    sorry didnt get it! btw how many km's have u clocked?
    and engine u cleaned only the head part right ?? what solvent did u use?
    Hey, Sorry its Tappets first of all. And The SVC changed the tappets coz I went to ARE on 16th Oct in Pune & in Finals there was some different noise from my engine & my bike was not going above 58kmph. So while changing tappets the cleaning process was done by SVC.
    BTW I have covered 22500kms.

          Bike India magazine carried DIY for apache 180 covering all basic maintenance incl. oil change in parts for 2 issues.

          Can I upload the pictures here? Won't be any violation by scanning a magazine page and putting here in xBhp?

                  Here it is,the procedure is more or less the same for all bikes..
                  DIY Oil change

                  D.I.Y-Valve clearance setting RTR180
                  D.I.Y-RTR180 brake fluid replacing/brake bleeding
                  D.I.Y-RTR180 brake pad replacing/cleaning
                  Exploded view of Mikuni BS-29 carb

                  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.

                      Thanks Guys!! Unfortunately, I couldn't perform the DIY.
                      Had been trying to remove the nut for nearly half and hour, but couldn't take it out. Took to a local mechanic, He did it in barely 10 minutes and took just Rs, 20!
                      Turns out that the part of nut which gets stuck in a spanner had been totally scratched out, hence I was unable to do it myself. Gonna ask the SVC next time to replace it.
                      But thanks Guys and kudos to You!

                      • Back from a 700 km Coorg Ride! Winding roads, Bad roads, no roads, off roads, straight roads, it had it all... The Motul 7100 10w40 is holding up good and doesnt feel worn out even a bit after the ride (Which Castrol felt after every ride)... Some pics from the ride .
                        .

                            Thanks Bro... I am the photographer (obviously apart from the ones I'm in (wearing a Nero)) Log will come sometime late... This thread needs some positive reviews... All we discuss here are complaints with the bike which will drive away any body who's planning to buy one (like it happened to me, then i realized that every bike has issues ). Hence the pics are here..
