The difference is due to the presence of the rear disc. No length or structural difference. just the addition of a bracket for the rear calipers

Anyways, here are a few more pics of the front disc assembly.

i mentioned a small bracket for the front caliper in my earlier post. You can see it more clearly in these photos.

Anyways, you might be wondering how and why i took i the above photos.

This is why

-

MRF Zapper FS - 90/90 -17. OE fitment for P200, P220 and Avenger. Cost me 1150 for the tyre alone.

Thanks for the info.. Currently my apache 150 is running with ZMA swingarm, I am going to change it to that of RTR to make it more lighter..

but RTR's length is more than A150 and i think tht's cuz of the extended swingarm....tht means it got to be more than A150's......

correct me if i'm wrong....

i think you missed on FZ16's front zapper 100/80....
it's more cool.....both in looks as well as to attack corners...

Of course the rtr swingarm is longer than A150. The guy was asking if there is any difference between RTR, Refresh and Fi. my answer was for that.

please

I dont want both my front tyre and rear tyre of the same size.

Anyways with a bigger tyre up front i would be losing out on the steering lightness. I wante dthe same size but better rubber. That disc up front is too good for the TVS rubber.

Hey guys what would you recommend as a proper run in procedure for the RTR refresh? My bike has clocked 520 kms in 8 days now, I keep the bike below 4k most of the time keeping speeds at below 50 in city and around 50-54 on highway... At 450kms I just opened up the throttle a little more and took it to 70 just for a few seconds and even took it to 100 for a few seconds (just couldn't resist). Will this have harmed my engine?

Any tips on how I should ride it for the next 500-100 kms, after 1st service?

running in lies not in speed but in the RPM you'll be doin buddy....
keep it below 4000 till 1000 but now you've touched 70 and 100 it would have surely done 8000....

as it was a short burst thn dont worry,it wont harm ur engine...
do vary engine speeds in every gear and for a short bursts take it to 5500....

and after 1000......
just see how beautifully the tacho goes to 12000
