    Sadly our beast's Fuel Indications sucks
    Pop a wheelie.. that should set things. The sensor might have got stuck.. that will shake it.. another thing, the rtr has that issue of reserve coming on earlier than other bikes.. you'll get used to the bikes readings in a while..

      Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

      Got the rear tyre changed last week. Bought MRF Zapper C. I could feel the difference as soon as I applied the rear brake for the first time on the new tyre. I can brake quite confidently without having to worry much about the lock up and it's quite ok wet roads as well. I could ride only around 8KM when it rained so still not completely sure about what it can do on wet roads. All I can say it's much better than the stock TVS tyre in the dry and in the wet. It costed me 2050 RS, bought it at the MRF tyre shop next to Bridgestone TVS, Rajajinagar. Couldn't buy the Zapper Vyde unfortunately. But I'm quite happy with the tyre. Will post the photo soon.

        hey guys

        Yesterday I changed my air filter with that of a gs 150r for a 10 min. ride.
        Differences I felt
        1) Vibes are gone even at higher rpms
        2) Bike is behaving like a Ktm duke (pocket rocket)
        3) Sound had become a little softer

        Q. Should I continue use that paper type filter ??

            We go on long rides BUT we won't be "taken for a ride" .. I payed INR2600 for MRF Revz & INR 2100 for Michelin Pilot Sporty.. I have visited many many shops(including the great J.C road) & double checked on "changemytyres" online.. I have never ever seen a rear TL tyre less than INR2300..

                    Bro, ditch it. A member here, kantu had used it and found that it was damaging the diaphragm. Stick to the stock air filter.

                        It will soon be 1 year since I started riding. Here are some random photos I took over the past 12 months.

                          Good that you stuck to stock size, this must be Dazzler's tyre right? This will anyways be lot better than TVS Srichakras!

                          I got front fork oil changed today, chain and sprocket set replaced, wheel and sprocket bearings cleaned and greased (It badly needed greasing as it was never opened!). I was there the entire time & he does a good job, quick and efficient. I came to know about him only recently, otherwise would have posted earlier. @vivekgauthams & @huntphani, do pay him a visit once.

                            Has anybody come across any incident where your front fork oil seal had broken? My fork's seal was broken in January and forgot to post it here then. I remembered this when I read Adarsh bro's post regarding the oil seal. Anyway, I got it fixed at the ASC that day itself. Are there any specific reasons for a broken seal or it just happens once in a while?

                            PS : I have never tried and probably won't try doing a wheelie.

                              How much time would he take for a complete service..?? Approx.. & does he do repair work, i.e, Engine head work..??

                                AFAIK Shell petrol bunks are open all night.
                                Recently I filled petrol around 11-11.30pm in Shell bunk nearby Value Forum Mall. If you are coming from marathalli go straight after the Koondanahalli signal..After some3kms you will find the bunk on your left side.
                                There is another one past the graphite/ITPL signal.
                                Moreover Shell guyz dont tamper with the petrol readings, so u get what you pay for.
                                Also I have noticed petrol price is less than other bunks. i.e. it was 71.85/litre while other bunks where 40paise+ more.
                                I normally do full tanks so even that small difference will be big.
                                Never goto Indian Oil bunks. They are 24/7 looters. The one Indian Oil bunk nearby bellandur in outer ring road is kind of ok.
                                Also one HP petrol bunk nearby Manipal Hospital in HAL Old Airport road is also fine.
