  • It is 1000ml for our ride. You need to top it up. Air box comes as a set along with air filter. Would cost approx 750 INR. Clutch lever gone? Did not understand... or is it the cable? (130 INR) It is recommended to use choke during cold starts. Choke cable cost 85 INR.
    The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

      Would like to know more about the choices for bulbs and projector set up etc. I hope someone will point me towards the right choices.

      Also if it is a paid service or whatever why would the SVC people would change anything without us knowing about it?

        Regarding bulbs refer to my signature

        Coming to change anything in paid service, generally they call the customer to let them know what they are changing,atleast my last svc used to do it

              I had never used choke since last 3.5 years and 43000kms, it was stuck and was the cause of jerking. Hence my mech removed it. He told, "You arent going to use it for the next 3 years as well" .
              My bike still starts with 1 crank/kick.

                Daytona : Still no news of launch and expected price 8lacs OTR... I wish I could get the best inline3 that took WSBK by storm leaving behind the famous R6
                GT650R : Would love to own one due to its 'new' looks, but would wait for some more good reviews.
                Green : Naaah, not my style at all
                Have ridden my friend's CBR600RR (07 Model) extensively, something that powerful is what attracts me. (Yes , I might get a second hand supersports)

                Choke is used in bikes to regulate the air-fuel mixture during startup specially when its cold. It starts with a rich mixture gradually making it to an optimum mixture. If you dont use it, its good, but make sure that it works when required

                      • ^^ When engine is cold:

                        . Pull choke lever towards you and start the engine (i do this). Let the engine to idle in choke applied condition with no/very less opening of throttle (not able to do this part as the engine shuts off, so i just keep the engine to idle for a minute without choke).

                        . Once engine is warm, release choke lever to its original position.

                          • What was the previous owner trying to do with those many holes?? May be sound. Change it asap as more dirt will enter in the box
                            Whats wrong with the clutch lever, is it bent??

                              Yes,sound was the reason I think.You think those tapes will do any good?
                              Can't pull the clutch straight,have to pull it downwards a little.Fine to ride,but can't find neutral easily.

                                Have you tried tightening the screw on the clutch lever..??Some time it gets loose & the lever starts to bend down..
                                The neutral may be due to engine oil condition..
