Lean the AFR gradually and test the high speed. Till you reach a point where the top speeds satisfactory and at the same time the bike doesnt flutter at redline.Motorcycling Experience:

Sorry didn't get the issue. Is it like you are in mid traffic and after 'thud' sound the bike stalls?Originally posted by geek-boy View PostHey Guys!
I have completed 11,000 km on my Apache RTR 180 and have no major complaints so far but recently my bike stalls when zipping through heavy traffic...how ever the issue is there is a loud 'Thud' sound emitted when it happens as if something hammered the engine from the inside..never happened before...is it normal?
It won't, you have to cut it near the exhaust pipe area. Not a big issue, can be done with jugaadOriginally posted by ginni.verma View Posti own a cbz xtreme ...

You can go ahead with checking the tappet clearance.Sometimes,a richer A/F mixture makes the idle rpm unstable so make the mixture a bit leaner and see if the rpm comes down gradually.Originally posted by saipranav View Post
AFAIK,you can only make the fuel rich/lean by changing the position of the jet needle.When you remove the jet needle from the piston valve,you can see there are 3 adjustment slots in the BS-29 carb jet needle.The clip if set at highest position will lean the mixture while if set at lowest position will make the mixture too rich.The factory set position is the middle slot.Originally posted by ayashkm View Post
Adding a few pics of the jet needle..
In this pic,the needle has 3 slots,the clip is set at the highest position which will make the mixture too lean.Hope you got it.

Update.
Guy's I've been to the SVC today. Saw the new RTR's for real. IMO, they looked great People would go for the new RTR's for sure. The photos definitely not doing justice here.
The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment

Did you took any pics? Any idea about if we can have the headlights on our "classic" apaches?Originally posted by Rtrlover83 View PostUpdate.

+1 That is the only thing which in my bike looks incomplete or like missing something, If it is a direct fit and costs around 1k, I'll switch to it immediately.Originally posted by Krish1417 View PostDid you took any pics?

Yes and no...the bike stalls with a loud thud...i've been using the bike for 2 years now and this thing recently started happening...i know the sound a bike makes when it stalls but in my case the sound is just too loud (as i said its like some one's hammering it from the inside)Originally posted by prateek2210 View Post

Are you sure it isnt the Engine Kill Switch loose contact? Is the sound similar to when you kill the engine?It's always better to lose a second in life than to lose life in a second!

Same happened with me bro does it happen frequently or only the bike is cold startedOriginally posted by geek-boy View PostYes and no...the bike stalls with a loud thud...i've been using the bike for 2 years now and this thing recently started happening...i know the sound a bike makes when it stalls but in my case the sound is just too loud (as i said its like some one's hammering it from the inside)
Try warming up bike first then give it a try your problem will be solved .....i hope
Clutch is doing this due to cold start try this and telll.......

Kindly take your bike to SVC ASAP. The same is the issue due to failing one way clutch.There's lot to it other than saddle....

Hallo Drifty!
Thanks a lot for the detailed photograph of the needle as well as the schematic diagram. It it indeed helpful. I am interested to check any clogging of the main jet. If I find it clear, I shall change the needle height towards richer side.Comment

Wow. Great post. Do all the things that you told apply to RTR160 as well? I'm looking to get a good carb tuning. So, approximately how many revolutions from the leanest side should the screw be turned to get half way(The 'stock' position as per your pic)?Originally posted by Drifty View PostYou can go ahead with checking the tappet clearance.Sometimes,a richer A/F mixture makes the idle rpm unstable so make the mixture a bit leaner and see if the rpm comes down gradually.

+1.May be its the one way clutch issue.Originally posted by nox2505 View Post
Originally posted by ayashkm View PostThe same thing applies to most of the bikes including the RTR160.If you are referring to the Air-Fuel mixture screw(shown in the below pic),then its around 3 and a half turns from the leanest position,that would be the optimum mixture.Originally posted by pcgamer View Post
If you are looking towards changing the needle jet clip position,then setting the clip at lowest position will make the mixture too rich.It has most of the effect between 1/4th and 3/4th throttle.The engine will sputter with fuel and you can experience lazy kinda feeling in the mid range rpms if you set the clip at that setting.Best,you can add thin washers to increase the height of the needle jet by a 'little' margin which will allow 'slightly' more fuel to pass through it.This will serve your purpose if you have a free flow air filter installed in your bike.
