    Jokes apart it is better to stick with stock, cheap to replace and fix in comparison.



    Nothing to worry about mate, once fixed in place turn the indicators on and see if its flashing, if it is then all is well.

    If it just stays on and doesn't flash then you need to get an electronic flasher which would cost around 120/- and is a direct fit, but chances are you won't need it as the ones that come on TVS motorcycles are electronic by default i.e the flash rate just speeds up with reduced current draw.
    The flasher in our bikes is load dependent, it is not electronic. Electronic flashers have set flashing rate. LED's draw less power, so it'll start flashing fast. To correct this you need the electronic flashers which doesn't depend on load.

    A bit confused here if i need to change the flasher, as I'm currently waiting for my indicators to arrive.
    As mechanics are not quite trustworthy in my area, I wanna be sure what to get done before I approach one for the replacing.
    Please help me out with it.
    If it needs to be replaced then please suggest which one to go for and the price if possible.

    Yes, that is an electronic flasher. Mechanical flashers are load dependent i.e if I swap bulb's for LED's then the relay doesn't flash, the bulb just stays on.

    Chill dude, read this.

    As for the mirror's, pull down the rubber sheath and tighten the 3 screws gently.

    I own a Jan 2018 model A180. ODO reads 3500KM. Recently I took her for a long drive and noticed that due to vibration, one of the mirror slips down and constantly annoys. I had to adjust it on high speeds. Any suggestions ?.

    I followed the run-in rules and started to rev her only after 2K km. But she vibrates like hell @5K RPM and during the speed 65 to 70kmph. I am using Synthetic TVS oil. Till date done three free services. Also need a suggestion for this issue.
    For mirror even ASC fellas will do the adjustment for free of you don't want to experiment on your own. Apache 180 has alot of vibration and in long journeys it is bound to leave your hand numb specially if you do anything close to triple digit speeds or beyond. No matter how much bolt tightening and damping stuff you use. You will never see or feel the issue in routine city traffic as avg speed remains low. But the same is pretty irritating once you are driving on a long open stretch of road. I faced the same and above is my observation.[emoji20]

    No other modifications, just the indicators.
    Thanks a lot for sharing the information
