My ODO shows 9300KMs...

even i was facing same low RPM missing/lag problem so i called TVS engg and he cleaned Throttle Body and after that i've never faced any problems so just give it a try

Hey guys how do you all clean the chain of the bike?

Using Motul Chain Clean! Spray it, leave for 5 min, wipe the chain and lube it. If it isn't too dirty you can just wipe it and lube it.

As RAGS suggested the motul chain spray is the best option, but if you want "sasta" option then clean it with diesel, leave it for 5-10 mins then wipe the whole chain off, and then dont apply any lube whatsoever.

I'm running on completely "dry" chain from the past 2000KMS.

I'm only experiencing it in summers, i never faced it after the SC guy replaced the injector with the silver one.
But one thing the old injector had little more kick than the new silver one.

Rough engine note"

Off late i'am experiencing the engine note becoming rough post 7000 RPM, i'am talking about the noice/sound of the engine, not the exhaust note.

This sound is becoming more prominant along with the ringing noice of the tappets, my mech adjusted the tappet of another FI, slightly on the higher side to reduce the noice but it robbed the performance and "freeness" of the revs, so yesterday when i took my bike to get the noice checked he again refuced to adjust it.

The tappets were ringing like this from very long time but the engine note has suddenly become quite more rough, the RTR has a rough engine and compared to the other bikes (read HONDA, YAMAHA) my engine started to sound rough after the running in period, but this time the intensity of the roughness is more.

So, What will you be doing now??

i too have been experiencing 'more' noise after 6500rpm. Not sure, but i feel its coming from the vibrating body parts. and since its summer, my misfire has increased heavily in my FI.

Engine oil might have lost the viscosity or level should have reduced. Do check the same. After shifting to Motul ,engine became much smoother and reduced the roughness in my FI.

Yes, that might be the reason or a clogged air-filter.

Nothing wrong with anything, the RTR has a rough engine.Period
it can't be smoothened with oil or anything, the high RPM roughness will be there.
Compare this bike to any other line up as HONDA or YAMAHA and you can feel the diffrence that can be termed as RAW or BONEY,after the 6500-7000 RPM the RTR is best reserved for those who like their meat little raw, it vibrates, it makes grunty noices, it sounds super rough and still you enjoy every piece of it.


For the record, the oil which i'am using is 900kms old (PETRONAS) and it's good as new,i'am experiencing this after the running in itself.
And a clogged airfilter never results in roughness, it results in blunted acceleration and dead throttle response.
I've tried three more FI's and two 180's (though they were fairly new so the intensity of the roughness was low) and they felt the same, the roughness is there.
Another sigature RTR characteristic may be.

This is really a case of either Poor QC or cost cutting, The Clock on ZMA never showed any deviation from the set time.

Bloody ****ing Meters

The digital meters are made by a company named 'Pricol'. This company provides digital meters for almost all bikes manufactured in India.
The digital clock uses a crystal oscillator which has a precise frequency.
I don't think using a cheaper crystal capacitor gives significant cost reduction.
But surely, they would only had done Early-life Test (2~3 days, or max to one week continuous) rather than Long-Life Test (atleast 1 month continuous).
After a product is approved, no one bothers to do or validate any of the tests.
Actually, the original meter came fitted in my RTRFi was much more accurate. The later meters (having lighter blue backlight) are more error prone.
Unfortunately, the original meter got severely damaged in an accident.

As of now, the current meter is behaving radically for last 4~5 days.
The tachometer needle is shifting negative day by day (behind zero).
Yesterday, my bike was idling on 50rpm and today it was idling at -100rpm (behind zero). Looks rather funny when I see my bike doing 63Km/H at 3K rpm .

The needle takes a full sweep (in degrees) while booting i.e. if its showing -ve 1000rpm, it sweeps to 11k rpm. The total 12K rpm sweep remains same.
Either current is bypassing some passive component or needle coil assembly has got loose inside the meter.

If your bike is under warranty period, then get it replaced!!

@All..

Need some help guys, I'm planning to take out the rear suspension of my RTR and planning to fix a mono suspension.. Is it worth if i change it. Where can i get this done? And planning to take out my front dome put up a round shape headlights with HID.

Pls suggest me ASAP. Thanks. I stay in Hyderabad.
