          • Just gave the Bike for Service today for fixing the "Thud" Sound from Front(cone set or fork issue),Idle rpm fixing etc.Idle RPM as per service centre guy is 1400rpm.But ,when I took delivery of RTR180 ,it was at 2000rpm!
            Completed 230kms IIRC.Here ,it is Heavy Rain for past one week or so.so ,no trips yet.

              Did you ask them to use some other engine oil besides TRU4?

                    go for castrol power1,or petronas....

                    shifting the gears at half cluth will F#%@ ur plates and damage the gearbox too...
                    next time he tells u that,show him the finger.....

                      • Other than first n second gear, rest of the gears can be upshifted with just MINIMAL pressure on the clutch, with proper throttle control .. I guess thats what that Mechanic was trying to say.. lol.

                            Followed up with Showroom sales guy, (one of the worst salesperson ever seen) the guy who places the order, the TVS area sales manager. Lost the count of phone calls made to these people.

                            Had booked on 1st of august and got the bike on 28th of august.
                            guess i was a lot luckier for the shorter wait..

                            • Had an accident today , while coming back from college.i was going at 40 then i realised that i forgot to were my helmet , so i slowed down the bike very slowly to almost 5 (i was searchin for neutral),and even i moved to the leftmost postion on the road. BOOM!!! i think it was a discover or a shine whch hit me at abt 60 (i assume) from the back , the bike is a new one and the driver is a faculty at my college ,its absolutely his fault. he along with his frndz were going back to the city , he was tryin to overtake his frnd who was driving a car (YES THESE PPL ARE THE FACULTY IN MY COLLEGE). as soon as the accident occurred one senr faculty came to us and shouted at us "What is that driving??". i told him that v were almost going at 0 speed then he stopd , he was talkin without even knowing what happend,As soon as he hit , i was able to stop the bike from fallin suddenly , used a single leg to stop , now that leg is hurting badly. my frnd who was behind fell down ,no damage done to any person. my tail lights , rear mudguard and saree guard and my helmet are completely damaged and needs to be replaced, silencer and crash guard have minor scratches. Expected Cost ~2.5k.
