Hey welcome to the tribe

I'm facing the usual problems associated with the bike. The vibes are close to intolerable around 4.5k-6k mark and you either want to slow down or accelerate further. Guess I'll learn to live with it

And another more serious problem is the bike's instability at speeds of 80+. It simply refuses to stay in a straight line (suspect a wheel alignment problem) and I cannot cruise at those speeds.

dude, get ur bike checked by the SVC guys or any other good mechanic (just get CHECKED in case of other mechanic n then take it to SVC). i think ur bike needs to get all the bolts tightened and the same goes for the axle too. also check the alignment.

hope u'll get it rectified soon.

Later on Saturday,I've complained about Aditi TVS,Noida...Mail was sent directly to A.Ilango..I guess he's the GM..

I've complained so badly that I believe Aditi TVS has been given a proper scolding by TVS bosses..

Here's the reply which I got from Aditi TVS..:

Dear shivank,

Thanks for your feedback, I am owner of ADITI TVS and i am sorry for inconvience caused. I am here at dealership and my personal no is 9810035896 pls visit us i will take care of your issues personally.

ARVIND SHOREWALA

NOIDA

I am sure going to take my issues to him..I'd like if anyone could confirm whether disc plates come under warranty or not?..

Bike's not being stable at 80 is first i heard, it's surely the wheel alignment.
Get it checked ASAP.
It's dangerous.

I'll visit a local mechanic or the SC during the weekend. Was just checking the rear wheel seems like the left portion is wearing out more than the right side. There's chalk mark on both sides and the left ones have vanished more or less (the right ones are fully intact

)

**badbikerboy** · 09-28-2010, 03:25 PM

suggestions please!!!

i've got 7-8 punctures in the rear tyre...

I think its time to change it. What do u guys think??? (pretty good excuse,huh?)

@swagat-- How's ur new tyre performing???

Colour: White
Till Date Driven : 640 Kms (Will be updating once in a week)
Top Speed Reached: 79 (will be updating once in a week, if any improvement :P )

When i first took the bike i was just gazing at it, it was looking so hot. Till now i have once reached 79 Km/h Speed as we say vary speed for better matting for parts lol :P
At the first gears were little stucky but by the time passed it became normal i was so worried.

Every sunday i complete 70-100 Kms approx, as i don't get time to get on the bike on work days

Will keep you guys update

Hello,
As we all know RTR 180 Got White sexy colour which is awesome, but the main problem comes with that colour is its cleanliness, So i am here to get help from you guys to keep my RTR 180 clean specially in lower mud-guard place which gets dirty too quickly and i don't clean before serviciing as i am scared that mud scars will be left, also if you guys can suggest me some tips it will be great helpful to me

Thanx

Guys My avreage is 35kmpl...no matter how i ride(i usually shift in between 5-6k rpm)....and my idling is at 1.3k rpm...My highway ride is at an average of 80kmph and city is 60-65kph.

Is this figure 35kmpl ok??

and by the way some updates regarding the Shell Advance Fast Trac 4T which i used during my 3rd service..

1.Gear shifting have got lot smoother..but still i wonder why it is bit sticky at lower speeds??

2.Vibrations have gone down by more than 75% what I had after my 2nd service....Its almost negligible by TVS standards.

3.mileage have gone up by 4kmpl,,i dont know if its the effect of the engine oil or not...prior to that i used to get 30kmpl..
