Guys, I am planning to book a Apache 180 ABS. Is there any new model of Apache coming in the next few months? If yes, I could go for that since I can wait for a couple of months.Comment

No, there is no news from the TVS that it will be coming up with a new version of the Apache, at least not till the next year. Probably there will be new gearless variants.Originally posted by prateekm View Post
You can go ahead with your Apache RTR 180 ABS.

For Apache RTR 180, stick to the W40 grade. Mineral Oils generally come in 20W40 grade. Motul 3000 4T Plus 20w40, Shell Advance AX5 20w40 would be very nice choices.Originally posted by rajeshmushtang View Postdude help me na want some help in this
After clocking 7000 kms on minerals (which is a good thing), I now use Shell Advance AX7 10w40 semi-synth.
Going to try Motul 5100 ester 10w40 (which i think is the best semi-synth) from next periodic service onwards

That s what i want to check out , it says these are all available in all rtr s after air scoops models came out , and the bike in pic is not ABS(i mean to say not DC bike) so i guess tvs guys will only do ac dc conversion, instead of after market accessories , could go for these , and the costs seems to be same . Need to check with some bangalore dealers.Originally posted by Rtrlover83 View PostThe goodies are amazing, and best thing is we the existing owners, could install it too ...site:xbhp.com keyword -> Google this to dig up stuff in xbhp fasterComment

these accesories are NOT from TVS...
these are mods that can be done locally.
the projector is a simple retrofit projector.
and that silencer is available locally for 2000 rupees. (it is NOT a tuned FFE)

Did you guys observe the split seat, i didnt know it was available in the apache series...Apache 180Comment

if you ask me... i think this is just a dealer who's added on these parts in order to sell the bike at a premium.

does this look like a TVS idea?
[IMG]http://**********.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/TVS-Apache-Racing-DNA-Edition-Review-by-Rajkumar-**********-2.jpg[/IMG]
look at the quality of the weld on the exhaust pipe.
and that's a seriously oversize tyre for that rim.
not something that TVS would opt for.

Looking for chain sprays!
Guys...can anyone let me know where to get the chain sprays (motul or any other suggestions?) and chain lubes in Bangalore?
heard motul chain lube is too sticky and TVS ones are best suited for RTR...but when i checked at my SVC (HSR)...they did not have it...
chain has got really dirty and started becoming little noisy in this monsoon!..It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed :)
