      P220 front tyres will be OK with the bike but for the rear I would recommend the MRF Zapper C 110/80 17''(Dazzler's rear tyre).I think Chicane is currently using the same tyre.

      FYI when taking reading you should put it on main stand then turn on ignition, else it will give absurd readings.

      The Apache RTR's fuel gauge works well. Haven't had the problems you've mentioned.
      I've noted that, if ignition is turned on while bike parked with side stand, the gauge shows more no.of bars than actual.

      throttle is very crisp now haven't ridden much since change..

      old plug was showing some signs of wear off by missfiring,jerks. and even throttle was not crisp...
      Good that you changed the spark plug now.Its always better to change the spark plugs every 10K kms.

      Information about it in this link below :
      HS1 XTREME WHITE HALOGEN MOTORBIKE ATV BULB 12V 35/35W | eBay
      These are just 35W halogens with a white tint,but the visibilty will be lower than the stock bulbs.Yes,it will be a direct fit on the holder.
      HS1=H4 halogen bulb..

      A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

          it won't be bright on rain ?
          Because the white light gets absorbed in water and doesnt reflect back, you will have less visibility in rain and fog and also you won't get much improvement in lighting it will just be change in colour. Just go through few lighting threads on xbhp to get a better idea and be careful with electricals since you have a fi bike.

                • Hey guys I have a problem.
                  Whenever I leave my bike idle for a long time (I always leave engine engaged in gear) I have observed that even after pressing the clutch the bike is not moving freely initially. It behaves like it is in gear and the clutch is not pressed at all(even though the clutch is pressed). After I forcebly move the bike for a couple of inches,then I get a tick sound and the bike starts moving freely with pressed clutch in gear.
                  I had faced this problem once before and I ended up with a clutch bearing broken into pieces.
                  If some one could tell me what is thecause of theproblem ... itimone extremely helpful.
                  Thx in advance.

                    Can you elaborate on this thing? Sorry , didn't get that.
                    When was the clutch bearings changed? Have you checked the clutched plates?

                      I have changed the clutch bearing about 10 days back. Mechanic says clutch plates r fine.
                      Sorry for the typo. I meant engine not turbine...

                            Oops sorry missed your reply. Check whether there is some play with the clutch cable? If not something is wrong with the clutch plates imo, rest wait what others say

                              Yes there is a little amount of play with he clutch cable which i guess is required...
                              I dont have the confidence to go for a long ride
                              Don't want to be stranded in the middle of no where AGAIN...
