Ah nice info there... Let me disconnect the yellow one

SVC covered the cost (1260 INR) under warranty. Warranty expires this 27th. Phew, that was close

They just charged for the Gasket Magneto Cover (M1080320). Total invoice amount 48 INR.

Good to know about it.Still the one way clutch assembly cost just 1260 bucks?What all parts were changed?

Stopping distance at any speed also is been reduced because of the confidence IRC rubber is providing

Welcome back Buddy!Ahh..Enough of the IRC's,MRFs and TVS's,wont you post your Suzuki air filter experience here?!

Lets put an end to the tyre controversy thingy guys.No ones forcing you to buy MRF's or Pirelli's or for that matter TVS's

!Every now and then a topic starter asks a few queries about the tyres suitable for his bike and BOOM!The original question is left behind and people start pouring their views about their 'respective' tyres.

I think this is the most controversial topic on the whole thread!
Peace.

But it still doesnt work out. Any idea what might be wrong.The rear disc oil is full.

Its a bit difficult to understand the above lines,can you please elaborate more on this?

A few possibilities..
1)The disc pads might not be properly held in the caliper
2)The disc pads might have worn out
3)There might be air in the brake system
Rear disc oil full-you mean the brake fluid reservoir?The fluid level must be be between minimum & maximum for the correct functioning of the rubber diaphragm inside the reservoir.

Same here. Facing same issue (?) on my RTR160 RD.

I've read everywhere that the biting of the RD is much lesser than the front one. Maybe that's the reason.

Can anyone confirm whether this behavior is normal or there's something I'm missing?

Thanks Bro.
Yes, that's what i've come to know. I saw this amount on their job card too.
The service spare invoice showed only Gasket Magneto Cover (they said it's the packing) which costed 48 INR.

Hey guys can anyone tell me what is the braking distance figure of 60kmph-0kmph for apache RTR 180 standard version and the apache rtr 180 ABS version?

I tried searching it on the net but could not find anything.

Don't really know the exact time for 60 to 0 stoppage time for ABS version but i do know it also stops in a heartbeat!!! the stoping distance i guess is about 10 m i guess...not sure though...but it must be less than that!!!

PS: I am not exaggerating

Thanks for the reply's bro's... i was just trying to compare our steeds braking distance with P200NS... it has a breaking distance of 16.xx meters from 60kmph-0kmph

Hi Guys,

Good to see so many new RTR owners. Have been offline and thus Off bike for quite some time.
I remember Lijok had some hiccups with this bike after DC conversion.
I am also experiencing heavy jerks (engine switches off and then comes back) above 8k rpm. SVC adjusted CO setting and checked TPS too. They say TCI unit will have to be checked. What could be the problem?

Rtrlover83 · 02-11-2012, 05:36 PM

Update:
Now using Shell Advance Ultra 10W40 (700 INR after discount from my dealer). The Best oil i've used till date on my RTR

Engine smoothness and response is just amazing. And this one protects the engine internals to the max AFAIK.
Only drawback i see is that the level is dropping slightly after doing close to 500km. Need to buy a pack for topping up purpose ASAP.

P.S. Any one (especially new owners) who like to switch to this one Must wait at least 7000km as this is a full synthetic engine oil.

Ride Safe.
