As far as I remember the RTR doesn't have a rev limiter. I think your engine maxed out at 9k Rpm in 5th. I went upto 11.5k in 4th gear.

Thanks to both of you. My tank is half full I'll try it out after it is empty.

Thats Joels exhaust and i have his 190 cc big bore.

Performance is good.... have done 0-60 in 3.3 seconds using the inbuilt timer. Guess 100 also reaches in about 10 seconds.

Half cut visor is something i did ..as i like it that way. Thinking of removing the headlight assembly and just make it simple with some projector or something.

What do you mean by maxed out?
Is it a problem of engine which I have to seriously look into? Its just 15k in odo.
Well so far I have got only 126km/hr as my top speed.
Or maybe I should shift the gear to 5th only after ripping to max (11.5k as u mentioned) in 4th gear.
Or do I have to make it run rich to attain this. Because as of now its set to default/optimum by the SVC.
Also I have read somewhere that RTR does have a rev limitter & its based on flywheel.
The other news I have read is RTR 180 doesn't have while RTR 160 has rev limitter.
Also AFAIK rev limitters are there for all bikes (don't know about sports bike, I'm talking about normal bikes for public) as it is required for the longevity of the engine life. I have heard the SVC guys saying the same stuff that RTR has rev limitters.
I dont know which is fact & which is fiction.
Could anyone give me a little better insight into this with some official company documented proof or something from trusted source as it will be really helpful.

Engine being maxed out means the point where your engine simply cannot provide anymore power against the wind and rolling resistance. It defines the limit of the engine. It is perfectly normal don't worry.

Here are some links providing reviews for the RTR which say that it doesn't have a rev limiter.

You are right that rev limiters are required, but when the RTR was introduced TVS intended to come out with performance parts for the RTR so they didn't include a rev limiter.

Why its necessary to have REV limiter ? :O

Rev limiters are provided to cut the power from the engine when it reaches high RPMs as operating the engine at high RPMs causes damage to internal parts.

I know & I Agreed, I am talking about our context, where this guy want REV Limiter....

If you know your Bike & its limitation then i dont find it any reason to burn your engine ...its advantage of not having Limiter in RTR i feel

Correct me if i am wrong ..

OH! Right. Sorry I thougt you were asking me.
I completely agree with you. One of the many advantages of the RTR. It has two characters, when riding sanely we can shift it at 5k RPM. When we want to unleash its power we can rip upto 11k.

anybody Teflon Coating (Waxing) brand/Company ?? with Price if possible

Thanks for the links yaar. I also searched out & every blog its written that there are no rev limitters for RTR hyperedge. Previously I had read somewhere in xbhp say an year back that rev limitters are there for 160 & not 180. That's why I thought of querying it out here, if anyone knows the value. Also thanks for explaining the engine getting maxed out stuff. There was heavy winds & I had an heavy bag too along with me when I was traveling & maybe that might be the issue.

I feel there is nothing wrong in querying out our doubts here...right?? I don't agree with the fact that Rev limiters are not at all required, though I stay with your point that if we know the limitation of the bike we don't require to know it..But to know the limitation yourself you should push it to the extreme end & sometimes that extreme end might do damage to your bike engine which is where this rev limiters can turn out to be helpful...This is something that caught my eyes last time during the trip. I couldn't pass 9k in 5th gear no matter whatever I do. So that's why I got confused..

I got it done for my bike for around 500/- some year back.
Brand name is DuPont. Check the below link for more details.

Always happy to help man.

Why is teflon coating needed? I've always heard it at car showrooms. But i never figured out what it is used for. Does it save your paint from getting scratched or is it just a polish to bring shine to the paint?

It can prevent small sort of scratches but not the deep ones.
It acts as an extra protective layer on the paint.
Its worth doing especially if your bike is black color.

No Offence bro I was just speaking frankly,

Remember TVS hasn't got any REV Limiter coz they are planning to give up-gradation kit for RTR, which might unleash power beyond Red-Line...

And RTR isn't made for Top/High Speed performance, its for great Mid-Range Torque... one Cannot beat this Menace till 80/kph but after that RTR got no chance...
And Do you think pushing your bike to 12kRPM will Damage Engine Part at sudden ? ? ?
Once in month to push limit with RTR is fine but everyday unleashing its Red line at 4th/5th Cog isn't a Wise move...

Remember "Entry level Racing", this is the bike to improve your Performance & Skills to a Great extent with Amazing Handling...
