Nothing to worry buddy, . The noise you've mentioned is general. It comes from the silencer after the engine is switched off, the heat dissipates. So you hear that tik tik sound.

And regarding the brake screeching noise, yes it's due to rubbing of the disc plates with brake pads. However after 2000-3000 kms the brake noise would vanish or reduce.

He hears the sound when the bike is in idling condition.

Hi Team,

I recently purchased the Apache RTR 160 4V. I am facing the sound problem from the engine head like after I run the bike around 10 to 20 km there is a tik tik sound that is coming from the engine head. It is not audible when I am riding the motorcycle but when the bike stops and engine is in idle state, there is sound coming from the engine head like tik tik. If the engine is cooled down there is no sound from the engine head even if I throttle the bike, all good, no sound. I did my first service after 1 month at 110 km odo and complete the second service around 660 km odo after 4 months.
I less use the bike that's why the month are more than km.

And the second issue is the rear disc break sound problem when I apply the break it makes some sound. I already changed the disc pad and the disc rotor (disc plate) still the issue persists.

Total odo till now 660 KM only.

Any solution guys for these two problems please help?

Thanks and regards
Danish

The tik tik sound is of the tappets. They are usually kept a bit loose in a new engine (had the same issue in my Apache). Its nothing to worry, ask them to adjust the tappets in next service. The sound increases as the oil becomes less viscous after heating up.

I take it to the service center the service guy told that this not the tappet sound he change the complete engine head block kit and piston and crank shaft. now the sound is fixed. but there is a little bit of vibration comes from the engine at higher RPM that it not come before is it normal. and the rear disc sound the service guys told that company provided some modified break pad for those bikes which have break sound problem. I ordered but that pads still not available is it true or they are fooling me? just for get rid of me or is some break pad is available like that?

Oh gosh, so now you have to do the run in again for the next 1000 kms since it is practically a new engine. Don't worry about the vibes, they should go away by next service

So i need to drive the bike slow for 1000 km? can you plz tell me how much speed should i maintain till next 1000 km? and 1 more problem is in my bike the service center guys try to update the software of the ABS in the ECU because when i apply the break it create sound from the front reservoir. but during the update the software show some error now the ECU of my bike is not responding and the ABS light continuous glow and the speedometer and the odo is not working as well. those guys escalate this issue with TVS he ask me to wait for at least 2 week for the resolution they told me that i can use the bike there is no issue only the abs and speedometer and odo will not work but guys i am worried is it fine to drive the bike with all that issues or it will create another problem.

and one more this guys there is a engineer team that comes from TVS to fix the ECU problem but he is not able to do so. In this case what is the resolution is they provide?

Any solution guys regarding all there issues PLZ Help.
