    anyways on the other side my 180abs is nearing its 40k mark on odo. not much problems till now apart from the seemingly loss of bite in the brakes even after new pads; guess a complete drain and clean is necessary.





    tried changing the color of the body to red but DIY wrapping kind of went the wrong way and messed the whole thing up.


    p.s. back to old stock look
    Nice. Paint the rear wheel red, if you love Red. Why is the front mudguard looking so bland? You took out the Decals or is it the camera angle?

        Anyone tried the Suzuki 10w40 oil by motul? Thinking of trying it during next oil change. Costs 290bucks for a litre.

            With the price specified, it got to be mineral oil.

                  No it will not affect the engine. But it can effect the stand itself, though I doubt one day on stand will be a problem. Your bike is FI right? If so no worries about fuel leaks or engine flooding either.
                  As for the centre stand, it should have a small rod protruding from it. Put your weight on it (step on it and push down) while pulling on the grab rail.

                    [MENTION=73995]srinath2494[/MENTION] : Nothing will happen. Neither to engine nor to stand.
                    [MENTION=72198]Balgi[/MENTION] : RTRs are carb. And then also fuel wont leak until and unless the tank is filled upto the brim.

                      in the specs on web it was given that it is something like digitial spark ignition in the fuelling section. i thought it was a FI engine. but in the manual it was given carburetor .

                      i had a nightmare using the centre stand. due to rain, the whole place was wet and when i tried pulling it with the grab rail and handle i almost slipped it to the other side :P the bike felt real heavy :P on the dry to i tend to slip it to the other side :P i cant get the technique yet

                      what about the engine oil settling to one side due to side stand? thats what my friend told me. but still, until i get the ease on the centre stand, can i use the side stand for long hours? like over night?

                        Yeah, that will be taken care of by the oil circulation system of the engine so don't worry nothing's gonna happen to your new babe.
                        Also you can just push down hard on the rod attached to the side stand while tugging on the handle and pulling on the grab rail. Remember to do this as if trying to lift the rear up a bit. I used the centre stand on a bullet on a slippery surface in the rain, the rtr should be cake in comparison.

                            All b.s regarding oil. I have seldom kept my bike on centre stand in these 4 years (only if I dont have saddle bags). And my bike is doing great

                              [MENTION=73995]srinath2494[/MENTION] congrats for you new ride. Many new bikes in market comes without the option of main stand, so I don't think it will damage any thing. My friend's karizma has never been on main stand for past 5 years & is still going strong.
