      If we can use synthetic oil which one is the best to use ...
      yes you can go for the synthetic
      or semi synthetic oils .RTR 180 grade is 20w40 . you get oils in almost all grades . i would recommend to go for a 10w40 oil . it will make your morning starts in winter easier also . The cheapest full synth i guess is the petronas 5100 10w40 . very good oil , else motul 5100 SS also is 10w40 and is good .

          seems like you guys had lots of fun...


          btw,I have a query.How much does a good hid kit cost?...or any suggestions on better bulbs for the headlamps?...Also,I had this thought.P220's tires will be a direct fit on the RTR,rite?...

            You bet, we did. But that modded RTR Fi is what blew me away.Mindblowing performance for its size

            Do not try to fit the P220's 120-section as it will rob off the performance of the bike heavily.The current 110-section is just right for the bike unless softer compound appears from other companies.

              And now the RPM's been raised to 1200..

                the RPM of 180 is 1300+-100...
                and the idling RPM never affects the mileage to the extent of puttin lines on your forhead.

                  My 180 gives 37kms/ltr only after 1st service..
                  The TVS guy told tat mileage above 42 is assured..

                    Did the RTR FI have engine works done to it? What engine mods? I thought it was just the body work.

                      buddy.... go for a HID only if you have to constantly ride on the highway at night... else its too much of a bother... too much glare to other users(others will just flip to bright on seeing you - you know, the few good guys who dim for you suddenly vanish from the roads), cop magnet... and its always good with a DC system...

                      My HID kit cost me 2k - but am seriously thinking of reverting back to stock...

                        Actually I faced similar problem due to idling, the engine gets heated up very soon and becomes rough . After that,they reduced the idling to around 1200 then it was fine. Only after that incident I came to know about the importance of idling.Ask Service guys to check the RPM.
