  • apache Fi problem! plz help

    hi guys! i had purchased my apache Fi in sep 08. it had that pikup missing problem but could not get it rectified as the service center guys didnt know nething about it. Today when i was coming back home from college my bike stalled 3-4 times. whenever i cross speed of 60-65 or 5500-6000 rpm the bike turns off. it makes a sound like that of when u release throttle and when i tried to give more throttle , there was no response. it hapened 3-4 times. and bike had severe pikup prob b/w 2000-3000 rpm and usually at slow speeds. so this meant that i cudnt drive slow or fast i had 2 drive @ 30-45 kmph all the time.pikup lag felt like petrol was getting blocked and bike also used to give jerks sometime. i took it to the service center(CPL autos okhla, new delhi) they said there might be some prob with the fuel pump and it isnt covered under warranty. hw much will fuel pump cost if it has to be replaced?. i want to rectify this pikup prob permanently so plz suggst me some good service center in delhi for this. the bike had this pikup prob from day 1 as i learnt how to ride bike in this bike, i earlier thought i wasnt riding properly but later i read about this problem in orkut but i had an accident in december and was @ home for3 months. after that i gave bike for service and told them to rectify this. this prob disaapeared for 2 days but reappered later and after 1 month this incident happened. the bike is currently with the service center . plz tell me can i claim warranty and some good service center to rectify this problem. plz help me guys.

      This is pure B.S, it HAS to be covered by warranty unless you have caused any physical damage/modification to it which is highly unlikely.Pester them about this issue, they will and HAVE to rectify it.Some other forum members have had this problem, maybe they can shed some more light on this issue...

        The Service Guys are giving you some BS. Go to the local TVS office. Or follow this link

          I have read in some thread that the fuel pipe of the Fi is bigger than what is required and due to which it is bent and so fuel supply problems
          Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

              it seems to be a prob in ur injection....
              go to the SC guys and tell them to clean it......

              drive and thn see if the prob persists....(i dont think thr will be any after cleaning it)

              and BTW the fuel pump is covered under warrany....

                hii dude,....i also had the same problem sometime back.....i tell u go to the authorised service centre n tune the bike proiperly.....basically when u connect the bikes ecu with the computer,it tells u where the problem lies...so its pretty easy identify......ihave seen it....
                and the fuel pump is definitely covered under warrany
