    Has any of you changed tyre valve set for apache? How much does it cost normally?
    maximum 50 rupees
    you can get it and fixed even in tyre changing shops.

    hope there is no other crack or some other issues with the alloy wheel

        Ashwanth and ajextreme thank you so much for your inputs.

        Ashwanth- I don't recall working on the starter motor or the magneto.svc might have worked on it.ill check with them next week.
        Ajextreme-Please let me know if you know a good mechanic in bangalore.

        Also will it help if I sit in the service station and personally oversee what repairs are being carried out?also what bill am I looking at to get these things rectified.

              Its better to change the cracked rubber. The AF mixture might start to leak out of the cracks. You will find a drop in FE if the cracks are deep.
              I got mine changed after 5 years of ownership.

                Yes get it replaced. No it is not rethe carb diaphragm. It will be inside the carb and not visible.

                  Does anyone have an idea when the updated RTR 180 will launch or if it is even being considered?. This is the only link which shows up on a google search: https://www.motorbeam.com/2016/01/bi...oming-to-expo/. Its more than a year old and I wonder if its true. Planning to buy a new bike in the coming months and wondering if should wait for the updated model. TVS seems to be taking their own sweet time in launching a refreshed 180/160 . I guess it might be due to them focusing more on the 200 and the soon to be launched 310.

                      Just a suggestion, if you keep waiting for new bikes, the wait will be eternal.

                          The current model is quite outdated, being a premium 160cc segment bike today's expectation is quite different, which other makers are offering(like Hornet 160).

                          No for other makers as I'm fan of RTR.

                          After getting hands on new bike, and justs couple of months later when new model is out with great looks, it is very painful.

                            Hi,
                            I have a 2 month old Apache 160 new model. 950kms on the ODO.
                            It has started blowing the electrical fuse in the last 10 days. I change the fuse, the bike runs for a day at most ; and the fuse is blown the next day.
                            I took it to the service center twice, but they just change the fuse saying that the connection was loose. But it happened again yesterday.
                            I have changed 5 fuses in the last 10 days. My bike is a stock one with no modifications whatsoever.
                            Any ideas about what could be the reason? What is causing this? Would appreciate any insights. Thanks.

                              That will happen, it cant be stopped. I would say, if you have money then get the bike. Its just like mobile, you will never know what will happen next.

                              Ask the service centre to check how much voltage the battery is giving as output, then get the wiring checked.
