    problem about magnetcoil?

    never heard any problem related to it

    i would suggest you to buy A180...

    as you visited the showroom so can you tell me the on-road price of HyperEdge?


    P.S. I didn't ride HyperEdge but as far as i know, there's nothing new in it which can take a lead or preference over A180...

      Just want to know whether it covers under warranty or i have to pay for it and how much more kms i can ride with this on.
      Any long term issues i will have if i dont change it?

      Guys need help here
      Im facing the same exact issue on my 180. My bike has covered 16k kms. The ball bearings have to be replaced to rectify this.

        Guys how many of us all are facing this issue and has somebody got it changed under warranty? Is the problem with the RTR 180 or RTR 160 and Fi guys also had faced this problem?

          On road price of hyperedge is as same as the earlier version of A160 Rs 69,700 for the front disc and Rs 71,300 for the front and rear discs
          And what's the mileage of A180 in city and in highways?

            My A180 gives me around 38 kmpl in city with mixed riding (rough and normal).... while on highway, it gave me around 44kmpl


            P.S. When ridden by my dad, it gives 45 or sometimes more than that in city ... sane driving is what gets the credit here

                And any huge maintenance costs as the tvs salesman was saying that the maintenance cost is higher as compared to the 160.I don't know why the hell are all the tvs dealer are rushing for the 160.I have visited three showrooms so far and got the same response.

                    • @Krish1417 - don't give a crap what the showroom guys say... and once u buy the bike DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT THE SERVICE GUYS SAY..

                      at most of the places they aren't much educated about the bike and things related to it :P

                                Yes i am also facing the same sound. When the bike goes thorugh some pit or speed breaker it comes and its now a frequent sound. I chcked the local showroom here in pune Century TVS svc, i think that is related to my Disk i got a local mechanic he cleaned my disc as it was throwing a chu-chu sound. But then unfortunately the disc was not set properly, Well i am not sure but it is coming from that only. The SVC guy told that it is coming from fairing and need to open the mask and check the issue. But i feel its coming from the disc pads.... dont know but will get it checked on the weekend
                                Guys help needed here
