Its not common to dtsi and dtsfi. The whole wiring series for Fi is xxx62. For dtsi its either xxxx61 or xxxx60Originally posted by Praful View PostYea would get about 35-45 depending how foolish a buyer you get!
I suggest, keep it, fix it, ride it!
Cheaper that way!
About the electrical part, I'm not sure which part you are planning on changing, if its anything common between the Dts-i and Fi there shouldn't be an issue with changing it.
Yep i have had multiple electrical problems, thankfully no mechanical :-)Originally posted by a.jayamohan View PostHeard that there were some electrical issues with 2007 model P220.AFIK you will definitely get the 220fi wiring series from Bajaj. They are held responsible for this. And hope you will under the 5 year warranty but ask about the wiring. So why can't email your query to Bajaj customer care? You need a gud mechanic from PBK to solve the other problems,ie valve clearence,fuel filter replacement,engine and injector flush, fuel ratio adjust,Air filter replacement, chain sprocket check and cluch reload etc. I am damn sure the Bike will be alright after the complete check up. So why you investing extra 1.5 for a new bike?
A list, as far as i can remember :-)
1. 2 roll over sensor changes
2. 2 speedo sensor changes
3. Battery changed (which is ok)
4. Relays changed almost every few months.
Am used to its nakhras
The definition of Good Mechanic is very diluted here in Gugaon. I specifically told them what the problem was, went away to office and when i came back, they had done nothing. The guys didn't even bother to check that the engine was misfiring and after washing, the bike was not even starting
Anyway got it back to service bay for the check up. Have already got the things mentioned by you, done. Its the clutch thats left. Will check if i can get this electrical wiring series in Delhi atleast.

See finally it depends on what "rim width" the tyre is designed for, the final profile of the tyre will depends on that. Eg: I am currently running a 90/90 front tyre, which is exactly the same as stock. But the tyre is designed for a wider rim, and the profile formed is more rounded and straightline contact patch is lesser than stock.Originally posted by JonnyRider View Post@Praful: dude, little more reasoning on that fact, would be more helpful...I mean, 130x80, wouldn't give more contact patch, as u said, but why is that opinion?
Btw, there is a good tyre from VeeRubber which is 130/80. Pretty good, but very very soft compound will finish off in 10K kms.
Then stick to the Dts-Fi wiring set only.Originally posted by Mik View PostIts not common to dtsi and dtsfi. The whole wiring series for Fi is xxx62. For dtsi its either xxxx61 or xxxx60
There is some prob with your bike that is causing these troubles.I I've only had the roll over sensor changed once, that too because it came defective from factory and was changed within the first 5K kms. But yes, I'm on my third battery in 3 years!!Originally posted by Mik View PostYep i have had multiple electrical problems, thankfully no mechanical :-)

After a wash misfiring, means there is a shot somewhere either under the seat wires or around the battery area.Originally posted by Mik View PostThe definition of Good Mechanic is very diluted here in Gugaon.

Its best you got your complete wiring replaced and then proceed with trouble shooting the bikes issues. I thought the PBK's at NCR were pretty competent. Contact MG if you want some PBK related dhakka to get things working.
For all things electrical I would advise you to stick to PBK only._________________________

Dont worry. Use your customer rights..write to Bajaj with immediate effect. A crying baby only gets the milk
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the seat.

Guys going to change the rear tyre in the weekend should i go for the VYDE or SIRAC? my driving conditions are mostly in city i occasionally ride on highways & i want the tyre which provides superb handling and good grip on wet roads.
So which tyre is best suited for my riding style any other tyre suggestions are welcome heared that sirac increases the speed at all rpms
is that true?

But if you need extra good grip in all terrain and all weather conditions then it is SIRAC.

Bro but in city traffic conditions does sirac survive well? i think sirac is best suitable for regular high way riders and tourers but iam not a tourer or regular highway rider iam a heavy city riderOriginally posted by a.jayamohan View PostHey bro, I am using vyde,and no issues till date

& i rarely hit the highways.
Thats why asking does the sirac suits to my driving conditions?PULSAR 180 DTSI- 2007

Vyde and Sirac suffer from one problem which make them bad for city. They loose straightline grip under heavy braking.
But over since you are a city rider stick to Vyde, the acceleration drop in Sirac is something you can do without in city!_________________________

These days.. (till about 1 month back) prices of the tyres in Pune
Stock MRF: Rs.2400
Zapper VYDE : Rs.2700
Michelin Sirac : Rs.2800Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

I bought my Vyde here in Bangalore. Its a soft compound tyre, it lasted me only about 10K kms. If you can open images linked from facebook, here's a shot of what my Vyde at 15K kms looked like...just before I put the SiracOriginally posted by truelypulsarian View PostWow those threads desgin looks very great

Stock tyres lasted me about 20-22K, I ran them for 25K!
@Antz.Bin: WTF!!!! 2.4K for stock tyres and 2.7K for Vyde! Shite... I'm never buying a MRF
