guys today i fell it was my fault overspeeding. bikes front faring white portion is broken ,how much it will charge to replace it. dose any body has any idea!.....

today i got something there is a hole in exhaust pipe
want to recheck with u guys is the same in yours?
what does it do?

The low on the pressure suealing was happened accidently as i forgot when i checked the pressure of the tyre and i think after the 2-3 days of the suealing when i went to the air pump for the refill i came to know i was too low on the pressure, then to check the suealing again i tried the hard on the brakes method on the properly filled tyres and they suealed again.

Yes running on low pressure makes the front tad heavy but, but i havent noticed any diff from the rear (the max i dropped one time was at 18 and at that point you can hear a tyre noice while leaning inside your helmet too)

to the camparo point!!!
MRF Q beats the crap outta TVS, that tyre gave me loads of confidence in my FIERO which had a scary front end (i had FS at front in it 80/90 though that was a rear tyre and it wasn't wise to put a rear tyre to the front) the FIERO's rear suspension was scary around the corner and used to give rebound effect still after switching to the ZAPPERS my confidence level was very high and in those tires i scrapped the FIERO's peg which is impossible to do with TVS tires without kissing the tarmac.

I think even CEAT will beat the TVS around corners, and a CEAT guy on RTR will post much better timing on the track than the TVS one.

TVS never use the TVS tyre on the track RTR's!!!!!!!!
This shows how good their product around corner is, and remember they have one of the best guys behind the handles.




Changing gears while in lean should be avoided, but i tried it once in RTR, from 3 to 2, blipping the throttle much more than needed with half clutch, that resulted in nil engine braking thus the lockup, but still the rear fishtailed, and the road was tar and complete dry.

The front also will also skid away badly if you'll aggressively change the direction, mainly happens when one lean ends and other starts with very little patch of straight raod in between, when you get out from the croutched position for a sec, then croutch again to that "weight on the forward" postion and prepare for a lean again (left ended and right started or vice versa), you can feel and virtually see the front going away from the line, it's $hitty scary when you'll do it at 60-65kmph, again courtsey the tires.

The TVS tires are at their limits the moment you tilt your bike even to 5 degrees of an angle, i bet there's no one at this thread who leaned/danced around the corners on RTR with complete peace of mind and never experienced FISHTAILING/TAIL SLIDING/REAR STEPPING OUT/FRONT SLIDING/HARD BRAKING SQUEALING/FRONT STEPPING OUT.

P.S:
It was sad to hear ROSSI fall and injuring himself.

TVS racing team uses zapper c 3.00-17 on pro kit race bikes and i think 100-90 zapper c on rear.

Please tell me you're talking about the 100/90 zapper-c in 17" because i've been looking like anything but there seems to be nothing in 18" above 3.00". Even a 90/90 would do for the for the rear. And 3" is less than 90mm, why do they downsize for the front?

On a straight stretch of wet road one can do 120kmph on TVS tires all day long, they do aquaplaning quite good, they'll perform good, will inspire confidence but the moment you'll lean your bike a little they'll show you their true colors.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I'm not very sure about this, but wouldn't squealing under braking mean that the tyre is actually slightly skidding over the road surface? If it was only braking it would do it quietly. Think about it, the noise a car makes when braking hard, and then the amount of noise it makes when it's skidding, like when you hit the handbrake and the wheels lock. My understanding is that a squealing tyre means the tyre is being overwhelmed by the brake which is desperately asking for a grippier tyre.

A good rider rides by feel, and you can feel the feedback from the tyres before they actually begin to lose traction and slide.

Today i went to the TVS svc to ask a mechanic whether the rear sprocket of RTR160 will be a direct fit for the RTR180. He said it might, it might not. I have to experiment. I have a to buy a full chain and sprocket set of RTR160 and try it out on my bike. If it doesnt fit my money is wasted. Can anyone confirm me on this?

You forgot the zapper Q....

Going by what RTR owners feel about the performance of TVS Tyres.I wonder about the plight of the lakhs of poor souls who buy 100-125cc bikes fitted with TVS tyres.If the tyre compounds are anything to go by,then those will be much worser.And there should be thousands of consumer court cases slapped on TVS, by now.

And of AJD for calling them the best indian tyres in his review of the victor in OD.

They did.Until R15 arrived.They have been winning races since Victor/Fiero days using those ordinary tyres only.

Make that any bike.That could happen to any rider in this world no matter what bike he rides.A particular stretch ahead of you would never be similar to one you just left behind.Unless the rider is not riding enough!!

I meant i was looking for the C in 90/90 or 100/90 18" and found it doesn't exist. That's why what nox said shocked me if he meant 100/90 in 18"..

I am not sure whether those are direct fit on the 180 or not.Also i have read somewhere that the the existing ones on the 180 is not a direct fit on the 160s.Why are you buying the whole set.You will be in loss.Even the length of the chain itself is different(longer).

Try this website out in calculating the speed change at different rpms after sprocket change.

The sproaket will be direct fit.
I dont think TVS changed the entire housing of the front and rear sproaket, they're just the same,with 180 having slightly longer chain(having 4 more rollers i think).

NO....!!!!!!

Add "witout the TVS tyres" to the above sentence.

Do you think that fitting a Michelin/Pirelli on a RTR would make the bike skid-proof and defy the laws of gravity..C'mon even the doctor fell!!
