          Earlier with the slight push of two fingers i can stop the bike but now have to press hard with three and still bike dont come to complete halt.
          Was there any faulty installation or how can i get it rectified?

          Guys need help here.
          Any new brake pad will need some 100 kms of running in before it performs to the optimum level. So i would suggest to wait till your brake pads settle down.

                Dude, that was but obvious his bike was revved in neutral and the display is of the top speed! You can also see that bike is close to the pavement and not in centre or around. Though, it by no means undermines the effort

                  I've tried it on two different RTR180's... but neither of them went past 125 on speedo...

                  P.S. I didn't waited more than 2-3 seconds to see further increase in the reading. As I saw that the reading is stuck at 125 only for 2-3 seconds, I started de-accelerating. Does it takes some time to go past that mark? Or I, unluckily, got both the bikes with zero speedo errors?

                    • Grunting Sound from my Bike

                      Hi guys,

                      When ever i accelerate, at high RPMs the bike throws a kind of grunting sound.........Bhurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....! something like this which automatically goes off once the RPM and speed are some what synchornised.....i mean it does comes when i open up the throttle instantly.....if i gradually increase it it doesnt comes......
                      hey by the way i took my bike on EXPRESS HIGHWAY bombay-pune......i touched 133 after which i guess there was still some juice left but air pressure was tremendous so till now i have reached 133

                      but do let me know guys whether this kind of sound is OK.....and what this crank shaft is all abt because i do hear tappet noise after the bike has ran few kilometeres which comes down as and when it gets cold. I guess loose tappet wont damage my engine but
                      I am worried about that sound well i guess it used to come right from the vary first day.......but just wanted to know whether its OK or not?

                      • Guys my bro rtr 180 is facing a serious issue.
                        After 15k kms he put a local filter(duplicate of K&N) and it was not tuned properly,now the bike clocked about 20k kms the problem is that bike doesnt goes above 95kmph and while doing these speeds the vibrations are unbearable,the pick up has drastically decreased we have shown it to a local mechanic,he said clutch place need to be replaced.
                        Now what are u suggestions for decrease in pickup,vibrations,topspeed?will the replacement of local to orginal will do the job?
                        Thank u

                          rtr has second in take system that work when you suddenly opens your throttle .which insert more air in engine and that more air pass thru the exhaust making burrrrr sound .

                            So you mean to say this sound is pretty OK i mean like you said a second intake system is there which causes this sound......so i think there nothing to worry about right?

                                My advice to you is restore the original filter of RTR get it fitted and check i am sure it will work fine..........what it has to do with clutch plate change......
                                Vibrations i believe, they usually come with the AF mixture is not tuned properly. Believe me i have tuned the AF mixture myself and it has done wonders in terms of pickup and vibrations.....the vedio i'll be posting soon for the same
