      For me its never been nor will ever be my DL, For me its always been and will always remain my RL {Riding License}

      I confess that I ♥ :

      for lights to turn green
      *Fielding queries from massed onlookers
      *Pushing dream bikes to their limits
      *Blasting past slowpokes
      *Hoiking the front wheel

          @Lijok You could check out post 8239 (Drifty's post) clearly showing where the TPS is located, just to get a clear picture.

            The gearbox of my A180-ABS is quite good.. maybe 1-2 false neutrals per 100 shifts or so.. and gear shifting is also smooth. No issues. (NOTE:I rode a Yamaha Libero earlier)

            Hi Drifty, Is the manual you have is a 24page Pdf which explains features specific to RTR180 and for others says to refer the earlier Apache service manual or a full version?

            If you DO have the full version, please do upload it for all of us..

First experience them on your own and obvserve. If you still feel that you can't keep up with them, you can surely change to the better ones. I, personally, do feel that they aren't close to the best ones but I am still running on them because they aren't so bad that I need to change them before they should've been.
              +1 to that!! tvs tyres aren't that bad on regular surfaces! its only in the rains that u need to be extra careful and apply the brakes cautiously.
              but on a positive side that may make u more alert while riding

              From my experience, I answered that there is a mild vibration in that speed range, but nothing noticeable and annoying..

              Guys ..What's your opinion about vibrations on new RTRs compared to old ones?
              rtr, being my first bike i didnt notice the vibrations much! its only after i read about them and after riding a friend's unicorn did i start to realize about them and sometimes while riding aggressively u get the feel u know

                  i also observed new design clipons on new batch rtrs .they are more thick and round..

                      No repairing, refilling air/nitrogen, nothing. Please replace them!!

                        1600 for one ! ! anyone tried modding rtr to a monoshock setup . i kinda want to have a little more stability that a longer swing arm provides and am thinking if the r15 aluminium swingarm can be installed on rtr .

                        @ all - btw whats the cost for stock rtr 180 swingarm ?

                              Another thing buddy, never rev the engine like that just after starting it especially after a long time period.
                              Even during regular usage of the bike, don't rev it hard while idling, it would overheat the engine internals and cause costly damage. And before going for a ride (if it's the days first one or after an interval of say, an hour or so) let the engine idle for 30-60 secs at least, so that oil starts circulating well enough. Further, keep the revs below 4.5K for the first 3-4 km

                              Happy and Safe biking!!

                                I guess the shocks come in pairs. So the price mentioned by Lijok should be for a pair (Just a guess). Better check with your spares dealer.

                                I advice you not to play with swingarms until you are very sure about the pros and cons of tweaking the bike's geometry.
