Coz no one bother's to read the manual book

May be!!

I would say faulty electronics/electricals. The engineering is the same as what we have found in the 160. The compatibility of the TCi-Starter motor is the culprit here.

And in case you didnt know the initial batches of 2009 manufactured P220 DTSi did have one-way clutch failures.

Btw the TVS Tru Chain Spray has one more benefit.It acts as a deodarant for the bike. The strong aroma remains for couple of days.

Chicane brother AFAIK it was 2 years or 30000kms when i bought the bike. Has it changed? If it is than its good for us man.

Oh yes, it is 30000kms indeed. Confused it with my Victor!!

Renny, 1/4th throttle will be too high. Throttle to rev engine upto 2-2.5k is enough.

@ Chicane, read it. i have posted possible cause for higher problems in RTR180 in the thread. Problem is faced by RTR160 owners also. ask onlinesatish, satyenpoojari.

I realized it just today the tvs svc manager told me.
Its 2 years or 30k kms

Lets hope TVs rectifies it in the new batches of the 180's like the BAJAJ did with the 220.

All righto.

But i'am in habit of giving a 1/4 accelerator while starting a bike right from my FIERO days, in FI it throws the needle to 4000RPM at the startup then i warm the engine at 2000 RPM for 1 min by looking at the watch.

Pearl White.
Its been two days since the bike was delivered.Drove about 20kms.Busy with college work so couldnt drive a lot.Found the braking and handling excellent.Fuel indicator is quite unreliable.Done a top speed of 61.

Was driving my friend's Old Discover for few months which has a totally different gear shift pattern.So bit struggling with the lowering of gear alone.Will perfect it in this weekend with a long drive.

some problem in my bike...whenever i take out my bike it gives jerks as if its running out of petrol..the mech told me to get the air filter cleaned...is that the only reason?

Does anyone know the sprocket sizes of the RTR 180? What is the no. of teeth on front sprocket and what is the no. of teeth on rear? My RTR Fi is in for a replacement and am looking for options. RTR Fi is 13 - 44 FYI. IIRC the rear sprocekt is 46T. What is the front sprocket size? Is it 13/14?

I had my bike's first service yesterday...i had done 430 kms till then....

i gave the bike to the svc early in the morning and asked if they could service it in front of me....to which they said that it would take three hours....also the svc guys asked me to get a 3M teflon coating for Rs 165...to which i refused...(since i have bought polish,wax and shampoo for her already)..since i had to go to office i had to leave my bike but i asked them to change the engine oil in front of me when i get back...also i enquired that whether they will be changing the air filter to which they said yes...

the estimated cost was 270 including air filter change....after 2 and a half hours i returned and got the oil changed...and the final bill was 230....when i inquired why so they said they have not changed the air filter the mechanic said that since my bike has done only 430 there is no need.

following a post on this thread i asked them to change it nevertheless but they said they are out of air filters....had to agree....i m hoping that it doesn't cause any problem....

overall my bike is running fine...no hiccups or any problem that i can feel......i am getting a mileage of 35 in the city......

I believe you meant oil filter, not air filter. I would advice you to get the oil filter changed, since it is the first service. Get it done outside, should not be a problem.

Hey Guys. From few days my bike is running very heavy. It fills like it doesnot want to pull at all. Feels like something is hindering is holding it back and pulling it back. Have checked the rear wheel and its moving free so there is no issue of rear brackes causing this. All the time i feels like the tyre is punctured but have checked that also and there is no sign of it. Is it something in the Engine? Any idea guys whats happening here.

Thanks for help brothers.

Whats the tappet clearance you are running right now?

I have clocked around 9500kms but have never adujsted tappet clearance. Never had an issue like this so i doubt even the svc guys have adjusted it although bike had 4 free services. One good day bike was running fine and all of a sudden after riding for 15 kms this problem creep in and since that day its increasing day by day. So is it because of tappet clearance thing or something else?
