    Restore the original one

    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 u

    My advice to you is restore the original filter of RTR get it fitted and check i am sure it will work fine..........what it has to do with clutch plate change......
    Vibrations i believe, they usually come with the AF mixture is not tuned properly. Believe me i have tuned the AF mixture myself and it has done wonders in terms of pickup and vibrations.....the vedio i'll be posting soon for the same

      right
      that second intake or ie surge in tvs language work only when throttle is suddenly opened to make the mixture lean and give the instant throttle response to bike.
      you can see that round little thing where exhaust is attached to engine head
      and the extra two pipes are going from airbox.

        Yes now the brake pads are settling down but the free play at the front brake lever has increased to a great extent. The free play is almost to half of the full movement. Can we fix this free play issue by any means?

            The tappets are also settling down as an integral part of the engine.The inlet tappet clearance is 0.06 and exhaust is 0.08.If it is more the tappet sound is more audible.The adjustment is done by opening the tappet door screw and adjusting......no need to open the engine and is a minor and routine work.

              TRU4 Premium 4T 10W30 Engine Oil by TVS

              Guys are you all aware for this TRU4 Premium 4T 10W30 Engine Oil by TVS? But i guess most of the TVS bikes need xW40 grade engine oil. So this means we can not put this oil in our bike right?
              And i think without telling us the ASS people are putting this oil in our bikes, as nowadays they are charging more for the engine oil.

                So,your bike can go even faster I guess....
                but wot would be the true speed?? 130kmph ??
                True top speed according to TVS is 125km/hr.

                            after 2nd servicing..brakes have gone to less tha 50%...n disc brake is giving some "trrr" sound...like some stones r dere in pads...servicing guys says "washed in diesel sir so 50-60 km bad it will be back to normal"
                            also performance dip n the smoothness has gone..
                            pls suggest a gud Authorisd Servis Center in Bangalore

                              Its due to the dist particles accumulated. High pressure water splash washing will do...

                                happens in my bike too ! it shows 2 bars in display but it will be well below the reserve indicator in the tank
