            Second will be the faster means 3gear 30 To 50
            Cus i dont think bike can do 50 in first gear.if want to do the same engine will be on full stress. More than 11k rpm in first gear is not good for health of engine.

              My response exactly when I took delivery of my RTR 180. It showed 154 kph. I realised it may be an error but just asked the sales guy to see what he would say. He said it shows the top speed achievable on the bike!!! and I was like - Give me the keys, i want to get out of here asap!

                In scenario 1: you might just break something
                In scenario 3: you might be at pains overtaking a fully loaded bus

                If you want acceleration it is best to drop down a gear, rather than just raise the throttle.

                  Trying spraying WD spray over it... might help. And wrap a cloth over the screwdriver (provides much better grip )
                  Guys you didn't tell him to take the 'pipe' out look for the 'kachra' inside..I am so excited because I checked/drained it today for the first time..

                  I have seen some people riding and changing gears according to the speedo..You shouldn't do that.You will learn when to change gears on your own.It's not rocket science! When ever you will feel engine losing steam,shift down or whenever you feel engine to be over-stressed just upshift.
                  And for the latter part(upshift) you need not to hit redline everytime.I meant riding normally,like overtaking etc.
                  If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

                    • Got a new rear tyre Pirelli MT-75 100/80-17 for my 180. Its really amazing. Didnt get the 110-80-17 but thats not a big deal.

                      MT 75 , Motorcycle Tyres - PIRELLI

                      Now both my tyres are 1 size less than stock. Front is mrf zapper FY 80/90-17. Overall handling and grip levels are way better than original.

                          I usually get enough water out of it to wash my hands

                          Nice job
                          I use whatever I get to wash the filter. Shampoo, surf, diesel... just make sure to dry out the water every time.

                          • My New Apache RTR 180

                            Hi,

                            Thanks to this forum and the members of this forum that i was able to finalise on my bike " The Apache RTR 180" or more popularily known as the WHITE MENACE and finally i brought it home this monday.

                            And I would like to tell that I am fully satisfied with my decision and now I am just waiting for the running period to finish so that I can break free he he

                            Truly it is an awesome experience...



                            The only thing i regret is the money i paid for the Teflon coating around 450 rs which was not needed as on the second day of my bike purchase itself it rained here in Bangalore and the coating got washed away :P

                            Can some one please guide me to clean the bike means can I use just plain water or anything specific is required as I don't want to end up making scratches all over my bike in the cleaning process...all the dirt and mud in the rain is sticking onto the mud guards and the alloys so how to remove and clean it without making scratches

                            Thanks and here are the pics of my new ride ...

                              How much you shelled out for the Pirelli? how much price diff is there between 100 and 110 sizes??
                              It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed :)

                                Dude, i know that knowing when to change gears is not rocket science, anyone will know it after riding for sometime, i also do know that redlining is not good for the bike and unnecessary, i know when to shift the damn gears... all i wanted to know was which of those scenarios has has the faster acceleration and which has the lowest,i wasnt able to figure that out since i cant ride with a stopwatch in one hand, and you are giving me lessons on when to change gears instead <_<
