  • my bike came home today. i didnt bring it and now it is raining so cant do a testdrive to know if work has been done.

    1. the front visor was replaced as they thought the sound of sonic boom was coming from it.
    2. back disk pads again changed as they were worn out according to them.
    3. they tuned fi system(they said). for better mileage and performance. asked them to make it to come to default setting.
    4. both brakes were bleeded.
    5. they said they will adjust co and afr. also chain sprocket and clutch was checked due to low performance.
    6. cleaned fi system and fuel filter. also tappet was adjusted.

    total cost came to 1500rs

      This is my 5th one! Stock one was faulty. Had to replace it but no stock. Had to use victor's cam chain twice before RTR one's arrived. Then SVC folks changed it again as a modified one came. Now this has been in the bike for long! Am replacing it after abt 30k Kms.

      Usually, the stock one should last for atleast 50-60k kms!

        What are the components in camchain kit?
        AFAIK,
        1. Camchain
        2. Tensioner
        I'm asking since my Fiero F2 needs replacement of the camchain-it is now 55K kms.&the camchain has been very noisy since the last 10K kms. Tensioner has been adjusted many times&has finally gone beyond that now.
        Anything else I need to replace?
        Btw, I'm still waiting for you to guide me to a SVC where they have a CO machine to tune my carb!
        I need valve clearances checked&also overall tuning-please call me when you are free.

                    No worries for the 1st 1 year after purchase, but there after emission test has to be done at intervals of 6 months...

                    • RTR logo

                      Hi Friends,

                      today someone stole the rtr logo of my bike, the sticker between the handle bars.

                      Is it possible to get a new one in the accessories shop???

                      The bike looks like it has lost a part of its beauty

                        You will have to replace the whole silver colored part (with the logo in the center).Not very costly though
                        I changed mine when the silver part got scratched by the constant contact with my keys.

                          Yes,you can get it a TVS service centre/spare part shop.Heard that it cost around 35 bucks!

                          D.I.Y-RTR180 brake fluid replacing/brake bleeding
                          D.I.Y-RTR180 brake pad replacing/cleaning

                          A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                              • That Sticker costs 42 Rs and I have purchased two of them to be on a safer side, as it looks empty without that Checkered Racing Flag Logo !
                                You can get it at TVS SC !!!
