There are a few options regarding a few options. I have an RTR 180 and I presume it's pretty much the same for 160 as well. You can try Shell AX7 Semi Synthetic. I'm currently running on Motul 5100 15W50 semi synthetic oil. I'm pretty happy with it.Originally posted by sumeshpremraj View Post

Hey guys if the front tyre air pressure of my RTR 160 is 33-36,the handle wobbling stops,
but if its kept to normal that is 25-28,the handle wobbles.The svc people checked the fork,
front wheel and replaced the Steering balls,cone set washers and fork oil seal and done the
alignment-everything is alright.But i should keep the air pressure of front tyre 33-36 which is
very high for the front according to me,if its reduced less than 33-36,the wobbling starts.Please help.

Hi Xbhpians...Recently it started raining in Bangalore, that the idea of changing my stock tires had started brimming up in my mind...Ok I know there is a separate tire section thread in xbhp, but I wanted to hear it directly from RTR guyz who actually use the tire models which I'm looking for...It might be a re-opening or redundant query but please bear with me & I'm waiting for your valuable feedbacks & suggestions which will be really helpful for me...
Now to the query part, my steed is RTR-Hyperedge & have been running on stock tires for more than 21k in odo...
I have almost decided on the front tires which will be MRF-Zapper-FS (MRF Zapper FS 90/90-17) after so much of searching in xbhp.
Now the rear tires is something I'm bit confused. As you know RTR-HE-160 rear rim size is 18'. So not much of options unlike 17' ones.
I'm happy with the stocks in dry conditions but I have had so much of scary moments in wet conditions that I'm forced to change my stocks even though the threads are still good & can run for another 10k. But now that I'm recently married I cant take that extra risk because I have a pillion rider most of the time.
I'm looking for 100/90-18 profile which will save our life in wet conditions.
I have kept a few options depending on the availability part.
1. Zapper Y -> MRF Tyres
2. Zapper Q -> MRF Tyres
3. Zapper C -> MRF Tyres
4. MoGrip-Meteor -> MRF Tyres
Here Zapper Y costs around 1900/- tubeless & MRF showroom guyz suggest this over others.
They say zapper-q (rs. 2300/-) is good only on highway roads & is not that good as promised by MRF based on the feedback they got from customers..
No one suggested zapper-c (almost same price as zap-q) but seeing the tire-grooves design I felt it would do better than zap-y because zap-y is almost flat design on the center part of the tire making me doubtful how good it will be in wet conditions. Also one of my firend who uses unicorn said their stocks are zapper-y & is not good. He suggested to go for stunner stocks which I dont know what model it is. But again tire works differently for each bikes. That's the reason I prefer hearing from you guyz.
MoGrip(around same price as zap-Y but not tubeless) is good but will effect my mileage, acceleration & gear ratios as its heavy.
I'm sure most of u guyz would have tried any of these models sometime in your riding career.
So, please do help me to make a good decision with your valuable insights on experience by using them.
Are you using stock tires??? Normally for me it goes the other way. Like if I put above the standard pressure my bike wobbles more. I mean kind of bumpy.Originally posted by 0mnipresent View PostHey guys if the front tyre air pressure of my RTR 160 is 33-36,the handle wobbling stops,

Yesterday, a weird thing happened to my 160...when i started my bike,it began it's usual self test & the needle kinda got hanged at redline rpm while the digital screen showed everything even when the key was removed. so i opened the battery cover & disconnected the wire with connectors next to battery & voila, the console was back to normal.So, is this something serious as i had just kept the bike in sun for sometime in college & i am also close to the first servicing & am going to give it to TVS SVC people soon.BTW what all changes/things need to be on first servicing including oil change, clutch tightening(my clutch seems to be little loose), air filter change, brake oil,etc ?A Bike is as good as it's Rider & Vice-verse. Ride Safe, Ride Happy !!!
