    I too face similar problem in 180 as well. Bike never starts with a single kick after riding for sometime. Need to kick quite a few times.

    Guess it may be another TVS trademark

            Mine's already rich. Did that a long time back. The bike starts with a single kick early mornings. After a few kms, needs like 3-5 kicks

              • Bike received much needed wash today, complete with chain washing, then cleaning,then lubing as the thing was all mucked up, slack adjustment, handlebar tightning (got perfect setting after 5 adjustments), filter cleaning, and clutch play adjustment.

                Here's a pic after doing all the work.

                    A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                            • Guys, Anybody from Rohini (Delhi) side?

                              need to get my bike serviced (don't know when... xams going on... may on 17th.. if not 17th then in the second week of Jan) but not satisfied with the service center i use to go to. Want to try some other, if suggested.

                              Anybody knows about Badli service center?
