saw that before you came in. He had FZ's alloy fitted (obviously) and it didn't look like he had to alter the swing arm... or at-least it looked very neat!

Yea it doesn't scrape anything, many of my friends while looking at it check to see if it does but no.It's designed quite well... Only thing is it feels a lil different to kick it because it bends towards the right...

It doesnt scrap the footrest unless the position of the brake lever is changed.
As for the exhaust it is different atleat from outside the end is different.

tht's strange guys......

You just try to adjust the position of the lever there will be a point where it will not scrap against the kick.
BTW the gear lever position is not suiting me thats higher that what i want but when i adjust it, it gets very low i am not able to find the position that suits me

To solve the FI problem, just check up the FI system with PC Diagnostic Tools at Service Centre. And adjust the Idle RPM, CO and Temperature, after this everything will be fine. Mine was shuts off when slowing down, breaking at square etc. and I had also to accelerate when starting the bike. After adjusting Idle RPM, CO and temperatur, now it runs smoothly and pleasingly. Always insist and demand that Service Centre mechanic checks the system and adjusts the FI with the PC Diagnostic Tools. EFI bikes only can be tuned and checked and adjusted with the PC Diagnostic Tools.

Do this, your FI problem will be solved.

Can anyone plaease let me know where do i take my RTR FI for servicing in Hyderabad for the PC Diagnostic stuff.

thats just crap..We fought with our local dealer who told us the same thing..There's no clause on those lines in any manual..Its just a retarded interpretation of the negligence clause..
They thought that we were cheap and din't want to change the oil..(we were going to change it after the service..)

GO BACK AND FIGHT! ;-)

Thats true. For every service of my RTR Fi I take the MOTUL mineral and the service guys do not complain. Even if it is TVS TRU4 they ask us to buy it from the spares shop nearby. So not an issue at all!

i have sort listed rtr fi,pulsar 200 n fz16

i wanna go for rtr fi for its technology....but confused wether this bike would suit me..........help me out guys

Absolutely. It WILL suit you. It is smaller than some other bikes but the ergos are pretty much spot-on. My friend who's ~6' tall and 80kg is very comfortable on my FI. In fact he prefers it to his cbz because of the added power. He commutes 80km a day in rush hour bombay traffic so he should know. Dunno why the other poster mentioned touring since you didn't ask, but yeah touring might be a bother on the rtr. Depends on personal riding style too i guess.
