      Maybe next time will think about this or probably ride to Delhi!! Nope no legal action possible! And believe me, it looks worse than motocross. More like someone hammered it...

              my console was recently changded due to this rpm shooting problem but no positive results in a new 1 too. it also shakes alot whenever i ride with headlight glow!!!!! i guess there is some electrical leakage current due to headlight on .

                Yeah even I suspect that. It manifested during the trip only. Especially when the Headlight is on, its just random!!

                  have u ever noticed k when we use the pass button in a steady position with hdlgt off the fuel pump sound changes a bit like it is being loaded with pass light load??
                  and also if hdlgt is on with high beam thn if i press pass button the intensity of hdlgt changes a bit.
                  these r some characters which suspects bike's electricals.

                    • ^^^the headlight is fed with power from the coil. But the pass switch connects it on the battery. So, even when the headlight is on, if you press the pass switch it gets power from battery then and that gives a full power and steadier beam. About the fuel pump thing, didn't check this on the RTR Fi but such a thing shouldn't happen (ideally). If it is happening, you now know why it might be happening.

                        yaar this fuel pump thing is a bit occassional it doesnt happen always!!!
                        but otherwise pump is absolutely fine n working good.
                        i guess this thing happen due to ac-dc circuit complications in fi as pump is on dc as other electrical components.

                          I had actually done something like this this with a dealer quite sometime back when I was a kid... with some pretty interesting effects.
                          Damn man, you really remind me of myself when i was younger. Awesome stuff...

                          ...but today i would agree with apar and not bother spending the time to screw the movers. but then again if you think about it, if there's something that needs to be done and you don't do it, then what's the point of it all really? nevermind...

                          haven't noticed the fuel pump thing but will keep and eye (or ear) out for it next time.
                          If the headlight is off or on low beam, the pass switch turns on the high beam. If it's already on high when you hit the switch, it adds the low beam to it.

                              1 & 2. tried asking a tvs spares dealer or service center?

                              3. probably not

                              4. the apaches (other than the 180) have 18" rims unlike the r-15's 17 inchers.

I kept shouting and they kept repeating "If u had opted for insurance, we will repair it. That is the reason insurance is available". Even then I dont trust them. Cos with insurance, these guys claim money, repair the bike and give it to me. Its not like settlement to us. So, u really cant say what they will do.

                                Anyways past is pat. Just got the bike today with the new fuel tank and all associated components installed. The RAMKAY guys always treat me well. the total bill came to 4.5K.. FYI, the tank costs 3.5K.

                                The svc guys say that the cone set is proper and no issues. I do feel that its ok in high speeds and the bike does not wallow or wobble. But at slow speeds or hi-speed cornering, the bike tends to kind of twitch slightly to the left. Have to check if its the bike or my mind/brain playing games. Will get it checked from a friend of mine.

                                And last, I had kept a cloth between my saddle bag and the rear panel. Even then riding on terrain has removed the paint from the panels. Any ways to mask it? Am not interested in any ugly stickering. Any good ideas with pics(if possible) welcome! Asked for the RTR Fi sticker, so that I can stick on that paint removed part and I got a shock. The sticker comes only with the panel and not separate it seems!!! So save the sticker people.....

                                Will post the pics here tonight as I cannot upload pics from my mobile at office!

                                P.S: Compared to the Leh experience replacement of the fuel tank now looks like an OK compromise!!


                                Nox, shock of my life. I have had no issues with my bike till now with good/bad fuel yaar !!!

                                sorry buddy! that was of kauria's. i messed between u and him.
                                There's lot to it other than saddle....
