I own a RTR 180 . . its just been months since i bought it. .well ...i am a big fan of stunts and i have tried a couple of them. . what exactly i wanna know is, whether the stock tyre provided by TVS can be counted upon or do i need to change it.. if the change is required, then pls suggest me some tyres tat can provide good grip and at the same time do not affect her performance. . .. .
    Switch to the 110-section Zapper which currently comes fitted with CB Dazzler. It costs 1820 here in BBSR. I will be switching to it in couple of days.

    its working fine now
    has any one has also gone thru this on their taco.
    This might happen again. And there is a high possibility that it may give up soon. If the issue pops out again then replace the speedometer assembly.

And it is not the one way clutch problem as i have already got it replaced in the very beginning and hope it has not resurfaced agian. Is it the tapping sound as i have not got my bike's tapping adjusted and it has already clocked 10500kms? Any idea guys.
    I am not sure of what you are talking about.

    Does the noise comes from engine or from behind i.e near rear wheels

        check the connection between exhaust pipe n engine.... the nut will be loose. is there any difference in sound??? do u see slight smoke from front???

            Recheck the fasteners..... especially the part which joins the exhaust manifold and the exhaust head.....

              Hey just wanted to know,whether the "Racer" comes under warranty or not?
              i changed it at 5th free serving today,he charged me ` 260 for that.I argued with the manager for vein.
              Also my rear break shoe was charged,but break shoes dont come under warranty i know that.
              Only my horn switch was changed,under warranty.

                Nops, it won't. The specification is same as that of the stock ones i.e 110/80*17!!

                  .
                  This also happens with RTR 180 console.it happened with me once,when i was riding at 130 kmph.Stopped,to take the reading of top speed,it showed 160......I reset it immidiatly and rode my bike in full speed again,but it has never been repeated ...
                  Now i guess the speedo cable disconnects ,when the bike is rode at its highest speed...
                  It had happened 4 months back then.never happened again.

                        Its normal.. RTR touching 11.5k RPM is not a wonder
