      servicing should be done at 2500km. PERIOD.
      Don't trust manual that much.

        when reached office, checked the manual and it says that the usable petrole in reserve is 2l. then its 68 kms run using 1 litre.
        how many kms u guys run after reserve?
        i cant believe it still now...........whats it.......


        Hey mate,getting 68kmpl is abnormal ,most likely you are blindfolded by SC: you are the one who needs to check your tuning,unless you open your throttle,everything will seem just fine,but once you open up,you'll get a taste of whats brewing inside your engine...
        all those who get 59~55 ~69~80 o.O ... get yourself to a good mech and get your carb tuned correctly...
        40~45 is what you should get on a normal balanced p180.

        and one more thing why buy p180 if you can't enjoy the raw power beneath . better to choose 100cc instead.

          yeah checked it using that method. but oil level is almost full, very small space is there in the window. is it effect my engine? or any other effects? what will do?
          In the newer lot of 180's (as you have) the service interval mentioned is 5000kms. So, you're okay to service the bike every 5000kms. No problems.

          Follow the service manual untill your free services are over and after that service the bike every 2500kms. The SC guys cannot deny you.

          If the oil level is in reality true, as you're saying than probably you have overfilled the oil.Get it leveled any local mechanic would do that.

            ceasar i think u r mistaken...because here many 180 owners were getting 50, 60. and i bought it because of their commends....if u r getting 45, then it will be according to u r riding style...it wont be the complaind of other bikes tuning...do u understand?

            40~45 is what you should get on a normal balanced p180.
            i think here also will be guys getting 55- 60, its not tuning deffect i think...even abhi is getting 55 i think.(who is dancing in just over this post.)


            and one more thing why buy p180 if you can't enjoy the raw power beneath . better to choose 100cc instead.
            what ?......do u think that the raw power only gets when mileage is low?

            poor...... look i am really enjoying my bike. its power is just awesome...
            after 2nd service my average speed is 60-65, and what a power it deliver after 4000rpm. and i am now just addicted to high speeds. but always try to push to that speeds after 3,4 kms..to allow to complete oil circulation and warm up. thats why i am getting good mileage...i have read in somewhere that good mileage is the sign of healthy engine,,,,

            anyway,,,many thanks ceasar for u r informations.....waiting for more....

            • Rear fender

              Does anybody has any idea whether the rear fender (or mud guard) can be changed with that of RTR's or any other bike.....its realy ugly and hides the rear tyre profile too.

              • @Jasmine: Hate to say it but that high mileage figures are not normal by what the majority of 180 owners have seen. I have gotten a maximum of 50 and that too was during run-in with speeds hovering around 55-60k/hr. Even now after my carb got changed, I got a similiar mileage with some sane driving but my AFR ratio was very lean.

                Almost 90% of 180 owners I've met have reported a range of mileage between 43-46. Even I got the same when my tuning was normal. Right now as well, I'm getting around 47 but thats again cause my AFR is tuned lean.

                A good measure to check AFR is to have the A.S.S. check your CO level. If it is below 1.6%, it means it is on the leaner side. A normal CO level is somewhere around 1.7-1.85% I think. Mine is currently running around 1.6.

                  lean tuning or rich tuning dont provide any good mileage.. ideal tuning gives good mileage as well as performance.

                    When the AFR is turned lean, the pilot circuit (uptil 25% throttle) mixes less fuel and more air. Most of the vehicle's pickup happens in this throttle range. How does that not make the mileage better man? An ideal mixture will ALWAYS give less mileage than a lean mixture from what I know. I am open to corrections, obviously. My knowledge is based on what I've read around here and my own experiences.

                      You can experience raw power neither when the mileage is too low nor too high..
                      You're not the only one who does warm-up every morning...!

                      i have read in somewhere that good mileage is the sign of healthy engine,,,,


                      yeah...good mileage ;not Extreme mileage.

                      anyways... enjoy your ride... EndOfDiscussion.

                        Everything could be done in this world is what I believe. So, you could also fit a RTR rear fender in a P180. It's just a case of some modifications.

                        It does, lean tuning does gives a little more mileage but only upto an extent. Ideal tuning gives optimum company specified mileage figures not BEST (although these are only the best for a normal behaving stock bike).

                        No offence! But as the 180 owners have said here getting 60+ mileage is somewhat unachievable in Indian conditions. May be you are getting it but that is a sign of something not happening in the right way. Get your carburetor checked, if it is UNTOUCHED from the day you bought it (not even tuned once also) than no need to worry ride your bike and get those figures. Yes, I too get mileage figures of 52-53kmpl, not regularly though, regular figures for me at speeds of 35-40kmph as average are 48-49kmpl. No matter howsoever I ride I donot get more than 53-54kmpl. May be that's the reason that it's hard to believe that your carburetor is rightly tuned; for me.

                        • once I got 53, but that was an exception. I get 47 constantly no matter how I drive. .
                          On highway touring where I redline the bike constantly get around 40 kmpl.

                            yeah...i can understand u r feel..i never like to hurt u ceasar...heard that ones riding style may vary the mileage figures...here is a friend of mine who has a cbz old model..mileage was 30. then went to a good mech, he said that he has to change his riding style..also he explained it with a ride in same bike. little gear changes, little breaking, ride in correct gears. after all same bike run 38 kms without any changes in bike...from that friend became changed in his ride.
                            i was just try to say this mate.. also i became very tricky in ride. also ARAI certified 60 kms i think(not sure correct it if its wrong).
                            after 2nd service my bike gives constantly 57 kms. now my father is daily drive my bike to office with my brother...this figure is from his drive. average speed 55- 65. earlier i was getting 58-62.


                            You can experience raw power neither when the mileage is too low nor too high..

                            • I'm gonna drop bike for servicing this weekend mostly in CBZ.
                              I want to know that can we fit P135's mirror on our bikes?
                              In a freak accident a splendor who ran into my bike from left back side broke RHS mirror. I then removed LHS mirror too as it was suffering from premature-ejaculation after 50 KPH . So I'm running bike without mirrors now, I feel little unsafe and naked without them.

                              Are there any good mirrors who can show comprehensive view of back (more convex)? because previous weren't that good.

                                lol on bold... BTW, you could try out the Splendour mirrors. As per my information there are joints available for fitting different sizes of mirrors in different size socket. Splendor mirrors are good at visibility and offers excellent rear view coverage, though check a Splendor having mirrors before taking final decision.
