You wont get Zapper Q in 110/80 17". I dont know if the new Unicorn rear tyre is called Zapper Q. But the tread pattern doesnt suggest so.

.. According to the mechanic, RTR 180's one way clutch has an inherent design failure which makes it go kaput in some time..( Which I guess means that all RTR 180 clutches will have to be replaced, at some point, sooner than normal!)

Took my bike to the svc yesterday... to replace the one way clutch.. According to the mechanic, RTR 180's one way clutch has an inherent design failure which makes it go kaput in some time..( Which I guess means that all RTR 180 clutches will have to be replaced, at some point, sooner than normal!)
But, the new batch of 180s comin out have a new clutch design alongwith a DCI or DCU or something, which lasts good... Now, is this fact true?? Anyone else heard about this?
BTW, my clutch will be replaced by the new clutch, free of cost...

That's BS.

180 is not having one hell of a diff clutch design than the 160, that's making it create the probs and 160 is all smilin without it.
Lend the last surviving ear to the DUMB sc guys.

Renny, Are you sure that there is no difference in the design of the clutch?

Majority of 180 owners are facing the problem with the one-way clutch.And it's high time that TVS comes with a recall program of sorts.

Lend the last surviving ear to the DUMB sc guys.

That has to be Renny's favourite quote and the most used quote in this forum

I hate those idiotic sc guys who wont do anything till you stand on their heads.
All they do is wash ur bike, lube here and there,blow a high pressure air to the filter, dont even see the marks at both the sides while tightning the chain,adjust the clutch in most pathetic manner,and whoa!!!!!
your bike is serviced.

Stock tyres are ok on tarmac road but not good on wet road, they tend to loose grip on wet surface.

You can change your stock tyres to

Rear :100/80 - 17 Zapper S (Yamaha R15)
Front: 90/90 - 17 Zapper FS(Pulsar 220)

You can also go for Zapper Q on rear.

Well for 180, the best bet would be the 110-spec Zapper launched with the CB Dazzler.It would take a while before it comes out in the open market.Other than that there is an option of 110-spec IRC.Can't recall the exact model number.Do not over-size the tyre specs as it will hamper overall performance

Next time be cautious while riding during rains. Some tips from my side:
-On wet roads, always expect the unexpected.Even the oil-spills would get disguised with the rain water and create havoc if you are not alert while riding.
-While taking a turn and during exit do not give abrupt acceleration as the tyre side walls in contact would not give you enough grip and the rear would slip out , as a result.And this applies to 180 more because of the presence of greater amount of low-end torque.
-Under hard/panic braking try to bring your weights to the front keeping all weights on the handle bar and brake accordingly depending on conditions.Do not ever put dab on the rear brakes abruptly.Proper modulation is required on both brakes

...But still there will always be difference under emergency/panic braking conditions. So try to follow the basics as much as possible.It might come in handy anytime.





May be or may be not.It depends on the discretion of the service center of TVS where you service your bike

When are they going to launch CB Dazzler, any idea?

And how about Pirelli sports demon tyre, is it better than Zapper S?
Which other tyres are better than Zapper.. Any suggestion
