i will post pisc's as soon as i go home so things will be clear .

got it... and wow.. cool.. am excited! Coz I've spoiled the thread on the body... where the drain nut goes (by tightening instead of loosening - upside down changes the feel na..

). Now need to go to TVS spares and fight with them to bring it down..

BTW, have you changed this thing? Is it easy to do? I mean is there anything that would prevent us from doing it ourselves (with proper tools) ?

Thanks man.Actually I fiddled with it.There are two nut bolts on the cable near the carburretor side where the spring action takes place.I think I overtightened the upper bolt.When I gave full throttle at standstill the throttle just snapped !Also tell me the cost of the same.The local ones cost Rs.120.The shop where I enquired did not have the stock wire.Will have to check at TVS SC.

Hi guys,my friend bought a RTR 180 yesterday,and as changing engine oil in the first 200 km good for engine (came to know from Xbhp itself),which is the best engine oil?He does not want to put Tvs engine oil.
Please give me options,so i can suggest my friend.

Any xW40 grade mineral oil should be fine. Motul, Valvoline, Shell, Elf etc etc...

. Ask you friend to change the oil from SVC itself. Else later on it could come in the way of any warranty claim (God forbid).

I find your bike already too dirty.. :P

I gave the bike to SVC to get the Camshaft replaced (Issue with a bearing in it acc to Engineer, tik-tik sound at idling) ! Also getting the cone tightened as it was giving a weird thud-sound on rough roads ! Hopefully everything gets fixed and no "new" issues pop up! Atleast the SVC Engineer is knowledgable and he said he would be personally getting the work done !

Also, got some additional info on the ABS 180. He said the Vibration issue is taken care and the bike is more stable than earlier at higher speeds!! He also added that the bike's length is reduced too. I dint counter-check his claim though

!

Mine is also OEM, same packing

. I've not opened it, so dont know if its lubricated. Usually they are slightly lubed, but its good to lube it before installation. Most mechs do that.
