Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Dude, this SVC has one machine to test ABS and they have been telling me that they will use it one day to test my machine. But, as I don't want to rely on false hopes and words I just go to another SVC some 60 KMs away to deal with ABS related problems. The problem now is that I don't have time and money right now to go to that place. I will sort it out as soon as possible. I don't think sending an email will do anything to improve the situation there. At least they are good with other stuff and diagnosis.

Mail works, trust me. You will be treated like a premium customer

Had anyone used 'eni(agip) i ride fury 10w40' ever & is it fully synthetic?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Hey guys I need a little help. I have this weird issue with the front brake. Since the 2nd free service which was about 1500km ago from now(ODO reads about 35xx), they have completely lost bite. I have to literally squeeze the life out of them to get the bike to stop. I went to a local mechanic and he cleaned the pads which didn't work either. They also have good life left on them. The discs too. The only thing left is the brake fluid and the piston. Could either of these 2 be the issue?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Bleed the brake and things should be fine.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Will I need to replace the brake fluid if I do that? Since it attracts moisture so quickly.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Google how to bleed the brake. Brake Fluid will have to be replaced.

Just replacing Brake Fluid is of no use, when there is air in the brake line. Bleeding is the only option.

Ok. Thanks for the reply.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Hello,
I recieved A180 ABS last monday, filled it with Rs.300 fuel( around 4.5L). Completed 65km, and it's showing just 1 bar. So should I be worried about mileage? And how much mileage can I expect during running-in?

Please go through my signature

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

I couldn't find anything about mileage during running-in period.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Apologies.
During run in you will get less mileage, I never checked mine, but it would be around 30-35

Secondly if you filled 4.5ltr, out of that 2.5 went into reserve and one bar is the rest of the petrol

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

I had done my first run-in on hosur rd and mysore rd @50kmph(Never crossed 58-6kmph). The FE was 56-58 kmpl. Post run-in FE avg. is around 38-46kmpl.
My bore piston kit was changed and the second run-in returned an FE of 48-51 kmpl, complete city riding. Usual speed was less than 50-55 kmph and occasional 80-86kmph dashes.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Hey guys,

Just completed a small milestone of 25000 Kms on my white angel! its been 5 years and 6 months and even though there has been ups and downs through this tenure its been exciting and thrilling nonetheless.

Engine was re- bored 1st at 1034 kms and for the second time @ 18000 kms. clutch plate changed @ 18000.brakes and shocks are still stock. i have most of the given my bike for servicing only at TVS SVC's.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

Met with a accident(behala, Kolkata) today when returning from office.
Riding at 40 45 in city road suddenly the unicorn with a lady pillion (both idiots without helmets) which was slowly moving at left side in front of me took a u turn on right side & I, grabbing the brakes came to a halt thanks to the abs(as there was sand traces on the road). The main twist is the person(shine) riding rash behind me crashed at the rear of my bike and the bike just flew of from between my legs & was skidded few feet with the force due to collision. The end results were I was scratch less but the right side of my bike was covered with uncounted scratches :-
1.The headlight glass was scratched badly on right drl.
2.Bar end weight was twisted so badly that I was unable to twist the throttle.
3.Right leg guard damaged
4.Right footrest broken
5.The chrome on muffler & mufler itself badly scratched.
6.License plate damaged
7.Right front indicator broken.

Waiting for sunlight to check for more damage. Then I somehow managed to reach home(12 kms from there) by keeping my leg at pillion footrest. This incident proves that abs can save you from skidding and avoiding an accident provided that no idiot is following you. Feeling very sad for the bike as I maintain it with all my savings I earn from working 11 12 hrs a day.
