Answer in bolds!!Originally posted by rng View PostCompleted 100kms on my new bike! The rush of power is awesome.. Trying very hard to keep it under 50kmph.
I have a few problems though:
The gearbox is a bit tight! Rode my friend's classic apache and that was butter smooth. Is it just a matter of time mine becomes like that?
Yes it will smoothen out itself after 2k kms.And if it doesnt then you need to adjust the clutch.
Finding neutral is hard when the engine is running. Is it by design? Should I hold the clutch, brakes and the engage the first gear when I am waiting at a red signal for a short period?
Yes, you can do that!!
Had a small scratch near the place where the 'RTR 180' is written on the sides. How do I rectify it?
If it's small then try applying good polish.
Also, Would love to have the gear's position changed a tad bit higher. I read in the manual that this can be done.. Can we also get a heel shifter fit to the RTR?
I am not sure about that!!Comment

I see other bikes comfortably in Neutral with their engines on, while standing in traffic. What's the funda behind this?Comment

It can definitely be done. Here's how.Originally posted by rng View Post
1. Remove the bolt that holds the 'boss' which connects the linkage rod to the gear shaft coming out of the gearbox.
2. Loosen the lock nut on the linkage rod.
3. Rotate the boss on the linkage so that the gear lever is now at the height that you need.
4. Fit the boss back to the shaft and tighten both the lock nut and the boss nut.
note: if the adjustment is excessive you may also need to loosen the lock nut at the other end of the linkage rod (lever-end) and then rotate the linkage rod at that end too to get an optimum setting.Comment

Yes, around that much only. I bought a 160 cover for one of my friend, costed some 95 bucks, IIRC. Dunno if they have increased the price or not, thereafter.Originally posted by onlinesatish View PostComment

Probably you didn't apply enough force while shifting gear, and the gear stuck in between and got shifted only when you started releasing the clutch(that is why you experienced the jerk).Don't worry, it's normal
You need to adjust the chain every 500kms for slackness.Comment
