Till now i have done just regular servicing with oil change and the Oil filter change on the every servicing. I have also changed the Air Filter around 15000 kms.
I am taking my bike to SVC, should i have to tell them for anything specific.

Hi Hemnath,
If the engine is consuming engine oil then there might be some problems with the oil seeping into the combustion chamber resulting in oil lose.
To get this issue rectified please make sure you mention the prob to the respective SVC mechs.
Try to see how much of lose is there in terms of engine oil.

Hi
If the oil level is fine then you may try shifting to a better grade engine oil probably semi synthetic or full synthetic.
Your bike has seemed to run quite good no. Of kms so; if possible also get the carb cleaned, valves checked, tappet adjusted, clutch checked if not done already.

If the issue is minor and no significant damage has accrued then possibly doing the above should solve the problem you are facing.

I'm not sure but it will be between 9 to 9.5k.
A piece of advice:
Do upjet and retune the carb once you get the ffe.

What is the cost of Bosch spark plug for rtr? Is it better to go for NGK Iridium? Some say it doesn't do any good and the bosch is better

Some Say, the NGK Ir is better.. All we know is, you will need a spitfire cable with the NGK.
Bosch R6 cost some Rs160. Where as NGK is Rs500+.

There's a lot of material on xbhp about race concepts modifications. Go through them and you won't need an answer to your question.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Hello,

I am facing a small issue, when i reach above 3k rpms there is some strange noise coming from the right side of the handle kind of metal striking when the bike vibrates along with some plastic noise too. I have checked for some loose bolts but everything seems fine. Also today mrning i noticed a small trace of oil on the engine above the oil filter were there is a metal pipe connected. What can be the issue??

First of all know that any modification to the engine might lead to loss of reliability and if you are not sure or dont fully understand what you are doing then its better to stay away from this.
The price for the exhaust is around 10k.
I am running on custom built ffe but i knew what i was getting into and like i said if you're not sure or dont understand what's happening then its better stay away as you might end up with a damaged engine.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Guys is there a loss of power or mileage if you are using shell ax7 ?
Someone pointed this out in the Engine oil thread here on xbhp.
I am going to buy the ax7 next month & these posts just deviate me from buying.
