    It grips very well now, cornering is fun now and not much difference in performance. I managed a top speed of 126 kmph( speedo indicated).

        Have any of you faced overheating of Ur respective bikes? have you felt waves of heat near Ur legs while riding in moderate traffic?

            @Abishek94 : It does heat up, but after my 1200km experience on a supersports, the heat from our bikes is "Nothing" hehehehehe

              Is it true that the engine of the newer version rtr runs cooler than the previous version as claimed by tvs?

                After bleeding and lubrication the braking is top notch now!

                  Nope if you consider the cowl stuff but they did tweak the engine which had some cases of overheating due to either faulty engine or break-in but other than that, engine temps mostly seem either identical or 10 degrees hotter

                    Btw, I replaced the rear number plate illuminating lamp with the white led ones which come with the d200! (consumes lesser power than the normal bulbs and the bluish white light looks better )

                            Fibre parts? Did you change the plastic around the speedometer? The one with the faux carbon fibre finish?
                            If yes then how much does it cost?

                                I have two tyres in mind.

                                Perilli MT75(use S rated not P rated) S rated tyres are rated for use upto 180km/hr .
                                MICHELIN Pilot Sporty
                                [MENTION=11216]Durvesh[/MENTION], thank you for replying.. i can see Michelin Pilot Sporty with a 120/80-17" at findTyre - motorcycle.michelin.in. Are these soft compounds?

                                And would 120 be a direct fit for RTR 180? Another tyre which I saw recently was MRF Zapper Vyde, but I'm not sure if its a soft compound and if it would be a direct fit for RTR 180.

                                Thank you,
