By 'pair' I meant both ones that come in a dual combo. So it will cost 500 bucks..?

Yes you can but dont mention anything about the coil replacement.

Ask them to check the issue which you are facing with the gears . Let them come to a solution. And make sure you represent it as a serious case and force them to replace(whichever part is faulty) under warranty.

@ n krishna p and kantu- my local mech is in yelahanka and his name is karthik.my svc is in ganganagar triton tvs.yeah i think we'll meet up krishna i know chamrajpet.i am going for a trip to ooty next month,i cant have tappets nor this wobbling bother me.
And i didnt have any puncture and the handle bar shakes only at 60-63 kmh before and after its fine.

Is my mech a cheat????

Dont have any concrete solution for this bro.The quarter pin which hold the foot pegs are very thin,leading to more vibrations.Even if you tighten it,they become loose in a few months.I am looking to change it with the thick ones,will update about it if I feel any difference.


The working of this ABS is different from that of CBR250R.In CBR case,it is combined ABS(both the brakes are applied at the same time),here in RTR,both the brakes are independent.
RTR180 comes with HECU.The H-ECU or the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit is the heart of the system, which constantly keeps monitoring the front and rear wheel dynamics through the individual sensors on each wheel.When you switch off the ABS,then it will behave like a normal bike as the sensors stop monitoring the braking response.You dont have that option of switching OFF ABS in CBR!


OT:How to insert images along with the post rather than attachments?I read the dedicated thread for it but no results!When I copy the image location & paste it in the 'insert image' link,just a small white box appears in the post but not the image.Would appreciate if someone could help me with this!

Different sizes of quarter pins..

i think it is pretty much common in all 180's to vibrate during 4-5k rpms...usually 60-67 comes in between 4k-5k rpm only. Are you using stock TVS engine oil? I too had this issue and during my 3rd service (5000KM) I asked my SVC in HSR if I can change my engine oil...he suggested to go for Castrol power 1 (15w40) or Motul...both semi synthetic...after changing oil...the gears became much smoother and the vibes reduced...power also increased....planning to go for full synthetic oil in my 4th service...

But on any given day....you cannot go away from the Vibes... it will be always there...it can be reduced but not stopped completely...have not met anyone whose apache does not vibrates..

PS:You should see this!!

First of all, I cannot comment whether your mechanic is a cheat.

I believe you are from north of Bangalore. Its easy for us to meet up. I stay in RT Nagar. PM me if you would be able to meet me at 8 pm tonight near the Triton Showroom (near Coffee day) and Whom did you talk to in Triton?

Triton guys are lazy, they do the work, if you know a thing or two about bikes, else, its plain jain stuff. If you have problems persisting, just go to the showroom, head to the first floor and ask you want to meet the MD. He is a nice guy (i missed his name). Never show your temper, be cool and calm talk to him and he will get the work done. Never mention about the outside mechanic, you wont be able to get any warranty replacements.

PM me for my contact number.

If this is a stock bike then,was it flying?

@n krishna P- i cant meet today cuz tommrow i have my end sem exams.ill meet you tommrow.yeah ill mail you.

I never faced any problem related to the removal of the saree guard,there is a rubber bush kinda thing which is there(extra) and is bolted with the saree guard near the footpeg,I kept it there after removing the saree guard i guess you should get it fixed there i guess!

If it had been flying, then the speed would be 0 kph :P:P

The front wheel won't rotate, so no odo reading na

Exactly!!

Well technically if you do a run up and take off like a jet the front wheel will produce more revolutions for some amount of time as there is nothing in contact to it now ,so speedo should indicate more unless you do a vertical lift off this whole rubbish theory will be rubbish

Can somebody do a wheelie at those speeds and test Kantu's theory out

Speed sensor on both wheels!

One interesting info guys: The speed information for RTR 180 ABS comes from both the wheels, as both wheels have a speed sensor! So, even if you are doing a wheelie for 10 km, you still will have the speed and distance information on the console. The best part of this is when you are buying the bike, you exactly know how much km it has run and what is the top speed it has been ripped up to by the showroom people.
