But once you've tasted the throttle response of rtr, you'll forget about the mileage. I bought the 160 instead of 180 for mileage but i forgot about mileage after tasting the thrill and have even regretted my decision sometimes. If you want that mileage with performance, get a p135. That's the best bet.
    By harsh i meant, he doesn't cares about his bike much.
    If im to live with 40 kmpl wouldn't Pulsar 200NS be a better choice. At least i'll ENJOY the ride....

      I'm talking about sane city riding conditions, not much of throttle twisting....
      Again you are being too optimistic here. Being an RTR owner I know it wont give you 45kmpl

        Umm ok!
        Am not saying that i'm not believing you...!
        It's just that i've heard a lot of opinions from a lot of owners so it's just confusing, i remember some 160 owners telling me they gets 50-55kmpl...!
        Anyways thanks for your help!!

          Didn't noticed this thing as such. May be because of sharp edges in belly pan its more noticeable in new 180.

            I'v got white smoke solved but the engine vibes & noise has increased .It sounds like some component has broken off inside & is hitting against the moving parts in the crankcase .This issue started after the latest repair work.One more issue has popped up,the front brake has become very weak,its like no brakes.TVS service mechanics refuse to accept the problems including the weakened brakes. What shoul I do.?? The bike is just out of warrenty.

              Run to SVC now, piston valves the culprit here. Brake pad must have lost its life. What more important is the engine now.

                Done with the 5th and final free service.Changed the TPS, the hiccups are gone now replaced engine oil with Shell AX7, bike feels smoother now.
                The handle was a bit stiff/jammed, greased it and change the front fork oil, it absorbs the humps/potholes much better now.
                Overall the mechanic did a very good job.

                  Thank you prateek2210, will get it fixed asap.
                  Guys, know any proper mechanic in B'lore, who can fix the tappet problem i'm facing.?
                  Any specific mods which might improve the engine performance?? I was thinking of replacing the stock tyres with pirelli MT 75 or Sport Demon. Any other suggestions..
                  I have fitted a HID on my beast,should i fit a relay or change anything else..??

                    Sports Demon is not there in RTR 180 size but you will feel more planted with Pirellis , be it MT or SD

                    Yours is the AC supply RTR, correct. Long use of HID will eat up the battery. This thread (Click Me) will help you in the conversion

                      @pranav_salieri : Check the electrolyte level and get the battery checked through volt-meter. I seldom remember using kick start on my bike and the battery is still working fine.


                      thanks ill do it but what about the engine shut off for a few kms during mornings or after a long gap without usage????

                      has anyone enquired about the new rear cowl fitment????

                        If the battery is not getting charged enough it wont start after a gap. What is the idle rpm that you have kept?

                            1.1 is low IMO, but do check the battery and then have a look for ngine shut off issue

                              After First service somedays back bike is feeling a bit sluggish. There is a bit of break pressure on both wheels by default. And after 5k rpm bike feels a bit jerky. The guy at service center cleaned the sparkplug by a cloth, may be he misaligned the sparkplug head???

                                After clicking 41k kms on my ride, i am on third set of rear tyre and second on Front.

                                Used TVS, IRC and now on MRF Zapper C.

                                IRC lasted for just 16k kms, blame it to my high speed rides to home
                                I think still it can be used till 20K kms. Experience was good with IRC.

                                Now lets see how MRF perform.
