Well i have the advantage of being lighter at 63 kgs.

Any pointers to why the tyre is so close to the chain cover? There is very little clearance.

PS- Did u enquire about the flash mode & its operation?

Yes everything is controlled by the ECU. But still u have the feasibility to alter the ratio but not the flow of fuel.

One more thing guys:
"I have heard that a P220 FI has a manual fuel injection technique(can'nt get better words than this one), i mean to say that it is not fully electronic like R15."

Both P220 FI & R15 have the same FI system. Its the open loop FI. The ECU cannot alter the AFR on its own due to the absence of a few sensors like Lambda (O2) etc.
The Karizma ZMR & Kawasaki Ninja 250R come with a closed loop FI where the ECU can alter the AFR in a predefined range depending on the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas, which varies due to the change in environmental conditions.

Thanks.
So the Bottom Line is even FI bike requires manual tuning of AFR

But once in seriously deep blue moon....

Light weight will not alter gearing!


Is the chain cover holder bent? There is a spacer nut along the axle, is that worn out.

The Tyre running closer to the swingarm/chain cover only points two things :-
1. Either the swingarm/cover itself is bent.
2. Or something along the axle of the wheel has got worn out.

For any of the above stuff you should feel a difference between left/right cornering.

I've been more or less off the bike and thus away from PBk. Will check bout the Flash thingie if I remember when I'm there next!

hey did u change the AFR if yes how much ?????? and i dont have a clamp for the k&n filter as in the fastener which seals the filter to the carb my friend missplaced it so wat do i do can i get another one ?? also is it easy to remove the airbox ???

bad news

yesterday met with a nasty road accident....

a a@#hole indica driver was coming speeding from the wrong side and a auto driver was behind him...

i was on my normal route and speed was about 60-65 as there was traffic on the raod...

suddenly i saw the indica AND i tried to dodge by manuvering and was succesful in dodging it but WHHAATT a silly auto driver was trying to overtake him while they were on the wrong lane .....and........BOOOOM....

it surely was not painful physically for me as i was properly geared with my helmet jacket and stuff....

but my ride took some major damage.....

whole fairing is bent now.... nothing happened to headlights but some scratches...

nothing wrong with the handle or forks....

went pbk immediately...

they said i have to change the fairing as well as the headlight assembly....

so my question is that if my headlight is not damaged and working properly
why should i change it...

and how much will these 2 costs?
and the procedure for insurance claim....

will upload pic soon....

Very sad to hear that!, Are you safe, uninjured na..
If need my help then do give me a call. For claiming Insurance either go to PBK and tell them, they will give you a form. or directly go to the insurance company office and fill the form. The inspector will then come and do his work.

Get well soon.

Yeah it does.. But rarely. Even in the worst state of tune it can perform pretty good..

But i will gain speeds faster!!

The axle is pretty good in condition. Greased a few days back.
Coming to swingarm, 3 weeks back had a crash to the left. But it wasnt that severe that swingarm would be damaged. There is no difference in cornering. The difference is, that time i had my bald IRC, now i have Sirac. However the chain adjuster got a few scrapes at the end.
I can clearly see that the clearance from swingarm is unequal on both sides. But alignment is perfect. Tried braking hard using rear brakes by leaving the handle & the bike stops perfectly in a straight line.

The spacer nut? The one through which the axle fits on the swingarm right? I dont think they ever wear.

Quick question:
Is your swingarm straight or slightly curved? Inspect it with high precision. Mine is curved.
Tried little geometry i dont find any damage/bend on the swingarm.

Get well soon buddy..
Fairing of 220 FI costs around 1600 change. Headlight costs around 3800 change.
For insurance, go to pbk, fill an application form given by manager. Call the customer care. Surveyor will come & check then repairs would be done.

I have already answered this buddy.

ah thank you i must have missed it the first time

will try out the filter next week as this week heading to the track dont wanna mess up the bikes tuning will try to change afr to richer c how it behaves for a week then revert to stock i hope tht airflow indicator doesnt start blinkin on the speedo ??????

thnx and im uninjured not even a single scratch on me.....


thnx,
but does this process have some time limit?
i wont be able to give my bike to pbk as my exams are going on....
i can give it after few days...


and plz see image and tell me is there is need to replace headlight?
as it is working good and not damaged too...

I don't have my bike with me for a long time now! Once I get it back I will have a look and let you.

Is the tyre sitting properly on the alloy? Could be a uneven fit on the wheel. I'm 100% sure my tyre never touched anywhere along the chain cover/swingarm.

Its hard to tell from photo itself. But, if the headlight is working fine and is hold in its position, there is no need for changing it.

Selling my beast

Been a long time since i posted here,
OT : i cant remember but we had a market place right ? where could put up ads for buying or selling bike .

Anyways sadly, Want to sell my 220 .
Its been some time since i had a ride on my bike its in garage all packed up. And I am moving to US in june. Hopefully my signature will come true then
My Bike is very well maintained .with new rear tyre Siracs, always used Shell petrol, Motul lubes. and all services on time.

Would like to know how much to expect , been three years i believe and more than 5K kms, not sure of exact kms done as its been some time.
