    Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

    Having moved to Bangalore 2.5 years back, I had left my T20 (named after India's win in the T20 WC a day before) with my bro-in-law who neglected it big time to say the least. Rust, battery down, cranking on no fuel leading to a fuel pump failure, missing mirror - anything that could go wrong - did.
    Finally, I booked a flight to Delhi last thursday night and rode my T20 down to bangalore over the next 2.5 days.
    The mirror solution worked well. Better than the original mirrors - aesthetics be damned.
    The bike worked better - a 10 year old warhorse saw off the ride with minimal fuss.
    Did 10hrs on first day (GGN-Neemuch) and then 15 hrs (Neemuch - Pune) and 12 hrs (Pune to Bangalore) for the overall 2.4k km ride.

    Now - the restoration begins. Any good SVC in BLR for this ?

    The mirror solution

    You don't want to see pics of my bike else you will never do it

    I took a hacksaw and chopped off the fairing and fairing frame from my bike. So now it looks bloody ugly. But it works fantastic because the bike isn't front heavy anymore and it is substantially lighter. Not the best for the highways, but wonderful for city commutes and mild off-roading!

    You can fashion something out to neatly block away the open holes on the fairing for the mirrors.

    Do not use apache mirrors. They are heavy and will brake fairing frame. Unnecessary welding needed every now and then.

    The P220 DTS-Fi has become something of a cult thanks to owners like you who put in time and effort to maintain it past the 100k mark.

    Just FYI, I do have some oil seepage around the crankcase breather and definitely some minor seepage around the cylinder head gasket area. This is typical 'Bajaj' behaviour, but this seepage definitely does not explain almost 500 ml of oil vanishing off. I will check the airbox over the weekend
    Just pull the cap off the AF box drain (a ***** to remove and put back considering the position), if you find the missing oil there then you can go for an overhaul whenever you feel adequate as long as you top up the oil and drain the AF box once in a while considering that your bikes FI.

    but there should have been a slight dip in power as the air filter should have struggled to breathe with the excess oil. I will also check the plugs for excess oil.
    Spot on, after the air filter box the SP is precisely the next thing to check. As for power loss due to oil build-up in the AF box, very unlikely as you’ll notice smoke coming from the exhaust due to the oil being consumed via intake way before you’ll notice any actual power drop.
    Since you’re running off of a FI, it would be safer to inspect the AF box sooner than later to avoid the intake consuming blow-by oil and messing up your pump and injectors.
