Phew,Seems like my observation was correct.Will check out the bigger bush.Thanks for the info,prakash!!Originally posted by prakash_mvpa View Post--
As per TVS Dealer Here ,TVS Has already informed TVS ASC's about the Issue with Few Batches of Apache RTR180 with Front Fork having slightly less amount of Fork Oil+ a change to a Bigger Bush(Connected to fork piston) .For ME - I have to Go Till to TVS Regional Head to Resolve this Issue.
My Advice for Future RTR 180 Owners - Take the Test Ride and If Found Front Disk Travels too Much and Makes "Thud" Noise ,It is NOT a issue of Cone Set(Steering Cone) ,But Due to the above issue I explained(Bold Part).Hope it Helps.

My opinion
Hi,
I finally did my first service and run-in too
today i noticed that after 7000 rpm the engine sound is pretty irritating
What abt urs?.
And abt knocking sound after warm-up (when rpm rises) ur bike and shift that srew (On carb) clockwise till u get it on 1.25-1.5rpm (I prefer 1.25 bcoz it saves feul &and engine sound is also acceptable )
And if it doesnt work go 2 mec and re adjust air&feul intake mixture
hope it works
And btw i was thinking to change tyres and makwheel (hope i spelled right) and get a bigger one
which one do you prefer (lighter,thicker&better gripping)...
Hoping a positive reply ...
Thanks in advance.

My RTR180 Makes a good Grunting Sound(I likes it!) If Taken Above 5.5K.Else ,it is Somewhat Silent.May be Running-in after 2000kms ,This Change Happens?
--
Another Thing during My last 200kms trip I noticed was ,This Bike is better as a City/Street Peformer.If Gone Without any break for some 100-200kms run ,Bike's Characteristics Slightly Change and Refineness will be less.So ,A 15-30 minutes break after a 100kms of travel is more of a necessity for these kind of bikes ,be it RTR or Unicorn ..(But With My Bullet Electra 4s- It was a great experience - simply goes on&on without any change in Engine Smoothenes when no breaks are taken!Wonderful it was!)

Not Again !!!
How to break the needle of the tachometer of ur RTR 180???
1) In a cold morning, check the tachometer needle is in right place or not???

2) Start the bike, and warm-up the engine like hell
for 10-15 seconds...

3)Press the Engine kill Switch, and Voila U can now have the new Speedometer...

(Its gonna be 3rd speedometer for me)
DAMN, 3 IS really everywhere around me!!!

I faced a issue with speedo digi console& tachometer after 2nd Service.After Reaching Home ,and 2 hours later in the evening ,When I checked the speedo(even before key is inserted and in locked position) Digi console has that odo reading ON (just like a digital clock with weak battery renders on LCD) with right side of LCD display only seen.Bike started fine and had a ride without Speedo&tacho working
I took to a local mechanic and they "shaked" the wiring harness hoping some loose connection.But No use!
Later ,When I checked the Tip of key ,there was water.That means water entered through lock hole?
Anyways ,After 1 hour ,Suddenly Speedo console and Tacho started working with blue light again!That Means some 20kms was not noted by Odo meter
I am worried about this issue of Digi Console and Tacho giving up in instances of Water Service.Anyone else faced this issue?
PS:While the Bike was new(2-3 days old) ,I faced issue of LCD console display went off while riding the Bike which they resolved.I had faced this 2 times.Now ,Next Time Give for a Wash Service ,I'll be extra careful.I think the problem is with water entering key hole?Last edited by prakash_mvpa; 11-27-2009, 04:49 PM.
