Thane ? Mumbai ? Well there is no one who can do a good job there to be very honest... one has to be on back of SVC guys & only they know about Apache .Comment

The issue was resolved...did some lubrication of throttle cable & its back to normal....Originally posted by susheelkumar View Post
From now on-wards I think its better to lubricate chain as well as throttle cable after each bike wash....

Engine Break In - Apache RTR 180 ABS
Hey guys,
I just joined this awesome forum, I've seen many knowledgeable threads and posts in this forum, I'm amazed by the knowledge you guys possess.
I've been waiting long for my dream beast more than 1 year to get, I'm much happy to say that I'll get him tomorrow 11:00 AM, I'm very exicited moreover little afraid about my new bike which is why I'm writing this thread.
I don't know how to break-in my engine ??? !!!
My friend(He got a beast) told me that Customare care guys at TVS showroom will only say "Don't ride above 60kmph" but I want specifics I wanted to make my beast perfect.
- I really don't want to junk my apache's engine and return 30-35 kmph mileage.
- I need good performance which bike is supposed to give out.
- Long engine life.
What should I keep in mind while I drive within first service or 500 kmph ? What kind of riding schemes/methods do I use ?
Bit about me since I'm new hereLast edited by Albert Paul; 03-27-2013, 02:51 PM.Comment

For the first 0-1000 km dont rip your bike above 55kmph or 4k rpm...Originally posted by Albert Paul View PostHey guys,

- I really don't want to junk my apache's engine and return 30-35 kmph.
- I need good perfomance which bike really intented to give out.
- Long engine life.

Also dont ride with constant rpm or speed for long time...Keep increasing speed, then decrease & keep looping the same....
It helps to set the engine much better...
Also shift gears in proper rpm...I normally shift above 4k rpm, but as yours is new try shifting around 4k rpm & never more than that...
Till the first service is done, dont ever think about mileage part...
Start checking it only after first service...maintain mineral oil for atleast 5000 km...
But I heard that recently the 10w30 grade oil of TVS is semi-synthetic...
Anyway during my time it was mineral oil & I started putting semi synthetic only after 5k km..
Anyway you dont need to worry much about that oil part..I think TVS would have thought about it & so it wont do any harm to your engine..
Ride with proper gears like helmets, gloves & so on....
Last but not least enjoy the ride & love your bike as if its your girlfriend or wife...It will start loving u back...

Yes it will void the guarranty..Originally posted by Albert Paul View Post
Legality part, i dont know much. But I would suggest not to do so as it wont do anything good...the 35w illumination part is almost same as stock halogens & it is also harmful for the opposite side riders...
Also please go through the below link. You will find answers for most of your doubts there.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Prateek, actually I did read your FAQs-RTR owners like 25 times but I need to have a little more info on breaking in of engine, that's why I posted the question, I thought what bad is going to happen but to make sure I'm doing correct on engine breaking because I love my bestOriginally posted by prateek2210 View PostWhy cant people use search feature. Is all the hard-work that I and others did, is just a waste?? I want to keep him in a perfect condition.
I just got my Beast like 3 hours ago and done a 35 km on ODO and I ride the bike like Susheelkumar said(also prateek's tut was a great help, thanks man).
I never accelarated above 50kmph n 4 RPM, all gear shifts are done on 4 RPM.
I got some doubts,
1.) I'm feeling vibes on 2,3 gears on 4 RPM
2.) Engine getting overheated by my first ride(only 15 km), I've checked Engine oil it's filled !!

Thank you guys for your help, I'll be very active here, I'm very much excited and happy Seeya bros
