    Re: Apache RTR 180 - ABS versions...

    Iridium plugs on a stock bike wont give you any noticeable bump in performance, I would suggest you stick with stock.
    And the price is also not justified.
    Motorcycling Experience:
    2000 ~ 2017 Y2K Kinetic Zoom (Disposed at 15k)
    2011 ~ 2015 Hero Honda Karizma R (Sold at 56.5k)
    2013 ~ 2014 Bajaj Discover 100 4G (Sold at 16.5k)
    2015 ~ 2017 TVS Wego (Totaled at 18k)
    2015 - Bajaj Pulsar 220F (Currently 31k) < Garage Queen!
    2017 - Bajaj CT100B (Currently 21k) < 'Golden Quadrilateral' Runner!

    The Ride was Good, but Life is short, spend it Wisely!

        Iridium+Spitfire+FreeFlow => Will give you a very minor bump in performance but at the cost of money and reliability. The choice is yours, In my ZMA I ran on Iridiums and free flow filter and 140mains. The bike was more rev friendly and made power even post redline, but thats cause ZMA had alot of torque and by stock makes power only till 7~8k RPM.
        In the case of RTR the bike already has good top end performance. So I would suggest that you let it be.

        And regarding the SP you've mentioned, I couldnt find it on google. As long as the heat range is same, It would workout.

            I joined xBHP and realized that there is no ownership thread for the beast. Hence, I am creating this thread and calling all the owners of TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS to share their experiences.

            My experience so far has been great, although I still have not completed the running in period.

            My first ride on the bike was till Lonavala this past Sunday (November 25, 2012) and I only have one thought, if the bike is so much fun to ride within the running in period limit, what will it unleash when I ride it to it's full power

            Here are two photos of me and the bike, and the bike royally parked at Lion's point Lonavala.

            My bike will go for the first servicing this week, and then I plan to take the beast for a long ride. I will post the pictures and share my experiences about that later.
            love the bike and your riding jacket! your helmet too! planning to get this as my first bike. worth it for becoming a better rider?
