Glad to hear the oil leaks stopped. Let's hope it stays that way! I've given mine for rethreading too.

The tacometer stopped working on the way,it does the self check thing,then rests at zero,other than that no issues.
Going to wash+wax tomorrow.
Didn't check exactly but judging from the digital fuel gauge getting a mileage around 50.Expected that!

When you give the bike for re-threading get all 4 bolts re-threaded & new packing / seal..Later it might start leaking & you might have to open the engine again..Get it done once n for all..(Atleast a hope..
)
Actually I meant the Tyre only..Now even alloy...Originally posted by Garry_Menace View PostHe meant the alloy, not tyre How can a tyre get bent and not restore itself back? 
..!! I have the same confusion after hearing,"Tyre is bent" from a tyre repair guy.. " How can a tyre get bent and not restore itself back?" is the exact question still stuck in my head without any answer..

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
It is possible in rare cases. When it's hot and undergoes high torsional strain. But that wouldn't apply here. That is seen mainly in MX bike tries.Originally posted by vivekgautams View PostI think you are right..I'm getting used to the wobble..

LOL, I meant, the repair guy must be trying to tell about alloy bend there. How can one even SAY that the tyre is bent :POriginally posted by vivekgautams View PostActually I meant the Tyre only..Now even alloy.....!!

Alloys do get bent in some cases but not THAT easily. Such things are heard only during big head-on collisions and all *touchwood*Join my facebook Page: Life On 2-Wheels | Blog: Life On 2-Wheels

Hello there people,
I'm a glad new owner, got my bike delivered on Dec-07-2012 and it's about 1400 KM on the Odo, of a beast with ABS. Everything running on stock parts. I think I made a foolish thing though. I didn't wait for the run-in period to end. I took the beast above 100 after crossing the 450 mark on the Odo. I believe there is nothing wrong with the beast but I do feel a lack of 'feel' when doing 80-upper speeds. Mileage is around 40-45 kmpl and I do try to keep the tires in the comfort zone given in the manual, ie., front- 25 and rear- 32 psi. There is a bit, really just a bit, of vibrations when doing 40-60 kmph, but I'm very fine with it as on higher speeds the vibration seems to adjust better.
Sometimes I do get a slipping gear. Is it because there's something wrong with the gear settings? Pardon me for the lack of right terms used, as I've not owned a bike till this one.Last edited by evyavan; 01-21-2013, 11:36 AM.Comment
