Nope they didnt make it smooth,the gear changing can be made smooth by shifting at the right time,i usually change at 4k during normal riding and 6k and above while going fast

@ALL : A fellow tribal is facing some issue (Click Here), do help him. I am unable to find out what is the main reason for the problem

**sambit** · 02-25-2012, 03:14 PM

Though I should have clicked it 5 kms prior

Bike is decarbed,Valves are replaced.Clutch plates needs to be replaced as soon as possible....Gears getting stuck....
But the lone Problem still exists.... Jerks/Hick ups @ 3-3.5k RPM.... nobody has an answer to it...
Funny thing is now I have to ride my bike above 6000 RPM...
Jerks @<4000 RPM.

Vibrations @4000-5500 RPM.

Yes, make a warranty claim.
Most bike seats are held by stapler like thing.

Hmm,will do that... guess the sudden braking with pillion ripped the seat cover in my case..

me too had this problem i just re stapled the seat again and was good to go

Stapling seat cover is still pretty strange to me..
Wonder how some people keep theirs intact for so long..

That would depend how one defines the term 'rash' riding!!

Which one would you prefer to call rash riding? Passing through between an innova and a truck @ 40km/hr or ripping through a poor Indian highway(speed limit @ 80km/hr) @ 300km/hr? I think the person who has reported didnt notice that the video still exists(like many others) here in xBhp which doesnt send a right signal too!!

Don't ask me what "I" call as rash riding

There exist a "maybe" in my commenwhich I think you didn't notice. If someone reported it as rash, then the mods would've deleted it as it CAN be considered as rash with some point of view and you've been unlucky to get it reported while others who posted more rough riding had not

i also got worn out back of my bike's seat while riding with pillion but most of the seat cover are stapled to the base of the seat go to any seat cover guy he will fix your seat for just 20-30 Rs i guess for mine a guy near my house charged me 20 Rs and till now its ruff and tuff

i guess TVS made the seats for RTR ABS in a hurry

Mileage

Hmm..... Some of you guys who get above 45 are really lucky. Im not so i guess. After my first service i had close to 41 when riding sanely and 35 when ripping. But After my second service it dipped!!! Now my normal mileage is 38!!! When I asked the SVC guy and he kinda escaped from the question saying it happens all the time and nothing can be done!!! Is it possible that mileage drops after service? that too after first service to second service? In normal cases I have heard that it only increases !!!

check if your tuning was made rich inadvertently by SVC.

on a lighter note, why worry for a 3km decrease in mileage?

for petrol @Rs.70/ltr it will be an increase of 15Paise per Km!

Can anyone here please enlighten me as to what an "oil filter" is and its exact location in my RTR160? I know what and where an air filter is but I'm unsure about the oil one. Some pics would be useful.

In the service manual, it has been mentioned that the oil filter needs to be replaced @ each servicing. I think SVC people didn't change my bike's oil filter in 1st or 2nd servicing. I was never billed for it either. Is it usually mentioned in the bill?

My bike has done 2100 km in 6 months and I'm using Shell AX5 (I got it filled from outside mechanic). So can I buy this oil filter part and get it replaced from my mechanic. SVC guys say we won't fill any other oil than TRU4. I hate TRUcrap. Trust me, there is a huge difference between TRU4 and AX5. I've experienced it.

3rd servicing is due in a couple of days. I'm thinking of trying Motul mineral this time. Is Motul stuff better than AX5?

When you open the circle part you will get the oil filter. This link will help for understanding Oil Filter in some manner

It should have been changed , if not done grab them. It is less than 100INR

TVS never say YES to other oil other than TRU4. Yes you can buy the filter from SVC and get it changed from mechanic. Change the filter whenever you change Oil Brand, Oil grade and whenever the manual asks you too.
I don't have much knowledge about oils, others might help
