Guys,

I know this has been discussed in past but just to confirm,

In next month I am planning to replace RTR's rear tyre with R15's rear stock, just want to know is it a direct fit???

And

My RTR 180 is now exactly one month old and Odo show 960 KM, I have kept bike below 45 mark till first servicing (first 600 KM) and below 55 mark after first servicing, can I now start hitting 70 mark?? and after how many KM i can get break free i.e hitting three digit?

Why do you want to change the tyres?

I was also thinking of changing but rode in heavy rains again this week(3rd time) think i will wait until they wear out.
And when i was in rains i went over waterry areas atleast 10 times it splashed really hard on my legs and engine as i was at 60-70s , will this effect my engine in any way ?

I have read at many places that water splashing should not be done, may be for ethics, not sure about engine.

Water splashing wouldn't effect the engine in any way !

You can use : Mineral Oil - Castrol Activ 20w40/Elf Moto Gold 20w40/ Motul 3000 20w40/Shell Advance Fast track 20W40
or SS oil - Castrol Power 1 15w40/ Motul 5100

Just make sure you stick to the Xw40 rating for the oil.

that noise is tappet noise , take it to svc think at 5k you are due for service, it doesnt affect the bike it s sound make s you think something wrong , but its ok , put a PM to nox in rtr 160 thread he will tell you how to fix it yourself

castrol activ and power 1 are good i have used them both .

Pads are still brand new.IMO,there isn't any problem with the pads but the disc is the main culprit here.About the technique you are referring to,I have checked this fair many times.But never felt pulsing or anything of that sort.Actually,I do not push the rear-brake lever for too long.The rear just fish-tails!
The reason I can tell you this,that the plate is bent,is when I push the bike in neutral(ignition off),the wheels lock at a particular point and their is a resisting force.And some noises!

Can you shed some more light on the highlighted part in your post?

Thanks.

hmmm ok. All i meant is that its the pads that wear out fast. So if they are slightly out of alignment, they will wear out accordingly, but in sync with the disc.
Now, if there is no pulsing on the lever, and you cant physically see/feel any bend in the disc, it may not be a bend disc, but just wheel alignment.

Guy after all that thrashing and beating for 23k kms in all kind of roads, finally both front and rear rim has got slight bent.

And also got the rear wheel bearings changed.

I noticed this very first time when getting the chain adjusted. Although there is no difference in riding

but while rotating(on stand) one can notice the wobble.

So guys is there any fix to get these right or i have to bear the hole in the pocket

You are really thrashing your ride

So, be prepared for the ride to thrash you back too

There are some places where they fix bend alloys. But depends on the bend. See if you have such shop at your place.

and I'd advice you to go easy on it. If the alloys get some minute crack, you may miss to notice it and could result in accidents. ok?

Oh, BTW, the JRTR192

is with me. Rode approx 250kms in normal break-in method riding it back to my place...

You can go in for any Synthetic engine oil. I would recommend the 300V!!

@Garry_Menace read the second paragraph written above your quote
Hey thanks for advice but No It's not the case i checked twice, may be tuning but i never tune B4 it's factory settings untouched (carb cleaned & put it back once in 14000k service), what to do?
& one thing more my front break fluid is showing no signs of coming down after 19000k,

rear working perfectly, is there any chance of problem in master cylinder (front)? disc checked no marking found by break pads or signs of unknown scratch, at the same time when i break scribbling sound come from both breaks (did pressure water wash no affect)

. pls guide.
Thank you
Ride safe.
