It looks huge and should last really really long.

What about that 100ML can??
Is that freely available in your SC's???

**Tron05** · 06-19-2010, 09:56 PM

^ Naah.. they just had this 500ml cans.

Bike feels really good, but thr is still some jarring sound coming from somewhere n the console.
Btw, guys, the brake fluid on the right handle was not full(it was full when handle is turned fully to the left and was almost empty when handle is turned right.)
Is this normal?

Also, about the shifting to neutral, i still never get it in first attempt. have to try many times to get it to neutral.And the service guy says this is the prob with all apaches and nothing can be done about it. is thr no solution for this?

Check for the rubbers in the fairing, they might have been dropped.

That brakefluid vanishing and appearing is not normal, get it checked.

The RTR gives you a tough time finding neutral sometimes, and if the clutch setting is wrong it'll get worse, so quite normal.

This looks JHAKAAS...
I want this man, cuz the one i painted is years behind this thing in finish, but the SC's here are not having this in stock.

PS:
I'am in habit to see tank extensions from this view, so this looked quite odd at the first time!!!!!!!!!

Split seat!!

@abhiwar, have a great ride, ride safe

BTW
Got the seat job done last week for 450 bucks. Pushed the split further back compared to Julian's seat and added a bit of foam to the rear. That's one reason why it probably looks a little taller. And the rear looks a little curved, because of the pieces of foam added to the top and side. I didn't observe it when the job was done as it was dark already

YOu beat me!!!!!

The seat looks little out of proportion as you pushed the rider one at the back, but the work is neatly done.

Yes it looks out of proportion. But the idea behind doing that was when i go on long solo rides it'll help me stretch a bit

Go back few pages of the RTR180 thread, as it was unofficially a tire thread for RTR for sometime....

120 section tyre would be too wide for the 160 and it might touch the swingarm. Instead a 110-section tyre would be a sensible choice. And yes, upsizing would hamper mileage as well as bike's performance(acceleration) a bit.
