    • ^^Power to weight ratio,gearing and throttle response all play major role in drag timings..But there'd be a point in time where the lower cc will run out of steam which is exactly the case here,,
      If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

          NO.

          The front sproaket need not to be changed, one can shave off tooths from the rear sproaket without changing the front.

          And shaving off one tooth from the front has the same affect as shaving off two from the rear.

          On 220 and RTR180 comparo, lets stop it here guys.
          but i would like to add that given on the right hands the RTR180 can smoke the 220 too, on track and on 0-60 timings.

            Areey Renny JI! I was talking about If someone shaves more than required teeths like company provides 40 and one wants 36 teeths then front too needs change.(I maybe wrong, becuz this knoweldge is by my experience).

            Right Hands=Renny Am I right!

              No, one can fit 36 tooth rear sproaket directly too, all he'll be getting then is super top speed at the expense of the acceleration.

              Well you're right on the Right hands department there.

                  As i said earlier, you will get used to it with time and after you are comfortable with it, you might find tall karizma type handlebars making you feel uncomfortable. Yes that happened with me after i tried riding a Karizma. My shoulders were aching.

                  And i am thinking of replacing the stock tyres of RTR 180 with P220 front and R15's rear Tyre.
                  Can u suggest me a Tyre with good grip having same size as that of stock one --- 110/80 - 17 other than R15 Zapper S which is 100/80 - 17.
                  The only 110/80 17" rear tyre that you can get in India is an IRC one. One of the xbhp members posted its pic at the tyres thread. See if you can find it in your city.

                  But dont shave off more than two tooths as then it'll put dent on the acceleration.
                  How much increase in speed can i expect?
                  You can only ride better tomorrow if you ride safe today.

                  • One question guys??? Is RTR 180 DC or AC?
                    Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipment

                        It's AC bike, only Yammies and Bajji's have DC right now in their bikes.

                        • before 3 months i posted a query in "what bike section " about choosing between rtr180,zma & p220,and most of the xbhpians suggested me to go for zma,i booked a red zma 1 month before,but last week i received a call saying that i want to wait one month more,so dropped the plan and today visited bajaj showroom and tvs showroom to enquire about the p220 and A180
                          Apart from the performance can u suggest the maintenance of the two bikes,bcoz i cannot spent too much time with ma bike

                            Both the bikes are VFM, But, going by a better choice it will be anytime P220 becoz of its Projectors, Mileage close to A180, vibe. free nature, oil cooler.

                            Both the bikes are totally different. Apache 180 will be best commuter tobe choosed under 200cc segment and above 200cc+ P220 rules nonetheless.

                              • Hey Guys bought Grey Apache RTR 180 today evening.
                                There were two colors, white and grey, but my friends suggested that Grey looks better than white so took grey apache 180.
                                Thanks to all of you for your help and support.
                                Can you tell me at what speed should i ride my bike for 1000 kms, is it below 40 km/hr or 4k rpm.
                                And i want to change my stock Tyre as soon as possible, i knw about R15 read and p220 front, are there any better option other than these two?
                                When approaching a corner, stay on the gas until you see Jesus. Then brake HARD.
