  • Pulsar 220F

    hey guys
    i have my P220F idle for almost a month.
    what care should i take when i crank it again?
    i mean the cleaning of filters/ carb or anything else?
    should i check for battery charge?

    secondly, done 20k on odo, the rear tyre all worn out..
    i wish to change it to a new one, am confused in between MRF VYDE and CEAT
    which one is better?

    also, how do i search if this issue has been targeted before on xBHP?
    how do i form a new post?

    please help me..!!

      Just turn on the ignition, push the starter button... thats it... it should start easily. unless you kept the air filter removed or use dirty grade fuel, no extra precautions are really required.. maybe you can ride to the nearest showroom and just get your bike serviced.. thats it!

      i mean the cleaning of filters/ carb or anything else?
      not required
      should i check for battery charge?
      not required, if the electric starter does not work, you need to jump start the bike / push start it and ride to the nearest service center.. if if the battery is low, you cant do anything about it except for trickle charging it at home.

        Now the question is:

        1) How to do it?

        2) Where will I get the material?

        Thanks.

        P.S: AFAIK, radium stickers will not help because it may peel off if the jacket is washed.
        Good one..Yes there is a solution.

        1) Use a iron patch. The bridgestone one which i have and the shell too are iron patches...You dont need to stitch them...Just place the patch on the jacket, cover it from top with a newspaper and then roll the iron for a minute or so...Dont keep it on that patch continuously, keep moving it.

        2) These patches are available in Funkys, camp. In front of marzorin ice cream....I think they have light reflective designs too. Cost is around 50 to 200rs depending on the size and design.... They have those big patches too which cover the entire back costing around 300 to 400rs...Check out that shop you will get a good variety..(Pls dont see the funkys shop which is in front of ICC trade tower, thats a duplicate store selling for double the cost, the original shop is in camp only and no where else).

        Hope this helps.

          • Hey Sumit, why not to buy a reflective overcoat? Much better than stitching & ironing, since in both the cases the patch will wear out fast and coat will provide better visibility in day time too.

                Not a bad idea... A reflective overcoat (something like a traffic cop) will definitely help for night rides. Thanks Abhi.

                    @Eshaan, Sumit FYI these reflective overcoats are actually called 'High Visibility Jackets'
                    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                    • @ sumit- Astgar jackets have a good reflective piping man stitched and fitted in all directions, so at night time visibility is perfect for other drivers.

                      Are you planning stickers to be a chick magnet than i you can go ahead with any idea you like.

                          Sumit had clearly mentioned that there is no reflective material on the jacket at all. Do you know his jacket better than him?
