RTR180 mileage..
@chicane n other 180 owners
Guys..
I get mileage of only 30-33km per litre..
Am disappointed with it..
I never managed to get above 35..
I hve touched high speeds of 120 doubles ...
is it because of the pick up it causes mileage to decrease..
DO all 180s give the same milege..??
Am at coimbatore and the TVS service center isnt good..
Plz help..Last edited by mpasanthosh; 01-24-2010, 11:42 PM.

My Friend too was experiencing less mileage....But it was because the Choke Valve was slightly opened.....means that lever was not to its initial position...may be that would be the reason for fuel related issue..."I hate people moving fast....so I overtake them.."

Is this the mileage you are getting while ripping or under normal conditions.In normal conditions(below 6k rpm) the bike should give 40-42kmpl.I get below 33-35 in insane ripping mode and close to 45kmpl when i go 'sane' on the bike!!Originally posted by mpasanthosh View Post@chicane n other 180 owners

If it doesnt improve with change in riding style(read:sober) then probably your tuning is rich.Also clean/check the spark plugs.Btw, how much kms has your bike covered till date?

I never get mileage over 30-32kmpl and today i recorded even worse than this..25.something..!..Don't know what's the matter but yeah if riding and shifting @ 5-6k rpm is sane driving then i am definitely not into it..mostly i shift gears at 8-9k..If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

Also i forgot to mention that the bike's mileage takes a heavy beating when it comes to city mileage-ripping.The mileage drops below 35kmpl but on highway even if you ride at over 8k rpm for most of the time the bike still manages to give close to 40kmpl.
The frequent shifting of gears (read:clutch usage) takes a heavy toll on the bike's mileage.Try to open up the carb and tune it and do it only if you are sure of the mechanic's repute.

It has covered 3777 kms...
I cross 80 sometimes when driving is it the reason..
and guy my side battery cover is not locking properly now..
i mean there is something missing inside..
even if i lock it with my keys the cover is still missing...
Will there be a spare for it..

AFR is perfect and the idle engine speed is 1500 or less.
Do you people think there's anything related to carburetor or something else?
And i don't think i use clutch unnecessarily but if it's B-2-B traffic..What else can you do then burning the clutch?..Secondly,even if i rip the bike like hell..there shouldn't be that much fall in the figures i believe!If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

unless and untill you do wheelies, burnouts, and ride with half clutch, you just cannot burn your plates before 20000kms....Originally posted by shivank View PostAFR is perfect and the idle engine speed is 1500 or less.

@ ALL
if you're gettin an avg of 35-40 kmpl with all kind of driving, it's pretty much good and satisfying for a 180cc 17 PS engine that shows you a 12000 at the tacho.Last edited by rennycornelius; 01-25-2010, 04:52 PM.The Magician"

Let wheelies be changed with drags! and the rest i always do!..(Occasionally)Originally posted by rennycornelius View Postunless and untill you do wheelies, burnouts, and ride with half clutch, you just cannot burn your plates before 20000kms....
Half-clutch has been the problem with my friend who rides the bike sometimes but he's been scolded and told not to do that..
Also,i hardly drive single...does that make any difference?If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

Sorry to deviate the current topic... but I need a help guys. Earlier I had an HID kit installed. But today I removed it (cop magnet, conscience prick). It was a bit complicated locating the original wirings
. Now, the problem is that, of the three wires in the headlamp cable set, one (black) has been cut mid way, and the connector is also missing. Also, now both the filaments light up at the same time (which I suspect they shuffled the pins). i checked at the SVC, but they do not have stock of the headlamp cable set. I've ordered for one. Now coming to both filaments lighting up - if anyone has experience with the config of the connector pins can you give me some idea?
Lets say the connectors on the bulb are like below
|_|
I assume the center one is the common terminal??? to which one do the connect the black wire? left or right?
help me plz....

...try to ride it a bit sanely and record the mileage figure that you're getting.If it doesnt improve,it might be tuning IMO...
