Praful is right. PBK changes the whole set. I got mine changed @ 18448 kms. Cost: Rs 1022.

Praful bhai & all:
My bike has completed 20k+ kms. Will be 1 yr old on 19 Sep. Has been a dream journey so far. But lately it seems that engine has become bit harsh. I am using oil which PBK is putting. Now seriously thinking of going for a better one. Motul perhaps. Lately sometimes exhast makes PHUT kinda noise. Like some unburnt fuel was there or something. Air filter choke started flashing just this morning only. Will be cleaning it tomorrow.

My IRC 130/70 is getting bald. 20k kms and second tyre getting bald !! Is anything wrong in my bike or my riding style??

The exhaust making a PHUT noise can be due to lean burn. Dont ask me for scientific explanation on this. This is my observation with my bike and a couple of others that I know. Each time it makes a PHUT, I rush to get the CO checked and more often than not, its leaner.

Your tyre going bald is a sign of your right wrist and right foot getting more exercise

If the wear is not uneven and you maintain air pressure religiously, there is no reason to worry.

Mineral oil lasts about 1K before which it becomes really harsh. To start with you could try either Valvoline Premium 4T or Motul5100T. The phut sound is it like a backfire?

Tyre wear is totally dependent on riding style, road conditions and tyre compound. My stock tyres lasted 25K.

Lets see, will try out ur bike on its bday if possible!

Yes sirji you are quite right. My right wrist & Right foot does work more than any other part of my body but... any ways Thx a lot for your reply

Can it be called back fire?? Yes I guess so. It doesn't make that loud noise which a bullet does. Very gentle compared to that noise. But yes there is a distinct noise of PHUT. Will get hold of PBK

Parfaul sir.... matlab I obviously remember your arrival. And EAGERLY waiting for it also.

^^^
@RX:
Go and get your CO adjusted, I think you haven't been to PBK for a long time...

and shift to semi synthetic oil...you've already done 19K on your bike or is it like the mineral oil giving you maximum satisfaction??
regarding the tyre...whats the air pressure you keeping at the rear?
and IRC is a soft compund...and it will wear out by 12K kms(I guess)

**saurigr8** · 09-02-2009, 02:03 PM

I am using IRC on my P220 it's easily run 16000 Kms

Fuel efficiency varies any where from 30-45 across different bikes.

But as a median figure its about 37 for most owners.

PS: I hope ur talking about the 220 Fi and not the 220 Dts-i!!!

Yes I'm talking 'bout 220 Dts-Fi ,not the Dts-i. But I didn't get much time to ride it after I bought it as I was outta station for a while.Now I'm back at home and riding it.Did 1000 kms just today.So far so good.

So howz the handle screwed??

Praful Bhai is there an alternate for the 220 fairing .. planning a vist to spiti this month and my fairing is broken beyond any repairs after my last crash ,,.. thinking of switching to some Thing small .. but just worried about the two electronic control box inside the fairing ..and my HID blaster ,, it would be a difficult task to hide them .. One more question is there and tier shop in delhi where we can get sirac and FZ front tire . would it effect in the FE of the bike .. or the only thing which would be affected would be the the acceleration here are few pic of my previous crash RIDE .. rode the bike for 475 KM after the crash .. 220 ROCKS ,, not even a glitch after crash ,,

Oh damn! That's a real bad crash!!! Hope ur alrite now?

About the fairing I have no idea, you could talk to some guys who do cosmetic mods to mould one fairing for you, but it might most prolly cost you more than the stock fairing.

For your HID ballast, you could have it wrapped in some sort of water proof material if you are removing the fairing.

About the tyre shop, I have no idea about Delhi. You can contact RohitMundra, he's got all the tyre info about Delhi that you need to know.

With the Sirac your FE will be affected in a positive manner, it will increase

**dragatmax** · 09-03-2009, 09:34 AM

I was Fine after crash with just some internal pain and Sprains... .. will speak to rohit this weekend .. my IRC cannot hold on to the road any more .. was also thinking of replacing the rear disk plate one with the RTR disk . . first of all its a wave rotar so more cooling . and its cheap as well .. :P .. but on the other hand getting the 220 fairing change will .. make the 220 lose its charm ..

so will think about it ,,
