500 Kms should be OK! Even during this running in you can ride the bike normally, just don't exceed 6K RPM!

Just hope that rings replacement fixes the oil drinking problem. If it does not you might need to replace the bore!

Thanks..lets hope the rings solve the problem Will update once i get it replaced and complete atleast 500-600kms..pray for my bike

Praful one more question since you have got your silencer replaced 2-3 time i guess what was the exact cause of the problem?
My bike is running on the 2nd exhaust, first one replaced due to accident.
The exhaust starts to rattle very badly after i ride for 2-3 kms say at 70-80 kmph for sumtime and then keeps on rattling until i switch off the engine for sumtime.
Its like when it is cool it does not rattle but when i ride hard for few kms the loud rattling starts. Showed it to PBK but since the exahust had become cool it didnt rattle and they couldnt help me..

I'm on my 7th exhaust

Don't ask how and why

Usually the internal welds of the silencer break off and coz the internal pipe to rattle about. Rip all the way to PBK to show them the problem with your bike

We don't type "lyk" this on xBhp. Please avoid SMS lingo in the future

Show your bike to the Bajaj Pro-Biking they are your best bet, change your tyres if they are worn out already though 12K is too early for that!

PS: This is the 220 Fi thread, the 220 Dts-i thread is here!

7th Exhaust

Guruji tusi great ho

I guess its time to Get my Bike Joel-ed

**shooms7** · 05-09-2011, 01:34 PM

I am not great.. The great bajaj and their amazing quality is the result of this. Twice it was replaced under warranty, thrice due to falls, and the other 2 times because warranty was not there but the silence was damaged anyways...

Nice
Seriously quality is not that gud, it shows when the parts start to age with time and usage. Anyways thanks for your prompt replies. I am thinking to get FFE from Joel this time

Lets hope the oil drinking problem gets solved first..getting sleepless nights

**Praful** · 05-09-2011, 01:57 PM

Well the exhaust is the only part thats weak. The newer lot of exhaust are much much better, I haven't changed mine in the past 1.5 years

Before you go the Joel way, ensure that your bike is already in top shape.

Yes Sir!

Actualy not planning to go for the stock this time because its been 4 yrs now since i got this bike, mine is from the first batch of P200's (Apr'07 lot). I am slowly getting bored from my bike so thought FFE would add some lost charm to it. But as you said i need to address the other issues first so thats the priority as of now.
Till then the rattling from the silencer will make each ride memorable

People stare when i ride!

yeah its so loud now

Go easy on the bike for about 500 Kms!

After that see if you still face the leaking problem!

Thanks bro.. that was a big big help..

. I went to PBK here in Pune a couple of days back and those guys were telling me "We don't change piston rings here! We have never changed Piston rings here. We always change entire block piston set. But if you want, we will do it for you."

They didn't have the rings though... placed an order for the same. Hopefully the rings will be here in 3 more days. Currently on 30572km. Did a Pune - Mumbai - Pune ride yesterday with pillion.. Could feel it become increasingly sluggish especially in the low revs.. Maybe that could be attributed *somewhat* to the Sirac.. but still I could actually feel the sluggishness.. never before has the bike behaved like this. Even the FE was a low 31 with me riding strictly in the 80-105 range.

Try another PBK if they are refusing you. It might be becasue they didnt have stock of rings. Changing rings is not a very tough job but requries a traiined and experienced mechanic.
