      The best setup i have had is a dual hid low beam ( both halogens ) high beam both hids

      FYI who has not seen the halogen + hid.
      The high HID low halogen bulb looks like this
      Awesome. Is this same setup available for 220's as well? both halogen and HID for high and low beam?


      Wish you all a very happy new year!

          Try PlanetDSG or Cramster. In trivandrum i don't think it is available... Auto Queen Cochin is where you can buy in kerala...

            Here the so called ''Cheap'' riding gloves are available at a price tag of Rs.300 only!
            Though I doubt that they can protect u in case of any mishap.
            They look much more like very thick winter gloves with outer fabric lookin like original high end riding gloves.

            Btw..wishing B'lated Happy New Year 2010 to all R15'ers!

            First time I had seen this thread with no replies in last few days. Looks like we all are too much busy in new year celebration's.

            Btw.. R15'rs, anyone took a new year resolution related to your bike?

            O.T. - I took mine - ''from today onwards I would scare away my neighbour kid every time I see him''. How is it related to my bike? Well, the moment this bawali kid see my bike, he dig's a blade in my seat.
            Now its time to tit for tat.. I would cut his tricycle's seat into piece's because no choclate seems to work for him, not even a big choclate box of ''Desire'' worth rs. 200(which I gave him on New Year Btw)
            And soon I would loose all my hair's if this kid continue's to do what he does so religiously!

            Guys, help me out please.

                  no specific logic...just to reduce the time in which the gears change....thats only usefull while racing...milliseconds "should not" make much of a difference.
                  Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                    3. A bit more than Half if u want to save some milliseconds in race, or while dissappearing when ur dad saw you and ur GF on last traffic signal
                    Btw..if this is the case then ur screwd no matter how many milliseconds u save.

                    2. Check the chain tension Or check the play. Btw..what should I understand when you say ''lube'', diesel, chain lube or anything else? Your lubing material does matters.

                    1. Any other option except applying 3rd digree on that bawalia kid?

                      Be firm and tell the kid's parents to get him to behave or you will be forced to teach him manners yourself...

                      @ Amrit- Regarding the chain, I get what you mean. Noise sometimes goes up, but do some more riding, it'll go away. Do some speed runs, if possible. And shift only when you disengage the clutch fully. Unless you're racing, I'd suggest you leave the half-clutching and clutchless shifting aside...
                      You get the point?? :D

                        The P220 is using halogens even in the projector. If you want to check how a works in a P220, check Pranay's bike. There are photos posted with Praful's (stock lights) and Pranay's P220's side by side. Praful's lights felt like Night Lamp in front of Pranay's lights.

                        Hand over a letter to your neighbors:

                        Your kid blades my Bike's Seat - Rs 1500
                        Your kid blades my Bike's Seat again - Rs 2000
                        I gift your kid a chocolate box - Rs 300
                        Your Kid repeats the mischief - Rs 3000
                        ...
                        ...
                        If he still doesn't learn to behave, I'll have to teach him manners - Priceless. For everything else you can use your Master Card to pay me. I ACCEPT CARDS.

                            My bike has the same problem too even after having recommended tyre pressure. So you are not alone
