  • Help Required:Apache E Surge 150

    Hi Guys,
    I have been using my apache for last 1 month have ride about 1000km. Never crossed more than 70km(eventhough it is 5yrs old). The problem i have started facing lately is vibration on footrest when bike crossess 4000rpm or either when i cross 60km vibration of bike does not gives feeling to ride it more than limited speed. Bike has never fallen from hand, service was done recently and bike was upto the mark. As well as self start wont work while bike is in gear, self start works only when it is neutral.
    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thanks

      I cannot help you with the vibration problem, but the starting problem is what I also had. The problem might be in the starter switch in the starter motor. That is what happened to my brother's Apache RTR. Do not remeber the cost of the starter switch, but it was not very expensive, although not readily available.

        Today while going to office my bike stopped on 3rd gear as if the petrol is exhausted. It neither started with self start or neither with kick start.I took it to local mechanic and happened to find out that my spark plug has completely burnt and cannot be used further.As i was on my office and in a rush i was unable to purchase new spark plug and mechanic installed spare park plug that he was having(i was not having enough time to check the brand etc) and it costed me 50Rs.
        Now what i am planning to do is to install NGK IRIDUM spark plug. PLease let me know guys if this would be correct decision.
