Got a new nut from a mechanic.Originally posted by albyjose View PostWobbling problem is sometimes present in my bike too,but it vanishes when proper pressure air is kept in tires.
RTR vibration
:Lost the screw of heat shield.Where can I get a new one?
Did everything to make the projector set up work.Now light is there,still less than that of my splendor.Problem lies with the projector itself,as there is some damage(somebody dropped it during installation)
Going to swap head with duke most probably and use stock lights for time being.
Any one knows from where to source custom headlights like the ones you see on dirt track/stunt modified bikes?

Any white smoke coming from exhaust as you ride or revv up ?Originally posted by adityajohanan View Post
Or do you have a leaking head gasket or drain bolt is not properly fixed ? Check these out. Burning out oil and that too in this less kms seem's very unnatural.
Cheers

No white smoke, no leaking, nothing. Burning meaning the oil has turned blackish and the gear shifts have turned rough.Originally posted by krish2778 View Post
The level of is the same.Comment

[QUOTE=prateek2210;927220]You already answered to your question

If you've clocked more than 7000kms - Motul 3100 Gold 10W30, Shell Advance AX7 10W40. Both are semi-synthetic engine oils costing approx. 350 INR and nicely holds till around 2500kms/3-4 months.
Motul 5100 ester 4T (SS) is much better and will hold even longer (around 5000kms), but is not available in W30, W40 grades.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment

Go for Shell Advance Ultra 10W40 FS oil it will easily last 6-8k km & its more "value for money" than Motul, everything else is the same..Originally posted by adityajohanan View PostComment

Ok. Will do that. I'll have my smoothness for atleast 3k kms right ?Originally posted by vivekgautams View PostComment

I too have used the Shell Advance Ultra 10W40. Must say it's a very good FS engine oil at 750 INR. But, noticed drop in oil level at alarming rates. Had to buy a spare bottle for top ups. So wasn't easy on my pocket (Drifty bro too have experienced this with the Ultra).
Using Advance AX7 now. Peace of mind, assured.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment

The smoothness will run for atleast 5-6k km, after which it will run like a new liter of TVS oil(well,almostOriginally posted by adityajohanan View Post
).. So, you can do 6+2k km on that oil..!!
My bike had a major oil leak from the engine head but the oil lasted for ~8k km, BUT, yes, the oil level had dropped down to 400ml & oil was changed asap..Originally posted by Rtrlover83 View PostComment

All the bestOriginally posted by prateek2210 View PostFingers crossed, hope my crush comes to know about my feelings soon
Motul, renowned in its class, you can try Valvoline, and if you can find Petronas
On Topic: I had thought of using Motul 5100, but it is not available in xW40 currently. The 2013 batch of Motul seems to be bringing back the 5100 in 10W40.
Will definitely conisder it...Originally posted by Krish1417 View Post
I'd love to use it but the oil level drop problem scares me...Originally posted by Iceman_1 View Post
