28 and 32 is for single rider and double riders respectively [rear tyre] . front is supposed to be 25 psi .

hi to all fellow menace ownwers
yesterday at the service station i observed a strange thing
i put my bike on main stand and engaged the first gear
the clutch was still depressed fully but the rear wheel started rotating, moreover when i revved the engine the speed of rotation of rear wheel increased, is it normal.

it is totally normal,,, when the bike is engaged with clutch pulled fully still there is some slip in clutch which transmitts a little amount of power to the rear wheel and thus it rotates..

I left the Bike Today Morning for Second Free Service.Told About some Issues I faces like the overheating nature of this Engine(whatever they can do!) ,TIghten All Foundation Bolts ,Chain and Additionally Instead of Teflon ,I asked for Wax Polish.
Now ,While I was in the dealer Premises ,I noticed a Box they set up with Below Catalogues ,I have no Idea of the price of this Chain Spray TVS Sells(I actually use Motul Chain clean& Lube):

RTR 180 Making "THUD" Sound From Front Forks⇾
As per TVS Dealer Here ,TVS Has already informed TVS ASC's about the Issue with Few Batches of Apache RTR180 with Front Fork having slightly less amount of Fork Oil+ a change to a Bigger Bush(Connected to fork piston) .For ME - I have to Go Till to TVS Regional Head to Resolve this Issue.
My Advice for Future RTR 180 Owners - Take the Test Ride and If Found Front Disk Travels too Much and Makes "Thud" Noise ,It is NOT a issue of Cone Set(Steering Cone) ,But Due to the above issue I explained(Bold Part).Hope it Helps.

Got My Bike after 2nd Free Service.Felt Great When They offered a Free Waxing for My Bike.

Bike Looks great as of Now.

Puneet1 · 11-26-2009, 09:51 PM

prakash_mvpa · 11-26-2009, 10:04 PM

^I think around Rs300 they are selling.
