    Alright, so only the carb variant has it. In that case then check the Air Injection Unit itself!

      • 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.

            it's just a thing tht injects air to the silencer to reduce the emiission norms....(to convert harmful CO to less harmful CO2)

            CAT is completely diff thing........

                but the kind of noice it makes,,it feels like they're super loose but RTR/FI are coming with loose tappet settings....

                i'm after my mech to set them and he told a BIG NO to me........

                  its partially correct wherein it used to bringdown emission norms, but a part of exhaust gases from the exhaust port is again fed in to the combustion chamber..

                          • 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??!!!
