Buddy, that looks like car oil. I would say get rid of it ASAP. The bike might feel smooth, but it wont revv freely.

Yep, did it last night, back to Power1.

I had a fall on my bike while doing a wheelie. After that fall something happened and cannot be found out. When the bike gets warm and i speed it over 7000 rpm there is a very harsh vibration no one is able to figure it out and it feels very irritating. The vibrations were like slowly getting lesser day by day but after the free service it is vibrating even more and bike has lost its low end performance.

Guys,


Is anyone owning a 07 RTR having trouble with the forks??

Of late the forks get loosened up frequently and could hear the thak tahk sound whenever i go over a pothole or under hard braking.

It stays good only for abt 10-20kms after i get it fixed. SVC guys say this problem is common in all 07 RTR's!

Is anyone facing the same problem?

I have a 07 RTR but didnt face any such issues..... check for the forks and the headlight fairing.... usually the sound comes from the headlight which is loosely mounted.... + RTR has a liking to lose out screws and bolts.....

check if you lost tooth in your sprocket.... or if the chain has got a bit loosened up...
where do you feel the vibes now, on your handle bar or footrest... just check the above to points and tighten up the foot rest they will help reduce the vibes..

@Pundrick
The Mobil1 oil u've got is a Car Oil... It is JASO MB certified. It is really slippery and hence the smoothness but the clutch slips too...

@Satish
Check of the forks too would be changed for you

onlinesatish

Ohhh.....i'd love that

Got the fork tighten again today! i reported this to the head mech. He himself tighten it now and asked me to observe it for a couple of days. If it gets loosened up again then there might be some problem with the balls(for some filthy minds - i meant the iron balls) might have got damaged. If its so then he'll repair it during the service!

P.s - Kiran commercials SVC is starting night shift(till 11pm) to service bikes


And KP list of things that were changed in last service!

1. Speedo assembly....Odo reads 0 kms again
2. Side stand
3. Disc pads
4. Rear shocker(have no idea why the changed it)
5. New rear tyre(which was changed again 2 weeks back)
6. Drum rubbers
7. Rear brake shoes
8. Engine oil and filter.

and lots more things in the engine which they did'nt reavel.

Out of the list i was only charged for the Brake shoes and disc pads

I had a real bad experience with Motul 3000 4T in my RTR!

Satish, have been following your bike's issues and parts replacement since quite sometime(since you started the issue in orkut long time ago) in both xbhp and orkut. I dont understand why are you still sticking with this bike, either file a case agianst TVS or sell this lemon off.

It seems you like going to svc center everytime and gets parts replaced as if it doesnt matter, remember the warranty is just for 2 years.

@setu

As far as am concern, None of the problems i see are not major. It might seem like a big issue when i post them. But they are actually not. Its just coz i want everything to be perfect! But the svc guys just dont find enough time and keep postponding the work on my bikes.

For instance Speedo was changed coz of the RPM meter problem......i have seen this problem i lot of RTR personally but non bother to take to the SVC. And this is my 3rd memter and i have seen the same problem crop up even today. This well might be a design flaw!

I have no idea why they changed the rear shockers....when asked they just told me they hear some noise from it!

Disc pad coz it was worn out! and side stands coz it was getting in the way of the gear rods. Oil was changed freely coz i did'nt carry enough money while taking the delivery....it was out of curtosey!

I can ride my bike forgetting all this and am sure each one of us have these problems in our bikes but we just dont notice them!....but i wanted it to be perfect thats why!

And rear tyre was changed coz of wobbling but the tyre which they fitted was a metro tyre which sucked they again changed to the TVS but it was damaged which we both failed to notice. So i got it changed last week.


but anyways am getting rid of my bike by feb and getting a new one!
