    Mine is also OEM, same packing . I've not opened it, so dont know if its lubricated. Usually they are slightly lubed, but its good to lube it before installation. Most mechs do that.

      Ok..good..and why do you want to change your cable?Is it damaged?And any tips on setting the free play would be much appreciated.I see this topic has not been discussed before in this thread.

          Apache looks stunning in white and that too with ABS now..
          best of luck dude.

              Its frictionless cable. no need to lubricate.

                  Bike's length is the same.

                    The price of the part seems to vary a bit from place to place.And yes,the throttle response becomes smoother than ever ! But it will be as before(sluggish) after a few days of usage.Our RTRs dont have that 'smooth' play of throttle and feel tight as compared to Pulsars and R15s.I guess this must be due to the two separate cables creating the lag while pulling the accelerator.

                          Hi guys,my friend recently brought a 180 RTR..Today me and my buddy were just riding,another friend of his came and said "hey,this bike does not look like a 80k bike"?.
                          It didn't know how to react,and said then does your passion plus looks like a 52k bike?

                              Exactly !! They appear way too bright for a stock lamps. They look more like the Philips 65W on my bike currently !
                              It's always better to lose a second in life than to lose life in a second!

                                They are halonix 35w bulbs. the bulb costs about Rs.220 but it does the job well. if see the bulb closely its bluish color. its whitish though.
