        I had Put in in my bike,the oil is thick,so pick up will kinda get hampered and when the engine will heat up you will see that the throttle response will go down.
        Well you can use it for 2000kms

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

                The links will become hard, and will bent.
                i have experienced it after running for almost 6 months on dry chain.
                oil it.

                        yeah, it will be better if someone could compare Power1, Motul xW40 and Motul xW40 with respect to RTR180. I'm thinking about one of these three. Suggest me which one should I go for.

                          You will get taller gear ratios.
                          There's lot to it other than saddle....

                          • Hi Guys,

                            Just wanted to know how easy it is to get spares for RTR from TVS SVC?? Friend of mine is keen on picking up 180 but then is skeptical coz of his experience with his previous ride, Fiero F2. Not here to create any speculations but solely to get the owners' first hand views.

                            Thanks

                              So will that decrease my stock pick up or pick up will remain the same and roll ons will take a hit???
