A small test ride experience --


However, there are couple of things that I would like to clarify from 180 owners --

1. Is the fuel tank loose in all the 180s? As this was the case with that bike and I was told that it is loose in all the bikes! I irritatingly replied that "tvs ki bikes mein fuel tank loose hota hai shaayad!!"...this was for that stupid ass mechanic!

2. Are NVH levels really so high? 'cause it has really put us off. This wasn't the case with 160 when we first rode it. If this is the case, then this will cause good discomfort even in small rides.

Ya , will go there , but i dont think they will have any good solutions ... thtz my last resort

i just liked this pic , so sharing it with u guys

So, no way can you blame me for referring TVS tyres as good.For a simple reason,as far as they are good to me why should i complain?

the paint peeling off from alloys is the thing i experienced too....
but the rusting seems too much...

No Rust Problems as of yet.I guess ,the coastal region will make rusting faster on most vehicles.

Good pic bro and nice lid you got there, but isn't it unsafe riding without rear view mirrors?

not a fault of the disc or the pads....

i'm talking about a brake fade like i mentioned and reported when i was driving at constant 90-110kmph, was taking leans and braking in between them, and the course of road that was almost resembled as a track....

that whole driving and braking thing was goin on for good 8-10kms and after that the disc got numb, i braked and accelerated so much at that time that the front was showing the signs of fading too....

this is quite normal, in this series of twists and turns cuz when i found a 2km straight stretch i maintained 110-125 with givin a single tap to both the brakes and they cooled off in the process making them back to their normal ferocious biting again..





the tyres are good (TVS) in dry and when you're puttring around the city and going straight...

try putting your knee down, try accelerating hard out of a corner,try hard front braking while entering a turn, and TRY just turning on a wet tarmac using them and you wont say what you just said in the bolds....


vibrations-5300-6400+-200
smoothness (and i mean butter):0-5000 and then from 7000-8600+
200..

noice- it's simply gives you a eargasm.

harshness- the engine sounds rough not harsh, there's a thin line of diff between the two....
