    Its given me between 15-20 kmpl the last two times I filled fuel!
    Got it re-tuned yesterday, so I hope its back to normal now. Another fuel up will only tell.

    PS: The 'old boy' is still hitting 138 on the roller bench!

      With his 'recent' developments I suppose I should be surpassing him soon!

          15-20 is too low , just make sure if the fuel is not leaking

          roller bench is cool , makes you think you can go that fast

            Yep with these development u bet u'd surpass him

            But who knows....he might as well travel on two rather than 6 wheeler to bangy

                I hope its not a leak, there was nothing that came up on visual inspection.

                The mixture was very rich, plugs were all black. CO has been set to 2.6 now. Lets see how it works out!

                • My bike has been returning a fuel efficiency of 22-25kmpl for the last one year.
                  May be because of my riding style ( I shift at about 10k rpm)
                  But after I collected the bike back from pbk after repairs ( I had an accident in march and bike was with the pbk for about 1.5 months) it is still returning a fuel efficiency of around 25kmpl but the problem is, it now struggles to cross the 125kmph mark L
                  I think its time to change the chain sporket, or may be cut a link form the chain…
                  but still i'm not sure how much impact chain can have...

                    Then there is something seriously wrong with ur bike buddy!

                    Why don't you try checkout a different PBK.

                    Moreover, constant 10K shifts will kill your engine. Why don't you try a more sedate riding style for 1-2 tankfuls and see if you get 30+ mileage!!!

                        Riding style hugely affects the mileage. I would advise you to get the CO setting done and also keep a check on your riding style!

                          Yup. It sure does. Just got a mileage figure of 41.xx kmpl. City. Awesome!

                              I had the privilege to clock the 20000th KM on ArmourOfGod's P220 and on the return journey clock 10000th on my R15

                              BTW The reason I am on this thread was if you guys are confident with the stock rubbers on the p220 or if you guys have switched to something else...

                              Armours P220 runs on IRC and handle like a charm on corners!

                                The stock rubbers are just about ok till the first 5K kms, after which it progressively starts to get scary. The biggest cause for this is the rear tyre, the front tyre offers decent amounts of grip!

                                IRC's being softer and slightly different sizing do offer better grip (Atleast as per the guys using them here!)

                                I have had the opportunity of trying out the Bridgestone Battlax on the 220, and I can say is that with those tyres the bike doesn't handle like a 220!!!
