Hi All. Forgive me for the long post. I am facing an issue with my 3 month old rtr 180 abs version. I ve gone through this forum. Please dont be rude that Ive not done it. I am not sure about what I should do now.Detailing the issue below.

Visit 1 to Service Centre - For second Service

No Issues as of now. Had just gone to get the scheduled service done at around 2.5kms at At 2500km i had given for second service, at the ramkay tvs medavakkam .Service done and bike was delivered.
On returning, I started facing the famous hiccup and stall issue on my rtr 180 .he bike has hiccups near about 3-4k rpm in 3rd and 4th gears. Also in lower gears with sudden increase in throttle.
I had no such issues until my 2nd service. SVC has screwed up something.
Visit 2 :
The bike had hiccups while riding. I went and detailed the issue to an engineer and he took the bike for a spin and said that there are no issues and they wont touch the carb during service , unless complained.
Visit 3:
In a weeks time the hiccups increased and at the end it didnt even start in the mornings. So i had the bike taken to the service station in a carrier vehicle and they said there is dust in the carb. It has been cleaned and the issue wont occur.
Visit 4:
On the very next day i was able to feel the issue again. When i took it to service centre the issue was not occcuring for some reason. So the guys asked me to come only when i could show the issue to them.

I am worried about this state of my 3 month old bike. Should i tune the carb myself following the online instructions.
My current carb tune done by the svc guys is 1.5 turns from the leanest possible mixture. Is 1.5 turns normal or too lean.

Is there any factory number of turns or revolutions of the fuel screw like 2 or 3 for the rtr 180?

Or should i hunt for some other service center. Help Please

Thanks bro
I have tried that as well, but unfortunately it does not fit clip on handlebars on our bikes. Its useful for long handlebars only.

In some moto-vlogs, I have seen tank covers with a transparent window on top to keep your mobile phone. If you are not particular about a holder (as such) and don't use tankbags much, maybe this will work for you. You can even modify a tank cover to add a mobile compartment on top.

An added advantage of this setup is that you can keep your mobile phone free of dirt and rain.

Hope that helped.

Tank bag is on my buy list. But for now I will surely look into buying tank covers with transparent top cover for keeping my cell phone.

How many of you are upgrading to 200??? Had this launched 2 years back, I would have got it instead of the CBR.

It can't really be called as an upgrade if you move from 160 or 180cc to 200cc and with a mere 3-5bhp jump..

However, it would be a great first bike for anyone..

Ye, But considering the pathetic Svc from Honda, I would have got another TVS, rather than the Honda. [emoji14]
Any ways, SVC varies from place to place.
But still, its an worthy upgrade from 180 I believe- with ABS, FI and PSD.

I'm selling my viaterra magnetic tank bag which is almost in new condition, PM me if you need it
