Just start pushing upper button and with each push you will be one hour further. If you will keep pressing the lower button even after the hours start blinking then minutes will start blinking and you can set those also the same way as hours. AM-PM changes after you cross 12 in hour figures. I hope its clear now.

      Bro, i had posted a solution for this issues earlier. Again, i too had similar issue along with my friend's same bike. The solution is very simple. This is caused due to faulty placement of rear disc cable. All you have to do is to detach the cable from the default clamp (on de swing arm) and then tie it with an external strip ( the ones used in malls to tie the carry bag.) that should resolve the issue. If required, i'll post the pic of this alteration on my bike.

      Anyways according to your guidance i changes the cable clamp and have tied them with a external strip.. Now the noise has gone .. Thanks for the help bro.. I guess the default clamp is a bit too tight on the cable..

      BTW do you have the ABS version ?

        Just follow the basic run in procedure of not exceeding 5k rpm mark till 1000kms. Get the oil, oil filter changed at 1000kms. Even after that vary your speed at different rpms. Don't switch oil till 5000kms, change the oil at every 2000kms (if TVS tru4), get the servicing done as mentioned in the manual (do read it when you get it after 6 days). Use the kick start in the morning instead of the self. Don't go for any mods until the warranty is over and you are sure of the use of the mods.
        Rest all good

            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.

                  It happens in summers, it heats up quite fast if we are riding in afternoon, so I usually ride in 4k-5k rpm range

                  Do go to some other svc this time, see what they say.

                    • The throttle is getting stuck & the rpm is automatically increasing after giving a small twist of the throttle, the rpm does not decrease quickly & it gets stuck.Is it a problem with the throttle cable or something is wrong with the carb.

                        How does it feel when you open and then roll off the throttle, is the action smooth/quick or hard/slow? Try it without starting the engine.
                        The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

                          The throttle has become hard & slow, the throttle has no free-ply.The throttle does not roll back freely,it gets stuck at a rpm & sometimes tends to increase instead of decreasing.This problem happened overnight.

                            Replace the throttle cable asap.

                            In this condition it will soon break, then you won't be able ride the bike. Go to the SVC and ask them to check it first. Won't cost you much, will be inside 200INR. After replacing use the throttle with care. The bike will respond much quickly.

                              • Hey guys, there's some tik-tik noise from engine whenever it's in idle. Its frequency increases as the engine is revved. It makes a grrrrrr type noise at hgher RPMs like 5K and above. It most probably is tappet noise. I gave it to SVC to get the tappet checked. The idiotic mechanic at first said there's no noise, all Apaches have that, and that he sets it at every service. That clearly is a lie as when I forced him to check it, he was kind of reluctant and said "Why do you want to try that for such a small issue? There'll be a risk of some other part starting to malfunction in an attempt to correct this. Your bike is great in every other aspect. Why take such a risk?". Look at the confidence of the head mechanic! He doesn't have enough confidence even to set tappets. I can't laugh enough at TVS SVCs. Anyway, later he agreed to check it and asked me to come back after 4 hours as tappet setting needs a cold engine. I went back there and it didn't seem like he even bothered touching my bike. It had got severe amount of dust before I left it there and all those dust particles were intact. There was no sign of even a finger laid on it. Some guy there asked me if my problem was solved. I said no and that it was as bad as before. He asked me if I was facing any problem with the performance. I said no. For that he replied "The valve clearance will be adjusted for mileage or performance. You're hearing that noise as it has been adjusted for performance and it's common to hear it in that case". LOL. I didn't even bother speaking any more and returned. I wasn't charged any amount because I had got it serviced 20 days ago. Now, I'm sure the tappets haven't been touched ever since it left TVS factory. So, I'm thinking of doing it myself using Drifty's awesome guide instead of visiting the state-of-art TVS SVCs. But before that, I need a confirmation if it indeed is tappet noise or not. Please confirm it guys. Also, the ODO is at 5.4k KM and the bike is about 10 months old. Thanks in Advance.
