      Stock battery is of 9amp.Replace your battery with new one preferably a maintenance free battery(9Ah) and return to stock 35W lamp.Go for HIDs/55W halogen only after DC conversion.

        • i bought the rtr 180 three days back. the idle RPM raises to 2100 rpm sometimes !! I am worried. the ODO is 90Kms till now. When I start the machine, the IDLE is around 1400 but after riding around 10kms the idle raised to 2100. It happened more than thrice, any suggestions?

            Check your Engine Oil level.

                The idle rpm is not set correctly.Ride a few kms so that the engine gets hot,you will see the 2100 rpm on your tacho,turn the rpm adjuster screw in anti clockwise direction & set it around 1300k.Turn OFF the engine and again start it to check whether its around that 1400+/-rpm.This has to be done ONLY when the engine is suitably hot.

                  This is common with the RTR So don't worry and get the idling checked
                  If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.

                    The ABS version is quite good! I test drove it and was quite impressed

                        Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                        • DC Converstion

                          Does anyone has an idea about converting RTR180 electrical system into DC by using the RTR180 ABS parts?

                            Quite new to biking scene, so scared to play around now. lets see how the service center guys react tomorrow. Anyways hv to visit to write the number plate. shall ask to check both engine oil level and idle RPM adjustment.
                            Thanks for the advice, it means a lot to a newbie like me.

                                i've put a pirelli sports demon for rear and its pretty damn good. but what i have put is the front tire of cbr. YES FRONT TIRE FOR MY REAR FITMENT. few days mileage dropped then its stable around 40 now. speed and pickup remaining good.

                                ppl check this out - apache now comes with k&n pirelli projector split seats etc FROM TVS??? QUALITY LOOKS BAD
