so much for all the trouble and time spent...
mine too does 118 max (crouching but windy condition). dont know if thats a prob. but have heard RTRs doing more than that.
Yes i was also crouched but i think a 2-4 Kms were left, if i got a little more space at that time. I saw on youtube some people doing 138 Kmph on RTRs, I don't know whether it is a speedo error or they got extreme machines.|| My Doc says bhp is directly proportional to testosterone.

that's the top speed of the RTR....Originally posted by Trigger View Post

if you'll keep on giving it a full fisted treatment on top with you in crouched position you'll be able to see 125 but for that you need atleast 2-3 kms after achieving 118.....
it's just a thin and i mean very thin coat of oil...Originally posted by thegreat1 View PostBut it occurs again even if i wipe it!! ...............
wipe it whenever it occurs,it'll be happing once in two weeks or so...
go back few pages in the thread,it's discussed in detail....Originally posted by thegreat1 View PostAny suggestion for rear tyre,I want a broader tyre then stock one...............
you can see 150 on the speedo if you'll enter downhill slope with you on your RTR doin 118-120...Originally posted by rocker View PostYes i was also crouched but i think a 2-4 Kms were left, if i got a little more space at that time.

the max RTR can achieve varies...
ONLINESATISH achieved 136 on his RTR on straight and i achieved the same on my FI but it takes time..
it gets to 126kmpn very easily and quickly.....The Magician"

Top Speed
Even my FI has done 125kmph with a pillion, touches 122-123kmph in a lot of occasions.. but whenever i was riding alone i could reach only up to 120kmph.. this must be bcoz of the conditions like wind, gears that u're wearing, slope of the road etc...

I gunned my friend's RTR Refresh on a downslope-it reached 122kmph on the speedo with about 80% of throttle. I assume it had some more juice left in it-I should have twisted it more, but the road was too narrow!Originally posted by shreeda View PostEven my FI has done 125kmph with a pillion, touches 122-123kmph in a lot of occasions.. but whenever i was riding alone i could reach only up to 120kmph.. this must be bcoz of the conditions like wind, gears that u're wearing, slope of the road etc...Quench my thirst with gasoline!

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

^^Oh u used K&N? That surely will impact ur cylinder walls man! Remember that these filters are porous and will surely not filter as much as our sponge filters do...Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner. Liberty is when the sheep has a gun.

Dude, just a small question. Did u chuck out ur old airfilter box and got the k&N fitted directly onto the carb's mouth using a small pipe???Originally posted by razorBlades View Postyeah buddy.. i just wanted to feel it for sometime.. removed it within 1200kms.. but my mistake!

I am using 55/60 philips standard headlamp.Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View PostWell, you have connected the h/l directly to battery. Let us know what happens after a week!
Anyways, what bulb did you use?
I am running with the same setup for last 5 weeks. I have seen the low battery indicator once after riding for 2 hrs in busy traffic(i am running larger horns, each consuming 3 amps equalling 72 watts). The bike was standstill for about 5 days before that. Other than that, no issues. Kauria also have done the same setup.There's lot to it other than saddle....
