Re: Help needed 'not' what but 'from where'

[MENTION=11962]hyper[/MENTION]- Yeah, I guess so. But I thought it was an entirely different issue,so didn't feel like bumping up an old thread, especially where I was asking which bike to go for. To quote a part of your sig, lets just "move on"
[MENTION=7815]anuj[/MENTION] bhai- that's a pretty exhaustive piece of info, kudos! But, I got an offer to buy a 2013 July P220 for 70k, 5k done (something's fishy,right?) and another 2012 for 60 something. And I just something right now, 2011->2012, the price of 220 gets pretty steap, doesn't it? 30k more..any idea why?

Re: Help needed 'not' what but 'from where'

That list had 2 hours daily of mine for 3 months, and I rejected about 500+ pulsar bikes,and you can rely on a bikers info about bikes.
Yes as 2012 pulsar 220 was like 8-10 months old only in.July 2013 and had done only 2000-4000kms.
Nothing fishy in your July 2013 p220 ,see my example, I bought 200ns on 12 July 2013, and my bike has done only 2500 kms, although I ride daily ( take her to spin and speed bursts) .so nothing fishy in that low kms.
And thanks for pointing out, remembering error in those prices, anyways corrected

Re: Help needed 'not' what but 'from where'

When buying a second hand bike? No second thoughts, yes i would walk away. The money's at stake mate. Engine oil is a very important critera, that too for a P220. Using any other grade than a xW50 completely screws the engine in the long run.

There are n number of mechanics who have no idea about the grade of the oil to be used for 220 engines.
Ask anyone and they would say : "Castrol oil daldo" but AFAIK castrol doesn't have a W50 grade oil, not that i have come across. I have seen people driving 6000kms+ on a Bajaj DTSi oil, as its written on the Bottle that its life is 10000kms. Where as the actual life is just 1500-2000kms. And not changing the oil at the correct intervals, its like slowly killing the bike.
And all this harsh treatment to a non-refined (like the pulsar) engine, and expecting it to run beyond 40k kms?!
I am not talking about a commuter bike like splendor, where you just fill petrol and make it run. All i am saying is that the Owner should atleast be knowing the engine oil used for a performance bike like 220.

Just my 2 cents.
