    A180 ABS will not be available in Chennai for the next month or two it seems. Dealer said that there are some policy issues and they have take back the bike which was even kept for display and added that it will take anywhere from a month to two..

    May I know if ABS is available in other parts of the country?

      I have seen the video of RTR being tested with and without ABS on its test track. Its merely a safety measure and a step ahead of Disc Braking ! Its worth it !

      The track was straight so couldnot see their point of view on the corners but personally I feel it does help when we 'wrongly' enter fast in a corner and brake !
      What/which ABS are you talking about..?

        I think he means that fraud ABS pump which came for 1000 bucks some months earlier, which just decreased front braking power mechanically, and nothing else.

        Don't go for it, chiragwarm. In fact, that "ABS" is much more dangerous than no ABS...

          Oil Burning

          Hey guys, my rtr 180 abs is 13k kms old and recently i have noticed that the oil dipstick is showing only 3/4th of the total level. It has done 1000kms since the oil change(motul 300v 15w 50). Can anyone please let me know what could be the problem??..........i have checked it when the engine is hot.

          I usually rip my bike hard ...mostly shift gears above 6k rpm. Occasionally even touched 10k rpm.

            post it in rtr ownership section.the oil level seems right to me.
            and the question remains why do i race?
            every finishing line is the begining of a new race.
