      • My bike always dies down in mornings if i dont keep giving it throttle for 2-3 mins n make rpm to 2k .i think idle rpm is set too low
        but after 45-50 mins in my commute the engine idle goes to at 2000 rpm
        why such a big jump ?

        Also my disc has many scratches n make noise on heavy breaking , im thinking of getting front brakepads opened up n cleaned from some cheap garage cos free service is 1.5 months away , can the mechanics screw something up ??
        im very happy with my brakes n dont want any settings changed

          1. In my case, tappets were not set properly so RPM kept changing. Got it fixed by service guyz.

          2. Don't bother about date of next free service. Whenever you take it to them, say tomorrow, they will do it free of cost becos it is a new bike.

          • Has anybody noticed that the rear end gets a wee bit wobbly or light just after a pillion gets off (not that the pillion is a heavy weight or anything)...?

            I'm guessing its got something to do with the shocks adjusting for the reduced load...Enlighten please (My first bike...so pardon the ignorance)

              dont get your pads opened cuz they end up opening the whole unit and if it'll be takin air then the whole system will be leed and it'll be never as good as the original setting..........
              as i said you earlier go to some garage and clean the pads by using a high pressure water spray they have.....

              • @all

                Guys, me and pundrick are looking to upgrade our headlight to nightbreakers or Silverstar.

                Now RTR's headlight is a 35/35W. Nightbreaker or a Silverstar is 55/55W(if am not wrong). Do we need to rewind the coil or can we just fit the bulb and use it happily without any problems.

                Spoke to the service supervisor abt this at kiran TVS. he said RTR can take the extra load but he was concerned abt the reflector....he says that it might melt due to excess heat produced by these lights.

                It would be really helpful if someone can lets us know if we can use it without much trouble.

                Electrical specs:-

                Generator - Flywheel magneto, 12V, 100W

                Power consumption:-

                Head lamp - Halogen HS 12V, 35/35W
                Position lamp - 12V, 4W*2
                Tail/brake lamp - LED indicators (0.5W/3.5W) has 14 led's
                Turn signal lamp - 12V, 10W*4
                Number Plate lamp - 12V, 4W*1
                Horn : 12V DC*2

                Now how do we calculate the power consumption from the magneto/coil? and find if it has enough juice to power the 55/55w lamp?

                • Am not sure of calculating power consumption and stuff, but am sure nightbreaker(55/60) will not melt ur reflector. Was running 55/60 on my Pulsar. No issues. A 100/90 might cause lots of damage. U can go ahead if ur sure of the mods that are needed on the magneto part. Joel or Santa shud be able to give u better insight.

                    H4 is the bulb in concern. KP, did you find the same one?

                    • Ok Lets do a rough calculation

                      Current consumption

                      Headlight - Max 35 w
                      Taillamp - MAx 49w (3.5*14) are you sure its that many & are all the LEDs dual power or some are at .5 & some at 3.5?
                      Turn SIgnal - 10w (only one will glow at one time)
                      Number Plate - 4w
                      Pilot lamps- 8 w

                      So total is = 106w + horn(consumption)

                      either the LED consumption is wrong Or the total wattage output of 100w is wrong.

                        • Yes its been already launched at the forums, sadly the thread is no more

                          If you are asking about TVS then sorry they havent launched it yet

                            and you did not add the console lights in this!

                            But then, not all power produced is sent to the electricals directly and not all electricals take power from the coil directly... The headlight takes power from the coil directly and everything else takes it from the battery... and the battery is there to hold a good amount of charge... so I guess there won't be any issues even if the coil output rating is 100w.

                            I'm no expert at this but am trying to put some logic to it!

                            Nightbreaker is readily available... SilverStar, the guy took my number today and said he is waiting info from Osram guys abt stock availability... he'd update me when he gets the info.

                            Satish, Silverstar can go in to the RTR without any issues.. Nightbreaker... not very sure if it can keep the reflector tidy!

                              LOL yeah actually since the consumption was not available for console I didnt count it in

                              So Silverstar 55/60 will fit without causing any damage in RTR? Anybody using this setup ?

                                Apar.....i dont want to do any mods on the coil.......saty stock and hve peace of mind

                                Ok the tail lamp has 14 led's. It consumes 0.5W each so 0.5W *14 = 3.5W

                                and coil output is 100W. got all this info from the manual book.

                                and the console LED's were'nt mentioned in the book!

                                And horn and indicators are connected to the battery is'nt it?? so i dont thinkk they take power for the magneto or watever and even the horns???

                                Jeol....where are u????


                                Edit - KP had gave some answer's....did'nt check the last page before this post.

                                @KP

                                I have a spare reflector at home I'll most probably be goin for silverstar. Nightbreakers can wait or let pundrick experiment with it and i'll wait and see the results:P
