    Holy !!! 93 K ? It was something like 87K for me !!! 6K difference? Can that happen?
    When I Ride my bike I don't feel like a common man.
    I feel special.
    I feel something which is beyond words.
    That is the thing which makes my bike special, me special, the whole ride seem exceptional .

      Hope so coz my third service is coming mid march and Im also intending to change the oil from TVS TRU4 to Shell Advance AX-7 10w40

        Welcome Iceman to Tribe Apache
        Check the barcode sticker for manufacturing date(will be in number plate/rhs front)
        Check for any major dents/scratches. Insist on another bike if available or else push for discount.
        Advance wishes for a joyful ownership!

        Yes.For e.g, Road tax differs b/w states. Freight charges will be based on distance from mfg.plant. It costed 90K on-road in Sep'2011 for me.

          clutch-less upshift is not that harmful,but down-shift really is,having said that this practice is not recommended.
          and the question remains why do i race?
          every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

              if freight charges were vital factor wouldn't apache cost more in kolkata?just a thought.

Didnt get the Skidding part? by the way i got 47kms per litre this time but i was ripping the bike a few times and avg speed of 70kms otherwise.
                  higher the tyre pressure, more are the chances of skidding while applying brakes especially if tyres are tvs

                  Bike is decarbed,Valves are replaced.Clutch plates needs to be replaced as soon as possible....Gears getting stuck....
                  But the lone Problem still exists.... Jerks/Hick ups @ 3-3.5k RPM.... nobody has an answer to it...
                  Funny thing is now I have to ride my bike above 6000 RPM...
                  Jerks @<4000 RPM.
                  Vibrations @4000-5500 RPM.
                  5km above would've been great especially at 3:33
                  the real fun is above 6k. You're enjoying your rtr

                  apache 160 is 70k in my city and 78k in banglore. I guess this is due to banglore, mumbai being costly cities. I think delhi is cheapest

                    I wasnt referring to you, man. It was just a general statement!!

                    Btw the RTR crossed 35k kms and the engine decarb has also been completed The bike still is a stonker and has been niggle free(touchwood!). The rear tyre has been nearing its life but myself and my brother are yet to have any concerns from it as far as handling is concerned. Only while hard cornering, we need to be a wee bit alert as the rear feels nervous.

                              They are telling that the prices increased by a few thousands last month as there was an increase in the price of steel...

                                Sure will check all these things .. i should be getting it by tomorrow or day after. The problem with the showroom is that these people give the bikes which are for delivery for test rides :@
