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.Originally posted by makjack View PostShould i go in for getting the P220 front and rear tyres for my apache?
+1Originally posted by kantu View PostProbably sensor is rusted, get it checked.
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.

Good that you changed the spark plug now.Its always better to change the spark plugs every 10K kms.Originally posted by abhishekch View Postchanged spark plug for the first time at 17.4k kms.
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...

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.

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.Originally posted by Raja Saiyan View PostIt said it will emit 4300 kelvin while my stock is 3200 kelvin
it won't be bright on rain ?

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.
