You Can replace it, but price depends on the type of Visor you are going to use... & Transparent visor on White bike ... errrrrrrrrrrr No Combination

Devil's Angel a.k.a Beast
Completed 2,000 km on ODO.
Bike Delivered - 13 - June - 2012
Registration Date - 27 - June - 2012
Kilometer's Done - 2033km
Top Speed - 118km
0 to 60 - 5.3 Seconds
Mileage > 42
Servicing Completed - 1
Next Servicing - 2500 km
RedLined RPM- Never
RPM - 8.5-8.7k Max
Mileage Details :-
I Am getting Mileage of 42 (Min.)
Road - 50% Highway & 50% City.
Highway Speed - Between 60-100 (Completely Insane Riding, Ripping (Racing) Throttle Response)
Everyday km's - >75
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always Leading after Traffic Signal or on free highway, Pick Up is simply outstanding, Furious Rush.
Full Marks for Aggression & Throttle Response.
Flickable & awesome mid range torque but after 105km/h you will not be as comfortable as you are on 80s & 90s.
Gear Shifting sometimes Maska Sometime Chaska, Average Shifting of Gears.
Brakes - "ABS" must be in every bike, that's what my Honest Opinion is, Lots of moments to share. Trust on my words its really a worth of paying 8-11k more BLINDLY.
With Disc on both wheel stopping distance will always surprise you.
Free Body Massage (Vibration) though not very much but still you will realize it easily, specially on right foot peg.
Fuel Meter shows different levels, what I Assume is the best way to judge your fuel meter is to keep Bike on Main stand for 1-2 Minutes & Then Switch on Ignition . else after few km's ride it goes high for sometime but yes it do settle down.
Riding Position first week I was bit uncomfortable but now i am almost relaxed when riding my Beast.
Suspensions works fine no much fuss.
Cornering & Handling is fun loving job, And yes its a Bike for Experienced & Professional as well as for amateur.
Query now,
As I have completed 2k now what should be my next step ? what are all the instruction to follow when giving bike for second servicing ?
And my Silencer is making some noise now, like Coin dropping, I have checked it, the Silver Metal which help silencer from getting heated (the one where RTR is written) is loose, anybody what to do ? tried tightening both of the Screws/nut attached but didnt happen seems its already tighten, but that Metal seems to be loose, easily movable . HELP
When the Angels arrive, the devils leave.
What mileage did you get before 1000km ?Comment
-
Not before Runnnin period but before first servicing i used to get around 38-40 (approx) but after 1500 km now i am getting min of 42..
I Remember First Liter of petrol in my bike gave me around 35-36 hardly ... ~Comment

TVS Chain Lubricant is available at every TVS SVCComment

The proper way IMO is to first clean and then lube the drive chain every 500-750kms for best performance as well as chain/sprocket life. The SVC would do this job for you and would charge around 80INR.Originally posted by vivekgautams View PostThe bikes chain is in bad condition this monsoon..Any method of protecting the chain..??Like chain spray or lube...
We can lube it alright at home, but cleaning is a difficult job at-least for me. Putting lube on top of a dirty chain would do no good.
P. S. as shahbaz said, TVS Truspray costing around 295 can be used for lubing.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment

How to clean the dirty chain ..?? use a solvent..??Originally posted by Rtrlover83 View Post
TVS Truspray hardly lasts for 200km in the rain.. It wastes a lot of time & money.. Any alternative..??
Can we spray 2T oil onto the chain instead of diesel..??Originally posted by shiwaan View Post

Do not make this mistake, diesel or 2T oil does not have to ability to remove the dirt/mud present within the Joints, all it can do is to remove the dirt from the top layer (as shown in the above pic) and settle the dirt within the thin joints, it cannot penetrate and pull out the dirt throughout. Apparantly your chain will look clean, but really it isn't. Think logically the chain is not covered with a mask to ensure the entry of foreign particles is blocked. Its a open chain, anything may stick to the chain and we need a suitable aerosol to pull out all dirt from the chain completely.Originally posted by vivekgautams View Post
Thats why showroom guys have an aerosol spray and if you are smart enough get the TVS chain cleaner spray from showroom, its the most cheapest and the best value for money than Motul etc.
For lubing the best one is Yamalube, its about 220rs here in Chennai for 500ML, its the most durable I have seen, better than costly brands. If you continue to use Diesel or any other oil to clean, then soon you will lose the slackness with performance/mileage downfall, finally endup spending on a new set of chain/sprocketComment
his is a black one.
