      if the valves are ok my RTR looses the pressure in tyres by 4-5 PS in three weeks....
      nitrogen is not worth in these TVS tyres......
      wont make any diff as such....

        No man. With air, i was thinking the same. I filled in nitrogen 4 weeks ago, i checked the pressure 2 days back. The pressure lost was 2 Psi in rear and 1 psi in front, which was topped up free.
        There's lot to it other than saddle....

            i never knew that nitrogen makes that much diff.....
            with almost no loss in 4 weeks, i think i should switch to that too....

                Thanks, dude!!

                @Revz.Racing

                Like i told you before my bike's pulling has been reduced but i dont know the exact reason for it.Will replace the shock-absorber oil and check the springs.And will again set the steering cone/bearings. If even after that the problem persists i would go a step further in solving the problem..the e-mail way!!

                • @chicane1879: Check the Chain.Make sure it is proper set,with adequate lube(Light grease/gear oil/chain spray).It can Help in Pulling power.

                    Arrey i meant the bike pulling to the right side.Not the pulling power!!

                    • ^TVS Service is well aware of this issue.overtightening of cone set is the reason as per them.
                      --
                      I have another doubt :
                      The Left Side Air Scoop of RTR 180 got some Harness inside.There is a tube which is connected to a Heat Sink like thing.I see a slight oil leak there.What is that "transistor heat sink" like thing which is supplied Petrol by a tube?

                      • Hello all RTR 180 owners out there.... I just wanted to update that my menance is up for second service @2500 km in a couple of days - and I'm so very happy to say that I've had no problems what-so-ever until now. I'm getting a mileage of 40 +/- 1 kmpl consistently - my riding pattern is 50:50 highway:city. Has gone on two >150km rides till now.

                        • Hi Lijo ,Mine is at 1760kms as of now.I had Bike's Head gasket changed(A slight oil leak),Tappets valve clearance adjusted.Ask them specifically to do this if you want tappet noise to reduce.this reduces the noises a lot.

                          • @chicane.......i had gone to he SC on 16th...and got my Steering tightened.....but that did not solve the pulling issue....now i did leave my bike with them last evening and they said they will check and let me know what the cause is.....

                              • Read in another biking forum from a very very reliable person that an RTR 180 with ABS is on its way. It was at ARAI it seems and this guy was very impressed with the way the bike was stopping from speeds of 70 kph.
