  • weird electric starter problem in apache rtr 160. Help me .

    my bike is 1 year old with 5000 kms on odo giving starting problem,
    The problem started a month ago, i usually dont leave bike in neutral since its difficult to find neutral in apache, so when i start i use clutch and press starter button.
    After service and oil change i was easily getting neutral. So after switching to neutral i dint use clutch and pressed the starter,
    All i noticed is starter dint work and neutral lamp is going dim when i press starter switch.
    Then i depressed clutch and pressed starter switch i started, but after starting neutral is dimm(bike is still in neutral)
    A week ago when i depressed clutch and pressed starter, the neutral lamp goes dimm, but doesnot start at all so i kick started, after driving 1 km i stoped and pressed the starter it works. And the same is happening since one week. I am almost using kicker all time.
    I checked battery voltage it is 12v.
    What will be the problem.

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      Clearly indicates that the battery is weak, get it charged. A healthy battery would have EMF greater than 13V.

      Its the fusion of a two wheeled machine & a human being which creates a true biker.
