if wut u are saying is true Bajaj has done a great job indeed.....overcome so much of criticism and come up with something on their own and achieved perfection or atleast close to perfection..hats of to em....

hey
when you faced this prob., your bike's engine was on?

if yes it has to be a loose connection beneath the bikes faring
my one friend has faced such prob. n the the cause was the same......

hey guys i'm facing task
to choose right oil fo the bike

lemme start from inception

on my bike's first service
the service guys(non PBK) feed her, what they call "20w50" oil which they say dose a good job on p180 n recommended by the bajaj
soon after 300 kms or so i felt severe power loss n harshness in the bike

it demanded much gears change
n km/rpm ratio dropped by huge margine

after some 700 km frm 1st oil change i.e. 500km
i changed the oil to power one

n i noticed when the mechanic flushed the previous oil itz
thickness was even worse than water, believe me guys

now i'm not sure weather power 1 is 20w50

so can you guys help me out

what oil u guys recommend fo my bike which shod be 20w50 ???

n yeah what do you guys mean by co2 %
n what is contribution to engine's performance

Will need to go and pay a visit there for the next service.

Payeng & Aryan,
Absolutely correct Kirti Nagar is the best & followed by Okhla I guess. K Bagh is very pathetic for a PBK.
But I must say that Mr Durgesh, the PBK incharge in Delhi I guess is a very good man. Very helpful

**rx100.7050** · 11-21-2008, 07:47 PM

Bajaj has seriously improved this P220 & 200. The 1st generation had their own problems. But, yes the newer versions are now quite better. MG rode my bike & said that my gear felt quite smooth when compared to his 220. Kudos to bajaj.
Also I BI has said that they are gonna launch Carbon Fibre exhaust.
Just curious, how much will it cost & what improvement in performance can we get?
Any one please?

**Aryan** · 11-21-2008, 07:48 PM

@boney: Whoever coaxed you into believing that Power-1 is a 20W50 grade oil, go and shove the whole can of Power-1 up his arse! Do not be fooled, if you want Castrol's 20W50 oil, then it would be the Castrol Active Xtra.

**ryder_boney** · 11-21-2008, 09:25 PM

@ rx100.

Err.... itz not carbon fiber exhaust
itz just got a carbon fiber finishing on the outer side of it instead of
our regular shiny alloy color

n as of performance itz apparent that
outer design is never gonna effect on it
nether it gonna take toll on it......

yeah one cant predict if they 've tweaked the inside
catlike converter to meet new emission norms

@ aryan thanx a lot, 've u also been usein the same?

**Aryan** · 11-21-2008, 09:30 PM

@boney: Naah! I have been using the service center oil uptil now and I am wholly satisfied with that. Probably, I would shift to Motul or a fully synthetic oil past the 7-8k mark on the odometer.

Did the P-220 had the fork problem as well!!?? I didn't know that, I thought only the 200cc Pulsar had this pathetic "problem"...

It is a very old piece of news.Only P200 had problems with front shocks and all the pieces with the said front shocks was called back and replaced free of cost.

220 never had this problem.

@ryder-P220 is very sensitive to petrol and engine oil quality.Make sure that you are using the correct oil grade.How is the petrol quality in your city?If it's not great then it's important to change the fuel and oil filter much earlier than the stipulated period.

HID will void your warranty.

**prakash_mvpa** · 11-21-2008, 09:57 PM

I am sorry! It was a problem for P200 as MG biker said.

thanx fo it

i got really nice quality fuel
i get tank up from a well trusted gas station
n i regularly use power/speed petrol

n' as an added precaution the PBK dealer in Jpur (from where i purchased the bike) provided me a petrol additive from iftex brand n also poured a oil additive to the oil when i got the bike

my other Q. is
that i've heard a lot or read, fo that matter, bout the co% n setting

can any body spread a littel light on the co% n how itz corrected

gonna be a huge favor

Getting the correct CO setting is very important for the health of the bike otherwise the tuning of the bike gets screwed completely.You can face multiple problems.

Its very important to get the CO setting done on first service and thereafter on every service check it.The ideal CO figure for your bike will be around 3.

**prankie** · 11-21-2008, 11:38 PM

Today some mo**er fu**ers stole the pulsar sticker and the 2 (of the 220) sticker of my bike...
