    First the disc was giving trouble then the forks, then the headlight then the caliper and now the bearings have conked off

    I replaced the bearings once at 15k kms. And now at 37k i have to replace it again!
    How do you find out if the wheel bearings are busted? I'm getting a doubt on my TVS bike's bearings too now!

      Hold the tyre with both the hand one on each end and try tilting it....if you feel there is a ply then the bearings are busted!

      @apar..

      The aligment is proper anna...i think the bugger who fitted the tyre screwed up all this.....all this started happening after i got my tyres changed

        Hi Guys

        I am Facing problem with front Tyre.
        My front tyre wobble on catching some speed
        I realize it on plane roads
        Service center person said its bcoz of more air in front Tyre(well that was rectified)
        Then he also did some handle work.

        but still problem is there

        My friends say its circumferencially out..
        So i should do wheel balancing

        any solutions on it............
        and also tell me why the problem evolved in my bike(is it because of riding it on high speed, I don't do stunts)

            for comparisons post in the what bike section , anything particular about rtr/fi ask here .

            regarding ur query - acceleration , Braking ,mileage ,handling . all are better in RTR fi . gsr is a more commuter type bike while the RTR is more sportier . Gsr also has more comfortable seating while RTr has a sportier one . the GSr has a smoother engine while RTR has a not so smooth one with Vibes at 4-5.5 Krpm . If u buy the GSr do check for rusting issues as some owners have reported rusting in various parts .The Vibes in The Fi version are lesser than The carb one
            Do try to get TD's from some friends .

              i usually tune my engine four and half rotations from the closed screw.. he said, since the bike ages in time, he had to use it! any idea what it is?
              anyone???

              A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

              Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                  Ive read a lot of this thread, but cant seem to find anything about how good/bad is the servicing that TVS offers for the 180. Can anybody help me out with that? It'd be even better if it was someone from Pune.
                  Going to be booking my 180 this weekend. xbhp helped me reach the decision to get the RTR, so thanks everyone who posted on this thread! And on the FZ thread. AND on the GS150R thread.

                      the new 220's tyre compound is the one to go for....
                      now i'll go to the showroom to get the price of the 180's rear rim....

                          He bought it for 67k OTR. Its probably 18 months old sold it for 40k she had 14.5k kms on the odo!

                            the svc manager told me 4.5k based on the fi's rim assuming the 180's would cost the same.

                            i'm actually thinking of either the zapper-c 3", zapper-q 100/90 or geo-cruiser 100/90 to keep the 18". only prob with the geo is that the cbz, for which it was originally designed, had a really wide spoked rim. all the alloy rims seem narrower which leads to the geo being squeezed into a narrower, curved profile. experienced this after fitting zma alloys to the cbz.

                              Go for a 100/80 zap q.

                              trust me...u'll miss the true fun of RTR even if you go a little bit higher in profile like me.

                              Rode a RTR with stock tyre yesterday and now am cursing why did i go for a Higher profile. but hey i has made the gearing taller now i get 70kmph at 5k rpm

                                Thanks Satish

                                Ouch thats a lot of depreciation, I was under the impression that RTR would probably have a good resale but it seems its like the Pulsar
