Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

I did final sticker job last night. Used reflective stickers. In original design, there was sticker on fairing, I have omitted that. The Current strips are approximately half the width as that of the original plan. One thick strip is on the wind shield (can I call it as wind shield?) in continuations of the the Beast eyes. Small pieces of strips on alloy rim spokes and rear view mirrors too. Have a look.

Thin strips look better to my eyes at least. Retrospectively, the wider ones were too conspicuous/flashy!

Hi,

I own RTR 160 (2013 model) and changed full spocket set in Jan. 2015. I get 55 kmh @ 4k RPM.

So now you are having the same rpm as our 180s.

Any loss in top end performance?
What is the max speed you can manage with this setup?

Rookie joining the rtr tribe

Hello All,

I am new member in this forum. Have been a silent reader for a long time now. I thank all the members of this forum and specially this thread as I gathered a lot of information about motorcycles and apache rtr in general.
Today I became a proud owner of the apache rtr 160, my first motorcycle. I am a novice rider and do not have much experience about motorcycles. Before I rode a pulsar 135 for about 10 Kms and splendour for about 40 kms. I was apprehensive as everybody told me that apache is high revving and pick up is very high, so it will be difficult for a new rider. But after getting delivery I rode for about 3 kms (mostly in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears) and felt comfortable. The power was not overwhelming for me.
I opted for dual disc setup and hope to have a long bonding between me and my bike.

Thanks to everyone of this wonderful forum

I felt some buzzing sensation on the pillion foot pegs, when I was sitting as a pillion and my friend was riding the bike. I felt numbing sensation on my foot. Is it normal for the new rtr?

RTRs are famous for vibration, so yes i guess its normal
Do run in/break in the motor properly.

It's simple. Just make sure the battery water level is between the min and max lines. If particular cell seems low on water, add battery(distilled) water through the top cap and close the cap just as tight as before. Check the levels at regular intervals of one month.
