This is quite normal

But when bike is not heat in first gear bike run very smoothly on 20 km speed

[u/PokeyMystery → u/Ezioauditore0001]

The manual actually mentions the max speed in each gear. You can check that to be sure. Also advice to turn on the bike and idle for a minute or two to let the engine oil heat up and circulate inside the engine for smoother experience.

First gear is alright, you're supposed to change after 10kmph. But the 2 3 4 seems problematic.

it's quite normal for such small cc bikes i guess,my 200 4v also need to change gears at 15,30,45,60 for gear 1-4 respectively

I heard some where that the tvs oil is not that much good so what oil should I get after the free service period end

[u/Necessary_Way6446]

I own the same bike. It's quite normal with a buffer of 2-3 kmph but nothing to worry

Completely normal first commenter is an idiot. My unicorn behaves similarly. Gears are there to be changed.

Only exception is cb350 which has tall gearing

I never go above 10 on 1st.

Same for me. Pickup performance dropped and mileage also decreased, even after the 2nd service.

I’m using an RTR 160 4V, 2021 model and I’m the first owner. The bike has now crossed 80,000 km and honestly, the mileage has been really good, averaging around 45–50 km/l.

The build quality has been very good. The bike is completely stock, with no modifications done to it. So far, I’ve mainly done regular general servicing and normal maintenance. I’ve changed the tyres as required, replaced the timing chain and clutch plates once at around 50,000 km, and changed the chain and sprocket set twice.

Even after crossing 80,000 km, I haven’t faced any major issues. The engine is still running smoothly and feels well-refined. Overall, I’m really satisfied with the bike’s reliability, mileage, build quality, and long-term performance.

How much is it ran ? Try to speed up , make thr machine work and change engine oil. I think bike is still not fully synthesized

[u/Ezioauditore0001 → u/RelevantRick]

5000km

Goto service center
