Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
Vibrations or no vibrations, but it is a hoot to ride. Although I am still in run in, but still I can feel the quick acceleration.

It is not working on any rocket science as per my experience.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
You can take it up to 70-80 once a week after your 1st service. It will be a good workout for the engine & u will know how the bike reacts at that speed.Originally posted by andy0104 View PostHey guys,
Hope you are all doing well. My bike is going strong. Some points I want to share with you all.
1. I now shift up @4k rpm. And downshift @3k-2k rpm. The upshifts are smooth and the downshifts have become smooth as well.
2. After riding the bike for 20 mins, I can feel the engine heat a lot. Will it go down with time or am I doing something wrong here.
3. Although the mentioned speed in the manual is 50 km/h for 1500 kms, but I have taken my bike to 57 km/h in 5th gear gradually for a few secs and come down to below 50.
I have noticed that earlier the engine used to scream like its going to explode anywhere near 3.5k rpm. But now the screaming sound has lessoned a bit and now it revvs upto 4k rpm easily.
P.S. My beast

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
I have completed around 300 kms so far, as I get to ride only during the weekends. And since I haven't got my number yet from the RTOOriginally posted by Mr_Many_Places View Post
, I am not able to take it out for long rides. My 1st service is due next week. Hopefully will get the number in a couple of weeks time. Then I can take it on a few highway rides to stretch it's legs.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
andy, you're over-thinking. just ride.
there's very little you can do within your fear envelope that will destroy your bike. except maybe something stupid like ride at 3000 rpm in 1st gear for a few clicks...Comment

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
My bike wobbles a bit when i make a turn / cornering. This wobble feeling increases when I have a pillion rider. I took my bike to Service Centre and they confirmed that cone sets, fork and shocks are fine. I was wondering what else could be the issue. Now I want to check the rear wheel as well, though I am not sure what to check in rear wheel, suggestions??
I suspect "wheel alignment" since the wobbling increases while making a turn. Where can we do the wheel alignment for two wheelers? (particularly in Bangalore).Comment

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180
Guys!!
Today I had a heart in the mouth moment on my RTR. It has been raining cats and dogs here in my location. Got a breather in the afternoon. So, took my bike out for a ride. In some places the roads are filled with water. So, I was going through one such road in 1st gear about 8-10 Km/h and I just felt gravel underneath and my rear tyre sliding out!!
Although I was in my riding gear but still that was really scary. I could literally feel like the bike sliding out and no grip what so ever
Have heard so much about the wet grip of TVS tyres. Now felt it first hand.
Is this the case with all tyres in gravel and water or just specific to TVS tyres only?Last edited by andy0104; 07-25-2015, 08:14 PM.Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly. ~Author UnknownComment
