just got my bike from second service today and i found that right tank scoop racing stripe sticker has come off a bit.should i ask for a free replacement??? and the bike wasnt cleaned properly this time.but the bikes comparatively smooth now.the SVC's really suck.either they just wash the bike and dont do anything else or vice versa.

@ social- apache 180 is supposed to touch 136 on speedo for real.i think chicane has that pic. ill test the top out again.cuz mine refused to go beyond 99 with a pillion and 113 solo.

Well I've never crossed 130

but some have managed it. Guess a long straight (downhill preferred) and you might just hit it.

Just make your a/f mixture richer and you might get better top-end.

My FI used to top at 133.

Ask Swagat (CHICANE) he might have done wonders !

I'll give another shot tomorrow. Early morning sounds just right

But damn the traffic in Delhi. Something always pops up

It's not a 160 for sure.160 has orange coloured display.RTR 160 FI comes with blue back lit display.I guess it's a 180.

chicane man you are unbelieveable!!!

please tell me that your using a stock bike with no mods whatsoever! cuz this is tempting me to try!

@ nisnth- i got my service done in triton motors hebbal...1st serivice they polished it but 2nd service it was just horrible.

yesterday i was crusing at about 70, suddenly i had to apply the brakes suddenly the bike,and man its scary to apply brakes suddenly on this bike, the tyres just dont have any traction.whenever i want to apply a sudden brake i have to think twice cuz the tyres slip a lot.there are no problems like this on a pulsar. thats why i tend to lose confidence at high speeds.and i am scared to corner too. these TVS tyres have become nightmare for me!

**Digital_shubhi** · 02-18-2011, 01:28 AM

^^^^ Get MRF tyres on your bike and you will feel good.
And I hope you know how to brake at high speeds so that tyres don't skid.

TVS Tyres have good traction when on Dry Tarmac ! U can corner at amazing speeds... The only problem is when the road is wet. The bike just refuses to go in a straight line !!! Damn !! I'll have to change tyres this coming monsoon !

Hey dont apply rear brake at high speeds, (plz correct me if i am wrong)
but this is what i do , apply front first, bring down to 40or 30 atleast then apply rear gradualy to stop it.

except for panic braking i use both the brakes and it comes to an awesome stop(when the speed is around 60-75). Even on higher speeds it would be better to apply both the brakes in a progressive manner.

This link provides some good info on braking
