    Id say, shift at 8.5 k. Stock 200 vs Stock 180, your bike would have the edge. K&N without bigger jets, has no power gain. Bcoz of the sound, you may feel its faster.

      Yes your technique is correct.And about the drag it depends on the tune of your bike and also the rider. Both the bikes are somewhat close in terms of performance so this difference could turn the table either way.And don't over-rev the bike i.e avoid 10k rpm shifts.

        • Some Usual tips:

          Croutch!
          Dont load the fuel tank to full
          Maintain Good Air Pressure
          Check Chain Slack,
          Clean Air filter,
          Switch gears at 8.5K to 9K range, delay 5th gear to 9K
          Be nice to him and wave at him when you overtake him

          A decently maintained 180 can kill the 200 pretty easily.

          PS: Do not Road Race, its illegal, risky to you idiots as well as others on road.

              Upjetting on his bike has been done when he installed K&N filter.
              Thanks for suggestion.
              When approaching a corner, stay on the gas until you see Jesus. Then brake HARD.

                  I don't know how tuned my bike is weather it is running rich or a bit rich, regarding rider you are absolutely right. I will be careful about 10k rpm shift, will do on 9 or 9.5 without letting of the gas.
                  Thanks Chicane.

                        Dont leave the accelerator at shift, keep the throttle to the max while shifting too.

                        And find someone to "shoot" the "shootout".
                        Ok Renny i will shift at 9, i hope its fine, and yes i don't let off the throttle while shift.
                        Thanks

                              • Can anyone tell me how many teeth rear and front sprocket does the RTR 180 have?
