In all it understood me.
        Its been not a mere bike for me, but a companion too....

              • ^^ I think your bike's CR is near to 11.5:1 only, considering you read 180psi on the gauge.

                You convert compression ratio into psi by multiplying it with ambient air pressure which is 14.7 psi. So, it's 14.7 psi x 11.5 = 169.5 psi.

                Since the gauge reads zero at ambient pressure, so you subtract 14.7 from 180. 165.3 psi. You are almost there.

                I believe, this is relative method by which you compare CR.

                I think Joel can explain it much better though. Lets wait for his post...

                • About TPS aka Throttle Switch

                  Guys ,
                  those who are having problems with hiccups/lag below 4k rpm or specifically 2.5k to 4k rpm, U can change the Throttle switch which solves most of the problem , and then clean the spark plug or Get a NGK Iridium Spark Plug .(Solved my Hiccup problem completely) Believe me, i never knew a spark plug could matter so much! Im feeling my bike is totally different!The Feel of the Engine is a Delight! Amazingly Crispy Engine Response!

                  Rev's to redline easily and its not at all breaking a sweat to reach 120..! sheesh! everyday i ride in ring road and im like whoooo wtf ! Its just super!

                  Has anyone Experienced this after getting an iridium plug?

                  Cost of TPS( Bangalore): Rs 95.
                  Cost of NGK Iridium Spark Plug: Rs 550.(JC Road).

                      Guys, had a OT question. Was thinking about switching to speed Petrol(Yes after the news today! ) Currently I have a little bit of normal petrol, say about 3 Liters. So is it okay if both get mixed up? Or Do I have to empty up first then later fill it up with speed? Please reply asap, as I'm gonna fill up by evening.

                          What did Joel said w.r.t gasket? Why two are required and what if you don't use two?

                          • @Mirhawk : Thanks buddy, you and every RTR will have more wonderful years with their respective RTRs

                            Gave my bike for the 8th service, even the svc guy was astonished to see the purchase date and the kms on the odo
                            Told him to check the timing chain noise and the gear shift problem which at times slips out (what I feel). Asked him not to change engine oil as it was changed just a week back with just 100kms usage. If he opens the engine then I might need to change the oil again (extra fatka ). The estimate he gave :
                            -Servicing : 250INR
                            -Chain Spray : 35INR
                            -Timing Chain : 700INR (Which I doubt ), anyone who have the part number in case I need it.
                            -Oil : 220INR (If needed)
                            -Oil Filter : 35INR
                            -Any other parts needs to be changed, he will inform me prior doing that.

                            Will be getting the Devil back either tomorrow evening or day after. Lets see what happens.
                            Its been days that I have not ridden her the way it needs to be... like a MENACE

                                The compression ratio will be very high if you do not use two gaskets. You piston may be forced for an abnormal operation due to the hig compression. Just assume a 190CC occupying the same space as the 180CC.

                                If you enlarge the Head ports appropriately as advised by Joel then there is no need for two gaskets.

                                You can use one single gasket as like the stock, or get the porting a bit more precise and even avoid a gasket, going traditional using Yamaha Bond adhesive to seal compression.
