    • I am thinkin of changing my tyre..

      Would like to go for the tubeless wala tyre.. 17" front and 18" rear.. any suggestions..??

      I heard Vee rubber has awesome grip and the front & rear costs 5500/- bucks!

      any alternative to Vee??
      A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

      Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

            • Got a problem In my bike ,the front Disk when pressed hard makes a Squealing noise (like mouse) ,

              also got my bike punctured n the tube was damaged from the point where air is filled in n so had to put a new tube of MRF (looked fake 2 me but no choice) put by a roadside mechanic , he also scratched my black rims also

              • go in for dunlop.........
                it's the best tubeless in the market, you can opt for 110/80 for rear as it'l fit in the same rim

                • i bought a new RTR FI grey 5 days back..........
                  man it's hell to drive this bike in the 4000 RPM range for the first 1000kms!!!!!!!!!!

                  by the way the rear disc is not as responsive as the front one.....
                  byt still no complaints

                        • Engine missing of APACHE RTR FI

                          the engine of the APACHE RTR FI behaves in a strange manner when ridden in the 2000-3000 rpm area,the engine idles rock study at 1400 rpm( thanks to the DELPHI ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM),but after that it misses till 3000 RPM,though this disappears when the bike is cold and the moment the bike regains its operating temperature the engine starts to miss again,this is experienced when the throttle is not opened sharply and the input is given on the slight and on the progressive basis...

                          This is not because of the spark plug as i experienced this with the other FI's too(mine is 60km old),i've changed the spark plug with the NGK IRIDIUM twin electrode one(original supplyed is bosche twin electrode also)...

                          may be the engine management system is not gettin the inputs from the throttle when its open slightly and is not supplyin the data correctly...
                          it can be DELPHI ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM designed for sudden inputs cuz with that the bike revs to its 12000 RPM!!!! celeing with power not trailing off till 11000 RPM!!!!!!!!

                          I simply LOVE that.....
