    Amazing!! Never heard of such a thing yet! Do you lube the element with a syrup or something?? Its a foam filter, I suppose?
    Hahahaa. Neither i added syrup nor svc guys added mustard oil. i think it was wet by rains and ants gathered there b'coz of cold atmosphere there.
    There's lot to it other than saddle....

      Isnt newer technolgy supposed to make life more comfortable? I agree four-strokers have more moving parts, more complicated, etc etc. But does that mean they can be so badly built? Brand new bike!!! And so many issues

      Really, some of the issues I have been reading in this section scares me off. I think, the best option is to buy a properly raped 2stroker, find a good mechanic, rebuild it to stock & enjoy.

          tyre performance...

          those who are not happy with TVS tyres in RTR/FI can try reducin the pressure to 27 at rear and 19 at front...

          i'm driving at this pressure for the last two days...
          accelaration is suffering a little bit and ur average will be down by 5kmpl or so but grip has improved vastly and now i can corner it with much more confidence and scraped my new R15 pegs...

          though it'll eat up my tyres soon...(tht's good i'll switch to MRF's thn!!!!!!)

              Is it from fuel pump or from the pipe. Either ways, thats too risky!! Take it to ASC immediately and get it rectified...

And pillion also will be happy as he won't scare(i haven't tried yet). Efficiency i got is 56kmpl, with mixed use, over 53kmpl with previous sprocket. top speed i clocked is 118kmph(obstacle occured. had to slow down, road is also not so good), On the curves i used to take in 4th on inclines, i needed to shift to 3rd for a while. thats the only thing i am missing.
                    I had already posted report of 14T. Will post exact technical data after exams.


                    Is anyone using Osram nightbreaker 55/60 headlamp on RTR/RTR-Fi? Which one fits in readily in the standard socket? Howz the performance?

                      Yes, thats sad. Seems TVS hasn't done its job properly. A well made 4 stroker should really not need more maintainence than a 2 stroker. Even 4t oils these days are capable of lasting 5 - 6 thousand km as in the Hero Hondas. Perhaps, the only thing maintainence disadvantage a 4 stroker has is the valve setting. Even that has to be taken care of after tens of thousands of km. Rest all is not too different, maintainence wise.

                        i m havin that (55W) for a few months in my RTR. its good, better than the stock bulbs as its having better visibility and also looks great .It was a direct fit.
                        As the stock pilot lamps were looking weird with this headlamp, i changed that too to bluish white pilots. For that i had to change the holders, think that of zma's( as per mechanic..he had spare with him). its now that the lights look exactly like the Wolf's Eye.

                          ...guys a small problem. when i rev ma bike above 7k ..i can notice a lot of vibrations in the whole dome,like every bloody nut is loose..very irritatin cos you expect the bike to be sturdy and not loosely assembled.anyone faced this.?? and there is a sound from the rear drum when the brakes are applied slowly....guy at the svc said it might be beacuse of sand in the brakes... i had this problem from the very first day...and can the accelerator freeplay be reduced .. i mean i ve ripped it a lot i guess,so the void region has increased.
