Hey guys what is the ideal rpm to up shift to extract the maximum performance from the RTR engine during a drag or for the best acceleration run? I did my 1st 0-60 run yesterday since getting my bike and clocked a 4.6 sec run shifting at about 10k or so.

you're doin fine at 10k....Originally posted by mzone View PostHey guys what is the ideal rpm to up shift to extract the maximum performance from the RTR engine during a drag or for the best acceleration run?

u can cluthless shift the gears if ur each shift happens at 10000 during drag tht'll help u to see 4.2 or even less thn tht....

yes dude..i have done only 60 kms so far & since its new my usual RPM would be aorund 4k and the speed would be 40kmph max(sometimes i touched 45 though)...i think its happenin from the day i got it delivered but i happen to notice it today...

Originally posted by julianpaul View Postaah, that's the sound of the chain and swingarm clattering, if it is a ching ching type that happens on moderate to large bumps. similar conditions that cause the old steering-head/fork noise. i had it for a while and then i think it disappeared after the 3rd service. as in i don't notice it these days. dunno if i'm going deaf. nothing much to worry about but it is annoying. not sure how they fixed it. actually i have no idea what goes on at tvs svc centres. it's like they're from some other planet.
its not the sound of the silencer guard.
i showed to a local mechanic after tightening of the nuts !
hes saying that something is inside of my silencer
.
what should i do now?
how can i get it removed?

Hey don't remove the silencer-it is the nut at the end of the swing arm. Check on the left side. My friend's Refresh had the same sound. A local mechanic also was trying to con him into opening the silencer. We investigated it&found it was not even a one minute job to tighten that nut!Originally posted by snehil View Postits not the sound of the silencer guard.

he said get it replaced by the company !
will check the swing arm nut though !
but the noise is coming from the right side !

It is something like paayal ki jhankaar kinda noise, when you raise/release throttle.Originally posted by snehil View Postthe mechanic did not ask himself to open the silencer.

Don't worry, your bike has no problems. It will not have also, just ride it smoothly.Quench my thirst with gasoline!

@All: What Are You Guys Talking about Sluggish Performance For RTR FI
In Summer Time Can Any One Explain What's Going On ?
Ps: Is The Bike Sluggish Performance From Batch 1 Or Batch 2 ?Failure should never go to heart & success should never go to head,both makes a person to fall in life-Winston Churchill
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift, That is why it is called \"Present\".
Enjoy every moment.

Guys, I just got my RTR FI's tyres pressure checked, and to my surprise the rear tyre had pressure of 22 PSI and front tyre had 19 PSI (recommended is 28-32 for rear tire and 25 for front tire)
. I got it set to 30 PSI and 25 PSI. This was the first time I got it checked... been two weeks since I purchased my FI and have ridden for about 350km! Is it ok or would it have caused any damage by now???

19F/22R is mighty low man. Hope you haven't been speed-bump/pothole bashing with the RTROriginally posted by Nithanth View PostGuys, I just got my RTR FI's tyres pressure checked, and to my surprise the rear tyre had pressure of 22 PSI and front tyre had 19 PSI (recommended is 28-32 for rear tire and 25 for front tire)

If you've been riding slowly over the craters, your bike oughta be fine. Alloy wheels are way stronger than their spoked counterparts. But they aren't made of Titanium !
So, keep the tyres inflated to the recommended pressures at all time to avoid damaging the tyres and the wheels mate
BTW.. Getting the tyre pressure checked whenever you fillup is a good way to maintain a routine.
