@renny:TVS says running-in is (un)officially till 3000kms.

It has happened a zillion times and that's why i am confused to leave the clutch-gradually or instantaneously?If u REV te accelerator too much in first gear and leave te clutch abruptly te front wheel will lift...
After u change it to te second leave te clutch quickly and rev it high till it reaches 60 KM....
Hope i helped u..
wat mileage r u getting..?
Never crossed the 35kmpl mark ever since the first service..Blame it on my riding style or anything else but thats the max.i am getting..
Thanks bro..I will go clutchless the next time...and after 8000RPM you can do clutchless shifts without harming the clutch and gearbox,remember always do it at high RPM's like i mentioned here above 8000, that'll help you to shave some millisecs off ur time...Last edited by shivank; 11-02-2009, 02:51 PM.If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!Comment

You are aware that normal bike 4 stroke bike engine have valves for inlet & exhaust. These valves needs to opened and closed at correct intervals when the piston is approaching TDC (Top Dead Center) or BDC (Bottom Dead Center).Originally posted by shokhatri View Post
This opening/closing is achieved by a cam-shaft and rocker arm assembly. The rocker arm mates to the spring-loaded valve stem. The clearance between the rocker-arm end and the valve stem end is called "Valve Tappet Clearance". This clearance is critical for the smooth operation of the engine.
As new parts heat-up quickly they may close the clearance and lead to malfunction of the engine. So, the manufacturer purposely keeps this clearance a "bit high" for new bikes. After running-in or during the first service, the tappets are adjusted to the specified value.
Hope this helps...

Friends,
What engine oil are you using for the Menace?
Can anyone share their experience with the "Shell Advance 4T " oil?
Can I use that for my Apache 180?
Also, somebody can share their experience of using fuel additives...Bardahl, Iftex are recommended by TVS in the user manual. What u guys say about that?
I live in Bangalore, I tried for fuel additives in JC Road, people over there are not understanding what I mean
!
Where can I get fuel additives in Bangalore..?Comment

@bala_racing: Why not stick with TVS-TRU4?Change the Oil in near intervals;
What I did was changed the Engine Oil and Oil Filter at 150kms When My Bike was new.Then ,First Free Service(Obviously Oil+filter changed) when odo showed 540kms.Again Changed at 1500kms on Odo.

Regarding Oil ,Check that the Oil is JASO MA2 Compliant.I have had a bad experience with "elf moto 4 gold" oil which is not upto the standard.Another Mineral Engine Oil Suggested in This thread is "Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20W40".Stick to Mineral till 4000kms.Comment

@bala_racing , Thnx for the update. Am worried about the kids who scratch the tanks and peel of the stickers

I've checked with Tristar TVS guy for the remote lock. He said that it will drain the battery soon and may damage the electrical coil (ignition, I suppose

Friends,
I have taken my new pearl white angel for a ride within Bangalore city. I've clocked 100 km till now. The pick-up is nice.
I'm feeling the vibes
, but not a big issue as compared to the pick-up and speed. Brakes gives me enough confidence for city ride.
My friend who sat in the pillion complained about the comfort. He says that the seat is too hard to sit for long.
During the city ride, almost every eyes turned on my angel. I'm very proud to take it for the cruise.
Really struggling hard to keep it within 50 kmph (as I'm still running-in) , the speed goes easliy to 60-70 kmph while I try to overtake some Pulsar or FZ..!!Comment

The Elf Moto4 Gold is a very good oil particularly for the RTR. Good quality and thick. Reduces some vibes.Originally posted by prakash_mvpa View Post
Wow... probably the best shot of an RTR. It looks yummy... creamy... just want to eat it off my cup.
