Oh come on now guys, we actually dragged all these bikes together, though due to a lot of errors in riding we were not able to come to any conclusive results, i would still say that an R15 would whup all the others if ridden by a expert, the consolation here is that a 200 can hold out a ZMA behind it, till ZMA's top-end catches up, after that the 200 will be left to look at the ZMA as well as the 220 inching away slowly from you, i've experienced this more than i need and this is the sad truth

watever 200 rocks

atleast it gives 225 cc zma a gr8 fight atleast

ROTFL. We'll try rainbow color soon! :P

How good a bike is depends not alone on the bike, but the conditions and the rider riding it. Unless the other two factors are equal, it's not possible to compare the bikes to say which one is better. I've smoked ZMAs, even being a pretty lousy rider, and I've also been smoked pretty badly by them. Likewise with 220s. You can't really come to a verdict about this.

Like ankit said, we bought 200s for our own purpose, because it has a class of its own - for better or worse. I've bought it and I'm sticking with it.

^^ Well then let's just lay the 200 superiority topic to rest then, as we all agree that we are more than satisfied with what 200 has offered us

,

The repairs on my 200 had begun and i've replaced the following
1. Front left shroud (blue) Labour: Rs.0/-
2. Front fender (blue) Labour: Rs.20/-
3. Brake pads - Labour: Rs.30/-
I replaced all the above parts at a local mech. nearby my house, and total labour was just Rs.50/-!! whereas in PBK, they charge Rs.75/- just to change the disc pads alone

! and the only compromise is the fact that in PBK, it's air-conditioned and they use a motorized torque wrench

The parts and repairs yet to be replaced and done on the bike..........
1. The handlebar
2. Front fairing (Headlamp shroud)
3. Headlamp aligning (Currently, my low is the new hi-beam and hi beam can be used to direct planes for their landings

)

Good to know that the repair work has finally begun. After it is done, post a pic of your 'revamped' 200, here..

Well in that case what i can suggest you is that.. Dude.. try seeing from the side..
there would be a screw take a 8number key and unscrew it,and then bend down it to your need...it would ajust your bike's headlight beam..acording to your needs.. this is a simple process and even u can do it at home..

exactly my point, bro.

P.S:- A P200 is an awesome bike

how often its better to change the engine oil? every 2k kms ? i have run 2.5k kms had changed at 620 kms

**torque_ankur** · 10-07-2008, 05:09 PM

@CJ it depends on the oil type if it is synthetic oil then interval of changing oil is more which is about 5k-6k KM and if it is a normal oil one should change at around 2.5k-3k KM

I think as far as everyday practicality is concerned,you wont find a ZMA,R15 and the P220 chasing you down with you on your P200 all in the same place.
So I think we dont need to worry on that front.

P.S. Damn that comparison.

Finally. Someone decides to take a sensible decision.

Anyone know if I can change my bike's oil to something better than what they offer at PBK? I don't mind how heavy it is on the pocket, but I need to be able to get it in Chennai. Nasreen, bro, I'm looking at you for an answer since you know Chennai best.

Or if there's anyone else too, please help me out!

**EL LOCO DIABLO** · 10-08-2008, 09:18 AM

^^ As i've said numerous times before both here as well as to people, AFAIK Motul is the best .period. and you have a choice of........

1. Motul 3000 4T (Mineral) Cost: Rs. 150~250/- Mileage: 2500~3000kms
2. Motul 5100 T (Semi Synth) Cost: Rs. 300/- Mileage: 3000~4000kms
3. Motul 300V (Full Synth) Cost: Rs. 600/- Mileage: 4500~5500kms

I've had 300V which ran upto 5091kms with still some juice left in it and am currently running on 5100 T which has run 1894kms and will be good for another 2000kms, you can buy these Motul products at the warehouse located at Ramapuram, located on the rightside at the intersection that comes after Miot hospitals (while coming towards Porur from Kathipara) the road itself takes a left and a right, as soon as you exit the right curve the warehouse is on your left (It's got a big board, so you can't possibly miss it), there the prices are Rs.50/- lesser than in any other outlets (which is the price i've quoted above), though i'm not quite sure about the price of 3000 4T

**Aryan** · 10-08-2008, 09:45 AM

@El Loco: Thanks for that post regarding Motul products. I have just been looking out for something like this. 2500+kms. on the odo, I now think of either putting in the Valvoline 4T or the Motul 5100T.

**EL LOCO DIABLO** · 10-08-2008, 10:23 AM

^^ As someone had told me earlier, when going for a change in the engine oil it's always best to take it one step at a time, change from the default mineral brand to your favoured one (In this case from Servo/Castrol to Motul/Valvoline), then go in for the Semi-Synth (5100 T) at the next oil-change and then switching to Full-Synth (300V) at the next, also the Semi and Full Synth oils are 15W50 rather than 20W50 but that is nothing to worry about (though i don't know exactly why)
