The Throttle Switch has been known to fix the after burn issue. Have the SVC change it. Cost approx Rs 120.

Replace Stock Tyres

Hi,

I am looking to replace the stock tyres on my Apache RTR 180. I have used it over 2 years and am looking to replace it with an option which provides more stability, grip and better performance. The stock tyres dont seem to grip properly in water.

The front tyre dimensions are 90/90x17" tubeless
The rear tyre dimensions are 110/80x17" tubeless.

Any recommendations???

Although I would prefer Pirelli / IRC , you can discuss tyres here
Pirelli don't come in that size (rear), continental tyres can be an option too.

P.S : Just saw that you posted there

Guys, as the topic of tires is going on, how about the Zapper Vyde for the rear? Yeah, I know its 120.

I changed tires of my bike 3 months back.
Front MRF 90/90-17
Rear TVS 110/80-17.
Satisfied with both of them.

@Prateek:Happy Birthday to your 'White Devil'! :-)Wish you many more successful miles on your steed.BTW 21k kms in one year is Insane! :-D
@Psr Sir:It will be great if you can give some tips regarding throttle grip,throttle cable cleaning/lubing.The throttle response gets sluggish after some period of usage.

Yes, last year same day i.e. Children's Day at 1.30pm I took the delivery of my Devil, and today when ODO reads 21700kms with numerous tortures of my riding, added with my pampering my White Devil has never disappointed me, no matter what it be, performance, mileage, speed in every part it has given me what I needed, it gave me a top end when I wanted to outrun some bikes, it gave me the wheelies when I wanted to show off, even it gave me mileage when I was broke... In all it understood me.
Its been not a mere bike for me, but a companion too....
Wishing my White Devil more birthdays like this........

Congratulations, Prateek. Wishing you many a more mile munching moments!!

Thanks buddy...it is quite a lot indeed. Reasons being :

Office commute 40kms to and fro
Dhabha G2G (when I was regular) 80kms to and fro
Whenever I am low,bored,angry I go out for a short 200-300km run to Mathura/Agra/Jaipur/Chandigarh
My girlfriend lives 40kms away

Thanks Buddy, to be honest, your RTR's golden alloys and the video in you signature was one of reasons responsible for me going for this Devil

The TVS name for TPS is Throttle Switch

I need to check my compression etc. No, I'm not on the big bore now...

ohke but do tell me the compression ratio or atleast tell me the exact method to measure it using the compression gauge. Today i measured mine at the svc and it was 11. can u plzz tell me the exact method to measure it.

and what is this reason behind such a low top speed.

Dude.... Dont worry about the 159.4 cc written on the side of the Block... It indeed is a RTR160 block, which has been resleeved by Joel.. But it doesnt make any difference if the Big bore was made from a 160cc block or a 180 cc block, cos material wise both are the same...

And The compression ratio after fitting the Big Bore and the FFE should be around 11.5:1, as per Joel.....

Sorry didnt get to check the figures utkarsh wanted. checked today but there are no figures like that. so i guess karkai is right. the best person to confirm would be joel himsef. email him or call him. i've always found him helpful with any query.
