it's not actually dirty. It's just that the paint is fading off due to rubbing with your trousers/pants (tank hugging maybe). You can't actually do anything about it. If you try to clean it by rubbing, it will worsen. Best thing is to leave it as it is.

Fading?Its only been 5 months.Is it probably because of the bike cover that i put on(there are black marks/stains on the cover),or is it really fading?Is there any way to get it removed,please suggest guys?

Had a condition same as Your's. Have You just collected the bike from servicing? Because those mechanics just leave their marks on it.

Use a mildly strong shampoo. Apply it and scrub with a normal loofah. I had tried it yesterday and it worked just fine! And don't worry, the paint remains as it is.

@RTR Owners : If the timing chain is making noise will it effect anything on the engine, the mechanic said its ok, don't cross 60kmph mark and get it done within 500-600 kms

Apart from the irritating noise,on the high run,the chain will tend to slip,valve timing will change,resulting in loss of performance as well there is a risk with the engine getting seized with the chain getting stuck in between the internals.

no he has never got his engine head open and there has been no such problems of valve or tapets.......nd yes the breather pipes are inside the hose pipe and sealed will post a pic asap.....but how come the bike revs freely with a smaller jet till 11k and installing a bigger one kills it,...??? acha so i need to get 125 right....the a180 jet will do na..??

The air flow increases when the bike is in motion making the afr mixture lean,hence the engine begs for more supply of fuel to compensate the more amount of air.What is the stock jet size?I told u before,this jetting and all stuff is a trial and error method.Try the 125 jet size(you may even get the Pulsar main jet and drill it),again tune the carb for proper afr mixture and check by riding the bike(not standstill)redlining the engine in all gears,if you dont feel any 'flat spot' or lag in between,you are there!
Psr sir,correct me if I am wrong.

ITEMS TO BE CHANGED at 11 K kms..
1. Spark Plug
2. Air Filter
3. Engine oil (only if more than 2 K Kms)..

To be Checked /cleaned/lubed/and only then changed if required...
1. Disc Pads.
2. Front fork oil and oil seal
3. Drive chain and sprockets.
4. Swing arm bush.

Brake pads wear depends on the usage,replace them if the wear is beyond the wear indicator groove.If needed,change the brake fluid too.Plus the things mentioned in the below post.

Visiting forum now had trouble finding these replies

Thanks for replies.
Oil I change @ 2k kms regularly. Will get spark plug changed , btw i always roam around in dusty areas(thanks to all construction activities in blore) and air filter is always messed up , didnt have any fluids to clean it so last time i spent 100 for cleaning air filter at SVC. If i hit reserve by this week end will get tank also cleaned.

You are right Sir.Forgot to add it.

Then you need to clean the filter more frequently.BTW I had removed the outer filter,the bigger one and attached a splendor/passion outer foam cover(the one in black) in place of that since it has larger pores,help in better breathing.
BTW anyone know the cost of rear view mirror?

Rs135 each here in delhi.

**Rtrlover83** · 11-08-2011, 08:00 PM

I hope K&N would bring stock replacement air filters for series RTR just like they did for the Pulsars. It would be just plug and play. No worries

+1, You are in a risk of screwing up the Engine, Just dont run your bike before fixing the issue, It will affect the Cam and Valves too.

Unless RAM air is used, increase in air flow into air filter is not possible with speed..
Trying to just fit any Air filter or messing with Jet size is not for the common person to do..
Setting up a carb is not an easy job especially when you mess with these parts. Using a free flow air filter will reduce the venturi velocity for a given throttle opening throughout the RPM range...Free flow air filter allows more air , and engine will run very lean and likely to burn the valves and cause seizure . So when jet is made bigger, to compensate to achieve ideal mix, at WOT there is every chance of engine getting excessive petrol.....
Here is a link on different carb parts and how they function...the pic., may not be relevant, but the content is..
