    Get it done in the next servicing, or under complaint...



    Moreover, to clean the sludge in the engine, try using Bardahl's Engine Klene.
    One bottle for one full-tank petrol. Do it for continuous 1000 Kms, so you would be needing 2 bottles of it. Costs Rs.65 here.



    Thanks man as I also think I need to go for cleaning of tappets and all the thinks on my bike too after that the loud noise will reduce



    Yes man I also feel that my bike is also become a bit sluggish looking forward to do that but is it safe as I think it is fuel additive and is it safe to use in four strock engine?????? and need to change my bike engine oil as from the beginning I am using TVS 4t oil but presently thinking of using motul...............guys any suggestion which one in motul I should I go for and is it safe to use fully synthetic oil.......it is all ready crossed 13000 k.m.mark...........

      Any suggestion from your side also man as I really a bit upset with my bike's condition shall I go for the flushing process or is it other issue........please help me man

          @sunny9830687955:

          Use multiquote option.

          Thanks for the compliment, my bike is one and a half years old.

          About the engine flush stay away from it as much as possible.

          The rear mudguard was for 350 (not sure i forgot) plus the labour for the fiment.

            Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                Yeah, Because TVS didnt have much faith on the reliability of the supplied battery and the starter motor!!

                  Yes, you may be right. What I wanted to mention was about carbon deposits over piston and walls.

                  True, even my bike's battery died within 7 months of ownership...

                      @renny- what about this dry chain? is it a kind of chain tht attracts minimum dust particles(dry one) or its just ur cleaning efficiency tht matters here!!!

                        It's more about his cleaning efficiency. I wonder if the o-rings remain intact in spite of heat produced by friction.

                          guys i wanted to place a 17'rear wheel alloy of A180 in my Fi with 110/80 IRC tyre.
                          what can be the pros and cons of this modification.
                          things i hav in my mind are-
                          1. grnd clearance will dec by few cms.
                          2. hav to cut the chain cover for bigger profile(110/80) like A180.

                          as acc to the manual of A180 the swing arm of A180 is longer as compare to rtr160, does this thing effect in neways after rear wheel mods???
                          plz pour in ur suggestions.

                              The RTR's kick lever is very poorly designed, it looks very bad to me so got rid of that, and if my bike stalls at the middle of road with starter not working, then i will "Dhakka" start it..

                              Dry chain is nothing but the original chain, cleaned by using kerosene and after that kept that way without any lube whatsoever.

                              I have done almost 800ks this way, the chain never gets that much hot as we think, (i have evn touched the rollers after doing 10kms at speeds of 70-80kmph, and they were "touchable") with no troubles, the chain looks spanking clean everytime too.

                              By opting a 17" wheel you'll lower the overall gearing by little margin, that'll give you better acceleration in gears but will eat up the top speed and the highest speed attainable in each gear, it can be corrected by shaving off a tooth from the rear sproaket.

                              You dont have to cut the chain cover as their are other members here who are happily running on 110 section tyre without any probs of it rubbing against the chain cover.

                                Good to see a BRAND new RTR.

                                But, 2 things i did'nt like:
                                1) Running chain dry. What is the point of running chain dry??

                                2) Leg guards removed; I think you have racers skills.
