Actually there has to some fault in your silencer then only it will be changed. Also if some damage happens then you can get it changed by claiming insurance but you have to convince them that it was damaged in an accident & there was no fault of yoursOriginally posted by monty007 View Postmy silencer too is badly srcatched n little worn out...tell me more about warranty...wht if they say it dont come under warranty..i mean UNKO kaise dam diya jaye...
Or you just simply pay 6000 bucks & get it changed

I do the electrical stuff myself. I thought a jump of 15W that's from 55 to 70W, would be discharging the battery more than it would be getting charged.Go ahead with the mods from a reliable mechanic/electrician, two 35w HID's will be easily supported by the 220's electrical system.
But thanks for the confidence
Any info on power? like a increase of 1 ps?Guys Pulsar 220's new all black carburetor version coming up within a month.

Anti-Lock Braking System
Installed an Anti-Lock Braking System for the rear Disk Brake!!
First Impression -
The Brake feels a little bit Spongy!!
The Brake feels similar to the Brake in cars with ABS.
I can feel the pulsating effect.
However in a car U don't hear any noise increase as the ABS will be way away from U & U'll be in a closed enclosure!!
Here U can hear a minute sound emanating from the ABS unit when the brake is applied - still neglegible as I noticed it only when the vehicle was at 20-30 & Clutch depressed tried to hear for any sounds.
Normal driving may not hear at all.
Braking distance was not measured as I never measured with the normal Disk.
Now the Most Important Difference I noticed is - The Rear is not locking up easily.
Tried a couple of trials inside my premises near the water tap area - Wet Surface still not locking up.
That was terrific.
Total test distance - 5km.
Top speed - while Testing 50kmph.
Total Cost - under 1500 including labour, New Brake oil & the components.
Need to check the High speed Behavior of this set up.
I'll be installing it to the front today after checking the high speed behavior.
If Successful will post the Pictures too with a full review!!!

^^ At the cost of sounding really pessimistic, how reliable is this setup?
What I'm worried about is this thing screwing up braking when you need it the most, as it is an aftermarket fitment and something that is introduced in between the existing braking system._________________________

Very very interesting. BI also did a review of the same in one of its issues. They provided good feedback on that. Will be looking for your inputs too.
Where did you get this ABS from?"HASTA LA VICTORIA, SIEMPRE !" - Chesigpic

Locked up once in 20-25 trials but only for a second before the vehicle Stopped.
That was inside the Premises on a very smooth surface in wet condition.
On the road it did not lock at all.
Coming to Sound it is the sound of the Pulse which U can hear in any ABS!!
Without that sound it'll not work.
Its very low.
Even the ABS in Fabia has similar sound!!
Open the windows of any ABS vehicle & try to hear it.
U'll hear that sound.
Its like U pumping the brake.sigpic

Its a simple Bolt on Kit!!Originally posted by nirvan View PostHow about some pics of the installation?
I did not take any.
Will take while fitting the front 1 & Post it.
This is the same ABS which BI has reviewed.
Only difference being I purchased it from the Manufacturer directly.
If I order them in Bulk the Shipment cost will also reduce & with installation it may come to 1200-1300.
This includes the Oil replacement too.
Yes its the same for both front & rear.
As per the review of BI its excellent.
However let me Post a full review after some high speed testings.
Basing on the current experience I would say BI was right!!!Last edited by Prabhakar; 05-29-2009, 11:25 AM.sigpic

I had been testing it from 3 weeks, and I tried braking from 70kmph avg, and it didnot lockup 95% of the times....
the rear wheel will still get locked up, if we keep the brake lever pressed.... and this mechanical ABS is supposed to be increasing the lockup time, nothing more than that.
I got it from Saferide ABS and it costed me 1200/- including installation....
personally I don't recommend it on front disc, atleast on our p220's as braking is supposed to be 70:30 front:rear, and any mechanical failure of this can lead to an extreme disaster... compared to rear disc....

Exactly. That is how ABS is supposed to work. Glad to hear positive reports about this. But as praful said, installing after market parts is always an experimentation. Its good to hear that it works as it is supposed to. I had some questions though. How long will it last? In case of failure, what happens?
You would never want to lock up the front disk unless you want to pull off a stoppie or fall down. But it is a tricky thing as you would want responsive brakes at the front. So, again, it is still an experimentation if you put it at the front, and only test reports like Prabhakar's will tell if it is a good idea at the front disk.Originally posted by rishie View PostI also had the ABS installed on the rear disc of my P220, and the effect is good...

what will happen if ABS fails. I doubt it will work as the normal disc brake. ABS is to stop locking up of the wheels. So if it fails the wheels will start locking up when you brake. i don't think there will be any other diaster like brake failure. we are using the all the bikes without ABS till now so we know how to use it without ABS. am i right. THIS is as per my knowledge what i have read. i maybe wrong.
correct me if i am.
May be it will a problem for those who ride it rash and fast. Your judgement will go for a toss.
