@mirhawk
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?

D.I.Y ON OIL CHANGE FOR APACHE RTR

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..

You need a 17mm socket wrench for removing the engine oil drain bolt.Any other open-end or ring spanner can slip and damage the bolt as it was in your case.The engine oil change is best left for the roadside mechs as the charge is very minimal.
@Utkarsh:Thanks for the DIY.
