Hello All,

I just completed my third service on my RTR at about 5400Kms as i had a long ride from bangalore to yercaud of close t0 600kms.
I didint understand that the service center guy fill up synthetic oil, i have read in this forum say that it should be used after 10K on odo, should i go back to normal mineral oil?
I have one issue, when i hit arround 70-75 on odo at around 6.5K rpm it makes some ringing sound for like a second and goes away. its specific to this speed and rpm. its like cycle bell which we ring really at fast pace. any idea what it might be?. and also engine feels little harsh. I am not good at identifying the sounds but feels different like its choking up not freely reving. Also the vibrations are too much at 50. Please let me know any suggestions.

Nothing to do with synthetic oil.

Hi guys,

I'm facing a problem with the speedo and odo. The speed keeps on changing from zero to 160kmph even in neutral and some times even when the engine is off. I've noticed that a small shake to the handle bar makes the speedo go crazy.I know that RTR shows a speed more than zero(3/4/5/..) when stationary but mine goes all the way to 160..!!
What could be the issue?

Time to replace entire console or may be just a speedometer cable.

Hey Guys,

I started the bike after a week and the bike started but the engine died within a few seconds. Then I engaged choke and started the bike, it started with 1 kick but the rpm shot upto 4k and the bike was like screaming. I let it run for 10-15 seconds and disengaged the choke.
Do the rpms shoot up like this when we engage choke?

Can you please tell me how long do I need to keep the choke engaged when I start the bike for the first time after a long time?

It depends on the temp attained by the bike.
Pull the choke too long and the bike will stutter , pull it for short time and it would sleep again, I personally never used choke though, but sense if the bike reached an optimum temperature and then let go off the choke

@vivekgautams even I have this sporadic issue. The service center guy told me to change the speedo cable set estimated around 700-750 bucks.

Thanks for the reply. I've cleaned the abs sensors and cable and all electrical junctions(relays, HECU connector,etc..) with brake cleaner spray. It seems to have solved the issue.

I'm not sure which one of the speedometer cables is/was faulty, both the wheels on the ABS model have speed sensors.Console is working fine,now.

As per parts catalog its Rs5000
Tried powder coating it, might solve the issue

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Hello prateek!! Thanks for the info.. I've tried powder coating.. But it can't withstand the heat.. Or may be the powder coating I've done was not good quality..
Had Anyone else tried this??
