Hi guys,

I took my RTR for a weekend trip last week.
It was really good in hills.
And now to my query

When i started,i filled in 4 liters of petrol(the fuel cock was in main i.e. long side of the knob was facing down).There was 3 points in the fuel indicator..after some kms the orange fuel light lit up.
Now i didn't turn the fuel cock knob up..it was still down..after the light lit up i rode some 75~80 kms and suddenly the engine strutured to a stop.
i could not start it again even after turning the fuel knob up.but there was some fuel left in the tank..why is this??

what does the orange light suggest??
when should i turn the fuel cock knob up??
when is the bike using the reserve petrol??

My bike has done 540 kms.I have taken it today from the first service today only.
When i asked the TVS service center guys..they didn't know and yapped something.

Donot know about Apache, but, In Pulsar that 'Orange(red) light' represents less than 4ltrs of petrol in tank.

@harish619:

Never trust the fuel bar indicator of the RTR, and as your bike is carbed, you have a safety of reserve, so no worries.

How to know when it is in reserve??
it may seem dumb but please explain it from a layman point of view

If i know it is in reserve then how much fuel is still in tank??

every bike has more than two liters of fuel in reserve, enough to take you to the next petrol station.

Anyways,TVS guys are ready to change the whole silencer assembly of my RTR as because of rust.I've asked them if they can get me the free-flow from THE PRO-KIT because it's all under warranty!

Forget the desire of yours in bolds, instead ask them for FI's silencer as it comes without the CAT, it may sound more good, but you'll be polluting the MOTHER NATURE my friend.
