Hey i'l check with my service center about that part tomm and ship it to you guys if its available...Mumbai is pretty well stocked as such but last week when I went to as for the Front Alloy Wheel they said it needs to be ordered and they have been waiting for 2 weeks now for parts because some other guy totaled his bike and needed stuff too.

@Sarban&Adises: Thanks for helping out with this part. I seem more bothered about it than my friend, but I guess that's what friendship is all about!
Sarban, I always believe you should feel one with the bike. I feel that way with my R15, thats why I bought it. If you really like the RTR, I suggest you go in for it.
Quench my thirst with gasoline!

The next time he will go and rip a Karizma or a P220. Guess what he would say after that.Originally posted by R15Rocks View Post@Sarban&Adises: Thanks for helping out with this part. I seem more bothered about it than my friend, but I guess that's what friendship is all about!

no offence brother but i am sure that the rtr guy was a bad rider or his bike wasnt properly mantainedOriginally posted by sarbanoxley View Post..and even a rtr recently i overtook him @ 120km/hr saw his face on the rear view mirror he was looking @ the bikes console and me in disbelief
.May be the guy was a bad rider may be the bike was poorly maintained i dont know.I scraped the foot pegs of the rtr on the first turn i took on the test ride now that should tell u something
The point is i feel like me and the bike are one and the same .Thats the trademark of the RTR period.

The RTR will leave the CBZ-X far away on the highway. May be there's not much difference in top speed (again, with RTR on the higher side) but the bike sure reaches that speed much faster than the CBZ-X.Originally posted by Raccoon View PostSo the top speed of the RTR is about the same as the CBZ-X? Thats assuming that their speedos are accurate or the magnitude of the error is the same, of course.
But does it have the stability of the CBZ-x? I doubt it!
Anybody knows the top speed of the ZMA??

Guys, my experience says that riding sporty stance bikes is a little more easier on the highway than in the city traffic. For such bikes you have to get your stance right and cannot sit straight with your elbows locked and weight on handlebars.
Once you get the right stance, on a Highway you have far far less reasons to get off that but in City traffic with continuous flicking, braking, putting legs down, stopping, etc... you cannot maintain that good posture and will soon feel the discomfort.
I'm telling this with experience of riding the RTR and R15 for sporty positioned bikes and quite a lot of commuterish bikes.

my so called hard braking solution doesn't work anymore and I don't even want to think the solution is replacing the rear wheel
Originally posted by Raccoon View Post^^^Yup, stiff back is right!! My CBZ-X has always given me an aching back on long rides... but strangely, not everyone seems to experience this.Err more than the bike....I guess you need to change urself!Originally posted by R15Rocks View PostIMO ANY bike would give a stiff back after 3 hours of continuous riding!

You must exercise a bit, especially the back and shoulder to take the strain of long rides. And you must take breaks whenever possible!
IMO, thats all upto your personal preference.
PS: I am not preaching what I practice
....I usually don't do either of the above on long hauls!

Right Praful!! Whatever the bike you need to take gaps between and do move the joints inbetween. Even it is applicable for cars too.

+1 .. i pity the guy who picks that RTROriginally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostAnd I still do not understand how the service guy accepted that 50 bucks and gave the new bike to you and allowed you to ride for 30 km ripping all the way. Poor soul who has bought that bike.
When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)
