        No. I wash my bike myself,with descent throw speed(normal municipality pipe).But I guess the ignition has gone kaput. may be I need to change the whole set. But it is happening sometimes.once in 2 days.so what if it still exist after the change? thats why I am a bit skeptical to change.

          During the power wash in first free service at a TVS SVC, water entered into the wiring & the wires were getting grounded..The Tacho-meter would do the initial check & go back to zero & all other indicator lamps on the console stopped glowing..Got the wires changed under warranty & the same console worked properly...
          Water due to a wash/rain might be the culprit,I guess...Get the wires checked first...If your bike is under warranty,no tension..

                I had faced the same problem before...I replaced the throttle/accelerator cable as it got cut..Ever since the change I'v not experienced the strange idle increasing problem.. It might be a worn out cable getting stuck or something like that...

                    Burning smell... what kind of burning smell, plastic, oil burning??? Do a visual check all over. In most cases it will be some debris sticking on the underside of the engine case and burning (happened a lot to me )

                    Chain getting loose more often usually happen if the alignment is not proper. The indication marks on the adjuster need not always be accurate. Also, this happens often when the chain n sprocket are nearing the end of its service life. Depends on usage. I've had chains last 30k, and less than 8k.

                        A new set of drive chain along with two sprockets (front and rear) costs 1000 INR here in my place.
                        Do check with the SVC whether it's really time to replace it.
                        The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

                              OEM is Rolon. That's good enough. Else you can go for Diamond which is reportedly good, no personal experience though

                              Depends on the condition of your engine. On a healthy engine it lasts really long. Go by the manual unless you have any issues
