Actually I don't know when did I checked it earlier, but I had 69kmph@5000RPM in my mind. But some days ago, I saw it showing 71 but ignored it. Now, someone posted 71 here so I guess I wasn't wrong in reading 71 @ 5K exactly.Originally posted by sambit View PostDoes it?? wow I have been riding it for so long,but never made it over 67 kmph...is my bike exceptional??

Apache 180Comment

My bike always shows 68kmph @ 5k rpm. Checked it hell lot of times in past 2.75 years, almost daily.Comment

Update from me
Checked it today morning.
Getting speeds of 55km/hr@4000rpm and 69km/hr@5000rpm, both on top gear.
Tire pressures just before riding:
25psi front and 28psi rear
Bike's weight is a little less.
Saree guard has been removed (But will put it back soon)
Joel's tuned free flow exhaust is in use. It's lighter. So these might be the reason for a slight increase i'am getting at 5K rpm. Don't know.
I weigh 63kgs
The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment

Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Hey thanks buddy...

Tried tightening the fork but still the same problem and under heavy braking there is a sound(khaat)..Originally posted by cs1183 View PostComment
