      Phew!

      Well now I bet on my previous post..Yes there's some friction buster and some detergents and additives and zillion of chemicals which collide and make nuisance and help smoothing the throttle response irrespective of comp.ratio..!..
      If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

        Any problem that you can think of? Will soon give my bike to first service. Didn't ride it above 5k rpm, but have gone past 65 a few times.. hope it hasn't spoiled the bike!
        The same thing happened to me today... I had plenty of fuel in the tank...

            Your secondary jet is chocked, get it cleaned.


            @kukku035:

            Use multiquote option.
            Woah.. where can I find it? Will probably get it done with the first service.

              Quick throttle is a device which makes the Full throttle in just 1/4 turn of the normal throttle travel.
              Generally used in motocross,as on day to day basis it's a useless device.

              Jets are at the carb, get both the jets cleaned.

                  Rs. 749/-

                  Original plastic parts are frightfully expensive and sometimes 'local' dupes are a cheap alternative if they are of decent quality.

                    I was thinking of replacing my FI's grey front with black, but now i think i can get it painted at much cheaper rate, but the problem is,TVS doesnt sells the stickers of RTR

                        They sell the stickers. Dont know the cost but i have seen them in Decals drawer of innovative TVS, bhandup.
                        There's lot to it other than saddle....

                          That's very good news you told me Nox
                          I'll enquire one more time, actually my front mudguards sticker is having a scratch, that was gifted to me at the parking lot, so when i went to the showroom for the replacement he refused.

                          Will go today again.

                          • If they refuse, just ask to see the parts manual, find the part number for the stickers and tell them to order that part. Be tough with them!

                            • Lately i am seeing many bikes other than the RTR sporting the racing stripes. Seems like the stripes are catching people's fancy!!

                                Get a Chain cover like the old Apache

                                2)Engine noise(chuck chuck like sound..may be its of valves...donno...but it is really annoying)

                                Can you be more specific?is it vibes or noise?Pour in semi synthetic oil will solve the vibes problem to an extent!

                                3)Vibes at front headlight fairing & console...starts hell out at 5.5-6k...

                                see if any nut is loose around the headlight

                                your bike is new so should not have such problem.have the bike faced any impact during accident?
