Re: Help needed
Hi All,
I have an TVS RTR Apache 180 from the past 2.5 years
have clocked 24000 kms and now I am facing the problem of punctures in the rear wheel and the tyre pressure going down rapidly.
I recently fixed 2 punctures still tyre pressure falling rapidly.
Guess its time to change my tires.
Can any one recommend me good tyres ? Last time when i visited my service centre they told me about some new TVS brand tyres costing 5000 for both and the service centre guy told me to change both the tyres at one go rather than just the rear wheel.
Has anyone experience on this new TVS brand tyres ? Should I go for them or some other brand ?
I stay in Bangalore and have heard about JC Road but dont know which tires to go for ?
Thanks in advance

Re: Help needed
Haven't heard of " new" TVS tyres, better not go for it.. You can go for Michelin Pilot Sporty 90/90 17" for front ( Rs1800, max) & 120/80 17" for rear(Rs2800,max)..Originally posted by sujithbvm View PostHi All,

When you enter J.C road,take a left at the first signal( this is AM rd)& after the left turn the second building block to your right has a tyre shop (next to,Bohra auto agency TVS Spares)& this shop is opposite to Castrol lubricants.. This shop's price is really good..Comment

Re: Help needed
Pirelli tyre are soft rubber tyres,which means that the tyre will "stick" to the road,they have excellent road grip. I have not fitted Pirellis but have heard that they don't last long & are expensive..Originally posted by sujithbvm View PostThanks a lot vivekgautams.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
From rtr 180 I am getting lowest I got was 38 and highest I got ever was 44.Mine 27k old.My friend is getting around 47 on 160(new).One thing I noticed that the mileage depends on the condition of the bike to a huge extent.Loose chains and low pressure got me a mileage of 32kmpl once,guess that don't count.Originally posted by broken87 View Post"Vibes transmitted from crank shaft to frame, then through the bearings of the head stock and into the stem where it meets the triple clamp and into the clip-ons where it is greeted with great pleasure by my hands"-ratfighter mod rtrComment

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
@swift
Ride the motorcycle for a while... this will make the drive chain warm making the cleaning process easier. Turn the engine off and park the motorcycle on central stand. Cover the rear alloy wheel and parts close to the chain with newspaper to avoid kerosene spill over them. Use a pair of disposable gloves. With an old tooth brush and some kerosene clean the chain thoroughly. After cleaning is done, wipe off the excess kerosene with a cloth. Wait for a while may be some 20 minutes so that the chain would get dry. Use TVS TruSpray or Motul Chain Lube and lube the chain evenly while rotating the tire with your hand.
Take extreme caution, ensure the engine is off while doing the entire job.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment
