Hi,
I recently bought Black RTR...Bike is nice. The only problem i m facing is that there is huge vibrations in bike after i cross 60Kmph. I m done with 1000km running and first free service is done.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Welcome to group of A** ticklers ..

Lubricate the chain as much as possible. get the tension adjusted from a better mechanic.

I have ridden both the Apache 150 and the Apache RTR 160. Engine Vibrations are characteristic to the Apache Engine.. starts from around 55-60. But the engine feels peppy in spite of the vibrations.

Ride another Apache RTR 160 and compare if the vibrations on your bike is more than necessary.

OT: I actually loved the Apache 150's vibes, the solid grunt that engine has....AWESOME. Till date, it the most fun to ride bike (barring 2-st's) in the city for me atleast!

^^+1...A150 is one heck of a machine which has that "something" which even the RTR lacks and just forget about other bikes!!

@tauruspuneet

Just ask the svc guys to check/tighten the rubber inserts on the engine and other mountings(footpegs,tank etc.)That could help solve the problem to some extent but you would be lucky if gets totally eliminated.Also engine oil level and quality of fuel do play a role in vibrations but as your bike is new then the 1st step would be a probable solution!!

vibrations are the charateristic of RTR"s engine....................

the sound that comes with it,and then tacho goin skywards are the trics it's engine plays...........
you'll get them the most at around 5000-6500RPM........

not to worry and ignore em,as post that rpm range you'll be gettin the pull which will make you smile till the magic 12000 RPM.......

MAn it's the most "puttin the smile on the face" engine i came across...............
