I disagree politely with what you said. If I were in a situation where I had no choice, where I knew no-one was coming, I would have surely checked the wirings. I actually explained the manager in Khivraj Motors that it wasnt a battery drainage as ECU 3.9 was being displayed all the time in the meter, but nothing else was working. But the thing is, I had the option of calling Bajaj Breakdown Service fellows and it was best for them to do what they do best. And with all respect, I think I qualify as an experienced rider because I have been not only riding but "biking" for eight years now. And i have had my share of moments where the only option was to take out the seat, the tools underneath it and start working than whiningOriginally posted by chetanpulsar View Post

payeng, if u remember, i had an issue with the NGK Irridium Spark plugs. It wasn't sparking properly even with the proper specs being put in the correct sides.Originally posted by payeng View Postwhat's the reason for the replacement..??
Found out later that the issue was the ECU. The ECU had gone kaput the same time i was changing the plugs. Therefore, lot of misfire, non-idle, engine-off probs during that time.DoN\'t LivE tO DiE, dIe tO LiVe

gud to be back on xbhp..jus had one question..what are the things i should be checking when buying a used 220??..i have an offer from a doctor..6 months old bike..600km run for 78k..any comments??
At 600 Kms the bike should be almost as good as new..
This is what I would suggest:
- Get a comprehensive test ride of the bike
- Check for smoothness of pick up (the P220 picks up quite smoothly from speeds of 35-40 kmph in top gear)
- Since it is 600 kms run, the bike is ideally in the running in period, therefore do not rip the bike
- Check for chassis balance- The bike should ideally remain in a straight line and shouldn't veer towards right/left
- Check the Front/Rear Suspension for rebound/damping
- Look out for any funny noise

Ok so its not the NGK's..
By the way, how satisfied are you with the after sales service that you have been getting? Also I hope the replacement is being covered under warranty.

94,000 - 78,000= a saving of 16,000K ..!!
Looks to be a very good deal (provided the bike is really in good shape)..
Don't forget to spend the 16K saved in a good branded Helmet, Riding Jacket and a pair of Leather gloves..!!

am pretty satisfied with the after sales service. Khivraj sevicemen are well versed with the problems that P220 might get. And yes Payeng, everything is being covered uinder warranty. Even the breakdown service.Originally posted by payeng View PostOk so its not the NGK's..
