    Yes. That's a sign of a weak or discharged battery.

        All models of Apache except ABS ones are AC. So lights, horn works on engine generated power and not on battery like DC bikes eg. FZ16.

        So even if the battery is completely dead, your bike will start with kick and horns and lights will work.

              Just inspected the bike myself. The indicators, horns and the Speedometer console work fine when the bike on (but the engine is off.). Haven't tested the pass switch.
              I started the bike with the kicker. Tested the indicators, Horns and headlight and tail light, everything works fine. Switched off the bike, and pressed the self start, now the digital speedometer console shuts off and then back on. I am afraid that i don't want to do it again often, as the speedometer will malfunction.

              Do i have to check for anything else before going for a battery replacement.

                get a volt meter and check the output. It should be 12Amp

                if not change the battery, I have used Amaron, works good

                  Although it's unlikely, check for any short-circuits before you put your money out.

                  And can your hear the self-motor when you press the start button?

                            • Apache ABS not working after battery recharge

                              Hey fellow riders..

                              I own a TVS Apache RTR 180 abs(2014 model) I've been facing the issue of no self start for a few weeks now.. So I decided to go to the nearest garage and get my battery recharged.. It was a local garage, but then I thought you don't need a authorized service center for battery recharge..

                              After recharging the battery, my electrical connection seems to be a bit off.. The headlights, horn, and indicators are working, but the speedometer, odometer and abs are not..its even more confusing as the display is working absolutely fine.. I see 0 in the speedo, and my odo reads some old record (probably the reading just before removing the battery..)

                              With no abs working, I don't feel great riding the bike at high speeds.. If anyone knows how to get it fixed by myself, I'd be grateful forever.. Or if anyone knows a trustworthy mechanic who can fix this, please do let me know..

                                Hi.
                                Please check all the connections of the battery & the starter motor. See if there is a cut in any of the wires.
