With limited options currently, going back to stock is the best option. But if you're OK to spend some Gandhi's, for the rear you can get the Michelin Pilot Radial 140/70.

Just off road then the Ceat's are better. But I think the MRFs are better on tarmac.

Its a 220, the handling will feel cycle like

but do check the condition of the cone set, replace it if not done for a while now. Similarly for the front suspension , the oil hasn't been changed for a long time / 10K get that replaced too. You can add extra oil to stiffen up the front, that will improve handling around corners but will be a bit not so comfy off-the-road. The last weak link is the rear suspension, if you haven't changed it in the last 3-4 years or 60-70K kms, get it replaced.

Only these three components along with tyres affect handling. Can't change the frame, its crappy anyways.

PS: what's the wifey's opinion about the 390's comfort?

Thanks for the pointers. Will get the cone set replaced - I am not sure if I have ever got it replaced! I am also holding onto a Sirac (original one) and that will do duty this year in Ladakh (A friend will be riding the 220)
KTM 390 and wifey - don't mix well

She was so irritated that she has opted for the office cab even though we go to the same office complex!

Any pointers as to what should I ask the service center to check ?

Edit: Front tyre - between the Ceat Zoom and MRF Zapper - any thoughts on which would perform better off-road.

may be the problem is you are used to your dukes handling..

.....btw using the duke for office even though your mrs use cab for the same place..helmets off to you man

Thanks in advance...

**Giftonsamuel** · 08-26-2014, 08:23 PM

Re: Overhauling my P220

Bike is slowly munching to 50k kms .
Silencer has started producing metallic sound and is on due for replacement .
A few more months left before bidding good bye to the bike.
Waiting & waiting for Pulsar 400 .And if it gets delayed will be changing silencer & push on the sweet 220

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

my bike's ecu has gone bonkers, up for replacement. anybody have clue on how much dose it cost? thanks

**somnath_halder** · 09-08-2014, 04:21 PM

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Its a long time to come back to XBHP for a problem with my p220fi which still doing good on its original state.

My p220 fi now almost 6yrs old.

The cost of ECU is Around Rs.1650/- in Kolkata.

Do any one have any idea what is exact throttle body screw position. One Bajaj SVC guy messed it up with out knowing about it.

In Kolkata no more PBK centre and KTM SVC guys refuse to tell anything about it.

So please help me to set the throttle body screw in its original position. As I need to set the idle throttle properly.

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Any Fi owners still alive?

I find this strange behavior with my fuel pump. I can hear the pump whirring when the lights are off, but the sound of the pump reduces the moment I turn off the lights.

Obviously, this is an electrical/load issue. Just wanted to check if anyone had this earlier and resolved this.

Strange behaviour indeed. But do you think that xBhp is the right place to discuss this

Also congrats on keeping her going strong. Lots of love you have.

I remember Dipankar having a similar problem, maybe you can ask him.

PS - All you Fi guys have problems with your pump as old age creeps in

I got 'pump' transplant done a few months back, so there's a brand new pump gushing fuel towards the throttle body now.

Definitely not a pump issue (or so I hope

).

It could be old battery or insufficient current being generated.

i remember something similar on the Duke 200. Turned out to be that the stator coil went bust, not enough current to charge the battery and it drained finally, leaving the bike dead in the middle of Spiti. It happened because the battery was being used consumed more thanks to the repeated cranking in the cold. It was probably on its last leg, when it gave up the ghost completely. An inherent problem in the first batch of the Duke 200 apparently.

Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Old 220 Fi owner reporting Saar. My once shiny knight does the office commute duty nowadays (since the missus refuses to ever sit on the KTM 390)
Also, a friend rode my 220 to Ladakh this year (I was on the KTM) and boy, did the old lady shine. Left all its younger and shinier siblings (A 200Ns and a 220 Carb) in the dust when it came to climbing up the passes.

Nope! Never gonna sell it.
