Compared to a 2-Stroke you will always find a 4-stroke boring.Having ridden only two 2-stroke bikes(Shogun and Samurai) the fun of riding is unmatched! But I am sure you will love the RTR sooner than you think..It has a reputation of a 2-stroke lookalike among other 4-strokes..That were my 2 cents there.Rest,you might be knowing better,as presumably you had a Shogun before.

PS:I had ridden a 2-stroke Scooty/Kine Honda as well.It was fun!

Couldn't agree more with you Shivank....by the way..my Shogun is still with me.....I'll have to be a retard to sell a bike like that....

I have always felt that the RTR had a few of the characteristics like the Shogun such has rev-friendly engine...the gear ratios.... appealing exhaust note.... not to mention the vibes!

And do head over to the Trivandrum Offline thread and introduce yourself. We have a strong presence and lots of activities related to xbhp happening..

Hi bro, one more question, might be a silly one for you

Do i need to remove the three small bolts also, which surrounds the drain bolt?

Anyways, which is the best option to replace oil and filter?, Either i do it myself (I'm pretty nervous cos this is the first time

) or should i hand over the Shell 10W40 oil and oil filter to the SVC guys on service day and let them do it, because one of them said they would, if i get them the oil. But the question is, when should i give the oil & filter

whether at the time i give them the ride (at 8.30am

), when i go at the eve, or in between?...

Its better you get the SVC to change the oil for you until all your booklet services are over. That way, in the 'eyes of TVS' you have complete and clean service record, which will help you in case of any warranty claims wrt engine (God forbid). You'll need to give them the oil when you give the bike itself. If you are not comfortable with that, speak with them on an alternate time etc.. maybe go to pick it up half an hour early and give it?
And no, you dont have to remove the three small bolts. Just the drain bolt and whatever drains out is enough.

+1 I do this always from start.

@shivankMay be i'll stick to MRF.

Electrical

anyone has a idea of how we can use the RTR180ABS electrical system on our standard RTR to make it full DC. AS per can we use RTR 180 ABS stator coil and electrical unit and all RR's to make it full DC so one can run a 65w bulb on his standard RTR180 without going for coil rewinding?

Thank you bro for your sincere and detailed advice

Yes, i would get it done at the SVC itself as you've recommended...
