    When you say it's not starting, what exactly is happening? After the fuel pump primes, is the engine cranking up or even that is not happening. There are multiple reasons for this.



    You could get the fuel float serviced. I don't remember if the carb 220s filter can fit the Fi tank. Will check this with my svc center and revert.
    Fuel pump is priming and engine is cranking. Put in 1000/- worth of petrol. But still wouldn't start. Pushed it to a local mechanic. He changed a spark plug, charged the battery and the bike started.
    Fuel indicator now shows almost full. Should I get the fuel indicator sensor changed?

      You could try getting the fuel float serviced. Sometimes it gets stuck due to adulterants in Fuel over a long time. That might solve your problem for a lot cheaper than getting the float replaced.

              Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

              Hello everybody, I had come across this thread is because I would require your inputs on the following.

              I currently own a CBR 250 ABS (2013) model and unfortunately I am unable to find the parts nor the mechanics to keep it running, therefore I am looking for alternatives.

              At that time of purchasing the CBR I too had the Pulsar 220 F Dtsi as an option, but given the Honda superiority I chose the former.

              Now I had the following queries;
              1. I commute regularly from Bangalore to Bombay on the main highways and occasionally on the ghat areas. So is the bike reliable for those distances( considering all maintenance is done). And does the windscreen offer adequate protection? Or are the legs exposed?
              2. Is the bike easy to live with? Availability of parts and mechanics? Even in the most interior towns and villages
              3. About the rear view mirrors, I understand that they may not offer the best view but are they adjustable on the go? I have not seen those mounts before.


              Thank you.

                Thank you.
                220 is freakin reliable even if you don’t religiously maintain it. You need to take care of engine though.

                Parts are available off the shelf through out India. Cheap enough to replace them than repairing parts.

                220 is a mile muncher. You can blindly trust me on this.

                If you are taller than 6 feet, you might feel riding posture to be sporty. Else you can ignore this.

                Mount rear view mirrors to handle with some jugad. Done.

                    Should be better than CBR, Considering it has bigger wind screen than CBR.
                    I have never owned a CBR so, guessing it.

                      one of my friend wants to install turbo charger in his pulsar 200. Is it possible? If yes then what will be benefits and will it suits the engine??

                        I doubt it is possible, if yes, then there would be some extra gain in power and torque specially at the higher rpms.

                          Turbo on a carb bike? Might not be possible. You need electronics to turn on turbo at some rpm and you need to be able to limit its speed electronically at higher rpm’s. If not turbo and piston are toast.

                          There are many different types of turbos. Each generates different levels of compressed air. A too small turbo might work but not sure. It’s too expensive for the expected power increase, if any. If you can invest in such a project, sell the bike and buy dominar. Same cost and more power with warranty.

                            On youtube there is a video of turbo installed in 220F and dont know whether there was any electronics or not but as shown it was working well.

                              Turbo could be installed and it will work. But turbo will work efficiently only between certain rpm. If you cross that, you will have to increase fuel rate to engine. How will you do that in carb engine?
