      The next teaser AD for new RTR:
      https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=352302994827643

      Can you please copy paste the Pics from FB here?
      It will benefit a lot of people to whom FB is not accessible from office

      I can sense that RTR now looks more of an commuter from the pics.
      I hope the pics doesn't do justice to the bike.
      This was the same kind of reaction from the public when we got spy pics of RTR 180 got leaked few years back, but the bike was received well when it was officially released and the ad was uploaded on youtube.

      I hope the same thing happens to this facelift as well.

            Ya, It reminds me of those bike taxis in Goa

            And the head light part looks like it has come from the bajaj stable. It resembles something like XCD or Pulsar 135.

            And the head light also looks like it has been lifted a bit. I guess if they haven't done that the bike would have looked much better

                I dont think TVS can do this type of blunder.

                    I'll also opt for the "Carbon" Rear fender, Side Panels (near the air filter) and may be the Crash guards !

                      Whenever I leave my bike idle for a long time (I always leave engine engaged in gear) I have observed that even after pressing the clutch the bike is not moving freely initially. It behaves like it is in gear and the clutch is not pressed at all(even though the clutch is pressed). After I forcebly move the bike for a couple of inches,then I get a tick sound and the bike starts moving freely with pressed clutch in gear.
                      I had faced this problem once before and I ended up with a clutch bearing broken into pieces.
                      If some one could tell me what is thecause of theproblem ... itimone extremely helpful.
                      Thx in advance.
                      Bump.
                      Guys please lets not discuss the upcoming RTR model here, there is a separate thread for it. Its a humble request.

                          I am looknig for the same too..

                          Also, can someone provide me the information of initial run-in period? like -
                          RPM and speed to maintain till 1K and thereafter,
                          First service time (at what kms/days) and things to be changed like oil,
                          2nd service period and essential changes to be taken care

                          etc etc..

                          I will get my ABS in a weeks time.

                              maintain 4k rpm till 1k km and use engine braking as much as possible.
                              Avoid pillion and heavy traffic for atleast first 500km.

                              For service regarding info read the user manual it provides every use full info

                              @santoshbs congrats welcome to the tribe

                              RIDE HARD RIDE SAFE.

                                Thanks for the info. though avoiding pillion is not possible (a married man can understand my plight well )

                                Which is the recommended oil that runs smooth on RTR180. I have seen some posts that the TVS ones arent the recommended stuff.
