    Yeah TVS tried some matte colors already on NTorq with yellow,red and few colors but the matte red wasn't much better .

    This bright red is very good and will be definitely an eyecatcher !!

    I'm too going with RACING RED color.

      This is the speedo console of the 200 4v.

      The N gear you see on the left side is the gear position indicator. It is present in 200 4v and 160 4v FI.

      The small led on the top right corner of the console is the shift light. It is present in all 160 4v and 200 4v.

          I'd not suggest a tyre upgrade. 140/60 or 140/70 tyres will be disproportionate and fitting them on narrower rims won't be a good idea.
          Maybe i was not clear on my question previously I wanted to know if I get rear drum model and later upsize to 130 cross section tyres if the rim size is the same.

            Drum variant – 110/80 tyres on 2.5" rims
            Disc variant – 130/70 tyres on 3.5" rims

            You can fit the 130/70 tyres on 2.5" rims but it is not recommended

              The speedo of the RTR 4v models is connected to the rear wheel. Changing the size will screw up the speedo and more importantly the odo readings.

                Read the post about the console word by word once again.
                Anyhow again you're mentioning it as gear shift indicator !!

                It's actually RPM rev limiter (gear indicator shouldn't be confused with rev limiter) .we can set the rpm limit and it will notify us when we reach the prescribed limit !

                  It is indeed the gear shift indicator. RPM rev limiter is what that cuts the revs once it goes beyond a particular RPM. The light there is called a shift indicator or gear shift indicator or RPM limit indicator but never as REV LIMITER. The shift light can be even set to whatever RPM you want but the rev limiter is factory set and cannot be modified (unless you fiddle with the carburetor or the ECU which voids the warranty).

                  Gear indicator or gear position indicator is something that shows the current gear as N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

                  For perspective, all cars, bikes and scooters get rev limiters. Domimar 400 has a rev limiter and a gear shift indicator but not gear position indicator. The RTR 200 has a rev limiter, gear shift indicator and a gear postion indicator.

                  Hope this makes things clear.

                          Yeah. That reply was about the shift light; not gear position indicator.
