discs & disc pads are considered consumables. Discs get worn out if the user uses the brakes after the pads wear out. That can never come under warranty.

rear disc pads would last about 15K KMs easily if used as supposed to be used. If only the rear brake is used on a powerful bike then I have even seen cases that needed pads replacement before 2.5K KMs.

thanks for the info! AFAIK disc plate is not a wear and tear consumable. but ya may be because of the worn out disc pads, the plate is gone.
and one funny thing! he has a chetak too

Isnt that the SAI (Secondary Air Injection) device, used for pollution control?

the SAI is never is in airbox, that thing is located near the 'head' (you can see it in RTR180) and that's for greener fumes (by injecting oxygen or air in the exhaust to break carbon monooxide into lesser harmful carbon dioxide)

this is on the other hand for crisper inputs...

I also thought it was the SAI, but somebody here (Renny was that you) told me there is no SAI Unit in RTR Fi.

i think that was me brother.....

Thats accumulator. Go on! do it. it doesn't matter whether you have carb or fi. If you want to check, just remove it and take a ride. Its not advisable for longer use. But remember, by doing it, you will be running lean in case of Fi, as the air flow sensor is on air box.

that thing will be putting more air in the mixture in sudden throttle inputs and in case of FI, isn'nt it's supposed to ''sense'' that the mixture is lean more than needed and should provide more fuel automatically???
that's i'm confused about cuz in carb we can do it ourselves...

@ Renny-
The Bajaj's shitty exhaustec has evolved from this traditional intake buffer. That is just a plastic box. U can put in a cola can also in that place. today i tried removing this buffer and installing a filter at that place. the low end torque was way better (even better than Fi). But, at high revs, acceleration and power i felt was too low. Bike was strugling to touch 100kmph. Its obvious, as A:F ratio was lean. So, placed that plastic box back in place. Will try same configuration with inner filter removed and RTR180's 112 size main jet.

In case of Fi, Got to study ECU logic. Or you can try it.

I do belong to Faridabad. Is there any bike club in Faridabad ? Who else are the xbhpians from Faridabad.

O hi Mr. Safe, I am from Fbd but don't get in touch with any xbhpian from fbd. Although I tried to find out some but failed (Lazy efforts

). Where in Fbd do you live ??

Biking club in faridabad can be from sec-16, as I saw some boys stunting togather. But if you like we can have our own. I have a name too (Speedy boyzz ) !!

Like it ?? if not suggest me one !!

Isnt it the job of SVC to check brake pads at every service for every customer? I mean a customer may not know without seeing indicator on brake pads whether its time to change or not.
Maybe people are still arent out of the phobia that bike may do a stoppie if they use only front brake, F R ratio should be 60:40 right?

So, it is time your friend learns to ride the bike like an RTR and not like a Chetak.

OMG...

, ROFL.

that low end torque thing sounds intresting....

and this settings with the jets i miss the most now....

Power1 got cheaper.

All Xbhpians around, please note, castrol have introduced 30/- off scheme for power1. I bought 4 bottles yesterday and got 1 for free under mechanics coupon scheme.

TVS is coming out with a chain spray! Its called tur 4 chain spray or something. Hyd SVC's got some sample. Sales might start in a few days!

Heck... that's funny. But that is a fact so he better adjust his braking style.

Yes, it is the job of the SC guys to check the pads at every service - even if not for the customer, for selling more spares to the customer. But how many chances do we give them to check that? Once out of the SC, we see their face only at the next service. And we burn out the pads very quickly too. In fact, it is more an owner's job than the SC guy's job. All listed in the manual.

Haven't you ever heard a discussion on "why the bike makers are giving disc brake in the front??? it is a waste and makes us fall. they should give it on back brake so we can brake confidently" ???

Good. But useless oil in comparison to its competition. And the competition was already costing Rs 30 less anyway.

Buddy I checked that out nearly 15 days ago. It was a 500 ml bottle in blue color.

Finally managed to hit 12k rpm @ 5th gear on sunday!
