      Its plastic and flexible. Just pull from front side and it will be out.
      There's lot to it other than saddle....

          I have done it dozens of time. while fitting in, insert rear end and then press front. reverse of removal.

            the R15's best....but it's available in 17" only same with the MRF's the new 220 sports...
            that leaves you with Zapper Q it's really good tyre,performs awesome in both wet and dry and has amazing grip and will give you an option of 110/90 as it's available in one...
            but bro ye tubeless ka option hatana padega!!!!!!!

            dont knw about the Michelin though....

                    Are they cheaper too?
                    Yes bro...Zma pads cost abt 2300 where as RTR's cost only 350-390. A even better options is the ASK pads that comes for just 100 bucks.

                    You would have to remove the gear shifter from the shaft!

                    • Can anyone know the cost of RTR 180 cylinder kit? I am planning to change my apache 150's cylinder kit to that of RTR 180. Also changing the carb to that of BS 29(P180/P200/RTR180) from BS 26(150/RTR 160). RTR 180 cylinder kit is already available. Already got 2nd hand P200 carb for 2k.

                        could anyone give me the contact for service engineer or someone who addresses such customer issues? I am located in Bangalore.
                        guys, any help on this?

                        • Hey Guys,

                          Has anyone tried splitting the headlight beam??
                          I mean, not by stickers, but some mechanical changes.
                          Yes....

                            i guess the bore kit should'nt cost more than 3.5-4.5k including the piston. I dont think you would need a new con rod and crank. I think both RTR 180 and A150 has the same con rod and crank.

                            Me too have the same idea but am a bit hessitant looking at the cost....i have to get a con rod, crank and bore kit......so wonder if its worth doing it or exchange it for a RTR 180

                            is it possible in the 1st place? Even if it is why would you want to do it?
