1)in 2ng gear at around 3k rpm if i tried to maintain throttle at that mark..it just losing breath like hiccups(also the engine feels hard and unrefined) but you will not notice while quick throttle(its smooth and crunchy).

Even my brother's bike behaves like that.Dont know the exact reason.

2)i experienced false gearshift 4-5 times and sometimes suudenly neutral between 3rd and 4th gear.But its not too often gears r not having any problem.Only problem is with the ankle is paining when frequent gear shift is done.

Hmm..One more false gearshift issue.Ask the svc ppl to check the clucth cable play

3)I have getting a decent mileage of 45+(average)....max was 50 and least was 42(hard acceleration).

Cool

4)the handle bar when both hands are releaved...its slightly vibrates(shakes in horizantal direction)...is wheel alignment is OK?

Check the bearings inside the steering cone.They might have less grease in them.

5)suspension r bit hard(i know its for racing characterstics) but still i could have been better if they were smooth.

Try a softer setting

Else as i already said i am pride owner of white rtr180....and there i am.
please suggest me which engine oil should i use for first service....they r recommending tvs tru4....and also suggest the further run in instructions for 500-1000kms.
thank you all.

finally finished with all the formalities and pooja and finally woke up tdy morn and did a thorough chk up on her..

few bad things i noticed were..
1)silencer and a few body parts were a lil scratched during transportation
2)bar-end weight was loose(left one) fear that it may fall off
3)the rubber band beneath the seat was missing (one used to fix the tools)
4)saree guard paint already started to peel off.. poor quality
5)pillion left foot rest was defective..wasnt locking

and guys i want ur say on the last one.. do any of u have a gap in between while closing the pillion footrest to the closed position..? is doesn't close fully right..?(maybe due to the rubber on it)
