    Yes, before an oil change such a ride would make the oil hot and would drain out quicker. The person who do the job (oil change) should be very careful though.
    Thanks guys... and i used to follow the morning tip of revving up engine before taking off.. and change the filter too. Thanks again...cheers..!!

          Guys, my ride is back to bone stock setup.

          1. Joel's tuned FFE - Did make riding a super experience. But, the dB levels (without dB cutter is max fun to ride and hear) made me revert back to stock exhaust. I did get the dB cutter though. No, the cops never stopped me. I just felt, it's enough

          2. Simota air filter - Not in use as the FFE is removed. Plus, not much of a gain unless mounted directly on the Carb, which i don't want to.

          No regrets Our's is an absolute hoot to ride without any mods. TVS didn't just say 'Street legal, but just barely'.

          @vrags
          Guess this post might answer one of your queries too

            Help me

            Guys i noticed There is something inside engine making rubbing sound /grr/grr/ when ever i leave clutch and accelerate . As per my imagination its some thing rotating in circular motion and at some point its touch/rubbing something. At first i thought it was rear disk but it not it, problem is internal.. I dont know whats in there. It get faster was speed increases.

            any one reading me?

                I strongly suspect its a tappet valve sound. does it gets louder when u revv up or while riding? if while riding, i reckon it could also be with chain link.. throw up some more details.. we cn help u out...

                  if making kat kat sound,better to tighten up the valve tappets

                    Yes as i revv sound is faster not louder.. Like in 3 rpm it will be 2times per sec and increases as i rise . If its chain link the sound should be on even when m not reving right , but as i stop reving the sound stops what ever may be the speed.!!

                      I have started to hate my RTR 180 more and more day by day :@
                      hiccups and misfiring followed by hard shifts and false neutral even after using shell advance ax7

                      Today I went to the svc to get a new spark plug as I suspect it to be the main casue of hiccups, the SVC dont have the spark plug and it will be come after 12 to 15 days

                      And one more thing the svc dont want to accept that my bike is giving hiccups :@

                                Actually the gap on the spark plug is not correct that is why I suspect it to be the culprit.

                                I don't think any good will do by shooting mail to TVS as there mech. are a**holes.
                                Previously my fuel tank was leaking from below the fuel sensor, they changed the fuel sensor the 1st time but the problem continued, even after requesting for tank change they kept solid to there point that the problem was not with the tank and I had to suffer fuel wastage for 3 times, till the 3rd time they changed the fuel tank. If they would have taken my suggestion i would have been saved the 3rd time this all happened even after sending mails to TVS
