    In my view, difference between the watts will only brighten the beam than the reach on the roads. No matter what, I m satisfied with the stock product and it's sufficient for city ride in my opinion. Some of them got fog rides for long rides so if that's the case if you don't want additional attachments may be going for higher watt or led headlight may b suggestible but not advisable.
    Yaa I agree with you !

      With 10.15:1 the RTR is very smooth.
      Why the 200rtr has much lower compression rate !??

        Guys, i had an experience with my rear disc which was screaming when brakes applied smoothly or hard initially it was when hard braking but after few days it became more even with smooth press. It was been after my 1st service and when i put it up to the mechanic who handled my bike in service said that it was cos of mud accumulation in the disc area which is common in monsoons. He washed it out and put out to me but again i started facing the same issue after a while riding on clearer roads and this time i took it seriously cos it was effecting my disc performance and also my wheel free to run on roads. So after shunting on the mechanic and other superiors the mechanic came u to the conclusion that it was due to some part of the bike which i dint get to know properly which has been common to most of all Apache series machines so Apache is providing with some samples to check the bikes with this issues to be handled with this new installment. As it was a sample most of the service centers don't have ample of them to fix the thing to the machines immediately. But i dint leave the service center until i got confirmation from the service mechanic supervisor that they will get the part so i have been following for that part every single day may on on phone or meeting them physically and bashed them to get it right.

        After one long week of rigorous follow ups and shunts i got the part this Monday and got it fit to the wheel and now i can say that now the bike is more smoother than before and the squeaking sounds have gone.

        This was my experience but i see most of the bikes in the service center already have this issue and the service centers have no clue that when they would get the part so guys this is cautionary thing for you all bikers as well to be first to notice and get it addresses immediately before the disc gets damaged totally or the machine.
        Is the rear disc noice stopped now ?

          Yes, they have replaced some parts of the rear break and I missed it cos my frnd was der when the part got replaced so. Now no issues with rear disc squeaking.

            To boost it's smoothness. Since large single cylinder engines are prone to vibration.

                  Maybe brake shoes had been replaced under warranty and in some cases the mud,dust accumulated on the disc/calliber/brake shoes will result in disc noises too.

                    I dont know exactly ,its brake caliper or brake shoe. I tired asking in the second service but the spare parts sales person is not able to give the name of the part.

                    haha i tried the beast but the climate here havent given me a suitable day to go for a long drive as the roads all dammed with the rains and most of the states are in floods too. Speed, i tapped 100 on before 1st service and i noticed the rear brake squeaking issue and than after second service 1 fine day i revved upto 122 km, one fine morning in old mumbai highway.

                        Haha yeah, it was hard to reach 122 as well as its not getting when we do it when machine running on constant speed and you try to attain high speed. I was able to get it only when i did a drag with 200 rtr. Regular speeds attained on highways is maximum 112 - 114 but drag race with optimal shifts was not able to get 120 and around. Dis is my experience but braking at dat spped with remora is not at all suitable it was i learned so braking is what i felt lacking in the higher speeds or may be the design of the brakes are in the way, i dont knw yet. Speeding in regular traffic is cool and also cutting in jams is the fun part i like on dis bike and dats where i get smile and feel proud about with this beast.

                          Yeah [MENTION=99401]RebellionRiderRTR[/MENTION] absolutely cutting through traffic is easy ,thanks for the single piece handlebar I hope it's better than Split -on bars !!! .

                          Then speaking about top speed this beast can easily touch 100's in less than 14secs~ , and on a drag race it can be pushed beyond 125 [but not advisable].

                              Can any owners post a picture of their RTR 160 4V. Just some two days back I saw this bike and immediately liked it's styling.
