Yeah they are the tappets&tend to make more noise when heated up. Setting it is a simple thing&takes hardly 15min.for the mech.to do it. Get it done at the next service. This valve loosening will eventually lead to drop in mileage too.Quench my thirst with gasoline!

man i was doubtin it too....Originally posted by kauria View PostThere is no Secondary Air Injection unit in RTR Fi. Check the manual.
it's just a thing tht injects air to the silencer to reduce the emiission norms....(to convert harmful CO to less harmful CO2)Originally posted by nox2505What is secondary air injection unit? U mean Catcon?
CAT is completely diff thing........Last edited by rennycornelius; 05-29-2009, 05:57 PM.The Magician"

Sprocket changed!!
Finally, I plonked in the R15's 14T front on the RTR. The difference is just phenomenal. I redlined the bike in the first 3 gears and this is what I achieved(All gearshifts were done exactly at 10.5K rpm):
1st gear - 50kmph
2nd gear - 76 kmph
3rd gear - 101 kmph
4th gear - went till 9K rpm and IIRC sppedo was showing some 112 kmph.
Ran out of road after that. The bike now feels much docile. Vibes have reduced, A LOT!!!!
Last I remember, the bike was doing 75kmph in 5th gear at 5K rpm!!!
But the bike kinda feels like it needs a down-shift to overtake if ur in top gear. It is now possible to hold on to the revs much longer in all gears!!! I for one like it as its any-day better than the R15 and is also much more comfortable! The low-end is nthing to talk about. But the mid-range and top-end are just thumping!!! the power rush is from 5K and pulls strongly till a good 10K. 
Who said the RTR is not good for cruising?
P.S: Who said the RTR needs a 6th cog badly as u hit the rev-limiter often??!!!Last edited by Aparajith; 05-30-2009, 10:25 PM.Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner. Liberty is when the sheep has a gun.
