      It's fine, but don't expect this one to keep your ride smooth for more than 2000 kms, as its kind of a c****y oil.

        Just came back from a 1000 km trip on my Apache RTR 180 ABS. It was good. However I faced one problem with RPM meter. Its falls and rise for no reason sometimes. For examples while running on 70 in 5 gear it keeps on fluctuating between 1000 RPM to 7000 RPM.

          Get the meter replaced if it's still under warranty.

              Then go to the service centre and get the meter console replaced with a new one for free

                  Yes it is possible. You won't get it at the SVC though. When I enquired at a local spares shop, he said it is available at a cost of approx 700 for one side..

                      Hi guys.

                      I own a Apache 180 from last April (odo 16k)
                      From a month, I feel the chain is getting loose frequently..
                      I had changed the chain at 8k.

                        Get it cleaned and lubricated well after every 300kms for better chain life. My first chain and sprockets lasted till 28000kms.

                          Yes. Last month alone cleaned and lubed twice.

                          Though untill last month the chain was used for close to 1.5k in rain off-road without any cleaning or lubing.
                          I'm thinking whether the chain/sprocket has worn out because of that.

                            Check if the chain was adjusted properly and has the specified tension (refer to the manual). Too tight a chain will wear out your sprockets and chain, and also call for frequent adjustments.

                              And as per popping, you are running lean on AFR. get a mechanic who can tune it in a good way. Jerking is also because of the same
                              Might be a TPS issue.

                                Took my bike for second free service last day. Did oil change too, though ASC guys said its not needed.
                                Now I can hear some noise from engine once the engine get hot. Its same sound that we hear in a RE classic 350 loud and clear. On my RTR 180 ABS it is low but there. Is it piston, or spark plug or what?
