    Thank you again for sharing your valuable views.
    I am thinking of putting MRF on both same zapper FS for front & Rear Zapper C in-case I don't find a perfect guy & Stuff I am looking for (I just don't want to showoff with brand names. don't mind just my view not pointing at anybody here)

    He's again quoting too much for the IRC tire.Do not buy tires from him.Seems he's in habit of fooling people..Refer to Social's post for the exact pricing below..

    That's the Ninja spec you are talking about my friend.We will wait till the RTR gets a 250 mill..I am sure these tires will come handy then.If in case,TVS launches any 2XX bike in near future,I am sure they won't forget to ruin it with Shrichakra rubber and TRUUU4 oil..

    That's the same shop I bought the IRC from..

    Yes,yes we do know that.People were discussing this a few months back.Anyway,I got the first lot so it's the not a problem for me.

        Compared to a 2-Stroke you will always find a 4-stroke boring.Having ridden only two 2-stroke bikes(Shogun and Samurai) the fun of riding is unmatched! But I am sure you will love the RTR sooner than you think..It has a reputation of a 2-stroke lookalike among other 4-strokes..That were my 2 cents there.Rest,you might be knowing better,as presumably you had a Shogun before.

        PS:I had ridden a 2-stroke Scooty/Kine Honda as well.It was fun!

          Couldn't agree more with you Shivank....by the way..my Shogun is still with me.....I'll have to be a retard to sell a bike like that....

          I have always felt that the RTR had a few of the characteristics like the Shogun such has rev-friendly engine...the gear ratios.... appealing exhaust note.... not to mention the vibes!

              Hi bro, one more question, might be a silly one for you
              Do i need to remove the three small bolts also, which surrounds the drain bolt?

              Anyways, which is the best option to replace oil and filter?, Either i do it myself (I'm pretty nervous cos this is the first time ) or should i hand over the Shell 10W40 oil and oil filter to the SVC guys on service day and let them do it, because one of them said they would, if i get them the oil. But the question is, when should i give the oil & filter whether at the time i give them the ride (at 8.30am), when i go at the eve, or in between?...

                Its better you get the SVC to change the oil for you until all your booklet services are over. That way, in the 'eyes of TVS' you have complete and clean service record, which will help you in case of any warranty claims wrt engine (God forbid). You'll need to give them the oil when you give the bike itself. If you are not comfortable with that, speak with them on an alternate time etc.. maybe go to pick it up half an hour early and give it?
                And no, you dont have to remove the three small bolts. Just the drain bolt and whatever drains out is enough.

                    Electrical

                    anyone has a idea of how we can use the RTR180ABS electrical system on our standard RTR to make it full DC. AS per can we use RTR 180 ABS stator coil and electrical unit and all RR's to make it full DC so one can run a 65w bulb on his standard RTR180 without going for coil rewinding?

                      Thank you bro for your sincere and detailed advice Yes, i would get it done at the SVC itself as you've recommended...

                            abs arrived in delhi. saw it standing in show case at showroom. .i will go and test drive it as soon i will see a test ride vehicle standing outside the showroom.
                            i think soon its sticker set will be available in delhi.

                            @diablo buddy no sign of increment of power as now just the sound increased .cant find perfect tuning after fitting k&n.in this term you are lucky your closed loop fi automatic adjust the afr according to condition. and in carb we have to mess a lot.
                            guys why that phat phat sound come from exhaust when i rev and leave the throttle..

                                that s misfiring, may be because of improper tuning.
