          uff! I am envy . > How you adjust yourself for both?

          Do you love riding RTR after riding CBR for 500 km ? Out of Curiosity

          Or you use RTR just for City ?

              Let me tell you a secret, after riding the RTR for more than 50k kms, no other bike is as involving as the RTR(except duke ofcource). Had I bought a Duke 390, would have sold my RTR. But I am waiting for the Bajaj ASC issues to be sorted out before I buy it. More over the svc is 30 kms from my home. And CBR is damn smooth, great component quality. But only fun on highways. Strict no for city. RTR still rules in cities. If you ask me, I would recomend you D390 over others as the best upgrade from RTR. Adarsh has taken the right decision.

                    I know its a bit off topic, but my second bike was rtr 160 FI, it was awesome, until FI started messing up. Then I drove 180 and found that with greater power comes greater vibrations

                    Did anyone else notice that? IMHO the company messed it up a bit with the 180.

                    so I ended up with a different bike now...

                      IIRC, RTR FI was smoother than the carbed ones. Vibes in the RTRs vary from bike to bike I have a 160 carb, I found some 180s which had lesser vibes than mine and some had more vibes. Even among 160s, I have found this difference. I think it all boils down to the oil used, run in technique, how lucky you are etc. One thing's for sure, no RTR is vibe free

                        I was much worried about vibes until i bought the RTR and it was a concern which was stopping me from buying it. Now, I love the vibes

                          yes an ill Maintained RTR can kill you with its vibs. Had faced the issue at around 45K kms odo. But head cleaning/decarb solved the issue. Other than that, never faced the unbearable vibes. The problem lies with the stupid ASC. They never know the cause of anything. Luckily, I had a great mech, who took care of my bike.

                            Dear Friends,
                            Yesterday, my new RTR 180 reached my homely parking spot where my Hero Honda Splendor once stood
                            The ride from the showroom to my residence, in the Mumbai traffic, didn't allow me to exercise the full potential of the bike. Which brings me to this:Should I run in the machine as per the manual? Or should I ride hard? ( Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power )

                              Run it in as per the manual. Why take the risk?

                              • K&n for apache rtr 180

                                Hello all,
                                As my bike is about to complete 2 years and 6500km I am planning to get a k&n filter installed. Can you guys please tell me the pros and cons of using it. I dont want to upjet the carb. Just that being a bit childish I like the voice note a k&n gives Can you also throw some light on the benefits of k&n from the stock filter without upjetting the carb. Thanks
