@ chetanpulsar :

Well if u ask me i would scrap the bike only if the chassis seems damaged....and or if the repairs cost goes beyond half the bikes actual price...or even touches close to half the bikes price....


the first few pics made me believe the bike is a goner..... but later on i felt it wasnt that much of a gonner... STILL........................................

1) doom needs replacement.. ( consider it full front fairing)

2) as it looks to me , wires need full replacement... they're stripped right from the roots.....( to avoid leaks , power wastages , shorts)

3) hope the projectors still is ok...if its ok, keep both the front lights... they will need re adjustment..

4) forks need to be re done( or replaced) .. proper rake angle adjusted...

5) handlebars taken good beating... including crash guard.no hopes for them though..

6) hope tank has no leaks... the need to be relieved of dents... top mainly. and sides...

7 ) CHASSIS ( i would not keep the bike if the chassis needs major re construction) the chassis needs to be re heated, and shaped.. or parts removed and welded again... major cost if u ask me..

8) bolts , nuts need replacement. ( might have taken severe jolts)

9 ) engine head leakage is major but fixable..

10) exhaust pipe near header bent.. dono hoow bad exhaust looks though...

11 ) hope fuel injectors and ecu are ok.... they'll cost close to 10 k ( 1/4th of the actual repair cost ) or more to replace ....

12) gear lever, foot pegs,, list goes on... rear tyre seems to do ok...chassis alignment , wheel alignment.. these are visible... hidden damages... dono though....


PS : bike will not be the same ( u kno it too) .. it will wobble. vibrate , give haath often. regular visits to pbk , more expenditure to parts...

read my first few lines again after u get the estimate..... keep us posted pls...

visible damage to Tstem can be noticed only if stripped and exactly noticed with the help of a mech....

do u have wobbles ? does it pull to one side when breaking? post us the prob pls....

Sorry for reposting but i had posted this in 220dtsi thread and nobody replied. so...

I instaled Saferide ABS yesterday, though only on front brake, the brake fluid got spilt twice, now the assembly has air inside and feel of the brakes is like loose drum brakes. though the braking is crisper than before. how do i rectify it now. i think current brake fluid level is also low. but how to remove the air from the assembly?

Guys please help me.

Doom??



Bleed the brake line to get rid of the air gap, but you will loose more brake fluid.

What was the reason for the brake fluid spilling the first two times? Rectify that issue first, then re-fill new brake fluid in your system.

first time, i am not exactly sure, but the mech opened the caliper and the fluid drained off.
second time reason was faulty rubber washer supplied by saferideabs..

so i got copper washer of same size and that is working fine now.

losing brake fluid is not a worry, the braking is..

Bleeding the brake line means, letting some fluid out of the line so that air bubbles can escape with it.

Now that you have rectified the issue with the leaks, just get the entire brake fluid replaced. Ensure none of the brake fluids falls on any painted parts.

Aren't the alloy wheels of p220dtsi painted? If they are.. i am so screwed..

P.S.: I didnt know you did Ladakh.. awesome man.. Thts why i was thinking why praful bhai isnt coming to xbhp these days..

Well the paint of the alloys is a lot less susceptible to damage from brake fluid, so don't worry.

Came back from 'there' 1.5 weeks back...now there's so much office workload that I don't get time to come here!

thanks man for clearing my doubts..

P.S.: the few posts above justify the fact that there should have been a common thread discussing ownership issues for all 220s.Also considering the Fi-variant is an Order-Only product, there wont be many new owners too. I had posted this looooong ago in this thread (at that time dtsi thread was not even 150 posts old).

@praful: Regarding the DOOM thing:
Many people call the fairing as dome. Some call it cover.
The best i have heard is FOCUS!!

Can u beat that?

^^ The correct word is headlight fairing!

lol..... praful bahi sorry bout that. .i too call it dome.... it surely looks like doom though..... after the crash ....

there has been lots of thot put in the previous posts.... regarding the merging of the threads(common thread) but its not done due to some reason.dtsi owners can surely post their problems here..... sorry if we have overlooked ur post... regrets

U cannot just see and tell if the stem is bent or not. It needs expertise.
In a major crash, the forks and the T stem get bent together mostly.

As Praful said bleeding the brakes will help. If u are not sure how it is done, it works like this. On the brake caliper search for a nut which is covered with rubber cap. Remove the rubber cap. Now connect a small pipe to the nut and the other end of the pipe to collect brake fluid. Next press the brake lever hard and then immediately loosen the nut. Repeat this process till all the air bubbles with brake fluid comes out. Now open the brake fluid cylinder and refill the fluid. Apply the brakes slowly so that left out air bubbles come out from the cylinder. Be careful not to press the lever hard or u will end up spilling the brake fluid on your hands and clothes. Carefully close the cylinder. Remove any excess fluid from the sides or the paint will go bad over a period of time.

After u put the ABS, u can notice the brakes to feel loose. The thing is it is delaying your braking to some extent. The advantage is that u have the liberty to squeeze the brake lever to more extent and adjust the braking. I always use my front brake for any kind of braking.

hiii probikers my machine 220 fi clocked 6.7 kms i changed my engine oil with motul fully synthetic oil at 4.9 kms. initially my bike ran very very smooth and grunty but now a dayz my bikes engine is feeling stressfull while riding bike in high speeds like 110-120. earlier my bikes engine doesnt make such loud sound and d engine doesnt feel stressfulleven on d topspeeds. at low speeds d engine is good but after crossing above 100 d engine is making loud noise and it is struggling wht could be d problem
