    The RTR does not have a rev limiter. In fact it can reach 12k RPM when in neutral. All the other bikes you mentioned have a rev limiter that cuts the revs before reaching 10k. There is nothing wrong with your tachometer. Without a rev limiter you can add performance parts that help your engine performance at high revs.

    And looking for rear disc petal change (with pads), any good mechs around whitefield? Or should stick to SVC.
    Grip is way better than stock tires. I bought mine at MRF dealer, JC Road itself few months back.

    Not sure about whitefield I stay in south blore.

    I am using both the tires you mentioned, trust me they are great. But i got a different quote for them 1.8k and 2.5k from MRF Dealer, JC Road
    @Kantu, thanks man. My bad about that, front is 17 and rear 18. i will check with JC road dealers. I heard there few dealers on JC road and Lalbagh road? Any personal encounters with few of them? Hows the grip of Tires on Dry and Wet conditions.

    Tyre dealer in Bangalore

    Hi Guys,


    New to the city, need to change boots for my baby (RTR 160 FI) 30K on odo still on stocks, please suggest reliable dealers.Planning for Zapper FS 90/90-17 (Front) and Zapper Q 110/90-18 (rear).
    However there is one confusion, please excuse my ignorance on the matter , the front and rear tyre dia is 17, whereas someone few posts back suggests the above mentioned size (110/90-18) for rear. ?

    Apart from this, have enquired about the pricing at Tyre World (Opp. Shell Bunk), on Varthur Road, Whitefield, the owner quoted Zapper FS - 2000 and Zapper Q - 2800. Your valuable pointers on the prices quoted.

    Thanks..

    Hey guys,
    I have a carb RTR 160 (2008), ridden about 30k now
    The problem is its giving me bad mileage,
    getting around 35kmpl only
    The performance is as good as ever.
    The clutch plate needs replacing, but i have been putting it away for a loong time, how much of a difference can it make in the mileage?
    My riding style is not for Mileage, but still from what i see in the forum 35kmpl, is on the low side!

    And its time for engine oil change, Which one suggested?
    How can a semi synth oil help me if i put it?
    and which one is recommended? I am at pune, so Shell is not so difficult to procure but the rates matter, dont want a very deep hole in my pocket!
    TIA
    The clutch can affect your performance and mileage in a significant way. Maybe you're facing the problem of clutch slipping. Just google it you'll understand.

    I will definitely suggest the Shell Advance AX-7 semi synth. The cost is Rs.330/- in Hyderabad. So it won't put a hole in your pocket.

    Semi synth oils are a compromise on full synth oils but definitely more advanced than ordinary mineral oils. Semi synth oils are better at heat management and provide a much smoother performance.
