    I dont know about the 160, but the 180's vibe zone is between 4k to 5k.
    You can only ride better tomorrow if you ride safe today.

      Earlier there was no vibration felt on front foot pegs, but now while driving there is noticeable amount of vibration even on front pegs forget the rear one. Also i have set the idle RPM to 1300 but as bike runs for 3 to 4 kms it shows 2 RPM in netural. Again i have to set the RPM back to 1300.
      1300 is too much...i have it set in between 1k~1.1k. Cold morning starts require a long self/hard kick but later when the engine heats up a slight thumb push is enough to get the RTR back to life

          No.
          Ideal idle RPm is between 1400-1500.

            Why does RPM always goes to 2000 or 24000, even after setting it to 1400+-
            When approaching a corner, stay on the gas until you see Jesus. Then brake HARD.

              Cuz you set it in cold engine, set it at warmed up/hot engine.

                              • My Front n rear wheel tyres are not rotating freely...i checked it on a friend's Hunk...his tyres did many revolutions when d bike was on main stand...but mine..i cud hardly complete 1 revolution...it takes a lot of effort to drag the bike using the power of legs..is it because of this reason that so much effort is required or it is the case with all apache..!
