12500kms Ownership Report
It's been 10 months of ownership and the Angel has covered close to 13000kms(7500+5300kms).Last week, the 5th Free service was carried out which happened to be the last free service of the bike. And it has been a wonderful journey so far.
Veedol Super Swift has worked wonders and the oil-change was already overdue as the bike had clocked over 4k kms running the same. Tried searching the Motul xW40 300v/5100T but ended in vain as i couldnt find them anywhere. So continued again with the same veedol.During the service, both the brakes bleeding was done.Yesterday while riding i was experiencing a pull from the handlebar under hard braking which indicates that the steering bearings have worn out.Will check it in next service.Probably the stoppies took its toll on the bike.
(Mind you, it's been ripped day and night by two aggressive riders!! 
)
Now after 300kms of the service, the bike feels more peppier and revvier.Hit 88-89km/hr in 3rd gear where the bike was doing 10k rpm and it reached there much quicker than before.Even the top end rush has increased as the bike feels like it's breathing much better than before.Some vibrations have crept in the footpegs at 8k-9k rpm which is again not disconcerting but was not present before.The feel from the handlebars has remained similar, though.
Until now, the bike has been hassle-free(touchwood) and returns decent mileage as well.It varies from 35-45km/ltr depending on riding conditions.Keeping things below 5k rpm, also returns clsoe to 50km/ltr.What's worth mentioning is that the bike's engine is opening up really well and so is the performance.
The rear tyre has already lost 60-65% of its life and we were thinking of switching to 110-spec Zapper the moment it hits the open market.Both of us havent faced any problems with the tyre except during the rains where we are extra careful while ripping.
Mileage:In city:35-40km/ltr(Ripping)
Highway:~40kmpl(7k-8k rpm shifts)
Mix of highway+City:42-43km/ltr(Ripping)
Mix of highway+City:Over 45km/ltr(Sane riding i.e within 6k rpm)
PS:All pics clicked by my brother except for the first one and the last which is taken by me.Comment

@SWAGATH:
Beautiful first pic, the bike looks lovely.
13K's in 10 months!!!
My bike is close to two years old now, and my odo shows 9400.
Bleeding was done pretty early, were the brakes too spongy??
And dont forget to relace the fork oil after 3000kms,as they are taking quite a beating with your stoppies as mentioned by you.
Are you into too much of a burnouts, and where is the smoking RTR180 pic then??
The centre area of the tyre has gone out completely .
And very good avg figures you're getting man, too good for a 180CC machine,that too carbed.
My bike drops to 35kmpl when ridden hard.
PS:
keep the pics flowing.

any info on rtr 180 ABS when is it coming ?
FAQs-RTR owners
For me its never been nor will ever be my DL, For me its always been and will always remain my RL {Riding License}
I confess that I ♥ :
*Being ogled at while waiting
for lights to turn green
*Fielding queries from massed onlookers
*Pushing dream bikes to their limits
*Blasting past slowpokes
*Hoiking the front wheel
*Scraping a knee around cornersComment

Actually..i don't see TVS clearing out doubts over this matter..
I think it will be launched with the RTR220 or whatever is coming next..

Those are RTR's rear pics in orkut.
Log into orkut, quote his post to get links and then go to link by yourself.
But I couldn't figure out what those pics were for? It seems pics are pointing to some sort of different tyre on RTR 180.Last edited by chauhan_saurabh; 05-28-2010, 02:27 AM.Comment

I did the same but then as you know the rubber covers of the rider's foot pegs are not removable. So, I got them installed back, just to make it uniform!Originally posted by rennycornelius View PostComment
