    then first there is something wrong with the meter, i think you have to get it checked...

      Even my bike touches 125 easily i faced this problem before this can be solved by re-tuning your carb..Probably if you want to reach higher speeds like 80 in the third gear you can try cosworth filter..Just installed and my bike revs till 12K(Neutral) freely the maximum it can...

        Hi guys,Happy New Year to allDid 250kms trip on the 31st and was riding at 70-80km/hr continously for 70kms.The engine heated up and sound was like 'chan chan.'After taking a stop for sometime it was all fine.Is this normal?

          I do read the thread everyday... but cannot contribute to such queries coz I dont keep track of the very minute details of what speed the bike is doing at specific rpms call me whatever, but at those speeds, I'd rather scan the road for potential threats than the rpms :P

                      5th gear speedo readings with r15 rear i.e less speedo error

                      4k-53
                      5k-64
                      6k-79

                      10k-134

                      exact figures as per my cam test

                      bike not going above 8.5 was happening with me too, tried carb tune no good, changed spark plug still nothing, changed clutch plates and used yamahalube 20w40 and i could do 9-9.5 k frequenly. Maybe in ur case carb is the culprit,take a pic of ur spark plug and post it.

                      Note- take the pic in macro mode for a clear view

                          False alarm.Should have looked more into it.

                          Turns out the engine was cold coz i left it in the rain(at least i think so)Full 12k revvability restored after some kilometers.


                          Have you checked your spark plug for carbon deposits?AFAIK carb settings do not affect RPM(acted as a rev limiter,they however have determined the amount of grunt i have immensely)..The spark plug,Plug Cap,and the coil however will.Honestly i think it's a problem with your CDI assy. rather than your Carb.

                          Has disconnecting the TPS yielded anything?

                                Reached 130 km/hr

                                I got my RTR 180 recently tuned at the ASC on Friday. Post that i have done 130km on Saturday morning, however my RPM meter is gone bust and does not show a proper reading. SO dont know what was the RPM reading there???

                                I did report the RPM meter issue in the ASC and they rewound the meter to zero and tested it. It worked fine in testing, however once the other tune up were finished and the final trial was taken, the RPM meter again started move to the right of 0k as before and the issue started all over again. The ASC guy told that i would need to replace the entire console. It would cost me 3550 for replacing it. If i do this i would also loose all the kilometeres to digital meter or won't i? Is it advisable to change the console for the RPM meter only???

                                Previously i have touched 124 at 11K or close to 11.5 K RPM.
