            Can u please explain this part?
            You can only ride better tomorrow if you ride safe today.

                    Yap! The bore of 180 is 62.5 and that of 160 is 62.

                      In cars, the squealing sound is associated with a gone brake pad. Dont know about bikes, someone can confirm.
                      If the bike was all dry and RTR doesnt has problems of rear disc noise, i guess your brake pads are gone too , how many kms has your RTR done?

                            suppose you're running in fourth gear at 50 and you need to get into third, so just press the clutch blip the throttle( blipping refers to opening the throttle with a sudden effect, but ot much very little in this process) and simultanously press the shifter to third, you should be doin this in one sec once you get into practice...
                            that will give you positive shifts.

                              I think they are gone then!
                              I've only completed 2600km..

                                Ok got that. But can you please explain whats the logic behind this technique? i mean why does it help in getting positive shifts? And should the same technique be followed while upshifting?
