So AX7 is indeed a better oil right? I've just started to use it...

BTW, i could shift gears 80% of the time butter smoothly with Tru4, valvoline minerals

, i don't know, somehow i could. Yeah, it took lots of patience to find the right way.
Thank you bud for the OD mag info, definitely going to buy it. I always knew A180 could be that close to the R15...and yes, only our ride could stand a chance with the yammie

Gearshifts are still hard!

Would be helpful to know if there's any drop in oil level?

And,I think with better tires the RTR could have done well..

@shivank-i think even then everyone will agree that RTR is the place to be in if you ride in city limits. i think still RTR 180 is a better all round bike. but if TVS can improve the quality and reduce vibes!

Yes,more practical than the R15 anyday.I have no issues with quality or vibrations.What I want to get rid of is bad/inefficient A.S.S!

I have question: Can we retrofit the ABS kit in the RTR 180? Did anyine check that out? I know people asked that question just when the RTR ABS was out, wanted to confirm if someone asked their local SVC station about it.

I guess,you cannot retrofit the ABS.Read it in OD mag where TVS officials were asked about the same..

I've just started to use this oil, in fact from last week only. I think the engine is running more smoothly, and is not getting as hotter as before

BTW, i found from another thread that after around 500km riding, oil level might drop by 100ml approx, and you've got to top it up

I think you ride a lot and that might be the reason... But if the drop is much more than that, you should take the bike to the SVC

Bought OD mag and very much enjoyed the performance of RTR 180 around the track.
So very close to the YZF R15 in lap times plus getting more star rating than the P220F and the ZMR, both having extra 40CC's is indeed a big deal !!!
Pride is kicking in, God forgive...

He said wiring harness, magneto would need replacement. harness was about 3k something and magneto under 600rs. though he was not sure if other parts would be needed.

Pics with 120/80 rear tyre on rtr 180. the main stain does not retract easily because the new tyre is about 8 mm higher than standard one so the tyre touches the ground much earlier and robs the momentum needed to completely fold up the stand. Other than that road holding and straight line stability is much improved. Slight pick up loss. Still running in so wont know much about it too

Yes he said about the charger too. will have to call him in a few days as some parts were not available. but still cant use higher wattage bulbs as even the new setup supports only 35W lamps. IMO rr replace and rewinding is the only viable option, if you don't care about warranty.

OT:Anyone read this month's OverDrive magazine.They have pitched CBR alongside all other bikes,including the RTR180.Interesting to see that the RTR is not even a full second slower than the R15 around the track.

Nice to hear that. Will be buying the mag rightaway!!

I had this problem couple of time. Local mechanic manually set the needle to 0 and pressed it. Not a complicated job and no need to change anything.

Thanks for the tip but today i noticed that the needle is resting before the 0 mark!!

Dunno what to do, seems like the speedo has gone kaput. Dont want to replace the speedo again. Will lose 17000 kms of odo reading!!

+1

It's so much more fun than everything else presently available in the market. Only the 2-strokers would provide as much fun!!

**pranav_salieri** · 05-30-2011, 08:24 PM
