    NGK Iridium Spark Plug : TVS Apache RTR 160 Fi - 550.00Rs

    While in NGK Partfinder for Two Wheelers, they have mentioned

    CR7E CR7EGP CR7EIX
    Which is the actual one I should go for???
    NGK Part finder states "Apache" & not "Apache RTR 160 Fi"...
    Go for the plug planet-DSG mentions..

          @Tribals : 2k kms on free flow and stock re-bored block and a-f-r has gone haywire. No idea how this happened but I rode it for 35kms for normal Sunday g2g (last sunday) and then while coming back it just wont idle, do anything. I had to keep the hand on throttle so that it doesnt give up.

          So that brings my end to RTR, White Devil is on sale now.
          Gud decision. Its better to sell the bike, when it starts showing its grey side. Time for a 390..... enjoy man. Keep visiting this thread.

          Meanwhile, Did a small trip(>400kms) lasting 3 days..... Have run 1200 kms in last 12 days.... Guys the Stock TVS oil is doing wonder in 25-35 degree temp,.(Definitly not for summers.).... Also the milege/lit around 42kmpl. But the rear IRC tires have turned shitty within 25K kms. Wasnt expected from a Rs. 2.8K tire.... (mind you, my front TVS lasted for 48K). Would change the rear to MRF(total vfm) soon.

            Last time I used NGK iridium spark plugs only..but dont remember the version.
            I used it for 13k+ km. Even though you wont feel any exceptional performance hike, you can definetly feel the consistency in long rides...
            I went for constant 100+km/hr speed continously for 1.5 hours & still the idling rpm didnt shoot up unlike the stocks...
            so no more jerks & less vibrations...so i feel its k to go for that extra buck...
            well in planet-dsg online buying will cost me another 200 extra..so i dropped that plan & will goto bangalore S.P road & get it from there...

                    Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

                    Hi,
                    Did my service at 24k yesterday, filled Motul 300v FS, carb cleaned.
                    Ride feedback is,
                    Gear shift becomes stiff as it is FS oil
                    Engine roar was more nice to hear, while revving hard, than before
                    Idle rpm was low, engine shut off while idling.
                    Since this is first time I am using synthetic oil, can some one comment on the idle behaviour of my bike, it occurs even after ride of 30 mins in traffic, it idles at 800 to 1000 rpm, should I continue using it for some kms or report back immediately

                    Thanks
                    Vino

                      FS oil is good for RTR.. The gear shifts will be slightly tight & some times you may get false neutral or gear might slip.. It is a normal behavior when running on FS.. Set the idle to 1000-1200 rpm..
                      Run the bike.. Give the oil few more km & the oil will become proper..
                      Is your bike sluggish as you are using a 15W50 FS oil..??

                          Yes yes... what you said is right. That is the case with a 10W40 F.S as well.. But does your bike accelerate like before or does it have a slight lag..??

                            In terms of riding, didn't notice much difference, I ll comment back after riding more kms.
