No idea on that yaar. or maybe they dont want to share too much details..But whatever, I sense this by the end of this year or starting of next year.

I highly doubt it, no offence.
An ECU of a yet to be released bike in the hands of a simple mechanic is not a normal thing.
Does your friend mean to say that a 200cc apache's ECU was used on the 160 model?
If yes, is it possible for your friend to check the ECU and try to find some part number or something on it and verify if it is really a new one or a different one.

Hi guys,my bike's hiccup is back again While accelerating,the bike feels like it has ran out of petrol.Earlier,the TVS mechanic adjusted the TPS and it was all fine.But after filling up fuel at a pump,it has reoccured.
Is it the TPS problem or anything else?

He is not a normal mechanic. He is the head mechanic in that SVC. Also I had told that my friend knows him very well and thats the only reason he shared this info with him.

Yes thats what I understood by talking with him.
He had an issue with his bike. SO they had to cross check if the ECU is the culprit or something else. For that they used this and my friend came to know about this only after enquiring with him after he sensed some difference in the way it roared.

I dont think he can do that.
The SVC is not supposed to reveal those stuffs because that will effect their licence.

I sense it is the TPS issue again. Pay a visit to SVC.

Thanks for the reply Should i change the TPS or get it adjusted?

@susheelkumar
kool, if its true them its a real good news, it would be nice if A200 can compete with P200NS. The customer is the ultimate winner

P.S. use the multi quote button instead of posting back to back.

Me too facing the same problem again,the familiar hiccups at the lower rpms are back again.Time to change the TPS!.For a rough guess to know if the TPS is faulty,ride the bike at a constant speed(between 2k-3k rpm).At this point,if the bike gives hiccups as if its running out of fuel,the TPS is at fault.But I would first recommend to get the carb jets cleaned.Same thing(hiccups) happens if the pilot jet is clogged.

If its a repeated incident, change it. Anyway cross-check with SVC on the same.

The existing A180 can compete with P180 & old P200, though might fall short on with P200-NS.
So if A200 Fi launches forget the 200cc segment bikes as they might be just darts on Rear view mirror, then our targets will be competing with 220cc segment.
I know I'm exaggerating a bit but its ok to hope for that level of performance because TVS have taken so much time for their R&D. So lets hope they will as always come up with some damn Ready To Kill machine.

newbie question...whats TPS stand for?

If at all Apache RTR 200-Fi is a go by TVS, i really would like to have it this way:

Kerb weight restricted to a max 139kg

22 Bhp at the rear wheel, what? yup
Oil cooler
6-speed box
Smoother performance between 4.5-6.0K engine rpm

Mono shock rear suspension

Split seats. But the pillion should have comfort

Same handle bar position. But rider foot pegs be raised and set backwards wee bit more

The chassis tweaked to handle the additional power

Price OTR 95K

Guys, what say?

Dude,which mech you took your bike to??Take is to sushil motor,it will be solved right away... No need to change the TPS,if aint that neccesary.
After riding for around 10K kms(22K - 33K kms) with hiccups,that guy adjusted the old TPS such that,My bike is accelarating butter smooth now...its been 1.5K kms now,hiccups arent back.... and dont forget 2 tip him 20/30 Rs extra..

Throttle position sensor

+1 for that. 22Bhp is a possibility.

+1 for that
Hey bribing the person or what!!

er.....wats TPS btw ?

Hola People!! My Bike is completing one year in a few days and would like to do something special for the Bike!! Hence I have decided to go for Rim paint as in Prateek's photo and carbon stickering as in Nisnth's photo!! Am just loving the combination!
So could You people, specially Prateek and Nisnth, provide Me the details for doing so?
I have already inquired too, My Friend,who does such art works on bike, says that I would require to remove the Rim's for that as He will dip the Rim's in paint. He says that Spray paint will get eventually rubbed of, to which I some what agree. So is it safe to dip the entire Rim in paint?
Also, to add a twist, I have decided to add a hint of glow in the dark color to the Rim paint. But the issue is, I'm unable to get the name for such paint. If someone could mention the name?
Here is an an Video from which I got inspired from for the glow color, Black Eyed Peas- I Got a Feeling



Also, since I'm completing the last free servicing now, any special things I need to get checked of from SVC?
