Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi


LOL.... yes. It costs a lot and the best part is that not easily available. Afterall, part of a forgotten legacy

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Well not a bomb per say, but its pretty expensive @ 4.5K

Plus nobody usually stocks it and it needs to be ordered, which will take any where from 3-6 weeks depending on how effective your PBK is.

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

well 4.5k is actually a lot. even i am facing same problem less power output feel, shutting down. But i am living with it.

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Ok raising this koshun again..

How is the CEat in wet on pure tarmac? Braking/Cornering/High-speed /etc

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

My P220 when started it just goes off so I took a look at the rpm placed @ 1.5 but now when i change it to 1st gear it turns off.
why is this happening? Any idea?

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Dear Jedi

You should have been able to figure that out by some awesome mind tricks

Disclaimer 1: No comparison with Sirac, never used your first love
Disclaimer 2: Never use the rear brake on tarmac. 100% front end braking.

Braking: Tyre holds steady without leaving its line at all. But rear brakes never used.
Cornering: Cornering earlier at triple digits with stock front tyre, i could corner at the same speeds wet or dry. Can't do the same anymore with the Michelin front. I can lean the bike more with the Vertigo than with the stock MRF, though that could also be because i have improved my skills as a rider.
High - Speed: Top speed does reduce a bit as compared to stock tyre, what with the big block tyre pattern and all. Acceleration also reduces a bit. Tyre is very stable, again very comfortable to maintain triple digits in the rain.
Etc.: A bit unnerving when you first change to this tyre, because the contact patch is very small as compared to stock. Two finger contact patch on this compared to the four finger of the stock MRF.



Another meditating trick i learnt to take on the might of the Jedi's is to use the Zoom at the front as it also comes in the stock 90/90-17" size. So am a happy man

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

So no rear brakes.. No straight line grip!!

Hmm ... Me thinks will stick to Vyde

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi



Just for clarification. The reason i don't use the rear brake is not because of the tyre. It is simply a personal preference. Any bike i ride, it will be with only the front brakes, regardless of bike model or tyre. The only time i use the rear on tarmac is when running drums or scooters

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

I'm too used to distributed braking. The front alone isn't sufficient for me at least!

Also not too confident that with reduced contact patch the Ceat will actually hold some grip when braking.

How much did you pay for the Ceat? Maybe I can give it a try if its cheap

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi


2k when i bought it. 2.2K when i inquired about the price a couple of days back.

You have a very valid point there, for people who use the rear brake a lot, it might be weird to brake on a cycle tyre contact patch!

Ask Dips dada as well, he used it on his Fi i think

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

And that is the difference in braking between steel braided brake lines on the Carb as compared to 'lets fill brake fluid in a sock and hope it works' on the Fi

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

That's why I got the steel braided line on mine when the Dtsi got launched. Trying to leech off the Duke's rear steel braided line too, but its too long.

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi




Just changing to steel braided line helped or whole assembly to byrbe set up? Need review's

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

I just changed the line. That's all that is needed.

Braking is far more progressive after that. And that's all I remember because its been more than 4 years I've changed over.

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Me too wanna upgrade to steel braided brake line. I have got Bybre calipers installed. Even with that the brakes are quite good. A top tip even though I guess u know it very well. If the rear disc brake feels very rigid and low on stopping power, it's time to get it disassembled and have it cleaned and lubed thoroughly. It works wonder!! Recently I got it done and rear brake is now amazingly responsive!!

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

On the contrary, my rear brakes have performed top notch since day 1. Only after about 1L kms the piston in the rear brake caliper seized, so I got my rear caliper assembly replaced, I did not put the Bybre one it involved additional costs and changes which I was not too keen about. So I got the KBX model for the rear again and the braking has been superb again. And for the first time I had changed the rear brakes major kit as well.

But every service, they are supposed to open and lube the caliper assembly for both front and back.
