      Slight flickering at idle RPMs is normal but it must not flicker as much as a bike with AC electricals. But if it flickers too much, it is not normal.

      The bike reaches its peak power at 8k RPM. For the best throttle response, stay within the 6-7k RPM range. But milage will take a hit though.

            If you need Lot of fun !!? Just you can play with sprockets ....(changing the front & rear sprockets )



            *A bigger rear sprocket/ smaller front sprocket will give you an increase in acceleration but decrease your top speed.

            *A smaller rear sprocket/bigger front sprocket will reduce you acceleration but increase the top speed.

            Generally the rear sprockets will be changed in most cases just you can do that.(reduce 3 or 4 tooths from the current sprocket)

            IF YOU NEED MORE FUN STILL !!??
            CAUTION: (This will void your engine warranty)

            *ECU FLASH/ (Change the ECU to pwertronics or whatever it be)

            *K&N air filter + new aftermarket free flow exhaust .

            (If ECU IS REMAPPED / CHANGED ,the air filter and exhaust also need to be changed )

            This process will cost you at least 10k
            Bucks!!!

            Definitely noticeable change in power, acceleration, speeds will be felt !!!

              You can fit the 130/70 tyres on 3.5" rims but it is not recommended
              I think ayrus meant 2.5" in the last sentence.

                    Re: TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Ownership Experience

                    Hi I 've booked the bike (RR) and reserved it on my name today.

                    Expected delivery : 18,19 th of October.

                    (I itself inspected (PDI) and picked a good one , engine run also made ! )

                    I hope the ASC are not much keen on services so what should I do ?

                    For the warranty and insurance sake I must do a 3 services with them I hope and then shall I shift to a reliable local mechanic ?

                    I am not a self mechanic like you guys and knew only little DIY ASAP.

                    clarify me :

                    *How to maintain a new bike?

                    *How to have a good engine life ?

                    Is it safe to change the engine oils at 3k kms ? (After 3 services)
                    What else should be done?

                    Thanks in advance ...

                      About this one, I wouldn't suggest waiting that late to change oils. 2300 to 2500kms is always the sweetest time frame for changing oils. The oil gets used up even quicker depending upon riding conditions (like city where shifting is much frequent).

                          Depends on riding style as well. Regular city commutes and frequent shifts will use up the oil more quickly. While 3k is a figurative value, from experience I've found that the oil is used up even sooner an have often found 2.5k a safe limit for changing. Some people even change earlier if they get the chance (as early as 2.2k to to 2.3k). There are synthetic variants which go for longer but I'm more of a mineral oil user.

                            Guys, regarding some of the regular maintenance questions like when to change oil and when to clean & lubricate chain - There are general guidelines we can follow, but make sure we periodically inspect and take action if necessary. This periodic inspection takes out the guess work and also avoid unnecessary wastage.

                            Recommended oil change interval is ~ 3000 kms for mineral oil and ~5000 for fully synthetic. But inspect oil level and quality every 1000 kms and take action if needed. Owners manual describes the inspection procedure and it takes less than 5 mins to do it ourselves.

                            Recommended chain cleaning and lubrication every 500 Kms. But visually inspect chain for dirt/dryness and slack once a week and take action if needed.
