    Re: TVS Apache RTR 180

    Hello fellow apachians Happy New year!

    My Bike is almost 9 year years old and has done 38000 Kms on odo. except for the vibes i haven't faced any major issue recently and it is always a Blast to ride be it my office commutes or long rides. there is a drawback which are the vibes which are bothersome on long trips but i tend to overlook those vibes as the bike gets my adreline pumping.

    Now i am looking to upgrade to a bigger bike as i have started to tour a bit and i am looking for 2 or cyl bike,but i have no intention of selling my beloved RTR180
    ( was considering the FZ25 for a while but dropped that plan)
    as i am too sentimentally attached to it as i have a lot of memories from my college days and once i get the big bike i can still my RTR for short rides and office commutes.

    Anyway,I was wondering if i can add a FI Kit and a counter balancer to reduce the vibes. is it feasible? has anyone done Carb to Fi Conversation on the RTR180?

    Experts please share your suggestions.

    Pics to follow soon!

    Thanks and cheers!

              Uh.. bro the tyre must be broken in. After few100kms it'll become proper, and reduce the air pressure, for the front it should be 26psi max.

                    How did you checked your mileage? (Mileage differs in city riding and highway)

                      its all city driving. I used to get a FE around 45 kmpl, with speed limits iof 50-60. I could see it went down by 10 kmpl which is massives, i changed the petrol bunks, nothing worked. All these happened after 2nd paid service of the SVC, after they changed the spark plug, spark plug cap, Air filter, as it needs to.be changed for every 12k kms. as per TVS.

                      Have they messed up the carb?? Now i have set it to 2.( 4 half turms)

                          Stock carb setting is 3 +/- 2 full turns. Mine is set at 3.5 turns (bs 3 version). The tuning will vary depending upon engine condition, altitude, humidity, temperature etc.

                          The mileage you are getting is what I have been getting (35 - 37 kmpl), in Bangalore city conditions. Not sure how you got 45 kmpl. Anyways, check the chain tightness, service guys usually tighten it too much. Also, change the petrol pump, maybe the quality of fuel or quantity is incorrect. Keep tire pressure at 25(F) & 28 (R) as mentioned in manual (cold temps). Check for any fuel leaks, and clean the air filter. Keep the chain lubed and clean it every 2-3 weeks depending upon condition. Dry and dirty chain robs a lot of performance too.

                          Don't think too much about the mileage, most of 180 cc and above bikes deliver this kind of mileage esp in city conditions

                            What do you mean by 3.5 turns, 3 full - 360° turns and 1 half - 180° turns..

                                Adjust the AFR SCREW manually, turning by a clockwise rotation will reduce the RPM during the idle.
