      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.

            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.

                My bike is just 1,300Kms old. I get speeds of 66kmph @5000 Rpm(In 5th Gear). Proper Tyre pressure and everything.

                      Because it will someday help you determine your clutch health.
                      Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                      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.

                        I know that My bike's clutch plates need a change too after 21K of touring I was speaking of guys who have done hardly 2K kms and getting worried.

                              Use semi-synth Motul 5100 or if you want a fully synth then go for motul 7100



                              OK
                              Hey thanks buddy... Will try 7100 after 500kms and let you know. and do you know the reason why handlebar shakes when we leave both the hands and ride.....i mean my bike has that problem , it shakes as if its out of control. Tried tightening the fork but still the same problem and under heavy braking there is a sound(khaat)..

                                nope, they said clutch plates are not covered under warranty >.<

                                guys need some info urgently, there is a part in the right side of the crank shaft which lies before the clutch plates, my mechanic calls iot the 'brass cap' what is the official name used by the TVS guys fopr this part? if possible please tell me the part number also...

                                AND what happened to the spare parts catalogue.... its wiped out... WTF!!!!!!!!!!
