Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
Havent tried any control oils. Shell ax7 and ultra are awesome. Ultra is FS, hence costlier. Ax7 does a good job too.Originally posted by Devesh View Post

Use Shell Advance AX5 10w40 premium mineral oil till 5000kms (replace every 3 months/2500kms along with oil filter).Originally posted by Devesh View Post
Post 5000kms, shift to AX7 10w40 semi-synthetic oil. Till the warranty is over try changing oil at SVC itself even if oil is of your choice.Last edited by Rtrlover83; 12-09-2012, 11:21 PM.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment

As Shaby said, Shell Advance Ultra is a superb Full Synthetic engine oil. But, one has to wait at least till 7000kms before trying as it is a FS engine oil.
P. S. This oil's level will drop a little faster so frequent checks and required top ups are a must. There should always be a spare bottle at your home (won't be that easy on the wallet for many).

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
Isn't ax5 a mineral oil? TVS tru4 oil is a SS oil. Why would you downgrade to mineral when TVS is itself telling you to use SS from the word go?Originally posted by Rtrlover83 View Post

Hi guys,
I have a query or issue to discuss here. Hope you guys can help.
I own a TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS which I bought last month. Received the delivery on 31st October. The first servicing is done.
Whenever I ride the bike, there is some krr sound from the front. It comes when the bike vibrates, and sounds like some part is loose. I took the bike to the service center and they said it is the fairing and suggested that they tightened it. However, the sound is still there I am new to Apache, so I am wondering if the sound should be there? If not, what can be the possible reason? I have been hearing this sound since the first week.
Also, another question I have is that when I ride above 60kmph, the moment I release the accelerator or reduce the acceleration to reduce the speed, there is a kach sound at the bottom, which is more like the sound that comes when the bike goes through a pot hole. I informed the service center about this too but just like any service center, they did not fix the problem.- ManshaComment

I haven't used the AX5, but have heard nice reviews of the same. One for example is from Abhii46 an xBhp member and an RTR180 owner. He is an avid tourer. Go through his travelouge just to get an idea.Originally posted by madhav766 View PostIsn't ax5 a mineral oil? TVS tru4 oil is a SS oil.

AX5 will not become watery like Tru4 premium under high temps. I have seen this watery state once while draining it out from my bike at a local garage after some riding. The Mech instantly pointed out the fact (this particular oil was used for less than 1500km at the time it was changed).
Thing is, one need to stick with Tru4 or whatever oil the SVC provides to keep warranty. But some SVC's do accept and use the oil of our choice. But for this we have to be there on service day or some how make sure that they actaully use our oil (Shell Advance AX5 till 5000kms, then AX7).
I'am not saying Tru4 is not good, it is a quality product and is more than sufficient for daily commutes and is sort of OK for touring too. But, there are much better oils out there.Last edited by Rtrlover83; 12-10-2012, 05:05 PM.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.Comment
