RTR completed 51k kms today and problems started creeping in.
Battery weak - Self start not working.
Right fork seal busted!
Some A#$hole pulled out the 180 logo sticker from the triple clamp!
Gears getting stuck (side was the culprit)
Rear tyre is almost worned out!
Its been abt 3k kms since i shifted to motul 300v 5w40. Its still holding good even after a 1800kms highway run....which include 100kmph+ speed for almost 1500kms

Returned home at 7.30pm from office, parked my bike on the side stand(in my parking area of the building complex). Went out in my car.
Then i come back home at 10pm and find this!!!!.
Checked with the night security, they have no idea as they have just come for their shift.
Now, how much damage should i expect?
damages are
- fairing visor is totalled.
- front left indicator is broken
And i still have no clues what might have happened.

@Satish, your bike was skeptical of getting RTR180 as sibling. SO she gulped it.

Went for the repairs + 6th servicing today.
Fairing Visor - Rs340
Indicator -Rs190
Engine oil - Rs240
Service charges -Rs330
O2 polish - Rs350
This was the estimates they gave. Was wondering whether to claiming insurance, but would have got only 50% for plastic parts - depreciation. and on top of that would lose the NCB next yr. So didnt claim insurance.
servicing is getting costlier nowadays. Earlier it servicing charge was about 200 and oil cost has been ever increasing.Last edited by Tron05; 06-18-2010, 11:24 AM.

tvs's default Tru4 oil. Will take the oil with me from now on. maybe sprinta.
its another fancy bike polish company the service center has tie up with. Actually had paint marks on the bike, thanks to the recent building painting and i am too lazy to take out the paint marks.. so asked the polish guy to remove all marks and thn do the polish..
As per them..it protects the bike's color from rain/heat..and many other points which i dont remember exactly..

Rain effects"
The whole chain has got a coating of the mud...
Washed it with water, then cleaned it with the cloth, then applied fine "film" of coconut oil.
I fear i have to do it every alternate ride.
Didint got time to wash my bike too, the whole bike is covered in half inch thick coating of mud..
And even the pillion portion of seat is all brown, no one can read my num at the plate as the 180's mudguard played Piccaso!!!The Magician"
