    BTW, for you, just go to any good mechanic or spare part shop bro. I've seen that many of them have the Shell Advanced "VSX", which is the same AX7 only. Actually AX7 is the new name given to VSX (which was for 2-strokers also I guess). So you can use VSX also
    I will try AX7 for sure but atleast tell me the difference after putting it in.

      Engine becomes smoother as compared, lesser overheating, gearshifts become softer etc.. upto a certain level.

        For me its never been nor will ever be my DL, For me its always been and will always remain my RL {Riding License}

        I confess that I ♥ :
        *Being ogled at while waiting
        for lights to turn green
        *Fielding queries from massed onlookers
        *Pushing dream bikes to their limits
        *Blasting past slowpokes
        *Hoiking the front wheel
        *Scraping a knee around corners

          I too am using AX7 right now, again after a while. The difference is clearly posted by Garry.
          Owners who've clocked less than 5000 kms, please wait until you guys can try Advance AX7/Motul 3100 Gold.
          The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

              How do you guys go about changing engine oil? Don't you service at SVC?

                After completing 12k km.. Give the beast for service in TVS SVC & ask them not to change the engine oil.After service, take the bike to shell to fill petrol & do a 'free oil change'..Simple..

                          Guys, im really getting worried about the sound from the chain. Today I put my bike on center stand and put it into gear to try and find the source of the sound. At first I thought it was the chain touching the chain guard. But on close inspection I was roughly able to place it somewhere near the gear box. That got me worried. I really don't know what to do. Been to the SVC 4 times with this problem. It's still bot fixed, even after first service. If it is because the chain is loose, could someone tell me what tension I should check the chain for? It not taut. Seems little loose. Not very, only little.

                            The center part of the chain should move up and down by 1cm or say the chain thickness. What kind of sound do you hear?

                              1cm? Are you sure bro? One of the guy who've done ITI (or some course similar to it) told me that it should be 15mm to 25mm.

                                A sharp chak chak sort of sound. Closest I can describe is, have you heard the sound of a geared bicycle when you changed gears? Like that, only much louder and sharper. Its loud enough for the person riding next to me to hear.

                                The play is quite more than just 15-25mm. I think about twice the chain size.
