          His bike just need tappet adjustment, AFAIK. Its nothing horrible or to worry, just a normal task to be done. The tappets get loosened according to how much you rip your bike.

                  Around 40-45.

                  Go ahead with your purchase or else the P220 if you are interested in more outright acceleration.

                  • Hi guys,

                    have done 2800 kms in my A180 and after the 2nd servicing the bike was smooth for a few days but now i am facing a lot of vibes between 4-5k and a little over 5k rpm and bikes feels heavy(read: struggling) while accelerating in this rpm range. maybe partially this is because of the 10w30 engine oil and so i am going for an oil+oil filter change today from an outside mech.

                    Also guys why is that whenever the speeds go low in any gear the bike turns off and i have to take self to start again??

                      Idling of your bike is below the recommende setting of 1400 RPM. Check the tachometer when the speed go low in any of the gear. It should be howering below 1k RPM.

                        Any new launches coming up?

                            Thanks and will check and report back....if i am correct the idling can be tuned by using the idling screw in the carb??

                                Not at all. Tried it this evening and the bike was flying...

                                and whats the Rpm when the power starts to trail off?

                                It is around the 9k mark...
