    Hi All,
    I am facing a peculiar issue on my Apache RTR 180. Time on digital consol is resets to 12.00 am at ignition (every time). This issue is from a month and started from no where.

    I checked the speedo as well as the fuel guage, all working fine except for the time. Tried of resetting to current time and changes all of a sudden on ignition. I asked my trusted mechanic and he has no clue about it. Checked with SVC, they say that the entire consol needs to be chnged. Is that true? Any body facing similar issue?

    My Apache is 5 years old. 44k on odo
    I'd immediately doubt the battery if Trip/Time resets on load. Its an indicator that either your battery needs to be replaced or that your battery isn't getting adequately charged.

        IMO the rtr 200 4v wheels would be wider by a few j. Do check them at some TVS outlet. If so, you will have to change spacers. Also thw rear disc fitting would be an issue. Not worth it until you are really hard pressed on doing the mod.

          It is always possible to install some aftermarket USD forks on any bike. Do remember that the topic of USD vs normal forks has been discussed a lot and I think it is not worth upsetting the chassis with extra force passed on by USD forks given the minor benefits like dive protection and stuff. The coneset and chassis bear all the extra force, I wouldn't like it going at my chassis anyday. But yes, you can still install them.

              Hello Peeps,

              My RTR ABS Is currently 2.5 years old with 16k on the odo.
              I am planning on a tire upgrade, is it good to go with a MRF REVZ radial series or do you have better choices?


              Thanks !

              Is it an ABS version? it could be a battery issue.
              I usually just follow the time to reserve method. As long as you dont switch to Reserve dont bother checking the gauge.

                  check the wiring connection that connects the fuel tank and the speedometer. you have to remove the seat to check this.

                      The service indicator has started blinking and my bike doesn't start using electric start on the first try, though kick start works. I have to turn the key to off and on again to use electric start. This is a second hand bike and the console doesn't work. Haven't been able to reset the service indicator. Hence not sure if this is how it works or if the bike has some other issue. Any advice?

                          Service indicator has nothing to do with the problem you are facing.
                          It must be some other issue.

                            Use a multimeter to determine if the battery is adequately getting charged.

                                I had an over revving issue 2 months back. Even if i leave the throttle completely(in neutral or in gear with the clutch pulled in fullly) the rpm would settle down to 2.5-2k rpms and then slowly reduce down to idle of 1k rpm. Bike would vibrate and a lot of fuel used to get wasted. I got the accelerator cable changed and it got resolved. Now its back again and this time the SVC told they lubricated the cable, increased play etc. but nothing seems to working. Should i change the cable again( just 2 months old) or will it be some other issue?. Has anyone else faced a similar issue?.
