          when your bikes engine is new, it heats up a bit more than after everything is set in...

          even I felt the heat when I got mine after some time it gets less...

                oh! yeah try to keep it below 4k rpm for better performance later buddy.. i made and intensive study on run-in and it says for Ur engine wells and piston to mate well the run-in period plays a very important role. so try keeping the rpm well in range with varying speed below 50 kmph so that the "menace will last longer"

                  that is sad..
                  my dealers were happy to replace it for me since the damage was form the transportation.

                            I was one of those who waited for almost a month and finally got it.

                            Followed up with Showroom sales guy, (one of the worst salesperson ever seen) the guy who places the order, the TVS area sales manager. Lost the count of phone calls made to these people.

                            Had booked on 1st of august and got the bike on 28th of august.

                            Cheers....Abhi

                            • I am hearing many such cases(only with the White RTRs) where customers are promised a time frame and then it gets delayed for reasons known to TVS.

                              Even we cancelled the booking in one of the showroom as the White one was send to another dealer(probably, by mistake)!!

                                After Yellow RTR....White RTR180 has become the Flagship model for TVS....
                                And also i've enquired with the TVS SV Manager in chennai that 90% of RTR 180 which are booked are of White Colour...coz of its Uniqueness in Colour...

                                Since Demand is more - the delay happens usually.....
                                This demand will get reduce with by year end .... since tvs will produce more bikes as the Festival Season Commences....
