I only paid 45 bucks for it.Its not a damper.
The tappet noise wont go completely,it will persist little bit.

OK.Switched to Shell Advance VSX Semi synthetic oil 10W40 today.MRP Rs.285/-.Now,the packing of this oil has changed along with the nomenclature,its Shell Advance 4T AX-7 10W40.

Changed the oil filter too,costed 40 bucks.

guys the RTR 180 is only supposed to vibrate at 6-70 right? my bike's vibration starts from 45 and goes on and on and on and on.....there are vibes even at 90-100.is this normal????

today after completeing a 25kms trip some trrrr trrrrrrr sound was coming from the engine the tappet sound is this normal???

before 60kmph it vibrates like hell but after 60-70kmph RTR180 gets smoother..there must be something loose in your bike..get it checked & tightened..

The vibes on the bike can of way too many reasons. Let me have a look at the bike and then list out the observations.

Guys, I have almost decided on buying an Apache 180RTR. But confusion on wether to go for the ABS one or the one without ABS. Are there any other differences other than the ABS on both these versions?

**naveen2cool** · 06-06-2011, 07:27 PM

bringing back the original white color???

Hi All,

My White Menace is around one and a half year old. Yesterday I parked it in a Mall and when I came back I saw a new white RTR parked along side. It was so white-er and my bike looked so dull

I never had a teflon coating on my bike, just used to put some wax polish on it now and then.

Now I want to bring back the original white color of my bike! Will teflon coating help? Please help me out guys

Apache RTR 180 ABS is all DC,so it will be easier for you to install HID and stuff!
go for it!

**Mirhawk** · 06-06-2011, 08:40 PM

Cool Thanks Haxor. Made up my mind on the A180ABS. Only thing left is to manage my finances now. I have been quoted 91,177 Rs. Onroad. Teflon coating and other things extra. I've had a test drive of the A180 in the evening. Liked the responsive engine and the build quality. Felt some vibes after 4000 rpm but ran out of road before I could sustain that rpm to confirm how bad the issue is. But felt that the vibes were manageable. Gearbox was smooth as well. I've asked for a white colored one. Have been informed that they'd be getting a new shipment within a week. Asked them to check if I could get it by Saturday cos I'd have two full days to enjoy the bike before starting the daily grind. Have been mailing Joel as well. Since I am upgrading from a Discover 125, I'd like to check the full power of this machine before pimping it up.
