    R15 rear is 100, not 110 !!

        180 has got 17" rear..unlike RTR160's 18"....so R15 rear tyre will be a direct fit....but we have to adjust with the 100...so what..it has got the best grip out there.!!
        but are those tyres available in the market?

            Sorry man,for the wrong data,but the R15 Tyre should fit on the Apache without much hassle.
            Bad news is MRF is on strike and it might probably close down . Not sure whats going on exactly...

              how hard will it be to get the 17" rim off the 180 and swap it onto the 160? also sprockets would need to be changed as well im guessing.

                @redapple:considering ur rtr which has a rear drum brake it would be impossible to get the rtr 180's rear alloy...u can def'ly try pulsar rim which is 17"...sprocketting i think 1teeth drop at the rear would do that is 43t...

                    Hey, can anybody recommend a good chain spray for my A180? And the best place to get it in B'lore.
                    I want to change my pilot lamps, are the R15's compatible with mine?

                    Bang your head, while standing opposite/close to a wall, speed @2-3kmph? Hurts?
                    Increase your speed & watch the fun, when someone falls from a Motorcycle,unfortunately he can't choose which way to fall best & hurt himself less.

                      U can go for Motul Chain Spray. Available at Cherry agencies.

                      Cheaper option is OKS Chain Lube.

                              Cherry agencies is near Minerva circle.Above Good Year showroom. U can call them up and ask for directions if u dont know Minerva Circle.

                              Both the degreaser + lube costs around some 800+ bucks.
