finally got my service done bike is feeling g8 get carb tuned and valve clearance adjusted ans its having crisp acceleration and i tried to ride my bike on highway but no luckon top everything is working excellent and elf 20w40 is feeling ok no change felt.but was unable to go above 9k rpm with 122kms top speed

i asked the service guy he said check you tyre pressure and ride like dis few days i will get it done ....what would be the reason now
cz chain is properly tight lubricated tyres having proper air carb tuned (i hope it is tuned properly)....what would be the reason now ??

You need crouching to go further

Thanks
And were you trying to check the speed on the opposite direction of wind blast...as speed will depend on many factors apart from engine.

nope buddy there was no speed blast i guess and i wasn't in the opposite direction .just checked the TVS website for the top speed mentioned there was 124km top for both Apache RTR 180 and Apache RTR 180 ABS

but i have seen Apache RTR 160 guy to run his bike on 126 how this can possible?? if it is then surely there is some problem in my bike regarding top speed

Ever tried it on a downhill , that video might have been shot like that, who knows.

Coming back to issue, let me think what other things can be responsible

Do you expect abs to change top speed?

Anyways I'll suggest you not to check topspeed again and again. IMO if your rtr is going above 120 then it's fine and nothing's wrong with it. But above 130 happens only when wind is helping you. I personally have ridden at 137, above which it just refuses to go further but the point is: It's not good to ride apache above 110 as It feels quite unstable at high speeds. I didn't get an award for riding it above 120 and I believe it's stupidity to ride above 110 and came to know it the hard way. RTR has low end and r15 has top end and it feels quite planted at that speeds.
Enjoy the acceleration, that's what rtr is good at.
About the rtr160: Hmm people on pulsar 150 and gs150r reach above 125

, don't know how. I've ridden the a160 and I feel it's low-end and midrange isn't good enough so I think a180 has benefitted more in that area than in top end.

@prateek: On which bike did you ride at 227? Must have been a great experience.
Also which pilot lamps are those: led or normal bulbs and how much W?

124km/hr is Apache RTR 180's True top speed. The speedo will be showing 134km/hr at that point. And that's what is called speedo error. Almost all motorcycles/cars have it. Many manufacturers set the meters to read high by an amount equal to the average error. This will ensure the speedo never indicate a lower speed than the actual speed of the motorcycle. True speed is tested using special gadgets like VBOX which is based on GPS.

Road level, wind conditions, rider weight etc., will give an increase of 2-3km/hr from what the company claim.

but in 5th gear it should go above 9k till the top speed it can reach that my point if any 1 can touch his Apache rtr 180 above 120 why not me ...more than speed .........not going above 9k rpm is in my concern

That was a CBR1000RR 2007 model. I was scared to go past that till I saw the speedo

Those are LEDs for 100INR... Karol bagh...mecca for these things

Even I did 134 but just once, after that even I am unable to go above 130, so I guess its ok and now my top speed recorded shows 160kmph (typical rtr speedo error)

Is the meter working properly?

IMO spark plug and cables wont have any kind of effect on your mileage. Try changing your Fueling station and get your carb cleaned and tuning done. That should help

Guys, what's up with the Part catalog in the very first post? I see nothing in there! Can some one give me a link of the updated sheet?

Thanks for the info yaar. I checked it out in the local mechanic & he too said nothing wrong with spark plug & I may have to clean the carb.

I have made that 126 in my RTR HE.

Get your bike tuned properly and also when going in such speed make sure you lean down your body completely on the tank. Also the inital pick acceleration should be good, like shift gears at 6k-7k rpm.
That will help out.
Still you are finding issue check the wheel alignment and if any friction on disc pads.
Also make sure that you have enough petrol. This is something I have found. When the petrol is less I dont get that much acceleration. Maybe it might be my feeling

or maybe bike has Artificial Intelligence

hahahaha i lean down that time i will get retuning done and will check for the friction with disk-pads...lets c what happens ...by the way before servicing my bike touched 124 now its 122

salla svc meri 2km/s ki speed bhi kam kardi
