    Such an Irony that TVS is not able to provide spare parts in it's home-state.

    A perfect example of Suppy Chain gone wrong!!

      yup...altho i dont know wats the story with other dealers...but trust me Ramkay is the major player for TVS here in Chennai..so if they dont have it...thn u got a slim chance u find it else where...

      what i think TVS guys are making limited spare parts with proportion to the sales of RTR 180....so may be thats the issue....and trust me TVS is a classic example of the typical "Indian Discipline"..even tho their guys got talent to produce a ride lyk RTR..but their management sturcture of their SVCs and after sales are no way near to a decent standard ! ! !...they lack discipline in areas lyk routine chks at ther SVCs and after sales..and taking care of the complaints from the customers...which i think where the Hero Hondas and may be the Bajajs and even Yamahas are way ahead ! ! !
      Nothing feels better than to gear up and burn some rubber ! ! !

            Every BIKE has a lot of speed in it. The trick is getting the speed out of it.

                • Guys, Had a one way clutch problem ( Seem too common in 180 RTRS).
                  Replaced it under warranty(as on paper). But still billed 230 bucks.

                    i asked for stickers for a different reason altogether but they said we'll have to buy the part itself.Same story at many svcs...but they should be providing it right?..
                    It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

                        Yes it is. Replace it fast or the bike will give up anytime and will leave you stranded helpless!!

                            yeah they should be providing it... Yamaha, hh n bajaj (i think) provides them. i don't understand why tvs are so weird when it comes to all these after sales things

                              2700 bucks!...

                              But Warranty rocks...
                              If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

                                is the Rtr 160 clutch also prone to failure ?
                                my bike used to make a lot of these gunshot noises when new but back then no one could tell me what was wrong .
