I own an RTR FI. The day my bike clocked 1500 kms on the odo, I decided it was time to try some speed sprints. One weekend, I rode from my Bangalore house to my Mysore House. A total distance of 156 kms covered in around 1 hour 50 mins. By the time I reached Mysore, the tappet was making a loud sound. I didn't realise it initially, but once I removed the woolen cap and helmet, I could hear the noise. Next day, I took the bike to one of my mechanics. He told I shouldnt have ridden so fast. He also advised me to switch over to Castrol Power 1. After this, the engine kind of became smooth. But still I hear the faint tappit noise. I consulted the TVS guys in Mysore and also the Castrol Zone people. They all said, that level of noise is pretty much normal. The point is, I want my engine real smooth. I don wannna hear any abnormal noise from my engine. Please advice. My bike has presently done 1850 kms.
Thank you.


, i have asked several service center guys, they said it has nothing to do with engine performance, normally tappet get loose after times, u just need to tightened it
