    Man! TVS service sucks.. If my rear disc is really worn out I would have to take it so some A.S.S and repalce it under warranty..

    Now that I have moved to Pune from chennai can anyone suggest me a good TVS Service Centre in Pune? I have given my bike for service in C.B.Z Thube service station. Hope they do a good job.

      Mild amount of wear on the disk is acceptable.If the step on the REAR DISC is less than 1 mm it is ok If it is more pronounced then you will have to change it.

        Turned the a/f screw by half a turn and then further 1/4 turn and now the bike is much smoother Accelerates better than ever. Need to check the spark plug. Tried to unscrew it but it was way too tight. And thanks for the help guys

        I was cruising at 120, felt like the doctor till a santro zipped by

          Don't do speeds you and your bike can't handle. Ride safe..wear protection and be safe.
          Check plug after you had done about 300Kms..
          Good luck to you.

            Guys, i have done 210 kms till now....sometimes, on turning the handle, i hear a groaning sound....is this normal? It happens once or twice, and then dissapears....but it happens everyday.....I hope the body parts are not rubbing against each other.....what could be the cause of the problem?

            Also, could i have handlebar grips like the pulsar fitted on my bike? Where could i get it done in Pune?

            Thank you.....cheers

                From what you say it sounds like your fork yoke stems need lubrication..Does your bike stand in the open and get wet ?Go to your A.S.S since your bike is still under warranty and make a specific complaint,and they will rectify it for you.

                  ENGINE COOLANTS ARE MEANT FOR ENGINES WITH RADIATOR,AND IS ADDED TO THE RADIATOR WATER.
                  Bikes with radiator(YAMAHA R1,R15) do need coolant for lubrication,protection against corrosion,and good heat distribution.Normally in temperate climate like ours 25 to 30 % of coolant volume for the Radiator is enough.More is not good.

                    Got my bike from service today. Changed Spark plug and other minor issues are solved.

                    Still my rear disc is giving squeaching sound even while rotating the wheel keeping the bike on center stand. The rear disc is worn out

                    Anybody has an idea how much does an rtr 180's rear disc plate costs?

                    What is the reason for the disc plate getting worn out so soon? I'm not a stunter or racer. Just a regular biker.

                    My bike is 13months old and 8.3kms on odo. Will my disc plate be changed under warranty?

                      Wsup !!

                      Wsup guys !!

                      Its almost 1 month since using my RTR 180. Here are my observations :

                      1 Fuel effeciency improved ( Initially had around 30 to 32, now close to 36-40).

                      2 Engine feels extremely refined. I don't see that grunty/raw engine feel that i had initially.

                      3 Almost everyone on street cant resist looking at my white beauty

                      Now here are my concerns :

                      I am not that much good into biking however I want to know about this. when i am in 5 th grear it seems that something is stoping my bike from going forwad. I dont know what it this. I reached close to 65 KMPH on 5th grear and it seems my bike is squeezed to max. what the hell is happening here ? My bike is supposed to reach atleast 124KMPH on odo. I am not sure whats happening here, is this normal ? Will first service rectify this issue ?

                      Thank you guys in advance for clearing my doubts.

                        You are experiencing the RTR's Vibration zone near 65km/h Its normal. If you rev it a little more and go above 70km/h you will be out of that zone

                          Well you cant go to 124 from 65 in 5th gear alone, you should have reached 65 by 3rd gear or so i think , crt me if wrong

                            the rpm needle dose not remain constant on idle it continus move slightly.
                            and i rev my bike with out air filter to hear sound of exhaust dose it damage engine or carb.
                            and please tell me the right way to clean air filter.

                              I've never done it myself but saw it getting done in SC. He removed the sponge and dipped it in kerosene (I think petrol is fine but an expensive way + the fact that it evaporates). Squeezed it and repeated the process. And for the final part put engine oil on it.

                              And revving the bike with no air filter is a strict no no.

                                Using Petrol to clean Air Filter will clean better..using Kerosene you have to soak and wait for 5 minutes,and then squeeze it dry,and repeat it 4 or 5 times.
                                If you use Petrol you have to wait till it dries fully,because Petrol vapor is highly explosive and if mounted back into engine,when wet,will make the AF ratio rich and if it backfires will catch fire.....So Kerosene is better.
                                After cleaning,use FRESH light engine oil of 20 or 30 grade to make the air filter wet,and Squeeze to let excess flow out.Now you mount the air filter in its place...and you have done a D I Y air filter cleaning and fitment..Revving the bike without airfilter for short duration is OK.But should not be for long....say more than5 to10 minutes is not good..
