Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

So when the hell will the RTR200 will be on sale?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

The RTR 200 is already on sale,atleast in popular cities😀

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Zapper FY1 without any doubt. Even though it is one profile smaller. It offers the best grip in any conditions. I have literally tried to skid the tires in wet, dry, gravel and corners. But its is rock stable. The only issue is the speedo error increases a little bit. The initial few kms you might feel the bike leaning a bit more because of lower profile. Grip wise and performance wise you wont regret. I don't know about other two but its definitely is bigger profile than stock. I don't see any advantage of a bigger profile for the Rtr rims.
Other option would be zapper fs 90/90-17. That would be a perfect fit and it provides decent grip in all conditions.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

I havent seen even 1 RTR200 on road.

No Ownership reviews/thread on Xbhp or anywhere on the internet. This is a mystery.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Well, here is the link to the ownership thread.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

I'v seen at least 5 RTR200 on road. Bookings were open in B'lore in April itself and many bikes were delivered. After that there is/was a waiting period for delivery. Some dealers had stopped bookings a few weeks ago (not sure of the exact time line).

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

How does rtr 180 behaves with 7100(oil leak chances)?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

I have an year old RTR (8500 km on odo). For the past few days (weeks?), the engine stops randomly. When I start the bike again, the idling rpm hovers below 1000 and dies as soon as I touch the accelerator (even the faintest touch kills the engine). The bike refuses to start for some time. The only work around I have found so far is to manually adjust the idling screw and start the bike. The bike then starts normally and idles at around 1400-1600 rpm. After a few minutes, the idling rpm shoots to above 2000 rpm (probably since I have increased it earlier) and I have to adjust it back to around 1400 manually. Just before the engine stops, I can feel loss of power and jerks as if the bike is about to run out of fuel. This happens randomly and I cannot replicate this at the SVC. The guys at the SVC say that the bike is okay and they would look into it the next time I service my bike. I am unable to zero-in onto the cause. The only change I have made to my bike is changing the oil to TRU4 synthetic. I have ridden for around 1900 km after the oil change (including a 700 km trip). For the first 1500 km, I noticed no issues. The problem cropped up recently. Can someone please help me what I should get inspected/repaired?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

^^^ looks more like an electrical issue for me. Maybe the rains would have shorted out some electrical part and thus the bike is not able to adjust to the irregular electric interference. Check the electricals like the battery switches etc... If everything is fine, then culprit might be tuning or fuel blockage due to adulteration.

Or might be the fuse.... Replace the fuse first and see if this improves.

[MENTION=81564]Devil99[/MENTION] : The head will leak in continuous riding or riding at high revs. Use 2 gaskets to minimise it. [MENTION=76718]apachefan[/MENTION] : Afr has gone, the idle rpm should be 1100-1200.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

As [MENTION=13887]prateek2210[/MENTION] bhai pointed out, this seems to be an AFR issue. Inspect your spark plug and see if it's unusually blackish or white-ish. If so, setting the AFR correctly will solve the problem. You can do this yourself, or take it to a reputable mechanic.

See also if the spark plug cap is properly in place.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Thanks [MENTION=27115]ajextreme[/MENTION] [MENTION=13887]prateek2210[/MENTION] and [MENTION=80354]cep[/MENTION]. I've contacted the SVC. They took the bike and said they would inspect the electricals first and if everything seems fine, they would inspect the carb settings. They suspect that the screw and spring setting which is used to adjust idling is faulty. I would update after I get the bike back. Thanks everyone.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Did any model of the Apache come with the six speed gearbox?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Nope, never
