you can test my bike its 10 months old and will show you the real rtr feeling
of vibes and hard gear box .

I disaagree on this, Abhishek bro

hehe

Actually, the test ride experience may be refined for you because you may have got the bike whose engine was already runned-in with nice care, having a nice engine oil (other than the shitty TRU4) etc etc.

RTR shows more vibes in the earlier days, which can be controlled if you do some simple things for it like changing oil at short interval in starting and then switch to some nice semi-synthetic like Motul 5100 or something.

I am feeling more vibes in my bike due to the lean mixture which I've mentioned and discussed here for N times and I'm not worried of that. I ride "@180menace's" bike almost every week and the vibes are much less in his bike. Same has been mentioned here by Drifty, Renny etc afte changing the engine oil.

you mean vibrations will increase with time and so is the gears problem

i dont know whether vibes really disappear or not.
but you definitely get used to them with time !

The vibes are there... and will never go away...

But it is not a huge issue and very few complain about it.

i never test ride it i only test my bike when it was delivered at my home
it was smooth and ya gear box was tight but the sound was very less and vibs were their . all nuts was tights so i was getting less vibs .
and now its vibrate more than it was new .
i know vibs are the trade mark of this bike but it can be controlled .
still they never dissappers. as time passes it becomes more
in my case
i gets some miss shifts every time i ride my bike.

i dont know others bikes how they are working i am sharing my Experiences with my bike
i have take care of my bike regularly .may be this is svc fault they have done nothing in my bike in service instead of washing oil changing and give it back to me.
thats why i shift this time to cbz .they done something more than tvs svc.
still after one week the bike is slowly comming to its older Behavior .

hiccups ,vibs,squeesing from disk pads ,miss shifts

Whoever says that Vibrations disappear with time is completely wrong,period!

Vibrations have never bothered me really,until now.Everybody knows that from 5-6.5k rtr vibrates like hell,which happens to be the most usable range.

Of late,I have noticed there's a karrrrr-karrrrrrrrrr(very irritating noise!) coming from god-knows-where..Whether it's the tank or fairing or handlebar but it really is pissing me off!

I had asked the service guy to check and tighten the bolts of the fairing and do some jugaad..He f****d up the whole thing a little bit more,as now I can't even ride with that noise..I want to jump when revs climb to 5k

Svc guy fixed some double tape or whatever and despite the changes the results are not at all satisfying!

oh i jus read the manual., i thought the warranty was for one year :P my mistake., anyways guys bike is jus awesome.,

about the vibes., my bike is giving more vibes than before., i.e., after changing engine parts., and my experience was i had less vibes as i crossed 8k kms n to the day i had to change parts., > this was my experience.,

**dead_piper** · 12-14-2010, 11:08 PM

Naveen1985 - i think you are leaned more towards zma., i would say go for it., its upto you to decide., we are nobody to tell you what to buy n not. test ride both. buy what your heart likes. there is a LOT of difference between both rides.
