I need DTS-FI Not DTS-I

Why? Can you explain?

Why? Can you explain?

I already have disco 135cc Dts-i, so mostly i'll roam in & around city(not a touring bug ) IF any problem occars i call the PBK ppl so that i might get some help from them

ya that explains your capability to maintain a dts-fi but why do you require a fi? better low end torque? what about the fi jerks you get in slow speed?

Jerks? What jerks?

[rahuldevnath]

Jerks? What jerks?

compared to carb fi, sometimes i have experienced sudden jer/acceleration when you try to negotiate slow moving traffic, in other words power control is difficult at extreme slow speeds, that is in contrast to carb.

Day before yesterday i took the test ride both bikes,were i can sense that the DTS-I is lacking little low end torque compared to DTS-FI.So i'll favor to DTS-FI any time who uses for city & little time touring & people who consider the touring as a thrillness i'll recommend the DTS-I(if some one taking it for a tour & send the result)

I don't think so sir,if a person uses his/her bike/scoot it's all about how they wrist the right hand.If they treat as a machine it will behave as a machine,if they treat as somthing else it WILL behave like a different charecter(many ppl would know what i am sayin)

Praful to the rescue i think you don't face any issue right ?

I got it, the throttle is actually twitchy...at slow speed slight twist means the bike jerks ahead. Thats a prob while offroading in loose gravel.

Also the reason for that to happen is the sudden burst of torque the moment you open the throttle. Something that can be controlled with proper use of the clutch!

Rescue?
Dude do you have some problem comprehending what people are writing here...?

well my observations are based on rtr and 220 fi both feel the same jerky way to me at extremely slow speed. its the lag in efi compared 2 manual system in carb but not exactly an issue.

exactly, though its not at all a issue but doesnt happen in carb bike though

[santoosh]

from what i no , it actually needs 2 be the other way round , jerky on a carb n linear on an fi.
been la tht with the bikes iv ridden

I went ta ramkoti today..
asked em how they'l install H4 id for p220,
though it doesn support(supports H7)..
they said "" no alteration, nothin, battery won drain, we will install it in high beam place"""..

But if you've noticed with the 220FI, the throttle is a lil what I would call - "snatchy". I guess thats just a trait, nothing to do with Fi/carb.

[rahuldevnath]

that trait is pecular to fi, both rtr and 220 atleast have it, on other hand even if you ride the carbed GT250, controlling the throtle is much smoother.

Booked my 220 today..
took a test ride.

engine : very much refined compared to my P150.
Gears : very smooth. but finding neutral was difficult. may be because, i'm never used to 1 down, 4 up method.
pickup : amazing in each and every gear.
I was able to travel at 20kmph even in 4th gear with pillon without jerks.
mileage : 35-40 as said by showroom guy..
price : still not confirmed.

Vibration : NIL

now, i am confused with color selection. booked RED. still confused whether to go for that or not.
