    Stick to mineral oils for atleast 2k kms,after that you can switch to semi-synthetic.Also try SHELL advance 20W40 mineral oil,pretty good oil.

    Some days it takes up to 10-12 kicks for engine to start
    Any additional thoughts on this
    Have you checked the idle rpm setting?Set it at 1.3k rpm when the engine is hot.Plus do check the air filter and carb setting.

    EDIT:Welcome back Nisnth,nice pics there.

    A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                      TVS has not yet released the kit
                      The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

                          Bro, TVS Tru4 Premium 10W30 is a semi-synthetic 4T oil developed by TVS exclusively for 4 stroke bikes. Just for your info, 10W30 is the grade used by Hero Honda on their bikes. OK, so this grade is used in bikes too. AFAIK, fully synthetic 4T oils are not available in 20W40, 20W50 grades. FS oils come in 5W40, 10W40, 10W50 & 15W50 grades. You'll get good quality mineral oils and some with synthetic blends in 10W30, 10W40, 20W40, 15W50 & 20W50 grades from Elf, Gulf, Motul, Shell, Valvoline, etc., in addition to Tru4.

                          Yes, what you've said is right, W40, W50 grades are ideal for hot Indian conditions

                          Used 20W-50 Oil.

                          Just what was left coz of Dussera is Air Filter, Both Brake-Pads.

                                K&N Filters

                                Hey Guys,
                                I m thinking of installing a K&N on my RTR180 in a month's time. What About Performance?
                                What About Fuel Economy?

                                Tomorrow I Am Going To Change By Disc Pads, Air Filter.
                                Just installed NGK Spark Plug, changed rear bike hub shoe, which made bike very smooth. There is no sound from rear wheel at all. Bike has been gradually smooth. I will be doing all that to reduce my bikes vibrations.

                                I had done 6-8 servicing at SVC but bike was never so good.
