just fitted a pirilli scorpion at the rear of size 120/90

Hi
Today i replaced my worn out front tyre with the R15 zapper FY.got the tyre for 1300. the tyre looks very thin on the 220.look like bicycle tyres. apart from that the tyre is awesome. the grip is great , the front now feels more stable in wet and sandy surfaces. the bike has become much more flickable, its changes direction very quickly and when you lean, the tyre offers so much lean that it feels like its been glued to the tarmac.braking distance has decreased. i have not pushed the tyre much but intend to do so after i have completed 300km on this tyre. i will take it to my favorite set of twisties to see how it fares but iam confident it will do great.

One thing i observed is that now after i changed the tyre the bike now is very responsive, it runs much more smoother now and feels unstressed. infact there is a appreciable difference and when my friend rode the bike he too felt the same.i dont know the reason for this but i think maybe coz now the tyre can grip the tarmac better ,the power can be put down in a more linear way which is why the bike feels more responsive. the R15 tyre is also very light.

In a nut shell, if you are not bothered about looks go for it ,its a great tyre.

I dono if its just me or my false notion.i did a small test.MY 220 fi is returning a mind blowing mileage of 50 kmpl.i don find danythign wrong in my calculations.i emptied the tank fully.i.e till my tank had run dry.. filled up on 5.97 litres of fuel( which lasted for 298 kms ).rode it again till dry.i dint start the bike when the bike ran dry..pushed it to the fuel pump... luckily i was just half a km away from the fuel pump both the times.well it just so happened that i maintained speeds of 50-70 always...i just hope my beauty keeps retuning this kind of a mileage.. tire pressure, etc etc always in check..no unnecessary blipping the throttle.no harsh starts.. no ripping... i just did 144 on my speedo !! for a few seconds.. well did it twice actually..i let my bike idle for 1 and a half minutes in the morning..

@ ALL :what are u mileage figures ?

monty first try by replacingthe speedo cable. its mostly the speedo senor at the end of it that has gone for a toss.

My P220dtsfi: I own a P220dtsfi wine red Nov2008 model and completed 28,000km including two long journeys of Trivandrum to coimbatore.Before buying ths FI bike I was an owner of RX100,RD,RXG135 and P180dtsi. The most attractive reason for buying ths bike was its two spark plug technology,fuel injection system and Projector head lamp. As tourer I like its performance much better than any other bike especially its smooth power delivery thru throttle response in the whole tiresome long journeys. The roar of the engine always make you happy just like listening a rock song. I had seen some owners worrying about the p220 engine. Ths s still a touchy subject for many ppl that the P220dtsfi is a complicated machine! Nope! it is false belief. Only need a little care and timely follow up. The manufacturer also need a little more attentive to ppl. In my experience ths machine is fantastic even though its ECU is not possbile to remap. but who knows abt the future performance modes.I still love ths perfect machine.
