Looks good. As the R15 tires are low profile and the diameter would have decreased, the top speed must have increased a bit. and Speed at each RPM must have taken a toll?

No idea about topspeed..no roads anywhere in the vicinity I can reach even close to top speed.The recorded top speed is just 106kmph.I am yet to test the top end!
Yeah,the gearing seems to be slightly shorter,especially the first gear which was already short.But nothing serious.
I will test and post exactly how much difference.

Re: Apache RTR 180 Bike issue

Hi all,

Just popped in here from the Fiero thread (I own a 9 year old one). Wanted to ask the experts here a quick question...
I'm aware that the ABS on the A180 can be switched on and off. Could someone confirm if the ABS is for both wheels or for only the one upfront?
Thanks in advance.

For both wheels. The ABS wont be effective otherwise.

Ah, yes. That sounds logical. Just wanted to confirm the same. Thanks. If any more relevant info, then please do share.

Congrats on the new beast.

You can get the new "safety" number plates from any number plate sticker center. Ask them for Safety plates. They will get it for you.

Never knew that tyre life depends on availability of rear disc brakes , and lets not discuss "sane" riding (driver is for cars)

And just for your info, I am still running on TVS stock tyres at 35k kms. We all know how long the TVS tyres go and what are its negatives.

Of-course, braking capability will affect tire life to a great extend.
You can check your friends bikes with & without disk brake models

"Driver" .... I am sorry for the "word"

I had used TVS tires only for my old Victor. It was stock tires & I hadn't changed till I sold out (I couldn't remember the mileage)

Some doubt, will ABS come with EBD?
or only ABS?

I think you didn't see the quoted post from Alby.

Anyways, about ABS and EBD. I think they are coupled so that more breaking power is distributed to front than rear to prevent rear tire from locking up. Though coupling them is more efficient on cars, I suspect EBD is employed in ABS system in bikes too.

Anybody here running on 55/60 halogen head lamp on AC setup?
Just found out that we can do it by removing pilot and no plate lamps..no need of dc conversion.
Can Philips Xtreme Power 50/60 fitted in rtr 180?
Also what kind of halogen does rtr run?

Stock RTR 180 has a H4 35W halogen bulb.. You can can replace it with a H4 bulb of any rating BUT just confirm if DC conversion & "relay" is required..

My friend's RTR refresh clocked 50k on stock tires and yes it was without rear disc brakes.
And lets not get into disc brake - tyre life debate. To each his own.

Welding is "always" a temporary solution.
