        Ppl would hardly notice them bro.so dont worry. (as if RTR had a good resale value in the 1st place)

        • 180's rear mudguard arrived........

          finally after two months the mudguard of the 180 arrived and i got it fitted today in the bike....

          there is this whole mudguard and it's not in two pieces as it was mentioned by the showroom guy and it cost 338bucks and the they charged 60rs for the fitment....

          but the mudguard comes without the reflector and the reflector and the tail light cover (as shown in the pic,i'm outta cam it got broke so i attached the RTR180's pic, will post the pic after clicking it with my frnds cam)

          and the rear num plate light wont be working.....as it requires re routing of the wire which is very long process so i avoided it.....

            Bro, I got quote for the following components (which they are saying will surely arrive within 10 days)
            Rear Mud Guard: 338
            Cover: 65
            Plate: 59

            So, in your opinion, the RTR 160's mounting plate will work?
            Yes....

                ya he used my old num plate mounting, and the indicators mounting....
                with cover please clear with him what he meant,cuz these people refer to the second mudguard as the cover....

                and 338 bucks is the same i paid,but it didnt included the things i marked with RED in the pic....

                  Wohi toh, as it is it was poor & if the changes were noticeable (which as you mentioned arent) the resale would have tanked further.

                  Awaiting details on these changes though

                    Yeps, second mudguard is the cover, and I saw it in the price list file of RTR 180.
                    So, I guess they are referring the top cover as plate, which was excluded for you.

                    I must find and befriend someone having RTR 180, but till now I haven't find anyone either in my locality or near my office. Atleast I can then sneak the routing of wires for rear lights...
                    Yes....

                      the lighting is possible but what the guy told me that it'll take time to re-route it and will also requite a long wire, but it is possible positively...

                      but i was not having much time so i told him not to do so..
                      and lighting a num plate hardly makes any sense...

                        Very True... And moreover, removing it would save some watts which we can use in headlight

                          • My bike simply refused to start today morning, Tried self couple of time but it just wont wake up. Tried the kick & it took around 5-6 kicks to get it started & then again die, 2-3 more kicks then it came to life but it was sputerring.

                            Idled her for over a minute near 1k-1.5k, switched off & then tried self, nopes nothing happening, kicked twice & she came back, started riding every time I downshift and accelrate it sputters & then fine, after about 10 odd kms it was back to normal.

                            any idea why it behaved like this, she was running fine till last night.

                              Carb or FI version?

                              Possible causes, contaminated petrol, water entry with petrol (by raining or washing)....

                              Hope u have not adjusted the idle screw , if its a carb version.

                                Hi, can you mention the changes?

                                I wonder whether I can "update" those changes in my RTR 180 (of course for free).
