Forgot to mention, Spark Plug was changed during the service.

Before that, spark plug cover was replaced.Rear Tail lamp Assembly and Speedo console was replaced under warranty.Except these nothing has been replaced till date.

Beautiful first pic, the bike looks lovely.

13K's in 10 months!!!
My bike is close to two years old now, and my odo shows 9400.

Bleeding was done pretty early, were the brakes too spongy??
And dont forget to relace the fork oil after 3000kms,as they are taking quite a beating with your stoppies as mentioned by you.

Are you into too much of a burnouts, and where is the smoking RTR180 pic then

??
The centre area of the tyre has gone out completely .

And very good avg figures you're getting man, too good for a 180CC machine,that too carbed.
My bike drops to 35kmpl when ridden hard.

PS:
keep the pics flowing.

Thanks, Rahul

Well burnouts hasnt been done on the bike till now.Wheelies and Stoppies only.The front fork oil was replaced with the Castrol ones by the local mechanic where i service my Victor to ward off those noise coming from front when the bike had some 6-7k kms on odo.

Yes the brakes seemed to have lost slight bite particularly the front ones.Even after bleeding it is still not that convincing and the feel is not upto the mark.Will check the brake pads.

Stoppies have surely eaten the pads i think.

Bike covered 6.5k!
Need to change the mineral oil to synthetic..Vibrations are getting on my nerves now..!

Give me the best three choices and I'd pick one randomly...

Seriously,which one is best? What was that Motul you've been using chicane? Please send in the details..

Best is MOTUL, followed by PETRONAS SPRINTA (too good for it's price) and VEEDOL.

Still dont look for drastic improvement in vibes, they WILL be there.

hey guys 2 days back changed the oil to castrol power racing 1
10w40 & oil filter after that there was noise proper noise from engine

in between 25km speed to 35km didn't went beyond that was in fear what will be that engine become too hot after some time. but after let's say 10 to 15km ride sound gone and bike comes to normal condition riding
any guess wat will be the prob 2mrw will check again
oil is great and feels smooth
Odo 6100km
Tc
ride safe

Well i would say Motul is better amongst the three. I used 15W50 Semi-Synthetic for about 3k kms.Really nice engine oil and provided optimal performance in extended highway ripping runs. But some of the 160 owners are not on favour of it. Don't know any of the 180 owner has tried the Motul SS out here.

Go for Motul 300V FS 5W40 or 5100T 10W40. Or you can try the Veedol Super Swift which costs 270 bucks. Very good engine oil.Have no personal experience with the Petronas but i have heard it gels well with the RTR.

Couldn't get you. What type of noise are you experiencing from the engine?

**rng** · 05-28-2010, 11:54 PM

Even mine. When I asked the svc guy he gave me some BS

so always set it when engine is hot to 1.5

but some time when riding my bike the rpm struct on 2 and dont come down un less give race or kill the engine and start again

guys my speedo consol is showing high speed 160 my best was 127 it changed automaticly st was 4.1 changed to 3.5 what is wrong
some time i dont wait for consol self check and start the bike is that the problem

it might be due to the loosened or missing bolt below the handle-bar..

i faced exactly the same problem with my r15 some days back.. i got it done by just tightening the bolt as mentioned by a mechanic..

get it checked.. hope it works d same with your machine..

hey guys engine becomes too hot comparo to normal hot timing

is it the fully synthetic oil?
some noise i don't know where it's coming from? but sure it's from engine

will post a video
but it was 2 days back
bike performance is great
no prob at all now
just want to know was it clutch plates or may be 1st time poured the fully synthetic oil that's why but still i don't think any thing above mention can be cause a cut cut cut cut noise
any guess when should we suppose to change the clutch plates?

Synth oil wont make the engine make new diff noices.
What kind of noices are you hearing?
Are they coming while driving or at the stationary bike too??
Synth oil do make the tappet noice little more audible, i think the cut cut thing is that.

Hey Congrats for Your new purchase...

Just try to inspect the bike thoroughly from outside..for any scratches and all.
And try to get a look through the Speedometer for the topspeed recorded coz most of the showrum people are not smart enough to reset it and the 0-60 Lap Timer also the Odometer...

Also try to inspect for any rust and all if it is there.. (only 1% case)

That's all what i had done.. just wait for the genius minds here guide u..

**sri.vaibhav** · 05-29-2010, 07:35 PM

My Bike's Kick has gone insane...i hit it n it goes dont know where...Sometimes below the foot rest and sometimes below the brakes...what the hell is happening i just cant figure it out..Any one has faced this issue ??
