    And how reliable is this for long-term owner ship eg., Some good 8 to 10 yrs...
    Its really good, Have done more than 700 Kms in a day. The machine will give no problems. Only issues will be with your fatigue levels and bit of numb hands if you are just starting to tour due to the vibes, eventually you get used to it. odo stands at 47K after 2.5 years.

    Thanks for the info.
    What other parts you using on 180 from 200? Any specific reasons? Have you observed any improvements?

    Mine is at 12k yet the brake pads are as new & effective..I usually use both the brakes. Rear brake to slow down & front brake to stop all the time.

    Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

    the fuel pipe which runs from the fuel cock to the Carb has a metal clip lock, has anyone misplaced it?
    i have misplaced it and i went to the TVS showroom asking them to replace my pipe (as it was damaged) and what they did was just fit another pipe without the metal clip,it seems they dont have the stock.Even the pipe which they fit looks very cheap and i am sure it is cheap quality. Anyone knows where to source this part? Also i need the Rubber casing for the gear lever(the one which is circled in the image) i need this part too.those TVS SVC idiots dont seem to have anything.

    I had to push my bike for 3-4 km then I found a local garage, he had that bolt. Then I topped up the oil n came to pune

And after servicing i was traveling from mumbai to pune and after 40 kms my bike stopped with giving piston sound. So I stopped and checked the i noticed that bolt which was used to drain oil was not in the place and all oil got spilled on road. And now my bike is giving strange noise first i thought it was due to tappet settings but local service engineer says that it has block piston issue and has to open the upper compartmentof engine... Should i proceed or should show first to tvs authorised service centre guys.

    Note: plz suggest good service centre in pune

    As your engine was running without oil for 40Kms it would have got seriously overheated and might have got some internal damages too. Please take it to Authorized SVC and also find the mech who did the oil change for you as he forgot to tighten the drain screw. Damages can be severe to moderate depending how long did you ride again after finding that drain screw missing. Ask them to check the engine thoroughly and replace whatever under warranty.

    Yes get it replaced, it might crack and spill fuel on hot engine which is dangerous.

    Thanks for your inputs,i think cleaning every 250-300 kms makes a lot difference to the sprocket life.

    Big Thanks!

    The Mech however mentioned that the Sprockets have worn out and need to be replaced and i told him that i will get it done during the next service. the current sprockets have about 12,000 kms on them and if i am not wrong sprockets should at least last around 18-20K Kms right?
