      That's actually not the tappet noise. It'll come from the place where the spark plug connector connects to the coil wire( i guess that's what you are experiencing, like a 'tik tik kit kit')

          Yeaa.. that spark plug cap(the inner part) wears off for some unknown reason!! There's no proper spark i guess for the same reason ..and hence the petrol visible on the tip.

            Else it might feel weird while driving.
            Me too felt the same... No idea.. mine is zapper 90/90-17 on front and massater 120/80-17 on rear.. rear is awesome. Front is also good but not feel so comfortable..

                exactly. it feels weird, now that i'm already 3k + kms.
                I'm starting to get doubts about alignments nowadays. Anyways due to service soon, will get it checked and see if I have to get used to this or some change is required.

                  Haven't actually noticed?!! Maybe slightly the petrol is leaking? Due to cracks in the rubber adapter? (Jus a guess). It's not rainy season now BTW! Check with some other good mechanic.

                      Can anyone help me solve this oil leak from cylinder head issue,i am sick of going to TVS showrooms time and again. Also a good local mech was not able to solve the issue despite applying some adhesive paste on the heads to stop the leak.

                      also does the engine oil leak when the bike is revved hard?


                      My bike has done 34000 kms change its a 2010 model RTR 180.

                        The sealant you should use is anabond 600

                            Has anyone tried maseteers and ceat tyres on Apache 180?
                            If have then can you give comparison on which one is better in rain as well as normal

                              I have used massatter and using it right now.. but never used ceat tyres.. massatter is good, awesome grip even on wet conditions... Its value for money..[emoji4]

                                After 55000 kms and 2.8 years my battery gave up.. bike is still awesome.. mid range is mad.. replaced the chain with o ring chain and sporkset.. Engine become more smoother as am using motul now.. However have some pulling issues while riding with pillion.. hope its due to heavy rain riding for the last 1 month.. Never spent any penny other than oil change, filter change, tyres, pads and chain. Am daily commuting 80 kms at least at 70 to 80 kmph. Still giving me 40,41 sometimes even 42 kmpl. Also my digital meter is kind of give up as they are not indicating the full numbers. Do i have to replace the entire meter set? The rear brakes dont have the bite as they used to. Bleeding is good, changed pads and still wondering why it lacks the bite.. any idea guys???
