I bought the 160 hyper edge on december 14th.I rode the bike slow upto 370 kms.But started going fast thereafter upto 790 kms.But then again restrained my wrist upto 1100 kms.Then Had a couple of drag races and won after 1150.Odometer now stands at 1200.Bike hasnt shown any problem.feels awesome.Used to have gear slippages.But Not seen recently.But HAVE I screwed my bike?.

I don't think you've screwed your bike. What engine oil are you using? TVS stuff?

Yes.I used the TVS synthetic oil.and btw am planning to install a k & n air filter.Is it advisable to install one?Will engine life be reduced?Will mileage greatly decrease?And how much will it cost here in coimbatore,tamil nadu

Hello guys,

My 4 month old RTR160 (1450 km, 2 free services done, using Shell AX5 engine oil) is troubling me:

1) Engine misfiring: I had this issue right from day 1 but it was fixed during 1st servicing. The issue resurfaced after 2nd servicing and it still persists. I told the SVC guys to fix it yet again. They kept my bike for a day and returned it to me saying they've cleaned the spark plug.

Bike makes "phat-phat-phat" sound at high RPM (especially when rolling down a slope). SVC guys have given up and have advised me to use better quality petrol and additives. I'm using normal HP petrol. Should I switch to "Speed" petrol. Will doing so fix this issue of engine misfiring?

2) Front disc brake makes loud screeching noise when I apply the brake. This issue persists since 2nd servicing. It was non-existent until then. What should be done to fix this? SVC guys didn't do anything.

3) Idling RPM varies according to surrounding temperature and engine temperature. After riding my bike continuously for 15 mins, idling RPM shoots up to almost 2.5k RPM. How to fix this? SVC guys have given up. They're unable to fix it. Do all RTRs have this issue?

4) There are some noticeable scratches on my bike including a couple of them on the headlight. How to remove such scratches?

RTR owners and others please help me out...

You should be using mineral oil and not synthetic oil for the first 5k km.

Myself: +1 For That.

No idea about K&N stuff. Not gonna install it anytime soon!

--
Myself: AFAIK K&N stuff will ruin ur engine in long run
And again when u change the air filter u will hve t reset the carb settings i guess. So do it only if its required. by the way if you are using your bike mainly for drag race and not touring then u can go for it...It will give you good performance..

Myself: Its AFR tuning issue or some dirts in spark plug

Myself: As fellow rtr replied if the phat phat sound comes when you are idling, I mean when not applying accelerator then its kind of normal rtr behaviour..enjoy the music

2) Front disc brake makes loud screeching noise when I apply the brake. This issue persists since 2nd servicing. It was non-existent until then. What should be done to fix this? SVC guys didn't do anything.

Myself: I have seen this issue in Honda bikes which fades out as disk gets heated up. Also check if any dirt is accumulated. That too can cause this issue. Try to clean by flushing water there in force and check if its still there.

3) Idling RPM varies according to surrounding temperature and engine temperature. After riding my bike continuously for 15 mins, idling RPM shoots up to almost 2.5k RPM. How to fix this? SVC guys have given up. They're unable to fix it. Do all RTRs have this issue?

Myself: Your bikes AFR tuning is gone crap. Ask the SVC guys to sort it out. Also before giving to them make sure your engiine is heated enough, say around after 5-10km riding only you give as the tuning should not be set in cold conditions as readings do differ.

4) There are some noticeable scratches on my bike including a couple of them on the headlight. How to remove such scratches?

Myself: Forget about them if doesnt cause any issue during night vision.

RTR owners and others please help me out...

Hello RTR people,

I need to upgrade tyres on my 160 (rear and front).
I've tried looking thorough this thread but opinions are varying.

What should I go for -
I'm looking for better grip in gravel and wet conditions.
Also straightforward installation.

Anyone with a rock solid suggestion based on the options tried in the past?

Thanks,
Mr.Bee
