hi all...just updating that i have covered my bikes' running-in yesterday. the bike is going good. the right side heaviness has somewhat reduced or maybe i have got used to it. still i feel it sometimes.
getting an average of 50kmpl (best 52kmpl) while riding between 55-60kmph. just loosing air-pressure in both front & rear tires, dunno why? loosing 2-3psi in a span of 3-4 days! hiccups are being felt. ignoring false-shifts.
thinking of going for a short ride this weekend.

guys - could any body guide me as to where i could source from "xbhp" stickers & i wanna buy riding gears. so where in mumbai?

Ok, i meant lower idling rpm. But whatever it is, idler rpm is no way related to sprag clutch failures. Low battery charge, faulty TCI are the reasons for the failures.

Just ride as one needs to ride during rains. Simple!!

Read my post carefully. Ultimate aim is running crank shaft faster than starter, when it comes to life. If you set idling RPM higher(as specified), it is automatically achieved. else you should slightly blip throttle while start-up. Also, it cannot be said that reasons you said are exactly correct.

just want to make sure after switch to fully synthetic
can we shift back to semi synthetic again?
just asking?

any advice on chain clean, lube is with me and chain clean also
should i remove the chain clean it and then install it again
or just spray?

In mumbai their are lot may stores for riding gear
i think if you are running on budget then go for cramster, DSG or else alpinestars, AXO, Fox Racing, etc. do check their web sites and yes they are holding official store in mumbai (or dealer) so no need to import (they will do it for you) do check the "cramster" they are holding some really good stuff out there.

i don't think removing chain is ever a good idea :P just put middle stand n put the bike in neutral and rotate the wheels n spray it... that's what i do with chain spray...

My bike glanced at me with delusion when i asked it a question about 'it's' gender and it quoted "I can ask you the same about your orientation

ok guys , i think i have the One way clutch problem coz my bike is suddenly stopping with a bang(huge sound) ... the frequency of this is increasing. i have just one month left in warrenty period.
now , how will i explain the problem to the Mech at TVS . im sure he would not understand one way clutch . any suggestions.

OK, for a moment let's assume what i have claimed is completely false.

Can you just explain why only the 180 is facing with this problem. If idling RPM would have been the culprit then why none of the other bikes(having electric starters) have ever reported this problem including the ones from TVS?

Dude, the warranty period is for 2 years or 40000kms, whichever is earlier. Don't worry. Dont explain it to mechanic, explain it to some senior service personnel.

I dont know why but i have seen many of the RTR owners unaware of the exact warranty period.

maybe u are right....i will just be more careful on rainy days....

about the rear disk brake i checked the level below the Cover Frame R....the color of the container led me to believe that there was no brake fluid but when i opened it i found that it was full...

...it took me a while to get the cap back on the container....

You can safely switch to synth, then semi synth then mineral, no problems..

But stick to one brand and grade of oil if possilble(Petronas, motul)

opening the chain by the lock and then installing it is a long process, i'll advise you to lube the chain while rotating it on the main stand.

yes why only RTR180??
why not RTR160,P220,star city,Fiero etc???

i think it's a bad case of stinking engineering in case of the RTR180.
