      Gone through all the DC conversion threads.. I thought there might be something behind to explain neatly. [emoji6]

        Thanks [MENTION=75631]Mr_Many_Places[/MENTION], for your kind of usage AX7 seems to be the best bet. Mean while for past few thousand kilometres I am using a popular fuel additive 'system G' (recommended in manual). Though the usage is not regular so I can't comment on anything with confidence. Will come up with a detailed review after continuous usage.

          Guys i have a doubt,i just did a 250 km short trip and i kept the motor constatnly at above 7k rpm with ocassional surges to 9k rpm and little slowdowns to 5k rpm,mostly i was cruising at 90-100 km h,the bike was pretty stress free.yes vibes were there but not too much( lot of vibes after 8k) but i was horrfied with the mileage i got just 30 kmpl.my friend who owns a R15 v2 got 40 kmpl while riding similarly.now my question is will riding above 7k rpm reduce the mileage drastically or something wrong with my bike

            Hi pranav. Yes. It will reduce the mileage. When i ride at around 80-85 i get 40-42 & that too when it was winter. Expect this to go down in summer as the bike runs hotter. If you are using tvs oil then the mileage will be what you are getting. If you switch to motul 5100 or shell ax7 you might see a 2-3 kmpl increase. R15 has an extra gear & its liquid cooled remember. So bike is at a lower rpm than our bike. So definitly it will give more.
            For long rides its best to keep the engine at below 7k rpm for air cooled engines. Othervise what happens with pulsar engines that might happen to you.
            If your a traffic to traffic dasher then your bike has adapted to your riding style & this is what it will give no matter how easy you ride

              Thank you for your reply, I am using Shell AX7 Advance.I have seen somewhere in this forum that Crossing 8K rpm and above reduces mileage to below 35 KMPL.

                Yes if you ride at any rpm post 7k mileage will drop drastically.
                Keep the rpm below 7k rpm.
                If you want better highway performance, you can look into sproketing
                You will lose a bit of acceleration but you will see an increase in speed at any rpm.
                In simple this will help you achive 100 kmph at a lower rpm with some loss in acceleration.

                  Currently using the rtr 160 44T rear sprocket on my rtr 180. Down by 2teeth (stock is 46T).
                  100 comes up at 7k rpm now.. On stock sprocket 7k rpm would result in 94kmph. Acceleration has dipped a bit but its a good and fair trade off for highway riding.

                      Uh. Just a heads up. It's not as simple as that. Depends on so many factors. But I wouldn't say there's a drastic change riding over 7k RPM. I got a good mileage of 40kmpl, yesterday on a short ride(240km). I spent exactly 6liters( tested through reserve to reserve tank filling). I was doing a constant 80-90kmph(which comes post 7k rpm).

                      If it is hot and you're engine oil is not designed for heat, you will end up with a hot engine, needing a different AFR, which our carb wont change! Worse, if the outside is hot with no wind you have an even worse situation. If you're vehicle is running rich, that's a factor to reduce mileage. If your chain is not oiled properly, your mileage will drop(alarmingly). If your tire pressure isn't at recommended levels, mileage will drop. This is why always check your ride before every ride longer than the average office commute.
                      Don't matter what it is: Touring; Racing; Commuting. All I know is, I belong on the saddle.

                        Im running on full setup of RTR 180 on my RTR 160.
                        On stock setup at 6k rpm the speed is 78 kmph and on 180's setup speed is 81 kmph.
                        My bike is modded so i dont feel any loss in acceleration

                          Fit the rtr 160's rear sprocket only. You will get it in jc road.. Tvs svc sell it as a set (chain+ front sprocket+ rear sprocket)
                          Caution: Fitting a new sprocket onto an old chain will cause premature wear of the new sprocket. I went ahead with this on my bike as my chain sprocket set is on its way out in the next 5-6k km, so I thought I might as well experiment before the change and decide the final setup.

                            We had a member on this thread by the name of Adarsh_bk. He had done sprocketing on his RTR 180. If you look you will definitely find it.

                              I think my Tyre pressure might be the culprit.i haven't checked that in a while.Vehicle running rich i need to check the spark plug for that right??

                                By the way guys whats the speed difference between 160 & 180 at a given rpm ?
