      RTR FI is an addictive machine. As you see the open road ahead, . . . . . . . do I need to say anything
      But try to control your eargasm till run-in, although 5K rpm is a safe limit, but you're bound to go beyond that due to its addiction. It's Ok once in a while...

        Will i have to drill the hole to increase the size.
        The nozzle size should be standard. I had converted the stock tyres to tubeless in my RTRFI without any issues. All it took was to install new nozzles and taken out the tubes. Search for the correct nozzle (Steel material would be good, may cost Rs 150~175 per pc.). If the nozzle is not sitting from inside, then you can use rubber washer before inserting it in the rim and then tight it on rim. Gosh, don't have any picture of it, otherwise it wud have been better illustrated.
        Yes....

                this looks 110 to me and yes chicane is right, but the mubguard is not correctly alligned infact, same issue with me too after getting the 180's mudguard, it inclines towards right, although the tyre and chain are all properly set by me....

                • @nox2505: Is the Geo-Cruiser also coming in 17" size? Coz AFAIK the tyre only comes in 100/90/18" spec.

                  @chicane1879&rennycornelius: I guess thats due to other vehicles bumping into him from behind! My Fiero F2's rear bumper is a couple of inches outside the tyre, due to the same reason!

                    na, these mudguards are not correctly made, my original one was also not aligned, and the new 180's one is the same.....

                        even when you'll see the fairing of the RTR from inside, it's not that perfectly made, but if you'll see YAMAHA or HONDA in the department, then we'll see what makes this JAPS so diff..........

                              Of course, but the design is their own, just the molding site is not their own

                              • is it safe to install tire lock for safety? Also, should I get the wheel balancing and alignment done on my own as my fi is only 2 weeks old or it is initially done by the showroom people?
                                One more query I would like to know is the fuel gauge reading? It has 8 bars. After driving 300 kms, it is showing 6 bars. Can we have some idea to know the amount of fuel consumed and also to read the fuel meter?
