      That is not the problem that is the character of this bike...! Learn to live with it dear..

      About the sound..click sound:May be because the main or center-stand hits the bump.I've experienced it quite a few times now..But it's not click but 'Tannnn' kinda sound!
      If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

          It's a First Sight love and REVV nature of this machine that attracts people.
          People donot buy RTR for vibe or anyother thing, it's their passion about that bike. I own a Pulsar 180 and saying that. LOLZ

            Exactly my opinion..!

            Vibrations are not the only problem.There are other niggling problems as well..but but but..trust me on this they are never a thing of tension.A bit of a bother if you are paying attention to it very closely..

            People say a P220 is a lot more better and a great VFM.And suggest it to all those who come to the 'What Bike' section.Even I have the same views but somehow I feel they compromise for Power.No offence really but Pulsar lack something unlike the RTR...

            The rorty exhaust note is just awesome..mad-rev attitude and a brilliant handler..You could actually feel the 'meat' of the rev-band when the needle goes up the ladder and hits the redline with urgency..So,'fruitful' is the experience that there's hardly a moment I can recall when I rode my bike below 7k rpm-each gear..It's a wonderful bike this..

              That's about the speed on my 180 at around 6k rpm.
              Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

                I am dead sure mine does 80 kmph above 6k! What is the solution for this?

                • This is wrong thread, but, for sake of information here is the RPM and speeds of my Pulsar 180 UG4:

                  @2K 32-33kmph

                  @4K 56-57kmph

                  @5K 70-71kmph


                  @6K 80-82kmph


                  @7K 93-95kmph

                    The left hand side black panel of the bike, the one which is not having the lock in it, that houses the air filter, open it and see the condition of it, the more RPM needed to achieve the speed can be the cause of the clogged filter too.

                    Your toolkit is not strapped properly, open the seat and strap it up.

                    Check the filter as i said above.

                    • RTR 180 speedo readings at rpms:
                      4k rpm:54km/hr
                      5krpm:70-71km/hr
                      6krpm:80-81km/hr
                      7k rpm:95-96km/hr
                      8k rpm:~110km/hr!!

                      Beyond that it's risky to observe those readings!!
