    I dont think this will affect bikes as much as it affects cars, as car tires have more surface contact area than a bikes tire which is curved and can cut through water easily.

      Its a term used by local kid's here to describe an aggressive cornering angle in which the foot pegs scrape and sparks fly.

        maybe but its quite a moment when it does happen!

        anyway, it happened to me on a splendor once and have been very careful since then.

        hasn't occurred on my r15. the grip from the tires is pretty good even in the wet. even when it starts to slide its controllable.
        so maybe it's depends on the tire too.

        btw, i know some racers have used the rear tire from the r15 v1 on the apache with success. what other tire options are available for the rtr?

          Need help,
          The bike tilts to left, you take your hand off or if you don’t plunge onto the handle, it just takes a left turn.
          Going crazy about this. Any Bangalore SVC that can help me out in solving this??
          My bikes front shocks are in good condition.

          When i apply the front brake, the bike (front part) kinda keeps bouncing(jerks). As if the pistion are holding and letting go at the same time, Could this be a problem with the front pistons?

          I can feel this jerks or bouncing while on slow speeds, like 20.

          I'm fed up of going to Tristar TVS, the customer service is good-but the mechanics problem resolution is not worth.

            Must be used by local kids in Kerala who try to copy people and act cool.
            All I meant was I tried to tilt it as much as possible while cornering. And I respect and love my bike. Won't allow it to touch the road just to see sparks fly.

                LOL. 3rd time for you, 5th time for me(It comes back after every 7-8K kms or so). Now I have given up. I now shift my bike at 5K RPM. I have forgotten whats it like, riding at less RPM . Thank God I am still getting milege above 40KMPL.
                I did 4 different things in my last 4 atempts.- Carb cleaning(this was least effective, and lasted the least), TPS cleaning, TPS changing, Getting rid of Choke Cable.
                Now have run out of option, of what will I do next. Hence avoiding rides at 2-3K RPMs....
                If you havnt done these things, Id advice you to do....

                  Is the TPS issue existent only in RTR180 or does it exist in RTR160 too? Cause I have never faced the TPS issue in 11.2K km...

                    Well, frankly I believe its not a TPS issue. Its something else. And as for you, I would say , wait, just a matter of time, You will start facing it .
                    Well If am scaring you, dont worry, its not that big an issue. You will eventually get used to it, and totally forget it after some time.(Like the vibs).
                    And may be, the 160s dont have that prob. 160 Owners can enlightenus....

                      How exactly do you know if you have the tps issue.? Do you mean the popping sound when the accelerator is released without holding clutch on a low gear.?

On my usual route there is a flyover where we usually ride around 40 - 50KPH for around 5KM. After that part we enter the normal slow moving traffic part. The road was quite greasy here. As soon as I entered that road the rear end lost traction completely :O I was doing just 25 - 30 KPH and my bike is fishtailing OMG. At first I thought it was a puncture, but No. It's our TVS tyres. I had my nuts, heart and everything in my mouth at that moment lol. I don't know if its my riding style or not but just could not ride the bike at all. I was losing traction even under acceleration. My tyres are just 11K KM old. What do you guys say? Should I buy new tyres or should I tweak my riding style?
                        Yes .. This is my only complaint too... I don't get any confidence riding my bike in wet roads.. It skids a lot even is low speeds... :-( Me too thinking to change tyres....

                          I did the servicing last week and had told the mechanic that i feel a lag at 3k-4k RPM.Instead he cleaned the carburretor and said that the TPS is fine.
                          But today the bike is running all fine.Even yesterday everything was OK, i felt the lag in the evening.Should i change the TPS?

                            Change it. The jerks will go away for next 6-7 K kms. it costs around Rs.450 IIRC.

                              Bro, it costs around INR 120.Should i get it replaced at Susil Motors?

                                I was facing exactly similar problem. My bike was tilting towards left which was because of rear wheel misalignment. I told manager at Tristar to correct the alignment and that fixed it.

                                This must be because of bent disc plate. It was as if I had a mechanical ABS :P SVC told me to change the plate and it costs 1200. I took it to a mechanic and he smoothened the disc a little using lathe. This solved the problem but I would recommend getting the plate changed if that is the culprit in your case.

                                Hope this helps
