  • 33K's is high time for the clutch plates, if they're not gone now they've surely lost their charm, so get them changed.

      Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

        33K without a fork oil change is just too much! Fork oil needs change evry 10K kms... Beyond which it looses its viscosity and the volume decreases

            Clutch plates yes... (My RTR is about 39K now without the change in clutch plates, I am a bit confused as its as crisp as ever!) but I will still change em before getting lehied!

            Fork oil! - Do it!!!! Supposed to be done in 15K or so if I am not wrong!

            Refer above! I guess depends on riding style as well!

                Like in DIY section HYDBIKER showed a technique of adjusting the RPM on R15.
                the idling rpm can be adjusted by a spring loaded screw behind the throttle near the intake port (see the rubber connector on the engine intake). its adjustment is exactly similar to adjusting the idling in CV carb. n nothing happens in the ECU if u do it without connecting to the computer.

                      This is something new for me, Is this only for RTR? I ran my P180 V1 for 35k & the fork oil was never changed, same for the my 13k run ZMA. My RTR has done around 12-13k & I dont feel the need either. Is there an issue with the type of oil used in RTR?

                        I didnt have a problem with it too, but the SVC guys suggested I should do it as there was an evident clicking sound when I had crossed some 20K KMs in it. They suggested it to be done for some 15K KMs...

                            I agree, clutch plates life depends a LOT on the users riding habits.
                            But at 33K's it should be changed i think.

                                Nope, thats what I have read and heard..... Cos its a fork oil and it takes lot of pounding, the oil looses its viscosity is what I have heard.
