      Ride any TVS bike and you will always feel the need for an extra cog.

          And you need to replace the clutch too as the damage might have been already done.Stress on them to replace it.
          yes sure thanks chicane !

          • Hi guys...

            when one goes for warranty do they ask to show the servicing receipts or just the entry in the bike manual is enough?????

            and why does the front suspension feels very stiff when going over potholes...it sounds like a thud and i am worried it may cause damage to the front suspension...??

              yea,my first bike victor 110 cries for 5th gear from 43km(worst among 100cc), i guess its due to the silencer design.

              At what speed does rtr 180 ask for 6th gear?

                  • Yesterday i was able to hit over 11k rpm in 4th gear!!

                    Feels great that no other 'stock' sub-250cc bike(currently on sale in India) can manage this feat(except the RTRs, of course).

                    PS:Speedo reading:120-121km/hr at that time.

                      RTR 160 does 99-100kmph at 11k rpm...

                              It wasn't a steep slope. A gradual one. And the way the speedo climbed when i shifted to 5th was a 'sight'. Reached 135km/hr in no time.

                              The rear tyre is acting funny(not skidding). I cant take longish corners now at triple digit speeds. The rear feels bouncy and unsettled while cornering. Will have to switch to the 110-spec MRF. Enquired at MRF Exclusive outlet here and it costs 1820 only.

                              The bike completed 16000kms yesterday!!
