After a long wait got the Motul 300V. Just to add to my Gyans on Oils how are SHELL?..

Shell Engine Oils are not for our Indian Bikes. I used it for the very first time but had to drain it off and then went for M300V..
The reason being the clutch seems to slip a lot.( Our Indian Bikes not being attributed with Slipper Clutch)

M300V fully synthetic is quite good for 220.

Bought on Aug 2008, ridden in TN,KL,KA,PY,AP,MH. My dream ride of getting Leh'd will be fulfilled along with this bike, my 220!

Congrats! Great bike isnt it.. this is the feel many 220 owners like us have.. Only worry part is the ASS..

Thanks for sharing your experience.. Can I know which engine oil from Shell you tried..

The odometer got here now, actually numbers are about 1.3K more...

Took 1334 Days to reach here, 52 Kms/Day average! Much slower than before

My bike is 15K+ on the odo, all of a sudden the engine dies out. then i switch off the ignition and switch on again, the bike starts & runs normally. what could be the cause? this happened 5 times in 2 months.

**Praful** · 07-13-2011, 03:12 PM

Does this happen at any RPM or only when you rip the bike at high RPM's?

**frankpilli** · 07-13-2011, 04:07 PM

between 3 to 4K RPM & while holding the clutch at parking speeds. idling is ok @ 1200 RPM, but the engine stalls occasionally.

**Praful** · 07-13-2011, 04:12 PM

Does it happen every time or is there a specific action that triggers this like deceleration?

If I can remember correctly ( since it was 3 years old when i bought it

) , the Engine oil was SHELL ADVANCE ULTRA, which costed me around 1100 Bucks. I dont know exactly the price, but guess was around this figure only.

But as I said, when i inquired about it, I had to drain it ( all money wasted ) and had to go for Motul..

@Frankpili :-

Have you checked your routine maintenance items, like plugs, air and fuel filters, etc.?
There may be problem in , Loose or disconnected ignition system wires or bad connectors too.

Get your bike thoroughly checked from Probiking.

It happens any time, there's no specific action that triggers it.

The bike had this problem before & after the 2nd paid service at PBK Vizag on 4th July, i forgot to mention it to the PBK people.

Get your sparkplugs and ignition coil checked.

Still can't really say for sure as there are many variables involved which could cause this!

**frankpilli** · 07-13-2011, 05:19 PM

ok, i'll check the spark plugs & ignition coils. Can it be linked to bad quality Fuel ?

**Praful** · 07-13-2011, 05:22 PM

Bad fuel is also a possibility! Try ripping your bike hard a few times, just see if it comes then !

**arunlee03** · 07-13-2011, 05:58 PM

Before doing that, please check your fuel filter element and the fuel pump itself. This complaint was noticed on one Pune xBhpian's 220. It turned out to be bad fuel -> damage to fuel pump -> clogged fuel filter element -> erratic idle + engine cut off intermittently.
