      #1 To get the 120 vyde fitted you don't have to do any mods, it absolutely sits well on stock rim. The shop guy told this is the best broader tyre which suits RTR without any alteration. Yeah I know its a heavy one but can be made lighter on road with nitrogen gas :-) This costed me 2.8k. I got this fitted in Chennai when I was there.

      #2 Cosworth is doing wonderful job apart from sound. My RPM needle is in free flow mode after cosworth. My RTR became Q(q)uick T R... I got it for 1350/- after negotiating and it also came with one year warranty!!!

      #3 HID projector with blue angle light. I seriously donno how it works. What I saw was it came with an unit which also went inside the light doom. Now i can get my light on even before the ignition is on. The whole projector HID kit costed my 2.6k and fitting another 300 bucks.

      I got all my mods done from JC road, Bangalore. More over before getting my up-jetting done i got top speed to 131 kmph but i noticed there is no fuel flow beyond this point. My engine started chocking. But later got the jet hole carved to bigger size yesterday and haven't done top speed after that. need to try this weekend.

      Inside the cities I really doesn't realize when i am hitting 100+ speed. Only when i see the speedo i have OMG feeling! LOL

      - Prakash
      coool! now can you pls give that dealer's number of shop name and where exactly in JC road??? any warranty with the HID kit??

      Planning to get HID as my first ever mod!!

        The Place is RAMKAY TVS (Adayar, Chennai), inquired about the mods.

        All these mods are done by the SHOWROOM ppl and NOT by TVS.

        I went to inquire about the HID n Projector mod, they quoted me (Rs.4500) for the Projector+HID+Pilot lamps+LED Strip(Smiley)

        2 days time for the mod to be done .

        • 6000k HID, Projector with white angel eyes, SMD type Pilot lamps. LED for the Smiley kind of strip.

          Pirelli tires fitted for the rear but the fact is , the tire reads SPORTS DEMON FRONT.

                  Nothing new. The problem is too common in almost all RTRs. Although, there is no specific reason observed behind that, but according to some guys, it happened to them when they revved the machine past 11K RPM and that too doesn't happen everytime. It happened with me also. Thats the only reason I don't have the pic of my max speed on my bike till date because when I reached the destination and checked the HI Spd register to click a frame, I found it to be 160

                    Same case with me too. But i reset it by pressing the mode button when display shows high speed.

                      If you are facing the same problem again and again,show the 'demo' to SVC guys & insist them on replacing the speedo under warranty.

                            hey go for HID kits only if your bike is converted to full-DC.. or else its gonna be bad after a few days!!! now suffering with mine!!!
                            HID goes real dim after a max of 15 mins!!!

                              Yes,HIDs require constant DC power supply to work efficiently.If its directly connected to battery without dc conversion then the battery or the hid bulb will give up after few days of usage!
