Hi,

Even I am also getting the same problem. My Apache runs around 5600 kms in 6 months. From starting its giving the same problem.Its not accelerating smoothly, not breathing properly. Performance is very less.180 behaves like 160.Its jerking even after running 1 hr.I went to Meghdooth service, Bangalore. They cleaned the air filter, Carburettor, spark plug.Checked everthing like spark plug cable, spargplug gap and retuned the bike. For next 50 kms nothing has happened. But, after 50 kms it started giving the same problem. I put Motul semi-synthetic 15W50 engine oil.So, Kindly suggest me to resolve this issue.

Thanks
Dinesh

got that.
Starter here means the kick and self both right?

Kick has got rachet mech. M talking about electric starter only.

Dude, I think the engine oil rating is 20W40 for 180 also , Stick to the company recommended oil grade. Might be the problem due to this also. Do check the spark plug condition.

Then why FIERO makes the same noise?
It has no self start.

In my earlier post i said valves and cams cuz when i used to hear that noise, it always used to come from there only.

The engine oil grade is in no way related to the hiccups. Possible reasons for Hiccups:
-Improper Ignition/Timing
-Lean setting in carb
-Spark plug/cable condition
-Dirt in carb

1) certain modification shops or specific paint shops have something called a paint booth. where the air is conditioned. never to let even a spec of dust to enter.. if there is dust and moisture in the air, they tend to settle between the paint and the body of the vehicle.. thus leads to an uneven coat of paint or may even lead to flaking or chipping of paint.. thus overall, ur money goes to the drain.

2) computerised paint booths have a system where the spray quantity and coat depth is measured by a machine.. in normal booths paint is sprayed manually by a hand held device.. purely based on man..
if he has a bad day at home , or if his hands are shivering, he will deposit an uneven coat of paint.. thus spoiling the finish..

3) paint booths are costly.. but the best...

4) dupont paint is a special kind of paint that is opted to painting automobiles parts . they have a special property to last longer under all weather conditions that mother nature throws at ur bike...

5) cons of painting ur rims : when evenever u have a puncture replacing or repairing the tyre will lead to scratches on ur rim. thus spoiling ur coat of paint..

i also feel the golden colour or the specific colour of paint ur opting for is gonna be costly.. well getting the job done is purely upto u...

hope my words are clear to u..

Nops,dude.The engine oil grade is in no way related to the hiccups. Possible reasons for Hiccups:
-Improper Ignition/Timing

The solution is opening up the carb completely and checking individual jets and cleaning them by using air pressure.But then the most important thing is the tuning which takes an extremely experienced person to fiddle with.Even my bike was having the issue initially.During the 2nd service, the senior technician after cleaning the carb tuned in a way which i haven't seen before.He tried different AFR settings and then was revving the bike to 12k rpm to check any presence of detonation/knocking at high rpms.

Hey guys I bought my RTR 180 last week 17th feb and ODO is now at 200 kms

I have two problems

1.I feel wobbling in the rear Wheel sometimes.

2.The rear disc squeaks when i apply brakes hard..

My first service is on 17th March

I have some doubts too

1. My friends apache 180 has now crossed 2000 kms mark and he has to travel 80 Kms everyday.the road he uses is usually empty so he rips the engine at 8~9.5 k rpm for 20 mins or so..will it damage the engine??
