    Hello RTRians, its my first post on xbhp. I was following this thread since I made my mood to buy a RTR for me. But don't know why I didn't post anything here. Now I have a yellow RTR Carb. Bike itself is great, a little vibration but who cares. I have done nearly 2.8k on ODO in 40 days of ownership with two services.

    I am facing two issues though, first my disc got lot of lines on it and the second is that I am getting a sound from headlight portion even passing on a small bump. If any friend have any remedy for these illnesses, tell me too.


    Ride safe, riders

      The lines on disk are caused by dust particles that get rubbed when disc is applied . nothing to worry unless they are very deep .
      what kind of sound is coming from headlight ?? are all nuts and bolts properly tightened ?

        Thanks buddy,
        there is a feeling of some looseness there in headlight. Sound is getting higher with time. I felt some times that a bolt is moving some where, when I take a corner on the road.

        Which bike do you have buddy and how much have you rode it.

          check the two bolts on the sides of meter console and one that is under the headlight behind the no. plate .

                              O hi Snehil, thanks for reply. Is this a common problem or some RTRs are having this. It feels very weird when even on a slightest bump your new darling makes noises.
