        Finally the beast is mine....😀😀😀

        Got matte grey color bike today just to escape from scratches in glossy white...😉

        Bike is awesome man no doubt.
        Exhaust note is superb.
        Notice two bad things in bike.
        1. Silencer welding is worst which can ever be done in such an awesome bike.
        2.Engine is heating too much. You can feel the heat properly on your legs. Don't know whether it heats that much only or bcz of high traffic. Will have to see more to conclude anything.

        Sry guys haven't post any pics as after delivery I had to reach office to do some unfinished work and was on hurry.
        Will post pics soon...😊

              I agree with you on silencer welding ... My bike is just 1 months old now and silencer looks burnt and rusted. Regarding engine heating, yes it's there, but it isn't too hot.

                Isn't that too less in front tire?
                Usually its 28(front) and 32(rear). Right?? 😬

                  But 25, 28&32 is recommended by TVS.

                    I was asking for tire pressure which I can keep always for solo as well as for pillion at the same time. I need not to change pressure based on requirement, I can be ready for both at any time.

                      28 psi is standard for front tyre ? In my manual, it says 25 psi ...

                        25 for front and 28&32 for rear are recommended. That was what I meant.

                          Drove my beast for about 40kms today..😀😀

                          Things I noticed during my ride.
                          Bike started crying for gear change at around 10kmph for 2nd gear, 20kmph for 3rd gear and 30kmph for 4th gear.
                          Noticed some vibration on foot peg and lower area of engine.
                          Does this is common in run in period?

                          Second thing, what actually matter in run in period, is it RPM or kmph?
                          Bcz i was able to cross 50kmph below 4k rpm only on 5th gear.

                          One more weird thing I noticed, I was trying to start bike in neutral and it gave me jerk as if it in first gear. Don't know what was that but noticed two time continuously after that gone.

                            Ride upto 60kmph below 5k rpm during the break in period. No vibs felt. Yes gearing is about the same as you mentioned. Need to switch to gear2 post 10kmph and gear 3 post 28kmph. Bike stopping in gear is false neutral and a common problem not sure will get resolved or not. Other that you will notice chain noise on gear 2. Not so smooth shift from gear1 to neutral to gear2 and vica versa. Gear shifts are pretty smooth gear 3 onwards. Lastly engine heat during high traffic which is normal. The biggest issue is cold start problem with this bike atleast for me. Once the bike is warm it is one push start. Hope this helps.

                              The last one problem can be of gear shifter problem. I had it but was rectified in my 2nd servicing. Its like when I use to shift from 2nd to 1st or vice versa bike use to accelerate for about 5secs and then use to come back to neutral automatically and I also faced the false neutral problem. Now its gone. You can check it for few more days if it aggravates then u can rectify it in your 1st service or before that if not able to wait.

                                Following this thread for a while. I really like the Apache 200 and want to buy one buy availability of abs+fi version is an issue. Don't know how long I have to wait for the same.
