When I start my new rtr 180 the reps are at 3.5k. How to reduce these to the normal 1.5k 1.25k? It makes the bike really noise everytime I stop at signals or such.

I drove this babe with a pillion recently and when I'm through a speed breaker the center stand below actually hits the speed breaker. Is this problem only with my bike? I checked the bike later and the center stand was properly resting on the rest provided and still I've experienced this couple more times and then I decided not to take a pillion.

Now surprisingly, what I've observed is that there was a small pipe from inside hanging in between the center stand. I assumed it is a battery acid outpour pipe or something but I couldn't find any citation neither in the manual nor in any forums or net... Did any of you observe this? I took my bike for a 300km roadtrip. It was fine but still what is this pipe and why is the noise when there is a pillion ? why are the gears so cranky? Oh I'm starting to dislike my purchase.. If only I could've agreed to the one month delivery time of R15! Anyway no use lamenting now... GUys please tell me if you face above problems and whats the solution...

1) look near the carb of the bike. there would be a vertical screw which would support a metal part. Try opening the throttle and look there, you will notice that the metal part rises. You got to adjust that vertical screw accordingly. Its a easy task. Try adjusting your RPM with your headligts on. Keep it at 1.3k

2)Yes, When some heavy pillion sits on your bike it tends to hit the pot holes or speed brerakers. But I don think too many people are that heavy .

3) Guess you don't know anything about your bike . All bikes have a pipe hanging below and it is to drain the overflowed fuel (if im not wrong)

You have a perfect machine, don't worry Gears will be notchy in the beggining. You will notice it get smoother as ur odo counts on. Do proper run in and happy riding

btw one more small query.

When does the low fuel light above the service indicator glow? is it after the bike comes to reserve or before that? Cuz actually even if my bike was showing two bars above the R mark, it wouldn't move untill I turned the fuel knob to Reserve. Now I'm wondering what I should do, should I wait for the light to turn up? will it anywho?

Friends, got my bike serviced at 630km on odo (first service). Complained to the SVC guy about the rough gear shifts. He corrected it and filled-in fresh TVS TRU4 oil and the service was pretty good. Got my bike delivered on the same day.
He told that he had adjusted the chain a bit to bring the gear shift smoothness (hope thats possible...).

He also asked me to visit the SVC whenever I feel rough gear shifts.

Now the bike is very smooth , especially at speeds of around 70-90 kmph , I feel like flying with this bike. damn smooth.....!
