i am jealous and hate this guy...

No doubt swagat's photography skills are really very good, but i fell in love with this bike the first time i saw it

. i love the white paint job and with the 17"rear wheel now the RTR looks more proportionate.i adore the RTR 180 in white( only the white RTR).

IIRC, R15 had a lead of abt 3 seconds over P220Fi and RTR160fi was abt 1-2 seconds behind P220fi.....

Today, if you've noticed, the gaps remain more or less the same [R15 (~3secs) P220 (~1-2 secs) RTR180] even when RTR 160fi was replaced by RTR 180

thats where it looks fishy .....

i hope u've got my point

Hmmm!!! interesting.

acually i expected the RTR 180 to top the timing, and expected the 220 dtsi to better the timing of 220fi especially after so much hype before the release of menace.Its been almost 2 years since i stopped reading these mags. our Xbhp provides me with all the necessary information about bikes.

Converting to full DC has its advantages of flicker free lighting, and you can use higher watt bulb like the NB.

theguitarfreak has converted to full DC... check this thread http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/desi-bik...s-all-day.html

thanks a lot bro..correct me if am wrong,but using a hid without converting the bike to dc will drain the battery,right??

Top it up with the Dot 3 fluid( It's the grade TVS used) till the max mark, that's it.

@SHIVANK:

Nice pics buddy

Nice pics buddy

brakes are working perfectly even below min marks i think it will work till the bottom end

or it will give some problem afterwards

please tell me what problem will arise if i dont topup now and wait till brakes start to give less feedback

Hey Guys , even My byk has completed 1 year today ... wantd to share a lot of pics but they r not worthy to be uploaded on the same thread as Swagat and others post their beautiful pics.

One Year has been really good with the Bike , Head Turner even now , i luv the attention i get due to the bike and the Acceleration , i luv it , i just breeze past everyone else in traffic with a slight twist of the throttle . im really happy that these bikes dont sell in great number bcoz our bikes will have some uniqueness.

TVS Service has been Good (i know the owner of the TVS showroom whch gives my bike spl attention at the SVC)

Veedol oil is workin wonders in my bike , silky smooth(for the RTRs atleast) Thnx to Chicane for the advice.

About 10k kms completed.loved each one.

The brake will work fine till the last drop of the fluid with more of the travel at the pedal but if it will take even a hint of air you'll have to bleed the system out.
Just top it up.
