    Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

    Wow.

    Amazing pics [MENTION=52506]vishnu.leo[/MENTION]
    I have my eye on the Leo Vince Cobra of yours
    Looks beautiful! I can only imagine the Brutal sound it could be giving, given the Engine it's connected to

    Btw. Considering The Michelin Sporty, isn't it 10mm wider than the stock? How has the tire been so far?

    Btw do you suggest HIDs? The main reason I want to go for them is so that they'll match the DRLs [emoji14]
    Of course not forgetting the brightness increase too...

        Yes you can get the services done at any authorised TVS service centre because it's supported by TVS. Just find a good one.

          Yes 180 ABS is awesome, vibrations also less compared to 160 and ABS is an important feature. But I hate the service center, I guess i got a lemon bike.

          Anyone from Bangalore can tell which TVS service center is best?

                Yes. Thats the stock piping with a custom stainless steel adapter welded onto the end. would be replacing it with a full system pipe soon. (its in transit)

                Sound is good i guess. Lower rpms are comparatively silent so i can sort of sneak past the neighbours and cops higher rpms do give a bit of growl to it.

                coming to the michelin , the 10mm increase has created a small tendency to corner more quickly because if the rounded profile it has now. keeping the psi down by 1-2 (25f/28r) thats taken care off. The tyre is not as sticky as its sibling the pilot street, yet its a lot better than the stock srichakras. once they warm up enough you can take a corner easily with confidence.

                HIDs 😝 actually i used to run projectors in mine, but now back to halogens *long story*. i suggest go for a better bulb instead of an hid. even if you are going for one get a projector. and a good branded one at that.

                  How's the performance of this exhaust ? I have heard that this shoots out flames on high revs with ease ! A review on the exhaust would be great.

                    Well i've changed the whole exhaust, i had the pipe made according to the calculation given to me by devraj( a member and a good friend of mine)
                    The pipe is almost close to stock with minor tweaks.
                    The exhaust doesnt misfire/shoot out flame, its all about tuning and proper pipe and it wont misfire
                    The overall feel is good, the throttle is more responsive than before and i feel a bit more punch at top end.
                    P.S - dont mind the long post

                          You can ride such distances. Maintain speed below 50kmph and don't accelerate and brake quick and hard.

                              You're welcome. I just completed my run in and second service. Also I suggest you to change gears often during riding for first 1000km. Don't revv hard until the bike reaches at least some 500 odd km. Control the urge

                              Also ride safe with proper protection and dont do rash riding at any stage.

                                So you did get the ABS over the NS I see , welcome to the Hood brother!!
                                And more than speed, keep the RPM in check. never over 5. and you got the black? IN HYDERABAD?
                                It took the peeps 2 months to get me my ABS and it was white, not the black i wanted!
