    For front look for MRF Zapper FS 90/90 17'' or MRF Zapper FY 80/90 17''.
    For rear MRF Zapper C 110/80 17''.
    Yup there's not much of a difference though will use this oil for the next 1.5 k atleast and then will shift to Petronas *forgot name*

    Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

      I have done 22500Km in my A180, i want to change my rear tubeless tire...can any one suggest me any good branded tires with more grip and long durable one.

      Early suggestion would be appreciable.

      Thanks,
      Raghavendra
      I would suggest you the IRC rubber.Earlier,I had heard a lot that IRC tires' grip on wet surface is bad.I have nearly done 2000km with these tires.Grip on dry is awesome and sticky.Grip on wet,not at all bad..I have ridden through these terrains now in wet-hills,concrete,muddy,slippery ramps but haven't for once yet faced any scary feel that TVS tires used to give...
      If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

      • Touched 131 on speedo today , fell short of road as it was a traffic signal even on NH-1 It was going good and it would surely have gone for more. Anyways, felt frustrated like anything when I found the HI Spd reading as 160 again because I wanted a pic of that 131 as it was the first time on my own bike

        And, @Chicane and LijoK bro
        Now, you dare to call my babe unhealthy(badly tuned/maintained) again

        EDIT: P.S. I fiddled with the AFR screw some time back and was thinking that it is not as it should be coz of the vibes. But happy now But still vibes are there in quite considerable amount, need to sort it out.

            Welcome bro You would never regret for the decision you've made as I've come to know from my experience with the Racing Throttle Response 180
            Take extreme care during the run in period of 1000kms (Max speed 50kms/hr and and keep the revs below 4k coupled with gradual throttle operation). Also vary the engine speed at times.
            The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

                • Got 54 KPL

                  I recently got my tyres replaced to zappers to cope with the monsoons here and the tyre walla filled excess air with his inaccurate equipment. when i asked he said it would lose air and become normal. i made a mental note to adjust the pressure as soon as i could but forgot and rode for a week. When i calculated the FE i got %$kpl. but i realised that may be the tyre pressure may be a bit high. so when i visited a petrol pump with accurate metering device it showed 45 psi in front and 54 psi in rear.
                  Now i am back to 25-32 but now i hope everybody who keeps asking how to increase mileage knows the answer

                      I usually ride on highways and city roads. used too feel rough patches rarely and even then thought that would lower the suspension setting. but now i realize the stock setting is good for roads i ride on with the recommended pressure. this is also a lesson in humility for me....but 54 kpl....
