Guys I want to use a different oil say motul or servo rather than true 4 . Should I start using it now or should I burn the tires a little bit more and then start using servo ?? :screwy:

    Try Shell AX7 10W40 semi-synthetic. The new oil they have put is fully synthetic ones. Try the one I suggested & see if it helps.
    The real good characteristics of the oil kicks in after some 20 odd kms after which you can feel the difference.
    Draining period is 2500km. Price is 375/- rs.

      If the bike is under warranty period, avoid changing the oil to any other brand and stick to OEM recommended oil.

      Cheerz!!
      The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

          Congrads for your beast mate. I am from TN. I bought my RTR on Jan 1st. I didn't face any waiting time as you told.

          Booked my beast just 3 days before the delivery date.

          Drive safe.

            Hi People,

            Completed 32000kms on my Apache. Still getting an avg of around 37-40. No Mods, nothing, all default.
            Clocked top speed of 127kmph while riding from Hyderabad to Pune.

            I wanted to some opinion, I had met with an accident and the chasis was bent. I tried everything but still get a little load on my left side.
            Also my friend didnt use the bike properly after the accident, and there were scratches inside the valve and on the block piston.

            My bike is not going above 103kmph now. The avg is fine, she goes 0-60 in about 3.5 to 4 secs, everything seems to be fine just there is no top speed.

            Please suggest what should I do. Should I go for some mods like mentioned in previous threads, if yes then which one.

            Regds,
            Amey

                  I dont understand why the SVC guys used fully synthetic oil in a brand new bike, dont they know that a new engine needs mineral oil!! IMO for the first 2000kms stick to TVS True4 mineral oil as it performs better and after that go for Shell advance AX7 or castrol power1 or Elf moto4 ..they all suits best in apache. Im using AX7 and it compartively reduces the vibes alot and if you are looking for throttle response go for Elf moto4 its makkhannn...
                  Since the SVC used fully synthetic oil your bike is behaving abnormally and heats up rapidly so take care of it buddy..
                  Cheers!!

                    Depends city to city. In Gurgaon they say waitung period of 25 days for ABS version, for nonABS it is available same day also.

                        You can rev your engine more now, but don't redline it, make sure you get the bike serviced before you ride hard. Have a fun time and drive safe
