    I would like to upgrade the rear disc in my bike to the one in the rtr200 4v.
    Anyone ever tried this before?
    Thanks in advance
    I think it may require modding the mounting point of the brake caliper to accommodate the larger disc.

    BTW.... Why do you want to upgrade the rear disc? If you want better stopping power, you should upgrade your front brake and not the rear one.

    Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

    Guys, recently on one rainy day I stopped my RTR 180 on a long signal using engine kill switch to wait till I get green. Once signal turned green, I tried to start the bike but it didn't start. I tried to switch off/on engine kill switch multiple times with no response. Since I was in middle of traffic, I slowly moved her to road corner and tried to start manually and still it didn't help.

    Finally I turned off/on the key and later bike got started with self. Did any one had such experience. What could be the root cause. ?

    Get Rolon chain sprocket set. I changed it on my rtr 160 at 15000kms, even though there was still life left in the stock. Now it's 10000kms done on them, no problem whatsoever. It's available for rtr180 too.

    Rolon makes o-ring type sprocket kits for Apache 160. I've seen a couple of them. You could ask in a good spare shop about the rolon kit for 180 as well.

    I think the issue developed over time. Earlier my friend took a ride in my bike and said it lacks power and sounds different (he also owns the same bike). I thought it could be because of the improper carb tuning. Then I had the issue that I mentioned above. If I blip the throttle at idle, the engine will turn off with a sound like a misfire. But if I blip the throttle at over 3k rpm, it will rise to 6-7k rpm. Engine will knock at 20 kmph in 3rd gear. Today morning, the bike refused to start outright.

    After the spark plug change, blipping the throttle at idle makes the rpm go to 3-4k, engine sounds crisper and no knocking at 20 kmph in 3rd gear.
    Good, it got solved! Sometimes it's the simple things that make a difference!haha!

    Was the cross section bent by any chance? Bosch plugs have a tendency to have that error. Happened with my Splendor's stock plug. Since then changed to NGK.

    All of a sudden, the bike refused to start today morning. The bike was taken to SVC and the spark plug was replaced. Now the bike is running fine.

    Yeaa, but my problem was that, it used to choke in the middle of the road while taking a turn or when there was a need to accelerate quickly, which put me in a dangerous situation once. Hence the search for the solution began.
