Any new brake pad will need some 100 kms of running in before it performs to the optimum level. So i would suggest to wait till your brake pads settle down.Originally posted by flyingJian View PostGuys got the front brake pads changed at 18k from SVC but after the change the front brakes have lost it bite. To stop the bike by front brakes only i have to press the brake lever very hard which was not the case with the earlier ones.
Earlier with the slight push of two fingers i can stop the bike but now have to press hard with three and still bike dont come to complete halt.
Was there any faulty installation or how can i get it rectified?
Guys need help here.sigpic

Dude, that was but obvious his bike was revved in neutral and the display is of the top speed!Originally posted by iBerry View PostWhy does your digital speedo have no odo reading? Nice pic!
You can also see that bike is close to the pavement and not in centre or around. Though, it by no means undermines the effort

How much +/- could the speedo error be expected?Originally posted by chicane1879 View Post

I've tried it on two different RTR180's... but neither of them went past 125 on speedo...
P.S. I didn't waited more than 2-3 seconds to see further increase in the reading. As I saw that the reading is stuck at 125 only for 2-3 seconds, I started de-accelerating. Does it takes some time to go past that mark? Or I, unluckily, got both the bikes with zero speedo errors?

Grunting Sound from my Bike
Hi guys,
When ever i accelerate, at high RPMs the bike throws a kind of grunting sound.........Bhurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....! something like this which automatically goes off once the RPM and speed are some what synchornised.....i mean it does comes when i open up the throttle instantly.....if i gradually increase it it doesnt comes......
hey by the way i took my bike on EXPRESS HIGHWAY bombay-pune......i touched 133
after which i guess there was still some juice left but air pressure was tremendous so till now i have reached 133
but do let me know guys whether this kind of sound is OK.....and what this crank shaft is all abt because i do hear tappet noise after the bike has ran few kilometeres which comes down as and when it gets cold. I guess loose tappet wont damage my engine but
I am worried about that sound well i guess it used to come right from the vary first day.......but just wanted to know whether its OK or not?EVERY MORTAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWN DESTINY

Guys my bro rtr 180 is facing a serious issue.
After 15k kms he put a local filter(duplicate of K&N) and it was not tuned properly,now the bike clocked about 20k kms the problem is that bike doesnt goes above 95kmph and while doing these speeds the vibrations are unbearable,the pick up has drastically decreased we have shown it to a local mechanic,he said clutch place need to be replaced.
Now what are u suggestions for decrease in pickup,vibrations,topspeed?will the replacement of local to orginal will do the job?
Thank uA LOST RACE IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN A LOST LIMB

rtr has second in take system that work when you suddenly opens your throttle .which insert more air in engine and that more air pass thru the exhaust making burrrrr sound .Originally posted by blazing180 View PostHi guys,

So you mean to say this sound is pretty OK i mean like you said a second intake system is there which causes this sound......so i think there nothing to worry about right?EVERY MORTAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWN DESTINY
