Start a GPS based tracking software and hand over the phone to your pillion. Tell the pillion to keep an eye on the speedo and remember the highest speed he/she sees while you ride normally (no high speed runs required).Originally posted by shahbaz63 View Post
When you stop, check GPS tracker data for the highest speed reached on the GPS log.
Error % = [(Speedo read / GPS Speed) - 1]* 100
Repeat process for more accuracy.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.

Once i checked with the Videcon phone GPS and found that my bike has costant 10% of speedo error.
On speedo i was on 100 kmph and on GPS its 90 kmph only. I reached 110 on bike speedo and on GPS it was 100.
Videcon Phone GPS is quite accurate.
This Speedo Error also leads to wrong measurement of actual mileage we are getting.
That is, when we have travelled 50 kms on road we have actually travelled 45 kms.
So in my case if by going Speedo measurement my bike is giving 40 kmpl, its actually giving me only 36 kmpl

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
Today I learnt a lesson. The hard way. Just because you have ABS does not mean everybody has it. Met with an accident. Jammed breaks. Came to standstill but the Scooty idiot rammed into me. Slight leg injury. Front suspension is bent. Head light glass is broken. Feeling very bad. Guys do you have any idea how much that would cost to fix on insurance?

Wrong info, Road distance calculated in kilometers aren't by speed guns & I doubt if Speed indicator & distance calculator are dependent ....Originally posted by flyingJian View PostOnce i checked with the Videcon phone GPS and found that my bike has costant 10% of speedo error.

Lets say your bike speedo has a 10% calibration error and you are going at speedo indicated speed of 50 kmph(but actually you are going at 45 kmph). How much distance you will cover in an hour if you ride constantly at the same speed?Originally posted by shahbaz63 View Post

Yes. we are supposed to...but when i talked this thing with SVC guy he said if any problem occurs in the engine during warranty period and if u r using some different oil, then company will get a point for debate.Originally posted by madhav766 View PostAren't we supposed to do mineral oil for the first 5000km.

I got the point and kept mum...
but I personally hate this Tru4 oil..!!
clutch slippage is d severe problem.
when u spot harshness in clutch even after going thru all settings of clutch cable, definitely there is some problem inside...am I right?
