    • 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.

            Get both seals changed along with the oil.

            That A$$hole made your work easy, now you just have to put that 160 logo....

            That's sad....
            may be someone backed his car into your bike.

            the fairing will set you back by 1200-1800 bucks, plus 110 for indicator.

              Remember the Horn issue???

              Get both seals changed along with the oil.

              +1 for that.

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

              zapper Q, zapper Q, zapper Q............

              +1 for that..

              Or stand was not set properly.

                • 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.

                      • 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!!!

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