    Guys,after the accident the bike has now been fixed to its original shape.

    Total expenses were for around 4k bucks..I need a little bit of help from you guys.I think the authorized dealer here has over-quoted most of the things that were replaced.The reason being I have been given a hand-made bill and not computer generated.I am listing all of the parts that were replaced with the cost of each one of them.If you guys can,then please confirm it for me..Here are particulars as per the bill :

    Headlamp Stay-Rs.372
    Leg Guard-Rs.382 (seems the price is genuine)
    Handlebar weight(only for the RHS)-Rs.205!
    Housing-Rs.666
    Silencer cover/plate-Rs.315
    Indicator (FR)-Rs.165..
    Brake pedal-Rs.350 I remember R15's brake pedal costs about 150 bucks only.I'd be amazed if this is the true price for RTR's pedal..
    Head Light-Rs.1080
    Front brake lever-Rs.231..

    I would like to know the genuine prices of these 'genuine' products at your place,if they match with these it's well and good.If not,nonetheless,will help me sue the dealer for sure..
    the handlebar weight, indicator, head light and front brake lever - these have almost close price here in TVM, Kerala too...
    Yeah, the prices are a bit high when compared to Pulsars (if that is how you compare)

        • Problem with my RTR 180 engine kill switch

          Guys I am having a wiered problem with my RTR 180 engine kill switch(Red switch on the right handle bar.

          When i run the bike with headlight on, after sometime the engine kill switch stops working. So when I press the switch, bike doesnt turn off but when i switch off the head light bike shuts off.

          And this thing doesnt happens if I run the bike with headlight off.

          I am having this problem since gear bearing work done on the bike.
          The SVC people have replaced the complete engine cutoff switch unit and it did work ok for sometime but now it has again starting giving up the same problem.

          Guys any suggestions, whats going on wrong here?
          Thanks for the help

          • Does any other RTR180 owner have the "Auto Horn" feature?
            What is "Auto Horn" ? Well, its the activation of the ear-piercing horn, when the handle bar is turned to either directions, especially at least expected and least required places like parking lots, among crowded no-horn areas.

                    • Carbeuretor

                      I am thinking of installing a 33mm Carbeuretor along with a K&N filter. Any views on the same. A friend of mine told me that it will give me good power pickup top end etc. I just want to know the pros and cons. Any help here??

                          As you know, headlamp region has a lot of plastics.. there might be a screw loose somewhere. Check all the visible screws if they are firm enough. Also do you have a metal (or hard) key-chain? I had a similar "sound from headlamp region" issue but I figured out it was the key-chain hitting the RTR logo region that made the sound !

                            According to this thread (after reading almost all the 300+ pages of it), people do not recommend K&N since it provides more air (and dust) into the engine thereby reducing engine life, although performance would be good. So you decide !

                                ^^^ Showed to any TVS SVC? Got any thing changed regarding this problem?

                                Did this problem start all of a sudden or after some repair work done on your bike like in my case?

                                If sort out the problem than do share the fix.
