    I am using Dunlop Geo-Cruiser 100/90-18 in rear. Basically its tube type, But i am running the same tubeless for last 6000kms without any issues. No pressure loss aor anything.

    Differance in tube type and tubeless type of a certain model of tyre is, tubeless have little thicker wall. Dunlop Geo-cruiser is already thicker than other tyres.
    There's lot to it other than saddle....

      True. Handling is what blows me away whenever i ride that machine. Apart from that a typical servicing cost is also much more than other bikes.

      Btw, TVS has launched the RTR '150' in Brazil and just take a look at the tyre and the way they are marketing their products there.The Tyres are Pirelli Sports Demon

            Nops, other way round!!

            May be it's got to do something with the excise ceiling like what we have for below 1.2 ltr Passenger cars.

                          OT:

                          10K, nice deal man...
                          The RX has this oil pump problem always, better disconnect the pump and add the oil with petrol,it'll save tank from rusting too and will be lot more safer.

                          Ps: post some pics at the two stroke section pls.


                          @chicane

                          RTR 150??? is it A150 coverted to RTR160?

                          It's a 160, as the rear sticker says.

                            Pls pls....can you do the same for my bike too? But i want fluorescent green instead of golden. Then my bike will be faster than yours

                            @renny

                            Thats what i was thinking. But i hate to mix oil with petrol, coz i forget at times

                            Pics? lolz....its a mix of all bikes from rx series with some parts from suzuki as well. Will post the pics latter on

                              @Satish: i will throw another K&N sticker then..

                              PS:
                              A well calibrated Oil pump is hard to find\maintain (due to the varying level of fuel)
                              Premix is the best\safest approach.... long back when I had (access) to a RX, we used to fill some 5rs sachet per 50Rs of fuel... (or something like that :P)

                              Dont worry, the bike will ensure you remember it just dont end up feeding oil to your other bikes too!

                                Tip by TVS race engineer on RTR vibes.

                                At ARE, few participants asked the race engineer about non standard vibrations their RTR giving to them. He suggested a solution as follows:
                                loosen the engine mounting bolts while keeping the bike on center stand and Zero level. Re-align the engine and tighten the bolts. That will solve the problem.

                                I havent faced any non standard vibrations. So havent tried it.
                                There's lot to it other than saddle....
