    Cheerz!!
    How's the engine undergoing more stress here sir jee? Base grade is still 10. Infact 10w40 would fare better (read w.r.t lubing) at higher temps compared to 10w30. Isn't it?

    For the TS - read @prateek2210's post here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...tml#post859822

    Also, check for:
    1. Carb settings/AF ratio. Mechanics do lean the mix for *better* mileage figures without asking!
    2. Air filter condition.
    3. Oil level. I hope the correct quantity was filled in.

    Hello everyone,
    Check oil level , if you fill more or less oil than recommanded quantity then this might be the reason of engine overheating.

    I think the stock is 10w30. Experts can correct me.

As i felt lot of vibrations on top gear and after reading lot of discussion on the same, i wanted to give it a shot by changing the engine oil. I changed the engine oil to Shell AX7 10W40 semi synthetic.

    After the oil change, i am facing engine over heat issue. I can feel the heat all the way up to the tank. The overheating is only after i changed the oil. Never i have experienced it before.

    Can you please suggest a solution for the issue ?
    Check oil level, maybe you are running lean (check the spark plug condition for this).

    Do you ride in city traffic or highway? In city traffic, the heat will be felt to some extent.

    1. From what you have described, clutch looks the likely culprit.

    2. You will barely get any additional power (if at all) from converting it to Fi. Keep it stock.

    TVS Apache Help required asap

    There are two tricky questions i would like to ask everyone interested to reply.

    SO here they are:

    1. I have clocked 32k on my apache rtr160 and it's a 2011 purchase. The problem i am facing is that the bike runs fine on plain surfave but as soon as an incline comes be it a bridge or terrain i am having an instant speed fall of almost 10kph which i feel is not right. The engine is also giving me a coked feeling (aitha hua).

    So what seems to be the problem? Is it the flywheel or cutch? Or is the cylinder?

    And shall i get an engine overaul?

    2. We all know that TVS made out fuel injected versions for a while and i am thinking of coverting to it for a little more power but i am still worried as a friend was adamant that if it goes wrong while on trips we will be stranded in nowhere. The service centre assures of the conversion but does not take gaurantee of failure and being stranded on mountains or deserts or roads aswell.

    Please suggest me on these two.

    First check using the method i mentioned above. Then you can see if there is anything to worry about.

The first time you fill 2-3 ltrs you would have just crossed the reserve mark. And then you would reserve again, throwing your calculations out of the window.

    Full Tank it, ride for 100 km and then full tank it again and then calculate the fuel consumed.
