    Yes, I haven't changed the brake fluid. Its only top-up during the services, I guess. BTW, would this air bubble be hazardous?
    Don't take the risk in things as critical as brakes.Get it rectified from the SVC.Completely replace the fluid,the brake fluid absorbs moisture after a certain period of time and becomes less effective.In this way,your both task will be accomplished-air bleeding and brake fluid replacing.

    You can rely on this....

    The AX-7 is just a old wine in a new bottle.
    @Garry:To make it more easier I am attaching a pic here of the good old 'Advance VSX'.Just look out for that '4T' tag there when you buy one.

    A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

              changed spark plug for the first time at 17.4k kms.
              throttle is very crisp now haven't ridden much since change..

              old plug was showing some signs of wear off by missfiring,jerks. and even throttle was not crisp...

                      Yes it will be direct fit, but it will not give you any significant increase over stock. It will feel brighter as it will emit white light but intensity won't be much plus it will be pretty useless in rains.

                        It said it will emit 4300 kelvin while my stock is 3200 kelvin

                        it won't be bright on rain ?

                          The Digital Fuel gauge has been driving me crazy lately.
                          When i fill her up at the pump it shows 3 bars
                          Ride home 2 kms and it shows 2 bars
                          Reach home and idle for 10 seconds in neutral it shows 1 bar.

                          Start the bike the next day it shows 1 bar.
                          Ride around city it jumps back to 3 bar, Stop for 5 mins with ignition off and start again it goes back to 1bar.
                          I mean is there any TVS product that has a "Functional" fuel gauge?

                          My Sis's new Wego also suffers the same fate and ive heard its common with almost All TVS products. Anyone care to confirm?

                            The Apache RTR's fuel gauge works well. Haven't had the problems you've mentioned.
                            I've noted that, if ignition is turned on while bike parked with side stand, the gauge shows more no.of bars than actual.

                            Afaik, this is one of the problems least discussed in this thread.
                            A visit to the SVC might help

                            The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

                              Probably sensor is rusted, get it checked.
                              FYI when taking reading you should put it on main stand then turn on ignition, else it will give absurd readings.

                                Dude,dont worry about the Fuel Bars...you ll eventually get used to it....
                                Thing is,who cares about the Bars,when you have almost 2.4 litres in reserve(>100 Kms in reserve) ...
                                So chill,and ripp it....
                                But,Ye right,in Wego,that would be a problem...
