    had my first crash or rather fall yesterday on the RTR. A blind gladiator guy rammed into me from behind while i was waiting for the traffic ahead of me to clear. My bike fell slowly, tried to save it from falling but had to let it fall to save myself being hurt. Was soo pissed off at the idiotic fellow, i would probably have hit him had my bike been damaged. heck, a girl before him on a activa stopped in time and this hero could'nt!

    lifted the bike, no scratches execpt for few dots on the crash gaurd, silencer pate and the barend weight. they are not much visible! I just asked that bugger to leave before i lose my cool...!


    Good to hear nothing happened to the bike and you.

    BTW my bike was running 8 PS front and some 13-15ps rear, corrected the pressure yesterday.

        That activa girl was beautiful? If yes, dont blame that poor glatiatorite. He was concentrating on her rather than you. :-P

        Good to here you are scratchless.

            TVS seems to have launched SS oil for RTR's. Cost between 220-260rs. Comes in a red can. Funniest part is.....its a 10W30 oil...

            Will check it out tomorrow(most probably)
            7th service done yesterday and yes this time they pour in SS oil of 10W30 rating costs Rs 235 instead of Rs205 for earlier one.
            also replaced bikes battery with new MF Amaron 48mnths guarantee, of 1300bucks.
            after this new battery bike stalling problem vanished .

            help-

            guys also there is a noise coming out from magneto cover i guess it is of one way clutch vibrating only at 4k+ rpm, will it cause any problem in the future regarding crank assembly etc.?

            • Just came back from official tour to Bikaner. RTR was parked below building in vikhroli. Bike was full of dust. Everything is intact except a dumb and idiot crow tested sharpness of his beak on the seat.

                • Today on my commute from Neral to vikhroli, it was raining, so, as usual, i had my headlamp on. On eastern expressway, near bhandup, 2 cops in Gypsy stopped me (i thought its because of white LEDs i am runing as position lamps.). Our communication(in marathi-translated here) was as follows:

                  Cops: Your headlight is ON
                  Me: Yes. I know. I have kept it ON.
                  Cops: Why?
                  Me: Its raining so for my better spotability to other drivers.
                  Cops: Its not necessary. You are distracting other drivers. Turn OFF the headlamp.
                  And i was like.

                      We(as a group of bikers) were heading towards Chandipur(home to DRDO's missile test-range) with our headlights ON. We were stopped by a police patrol jeep just couple of kms before Chandipur. When asked for the reason, they said using headlights during daytime is prohibited in that area.

                      That policeman even said that we might attract suspicion from policemen as potential threats(Naxalites, Terrorists!!)

                        Even in Delhi, they (Cops) find it irritating and assume that the person with HeadLight ON in daytime is a hooligan...

                            This happened with me too, was driving on a ring road, sorta highway in indore, with my lights on, the police guy signal'd me with his hands, i flashed my high beam twice to him, dropped the gear and was off....

                            • Spark Plug

                              i never thought that a simple spark plug can make a noticeable diffrance in performance and mileage . I was using 15k + old spark plug mileage was dropping day by day(40<37<35<32kmpl) and even that RTR Punch was missing....in my Efi . Did everything but nothing worked finally ..MERE DIMAG KI BATTI JALI and i replaced my old plug with new one and @ ignition only i could feel she was back on track... hehehe. Even Mileage was back to normal (42-48kmpl)
                              . Now onwards i'll make sure that i change Spark plug @ every 6-8k kms.

                              Also i wana know that should i change my Injector also as of now bike is 40k old and in Leh ride she suffered a lot thanks to dirty Petrol (1mech in Leh city told us that most Petrol Pump wala mix rokel even in Premium petrol)and dirty Aif Filter . And Yea i would like to Thanks NOX for all tech support he give me even @ mid night he's happy to explain me working of Chain Sporket and why we need 2-3cm's slack ...hehehe
                              Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                                Why do you want to change your injector? Are you getting any symptoms from the bike that indicate a clogged injector?
