Guys , can anyone tell me , excatly whch page in the manual is the ideal RPM settings mentioned , the mech here says ideal RPM is 1k only , im not able to find the Ideal rpm settings in the manual , lookd thru it twice(very fast).

its given under technical specifications page

In my FI owner's manual, on page 87, technical specifications, under engine, is :

Engine idling rpm : 1400 100 rpm

Thanks guys , heading towards the SVC today.

Just gave the Bike for Service today for fixing the "Thud" Sound from Front(cone set or fork issue),Idle rpm fixing etc.Idle RPM as per service centre guy is 1400rpm.But ,when I took delivery of RTR180 ,it was at 2000rpm!
Completed 230kms IIRC.Here ,it is Heavy Rain for past one week or so.so ,no trips yet.

Did you ask them to use some other engine oil besides TRU4?

^I changed the Oil at 160kms in local A.S.C .used TVS TRU4 .My First Service is yet to come...Will change the Oil at 750kms.Anyways,I would like to Know which Oil I should buy for first service?Any Recommendation?(Mobil?)

I went to SVC and asked the mech to change the engine oil , he suggested that Castrol wud be good , what u guys have to say??

He also said that i have to change gears pressing clutch at abt half compressed state rather than fully compressed ,WTF??

go for castrol power1,or petronas....

shifting the gears at half cluth will F#%@ ur plates and damage the gearbox too...
next time he tells u that,show him the finger.....

LMAO!!

Seriously, from where do these people come.Dont know a dime about the working of the machines/engines and still they work on engines.What a contradiction!!

Other than first n second gear, rest of the gears can be upshifted with just MINIMAL pressure on the clutch, with proper throttle control .. I guess thats what that Mechanic was trying to say.. lol.

Half-information is 10 times more dangerous than no information

What is the part number of NGK Iridium Spark Plug for Apache RTR 180?
CR8EIX ? Just for Information Purpose Only!

i got mine last week on 31st... mine was delayed by two weeks...


.. nice.. time to unleash the racing DNA

guess i was a lot luckier for the shorter wait..


noob mech.. he wud have meant something else i guess

as far as oil is concerned ... go for castrol or motul or petronas



Lmao!!!

Had an accident today , while coming back from college.i was going at 40 then i realised that i forgot to were my helmet , so i slowed down the bike very slowly to almost 5 (i was searchin for neutral),and even i moved to the leftmost postion on the road. BOOM!!! i think it was a discover or a shine whch hit me at abt 60 (i assume) from the back , the bike is a new one and the driver is a faculty at my college ,its absolutely his fault. he along with his frndz were going back to the city , he was tryin to overtake his frnd who was driving a car (YES THESE PPL ARE THE FACULTY IN MY COLLEGE). as soon as the accident occurred one senr faculty came to us and shouted at us "What is that driving??". i told him that v were almost going at 0 speed then he stopd , he was talkin without even knowing what happend,As soon as he hit , i was able to stop the bike from fallin suddenly , used a single leg to stop , now that leg is hurting badly. my frnd who was behind fell down ,no damage done to any person. my tail lights , rear mudguard and saree guard and my helmet are completely damaged and needs to be replaced, silencer and crash guard have minor scratches. Expected Cost ~2.5k.

sad to hear that...so did u let go that guy, wat if he is a faculty tell him to pay the expenses...watever may be the case if a guy hits from the rear he is at fault ,so u can file a case too...
