Which is the 2nd incident that I know of that the exact same thing is happening.

Hope for the best man.

I know who the first one is :-P
Santa

California Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

That's just plain nasty thing to have happened. Wonder how some innocuous looking activity can sometimes lead to such results.

Can't say I know what you feel, it's one thing to happen to self and another when it happens to anyone else. Take care and get well soon.

bajaj recommends 20w50 grade
n all the PBK centers r using the same grades (not a specific brand though)

i'm on Valvoline on my second srvs.

Really sorry to hear that dude.........
Give us the good news soon that you are again reving high

Yes, I do have some information. I checked on the PBK at FC and they had the exact same red colored oil which they were using for the 220s being serviced there. I asked the brand and they replied "Motul mineral 20W50".

Has anyone tried the regular Motul 20W50?

This is a freaky incident man...but dont really know why was the bike running? Ideally, it should never be running when cleaning the chain as its easy to get your fingers stuck in.
But at the same time, accidents do happen so keep it all behind and we all wish you a very speedy recovery.

Freak accident man. Hope you recover soon.
Can never be too careful with the chain cleaning.

Thanks for taking the pain to post with one hand. I understand your noble intention - i am sure you will get well soon.
The day i learnt about your incident, i have stopped cleaning the chain with bike running.
I had been doing it for one whole year..i used to put the bike in first gear and open a little throttle and then clean the chain - how risky !!
But not anymore.

All >> Switch off the engine before you start cleaning the chain.

But one doubt - isn't it supposed to switch off when its engaged in 1st gear with clutch released ??

Awesome !!

OH GOSH, Get Well Soon mate.

CHEERS,
G D

Clutch less shift... and there's no load on the tires... very less chance of engine stopping.

Pls check a few pages back... Praful has mentioned abt this.

aargh..,thats terrible.Get well soon dude.

Hi guys... I have done 13K KMs on my Odo and my bike is 9 months old.. Pretty comfortable with my Bike's performance so far...


Average Mileage - 35 KMPL
Top Speed attained on speedo - 138 KMPH

But i am not at all satisfied with the After Sale Service from the Chennai (Jai Bajaj) Pro-Biking Center... but i don't have any other choice as there is only one pro-biking center in chennai

You have two ways to go about this, either you can let it dry for sometime i.e. 5-10 mins, you can keep the bike on stand and let it run in first gear so the excess diesel flys off.

OR

Clean the chain with petrol after diesel, the petrol will remove the diesel. But, once you are finish cleaning with petrol, lube the chain IMMEDIATELY, as Petrol is highly active and will harden the O-Rings.

The Dealer whom your P200 friend was speaking too....doesn't know what the hell he was talking about.

1. Its a Universal truth that foam is the best when it comes to filtering. Don't believe me, use google judiciously!

2. Tuning the 220 to run with a KnN, you DON'T need to hotwire the ECU or anything like that. It can be done by just the air screw+diagnostoc tool.

Dealers dishing out such crappy information is so bad !

Wats the best time of the day to hit lavasa? As in less traffic etc?

Really?

You're the third person I know who's had this incident!

ALL THE BEST man! Wishing you a SPEEDY recovery! Hope to see back to biking with a bang!

I've used it, and I can say that its the best Mineral oil I've used till date. Lasted me a good 2.5K under hard riding, including a 800 kms one day ride.

Good you posted here, hopefully Bajaj will take notice!

What is the issue you are facing that they are unable to resolve?

I've actually had a pretty good experience with them towards my last few services.

Hi,
Posted this info on P220 thread. Applicable to P220 ofcrs. So here it is...

Went on a short trip to Murthal & Kurukshetra yesterday. While returning back,stopped at Petrol Station. Elect starter wont work. Just a 'khut' sound. Tried for 15 mnts. No solution. Asked the petrol attendant to push the bike. Bike started at 2nd gear. Then didnt stopped the engine untill i reached my Home then to PBK Okhla. Relay malfunctioned. They replaced it with Avenger's. Working fine now. I thing I was told. Whenever this problem, just open the Battery side panel, remove the rubber cover from the two nodes & just short the two nodes (nuts) with a metal rod, screw driver which will complete the connection & whola!!! Bike will come into life
