^it aint confirmed i think...they also said tht F stands for FAired :?
nywayss...here is something for all guys from me..

@prafultripathy: Any damage to the bike's fairings on the Leh trip? One of my friends is planning for Leh&was contemplating on removing the fairings.

No damage at all. But Veda's 220 got a dent in the tank on the return trip, but that was partly our fault we did not oversee the loading and locking of the compartment.

If your friend removed the fairing, how does he plan to carry it?

PS: No need to use my full name, please call me Praful.

Cool, so I'll ask him to go ahead with it, but be careful while loading&unloading.

Damage during transportation is dependent on the following variables :-

1. Mode of transport
2. Packing up of the bike
3. Loading/Unloading method of the bike
4. Placement of the bike in the transport compartment
5. Owners Luck (This is the most important! )

Updates: Somewhere in this thread i read Osram nightbreaker H7 cost as INR 1350.. current price is Rs.1750 in chennai..
Available in Sundaram Auto parts GP road.

Am thinking of fixing the osram bulbs by myself... any help or advice on that... Chennai pbk is a bit far from my place, and its pretty tough for me to take my bike to them during morning hours...

PS: Chennai Pbk always advices me to visit them during morning hours..

Its simple. If you can work your hands up in the fairing it can be done without opening the fairing.
Remove the rubber housing. Pluck out the socket. In the low beam there will be locking clips. Push both the ends close and then out. The clips are released and then the bulb is freed. Pluck it out and fix the Osram. Make sure u put the bulb correctly. There will be a notch like thing which should point upwards. Now put the clips back in the reverse order.
High beam has a single ended clip and everything else is similar.

Guys!! i am completing 10 years of biking next month. :-) i bought my first bike just as i turned 18. Initially i was not that crazy about bikes. Over the time i fell in love with them. Now i am hardcore biker who gets a dizzy feel if i dont ride a bike for couple of days.

i got so passionate about two wheels that i bought myself a cycle and a scooter ( roller skating type) :-)

I bought 220 two years back. like I started biking i was not passionate about 220 then. i had hardly seen it too as i live in a small town. One day i visited Bajaj showroom in a city with a friend to get a bike for him and saw 220. i was excited and felt out of the world seeing the bike and fell in love with the bike instantly.

i wanted one at any cost. i was too confused about which colour i wanted.

Saw a titanium grey colour 220 in Autocar magazine and instantly fell in love with the colour too. :-) I booked the bike few days later. initially dealer was ignorant about the colour i asked and was not willing to accept my booking. i had to show them grey colour 220 pictures in different magazines to convince them. :-)

15 days later i got my machine. Oh! God, it was one of the happiest days in my life :-) its the best bike i ever had. I love every bit of it.
I haven't had a single repair till date except minor ratling of fairings and tail piece and periodic services. I have done lot of touring and use the bike on a daily basis.

i find the bike very reliable and i believe it as the best bike available in India in that price range. :-)

i am very much excited about completing 10 years of biking and owning a 220. just felt like sharing with you guys. Cheers.. !!!

Congrats man 220 is indeed an amazing machine!!!!

thts how we all feel...VERY PROUD . very well penned down..Congratz on ur biking nirvana...Ride safe..

Congratz dude

thanks bro... will give a try soon...

Guys,
I am from sri lanka and this is my 1st post

Finally i got my dream bike 3 weeks a go. she is a Red 200 one (with white taco meter).

i saw this Pictures in xBhp today.



All i want to know that, can i do this modification to my handle without replacing it? If i have to replace it, does it avoid the warranty?

^^^ Cheers & Welcome buddy.

So the P200 is still sold in SL!

BTW, the Bajaj clipons (from the P180 or P220) are good and you don't need many parts to be changed. The warranty thing will not have anything to do with this but in reality it depends on your dealer. What modifications would you want to do to the handlebar / What better stuff have you got that you want to change the stock ones? Would you pls post a snap of those... if you have already seen some.
