  • Need help with idling issues in my RTR 160

    The bike has done 60k kms, done regular maintenance since purchase (2011).

    At idle, the rpm needle isn't stable, engine too has a different humm, I have tried fuel mixture changing through tutorials but dint help.

    When bike is in excess of 6k rpm the needle is badly vibrating and also engine vibration increases, I have recently serviced the bike and changed the oil (motul 3100 20w50)

    Is it the valve settings that I need to check or the fuel mixture ?

      I dont think that 20W50 is the right oil for the bike. The fcatory recommended is 10W30 i guess.

      Changing the Oil affects the Engine performance by a great margin.

      Shift back to TVS Tru4T 10W30 oil and check again
