    All their website speaks about is air filters --> http://india.cosworth.com/products/p...lters-(india)/

      • After my bikes electrical issues I found time to give it to service only last week. Since starting the bike was not an option without the electrics working called chennai PBK and asked them to come and pick up the bike. After a day I call them to know the status, they advice me to convert the bike to a carb one that would cost me 10k! I was like WTH! I told them to check what was wrong on the bike and rectify it rather than advising me crap!

        A friend of mine had issues with his Fi unit and requires it to be replaced. Same was advised to him to convert the bike to a carb one! Seems the Fi units are not available off the shelves , according to the chennai PBK only 5-6 units are shipped to the service centers once in every 3 months.

        Signs of troubles with a phased out bike??

            I think they are just being lazy and not trying to figure out what the issue with the bike is.

            Ofcourse the ECU is not available off the shelf, I am yet to come across someone with a failed ECU. There were a few ECU replacements done in the initial few days but thats about it. And I'm pretty sure there isn't any issue with your Fi system

            Worst case scenario the fuel pump has failed! But I cant say for sure as I don't know what is the issue with your bike.

            There is another option to transport your bike AutoService BLR.

                Yes, definitely!

                Bigger Filter = More Air !!

                        Hey fellow 220 owners I have recently encountered a problem with my bike. I went on a tour covering 1800 kms with rains and mostly under hot sun! My bike crossed 40k kms in the tour.

                        60 kms before my home bike stalled completely. I was actually overtaking a mini truck on the ECR when the bike's electricals died . I lost the power while overtaking but somehow managed to bring the bike to halt on the road side. It was in the evening around 30 PM and bike had headlights on . Battery's are less than a year old and had the bike serviced before the ride from Auto Service Bangalore. Called Praful after the incident and he advised to me check for blown fuses. Fuses were fine. I made sure there were no loose connections in the wires so meddled with them and tried my luck. The bike started but had the low battery indicator on. So used only pilot lamp and avoided horn/headlight/indicators and was escorted by my fellow riders to my home safe.

                        The next day I tried to switch on the bike, there was no self check nothing after I turned on the ignition. Battery seemed to have died completely. But I still suspect some loose connection or some issue with the wiring somewhere as randomly the self check happens but bike doesn't start. I will be towing it to PBK this weekend. Before that wanted to know what should be checked and what could have gone wrong. Bike has everything in stock.

Also, do check if some sensor has gone bad. I had similar issues with my roll over sensor going kaput (have changed it atleast 6 times in 56k km of riding)
                        Also, check for any white deposits on the relay (facing your battery, it will be on top right - a plug like thing. Clean it with petrol and see if things are better)
                        Worst case scenario: Wiring harness is going bad. Makes sense to get it changed if this becomes a recurring problem (I know many guys who have got it changed at some stage or the other. Cost is approx 2.5k)

                        So after a week long Chennai PBK had given my bike back. They had re done the entire wiring on the bike. They have taped loose connections and made sure the wires are not not exposed to the frame/metal parts . Took the bike for short spin during night to check if the issue re occurs nothing as of now. So looks like it was a loose wiring that caused the issue. Thankfully they didnt go ahead and charge the battery first without looking into the wiring!

                        And now I am in love with my 220 all over again! 220 Fi rocks!!!

                        • That's a temp solution. Would recommend getting the entire wiring harness replaced when you feel okay to spend about 2.7K for it.

                          Peace of mind is assured only then

                          But you can hold on for another 10-15K kms

                          PS: Din't you move to BLR?

                            Yes Praful this is a temporary one. Will get the entire wiring harness replaced before the next ride during monsoons . Until then for the commutes this would suffice.

                            P.S: I moved to BLR But never stayed here for any weekend. Will be staying here this weekend. Will call you .

                              NOTE: This kind of a service in necessarily required to be done, but I had done a lot part replacements as a proactive measure! Got my bike back yesterday after it was at PBK for almost a week.

                              Key Parts Changed:-

                              1. Bore Piston Kit - This was unexpected, but there was a bit scoring on the cylinder walls and if I continued using the existing bore-piston somewhere down the road, major oil drinking would have started. So got that replaced, and for the Fi also now the bore-piston kit is the graphite coated like on the 220 Dts-i. So running in the bike easily this time, no motoman business!
                              see the pic below please

                              The Graphite Coated one , i mean the Thing which is on the Right side ?

                              but even yesterday i checked the newly packed Mar 12 Block piston kit of p220 FI ,
                              it doesnt have the Coat only the (Black) Block piston kit of Dts - i has the Graphite coat !
