Hi guys....i got my M3nac3....(RTR 180) on 7th July 2009.
Its been a long month since then as i got my RTO number after 9 days of the delivery of the bike....since then things have been pretty well between me and my bike....and today it was finally the time for her for the first servicing......

i was really happy when i took my bike to the Chatrapati TVS service centre the guy first thought it was a 160 but then after a closer inspection he was amazed to see the 180.He said this is the first 180 in pUne that we are going to do servicing of...!!
and i even told the guy that i want the rear fendar cap to be removed......at first he did nto understand and said no we dont do modifications here......go sumwhere else.....but then i showd him the built-in feature of the 180.....of the removable rear mud flap......i even showed him the mannual in which it was explained how to remove it.....he then said ok....but then was a little adamant to remove it as it would not be advisable to do so in the rains......but then i said to him that i wanted to click some pics.....and then i would agian come to fit the mud flap.....

i was really happy......as i reached the service station....at arnd 9am....i wud get the bike mostly tomo....but if its done i wud get it 2day evening....

i have clicked the pics of the bike when it was at the service station....
would post the pics of the bike before and after servicing..... pretty soon.......

Hoping the bike wud be more smooth and engine wud open up.....
still i have planned to keep the bike below 55km/hr till 1k kms.....

@ cosplay - i Would advice to take it easy and dont use this moto man method .

WHat i woula suggest is -
1)Ride the first 160 km within 4k rpm and keep varying Rpms at all times and dont ride at constant speed even for a minute .No hard aceleration . warm up engine 10-15 seconds before riding .

change Oil and filter [Tvs mineral oil] ,ul see metal particles in drained oil and filter

2)Ride within 4k rpms and vary rpms but also give short bursts upto 70 when engine warm enough .continue till 600 Kms and get 1st service .

3) Now ride till 6k rpm till 100 kms with bursts upto 90-100 till 1500 Kms. run-in done

Since i was not willing to follow motoman before 1st servicing....i would try it now.......or shud i..??

has any1 tried it on their new bikes...???

if yes give me the link to that thread.........
and 1 more Q is it for Indian Bikes........????????????

err, that's not really a warm up. some people take that long to put it in 1st and release the clutch after starting the bike.

that's not warm up man....
it takes 1 and a half mins for oil to reach the "head"...

the RTR takes atleast 5kms to warm up....
dont ever REV the hell outta ur engine before warming it up...

drive in the first 3 gears for the first 5kms to make engine reach it's optimun performance temp and dont exceed 5000RPM while doin so...

after that see that tacho goin to 10500 at evryshifts(power flow stops after that)

ride under 4000RPM till the first serv and under 5000RPM till 1000 kms and short bursts to 6000 are ok till 1000...

the moment you'll see 1000 in ur ODO hit the highway warm up the bike and rev the hell outta it....

now that's simple...
