Also the service interval is 5000 km which is real bad for the bike.Bajaj did this by increasing the oil life to 10,000km.
I think the bike should be serviced every 2500-3000 kms .I suggest all new 180users to do so. The older 180s(ug4 itself) had service interval of 2500kms.

wow... i've had a P18OUGIII since December 2OO6.

i've never really "calculated" the mileage on it...
but as far as i can tell i've never managed getting more than 30 kmpl.

iThink i need to try riding below 6K RPM.

I get my bike serviced every 1200-1500kms. No problems in that. Though I am surprised to see the 5K kms service interval of the bike.

You own a 180 aka Ninja. So, the mileage @ 30kmpl is good.

same here... 3.5 years down the line and i still service my bike every 1200kms.

it does make a big difference.

well actually i got 30 kmpl before January this year... ie: before i went lime green.

mileage hasn't really changed since then.

it's prolly got more to do with me changing gears at high RPMs.

it's what the P18O is all about.

Hi there... glad do be among P180 owners... i myself own a blue P180 UG3 - 2008 model. love my bike

. . . i just recently happen to replace my rear tyre... MRF VYDE 120-80 17". on doing so i've realized that the bike handles slightly different from before. i feel there is a compromise in the grip of the front wheel. while entering corners there is an issue regarding the balance. i feel is a dip too suddenly i might loose balance slip and fall. my opinion is to change to wider front tyres as well... but the forks and mudguard don't allow for this option. i'm kinda in a dilemma at the moment. pls share your views.

Welcome...
about your tyre thing : I think UG3 has squire type tyre and UG4 has roundish so maybe difference is there...anyway why didn't you change front tyre as well?

**lockhrt999** · 09-07-2010, 12:31 AM

Look how dirty my bike has become...I have really given up on cleaning

...one more thing I have learned so far that if I try to clean this dirty with dry cloth the paint and polish are gonna suffer a lot...car shampooing is must....waiting for rain to stop

**xionite** · 09-07-2010, 02:04 AM

^^^ yikes!

well.. the best way to ensure is to pressure wash (water only) the bike...

if u ask on of the guys at a bike-wash to just spray down the painted parts of ur bike with water...

he'll charge u 10 bucks or so.

and then u can do the rest urself... shampoo, bubble bath et all.

Yes my previous tyres where square compared to the present rounded ones (VYDE 120-80 17")... i did plan on changing my front tyre as well but as i mentioned... i did not foresee the problem with the forks and mudguard not being able to house a wider series of tyre... apparently the present stock tyre (2.75 - 17" zapper fs) fits just right anything wider will be in contact with the mudguard .

also i've noticed the front forks of the P180 is smaller compared to the P200 or 220... is this true or just my imagination?
i would prefer not to change my forks just yet... if there is a possibility of fitting slightly wider front tyres by just replacing the mudguard within a less than extravagant budget i'd be happy.

p.s. i hope u don't think i'm crazy with all this changes i'm trying to make on an already great bike... the reason is that i like to add a different sense of character to my machine... not sure how else to explain that.

@lockhrt:

The bike really needs a wash. That's really dirty. Pressure wash actually if not done properly leaves\produces more scratches on the bike.

**wingrider744** · 09-07-2010, 10:19 PM

Dirty bikes and sticky tires.

@ Lockhrt:
ur bike looks mean dude..dnt wash..black dirty bikes have looks too.
@ phantom:
i would suggest u change front tyre to R15.its rounded,and THE most grippiest tyre available here. It will fit without mods too.

**wingrider744** · 09-07-2010, 10:28 PM

U know the 'F' stickers stuck on the fairing of the 220 which denotes FASTEST INDIAN?
I just bought a pair and stuck it on the tank scoops.And.....it looks like sh*!t..
wasted 130rs..tore it off
im looking for some sticker for the scoops..any ideas?
Im thinking transformers logo.

Ah yes... The R15's 80/90-17 Zapper FY seems like a good suggestion. i need to go the showroom and see the difference to my stock 2.75 - 17 Zapper FS...

BTW i don't quite understand these 2 different measuring units... "80/90" and "2.75" how do we compare which is broader and taller...??? i mean wat is the theory behind this "2.75"...

@wingrider... regarding stickers, how about the xBhp logo stickers? i'm sure it'll look good on the scoop... or a custom sticker like... how the P200 has "OIL COOLED" but only make it "AIR COOLED" in the same font and style... At a quick glance ppl wont realize the difference.
