            • My problem is solved. The ignition wire was the culprit. Changed it.
              Now the funny part...Bike was getting serious jerks at lower RPMs since last some of days... The mechanic removed the choke cable. Yes... the choke cable permanently,and the bike is back to its smooth self.... When I asked him,"wont it be a problem in future??", he replied "You havnt used the choke since last 3 years(hence its jammed), and U wont need it for next 3 as well " . Seriously??
              So friends,I found Another culprit for our ever friendly jerks...... The CHOKE Cable. Just get rid of it, If you dont stay in cold region.


              @sahbaz: Why the special treatment for you only from TVS?? You bought some of their stakes or what??. :P

                  What problem(s) are you facing.?
                  Even during my service too they told that my diaphragm needs to be replaced ,,,they told its around 350 rs...they showed me the diaphragm,,,it was not ruptured or anything but it had lost its elasticity.
                  I have completed 15400 kms on my RTR 180.
                  They have told me to replace it during my next service.

                  They have also told me to replace the chain and sprocket assembly as I had complained during the last service that the chain is making too much of noise and is becoming loose frequently.

                  Please suggest what to do ..should i listen to the SVC and replace both as I have completed 15000 kms on my RTR 180.

                  Thanks in advance.

                      The carb. diaphragm will cost you Rs630 (including tax & fitting charges)..
                      My bike's diaphragm had to be changed due to ill-fitted race filters which ruptured the diaphragm.. Get the carb. cleaned first & change the diaphragm during the next service..
                      The chain n sprocket tend to go weak after 13-14 k km..The SVC mechanic told me to change the set at the 15k mark.It costs Rs1175. Get it done during service..

                        Thanks a lot for the reply

                        But in my case the diaphragm is not ruptured or anything,,,

                        What are the symptoms of a improper functioning diaphragm ?

                        Ya I agree I had jerks at low RPM which made like the bike is going to switch of anytime bt is this due to the damaged diaphragm ?

                        The SVC mechanic had told me that due to the damaged diaphragm the bike will loose on power when accelerating initially and the pick up of the bike will suffer , I don't know how much of this is correct, but after he told that I feel like I'm certainly loosing on pick up..

                        How to make sure don't know ?

                        Ya I will definitely change the chain sprocket assembly at next service

                        • hey guys,
                          how much should i expect for a 4 year old RTR Fi. About 25k kms done.
                          thanks.

                            I dont think it will fetch more than 35-38K as Fi is no longer in production. If you are able to sell it for more,you would be extremely lucky. I inquired last month,my 3 years(40 K kms) old RTR 180 is fetching 43K. Well I didnt sell,coz I wasnt intending to sell actually .

                              FI is in demand atleast in Bangalore, you should get a good price(>40k)

                              That is the catch, demand for FI is more than carb versions of 160, if its a carb only yellow bikes are preferred.
                              Drum brake model black,gray are not hot now. Only FIs & ABS versions of RTRs will fetch you good money.

                              • Changed my airfilter from stock to that of GS150R @ 30k kms.
                                Sound has some noticeable change @ low rpms.
                                I'm not sure if there is a difference in pickup because of this or not, there is a definite increase in pickup but it might also be due to the servicing...
