      Before checking suspension have you checked Tire Pressure If you are filling up at only one bunk do it some where else now, sometimes that can be faulty.

      Congrats ! Ride Safe

      I have dropped my bike 2-3 times to the left due to this side stand is lil bit bent and it comes in the way of my left foot. What should be done for this ? I checked with mech he said it had to be removed and welded back again !!! is this correct ?

      BTW switched to Zapper Q and Zapper FS Feels Great !!!

      • problems during biketrip.

        Just returned after a road-trip to yelagiri from chennai. (550kms on the odo totally). It was one heck of a trip that insipite of a simple place like yelagiri. We were 7 members on a fazer, pulsar 150, passion plus and my rtr abs. without doubt the white menace got the most attention and repeated ride requests. Some were even addicted to it. Its performance just blew the competition away. Only thing the fazer was butter smooth and the vibrations in my rtr ruined some of the good name it earned. Now to the main issue.

        I prepared my rtr 180 abs for the trip by giving it for service (had completed only 1k kms). During the beginning of the trip itself after 100kms my rtr refused to start by kicker (it was perfectly fine before the service) and even by self start also . I removed the air filter and found it was fresh. After i fixed it back the bike started through self start but was a bit sluggish ( the bike turned off sometimes after starting ). The kickstart is working now only after repeated kicks. And in the middle of the trip the taillight conked off. But i somehow rode on and completed the trip without it. Other wise the performance was just pure awesome. What might have happened in the service or might there be any other issue. ?

              congrats Iceman! and sure you'll be a Happyman here after whenever you twist your wrist

              @madrasmojo:
              just a few guesses- check the choke lever,if it's in ON, then due to overflow,bike will switch off after start. Also check the battery and any short-circuit.

                What is the idle rpm of your rtr? And yes do clean the +ve and -ve of the battery

                      If ridden less than 7000kms, try the following premium mineral oils:
                      Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40
                      Shell Advance AX5 10W40

                      If ridden more:
                      Motul 5100 4T 10W40
                      Shell Advance AX7 10W40

                      If completed over 10K kms, and want to try a full synthetic engine oil:
                      Shell Advance Ultra 10W40 (check the oil level often)

                      Replace the engine oil filter too no matter what oil.

                      The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.
