the 10k mark since the service interval increases after it. And yeah the PBK oil is absolute crap!

Dude. I changed Motul in Khivraj Kasturba Road. They also told me that the oil I was changing was good. They topped it up with their normal grade oil. So it was 1 liter Motul + 200 ml Castrol for 10K kms for me. Show them your angry face next time!

BTW I also changed my spark plugs to Iridium at the same place. No objections from their side.

Try to go through the sales manager who sold you the bike. I mean inform him that you are there, then he can speak to the service guys. They don't object to sales managers saying anyways. Otherwise you can always go to AS. Did you try to change in Khivraj Indiranagar? Because I have no idea about that SS.

Yeah I tried to change the oil in Indiranagar PBK. If they can't change the oil i didn't wanna waste my energy with anything else. My sales manager is a useless fellow. He parrots what the mechs say.

But yeah your bikes fairing is quite different from this one

Thanks bro... i had this one done in GP Road, chennai. And i gave him a design for it, as i did not expect him to fit his on design on me. and as in constant touch ith the guy to get the job done correctly... and i ould say that i had only 60 % results.

So no ay you gonna find this on eBay.. i guess. and it costs somethin abt 3000 rs.

to beruoist...

engine heating:

Not much i guess.. but i really rip her some time.... and you could feel a large amount of heating on the fairing above the exhausts... but atleast it does not burn it.

U can. But u might run lean in the following case.

i.e, If the 220 does not have an O2 sensor in it s Fi system. I am not sure if the 220 is an open loop/closed loop Fi system.

**Prabhakar** · 05-13-2009, 02:00 AM

The 220 Breaths enough so U Don't require a K&N.

It has a Closed loop system.

U won't Run Leaner as the K&N can't provide any additional air intake than required as the Stock 1 itself provides a lot of Air more than the requirement.
But the bad part is it allows more dust when compared to stock 1.

Th K&N is made for Clean race tracks - not for our Roads - which R no good than Dirt Tracks.

U'll need to cut the Air filter chamber & that would Void UR Warranty.

So simply NOT RECOMMENDED - Unless U want to have a little increase in the Sound.

I beleive that a K&N being a free-flow will definitely allow more air.

can U chew more than UR mouth can allow & swallow more than ur throat can GULP??

It can send more air as a free flow Filter - but the stock one sends almost similar amount which itself is more than sufficient??
U need to change the settings & EXHAUST to get the benefit of the K&N.

Also the ECU needs to be remapped to get the best out of the set up.
Which is not possible!!!!!!!!

Abey probiker

U make me do this

All i meant was the K&N ll allow more air to the engine.. And i am NOT talking about similar, almost kinda approximations here!

ANd finally i never said that he ll get the effect of the K&N if he installs it!

If the 220 had an O2 sensor, it would have made the A/F mixture richer and compensated(Similar to an upjetting done on a carb), and since it does not i said it ll run lean.

Understand?
