Actually I don't know when did I checked it earlier, but I had 69kmph@5000RPM in my mind. But some days ago, I saw it showing 71 but ignored it. Now, someone posted 71 here so I guess I wasn't wrong in reading 71 @ 5K exactly.Originally posted by sambit View PostDoes it?? wow I have been riding it for so long,but never made it over 67 kmph...is my bike exceptional??

Mine is showing 65kmph... tyre pressure is correct, petrol is good, chain is good...
AFAIK no one mentioned 71kmph... drifty said 67 kmph is fine... i dont know whats the problem with my bike

Update from me
Checked it today morning.
Getting speeds of 55km/hr@4000rpm and 69km/hr@5000rpm, both on top gear.
Tire pressures just before riding:
25psi front and 28psi rear
Bike's weight is a little less.
Saree guard has been removed (But will put it back soon)
Joel's tuned free flow exhaust is in use. It's lighter. So these might be the reason for a slight increase i'am getting at 5K rpm. Don't know.
I weigh 63kgs
The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

My bike is just 1,300Kms old. I get speeds of 66kmph @5000 Rpm(In 5th Gear). Proper Tyre pressure and everything.A new Day, a new Journey, a new Story!

Because it will someday help you determine your clutch health.Originally posted by nisnth View PostAila.. now why did everyone get obsessed with what speed the bike does at 5K rpm... Enjoy the ride people... Concentrate on the road not speedo guys!
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

My bike's clutch plates need a change too after 21K of touring
I was speaking of guys who have done hardly 2K kms and getting worried.

Hey thanks buddy... Will try 7100 after 500kms and let you know. and do you know the reason why handlebar shakes when we leave both the hands and ride.....i mean my bike has that problem , it shakes as if its out of control. Tried tightening the fork but still the same problem and under heavy braking there is a sound(khaat)..Originally posted by cs1183 View Postmotul 300v doesn't go well with rtrs. It has a strange evaporating problem.
Use semi-synth Motul 5100 or if you want a fully synth then go for motul 7100
OK
