      Don't change the bike, just take it to a dedicated shocker repair mechanic.

      • No I am not selling the RTR, Also the sound comes very rarely.

        What I meant was that if such small issues kept cropping up, I might be forced to think that way

          I know that buddy, but small issues are expected with body parts, suspension etc.in the country in which we live!
          I'm restoring my TVS bike too in the same way. Got the shockers repaired, oil refilled&next is to attack the body parts, clamps etc.
          Once the disc plate is replaced it will stop well.

          I'm going OT here, but the point TVS bikes run smooth even after many years if maintained well. No changes in engine refinement/gearshifts. Build quality is not as good as the Japs.

              Depends on how major the damage was. If just misaligned or slightly bent throughing/fork overhauling works well.
              If the bike has taken a major hit, it would be worthwhile changing them.

                  Mostly company mechs can deal with these things easily, but they don't show the inclination to do so. Try motivating one of them with you know what works best!

                    Sarvajit I have owned a Pulsar 180 DTSi v1 for 3 years & 39k kms, Also owned a ZMA for 2 years & 13.5k kms. I was sad when I sold both of them(infact lost my sleep when I did that ), I dont think I would be if & when I sell the RTR.

                    I think that sums up well

                      I can understand your feeling. I don't understand why you sold your ZMA that early though.

                      • Ah long story may be some other day

                        But yes its me to who should be blamed for my current state of attachment/detacment with the RTR & not the bike.

                        • change 18" rear to 17"

                          How much will it cost to change 18" rear to 17" ??? Read a post before about this but no one mentioned the cost.
                          Has anyone attempted this here ??? No doubt it'll look sexier

                              Not sure about the RTR but the FI has a 24 month / 30,000 km warranty.

                              ~4.5k for the rim alone.
