    Just kidding guys... its time for me to change that cable, it get pulled when turning to either extremes...
    Auto Throttle is a device which automatically gets activated and varies the input instantaneously according to the amount of pressure applied on the 'brakes'. Cool, isnt it!!

          I particularly remember that "Auto horn" thingy, coz I was reviewing the bike before I decided to buy, and after reading that "special feature" I was like !!! Only later did I realize that every bike has its own set of small issues

            Auto horn just like pulsar 's self cancelling indicators,
            it will activate itself when steering left/right isnt it ?

              Yeah... it was due to a short circuit at the location where the wires to the horn leaves the main wiring harness. Took a long time to figure it out... :P And finally fixed with just an inch of insulation tape

                • Getting RTR 180 ABS delivered today!

                  My wait for a ride with additional safety is over! Am not sure if I should start a new thread; Since it is basically the same 180 with ABS as additional feature, I guess we can discuss about 180 ABS in this same thread. What say guys?

                  The dealer informed me that it will be mentioned as TVS Apache RTR 180 in the RC smart card, not as TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS. Do you guys think it would be a problem?

                        More than a Ride report, we need a "Brake" Report !!

                          • hi this is srikrishna..am a college student in chennai doing my 2nd year,, i own a gs 150r and i want to buy a apache rtr abs...
                            i am around 100 kgs and 5 feet 8 inches tall..will this bike suit me??
                            what would be the mileage expected if i do the run in properly and do not cross 4 rpm and shift gears softly!
                            Biking is in my Blood!!

                              Don't expect the gears to be shifted as 'softly' as the GS150.In sane riding,you can get a mileage of around 40-42 kmpl.

                              A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                                I agree, It should be the brake report! Well, planning to write a quick report with some pics tomorrow. Meanwhile, damn I have to keep it below 50 kmph and 4K rpm! How did you guys do it? Soooo tempting to wring the throttle! But, am not going to.
