    Can anyone please tell me about any website to buy premium seat cover for my 160 4v.
    I hope you can buy it from the local seat/ cover vendors. There are many designs and quality available and it would cost around between Rs. 500-1000

        Yeah, got the 160V carb abs version on 11.03.2019..
        As per the dealer, i was one of the first to get the ABS version in 160V carb.
        ABS does make a difference in case of need of sudden breaking and i have experienced the same on a few occasions.
        But to be honest, i have not been riding my bike as per its capacity till now, as my first service was awaited. Got it serviced yesterday at odo 690.
        I am sure i will get to get advantage of ABS more often now

          Got my bike serviced yesterday (first service) at odd reading 690.
          He gave me the option of using any Engine oil of my choice. But i stuck with the company recommended TVS Tru4 1.2 l (As given in bike's user manual).
          And ya, total cost of service amounted to INR 725/- (engine oil + filter).

            Yes. I booked it in 15th March and got it delivered on 20th. It's been 14 days I guess, 350 kms on odo, bike's awesome. Brakes are brisk. Even at very slow speeds of 40-50 I can actually crush the brakes fully and bike is stable. Awaiting my first service. Will stick with tvs try 4 oil itself for the first couple services. Let me see

              Hello Guys,

              I am planning to book apache 160 4v FI ABS 2019 Version to get updated spec. Its gonna cost me around 1.21 L on road.

              Can you guys advise going with FI ABS is good choice over Carb ABS?

              What will be benefited paying extra 7-8 k for FI?

              Is it a good decision to skip FZ v3 and Honda Hornet 160 R Abs in comparison with TVS apache 160 4V?

              Appreciate your feedback which will help me finalizing my decision.

                Good move atleast now by our government that ABS is mandatory for 150cc> bikes. Have a safe journey

                    Definitely it's good , I hope you can check the previous threads/pages here which we were discussing about the same topic.

                    FI is a better choice but carb isn't bad either. But FI is costlier than carb . FI parts are also not cheaper ones.. It's upto you

                          Hello,
                          A Bajaj Pulsar 150 ug4.5 owner, DIY head here.

                          Looking to pick a 160 4v fuel injected + ABS variant for daily run of 150-200 kms and two trips a month of 1500kms.

                          Any pointers of what I should be looking at ?
                          Also the abs+fi isn't available here, anyone can help me a little to get the pricing idea ?

                            I suggest you get the carb variant as most of the Service center guys itself are not experienced to deal with FI. Even in the showroom itself, they recommend getting CARB. Also, are you going on a daily run for 150 - 200 KMS?

                              Talking about this, I am accustomed to cleaning fuel injectors, what else apart from this is needed ?

                              Also, I am pretty much unhappy with carbed bikes since my daily run is from an altitude of 400m to 2100m, so can't get the state of tune perfect, no matter what.

                              Yes, my daily run is 150-200kms.
