Hi guys..i own the RTR160 (2008) yellow and still have it good as new (5 yrs and running)..my first bike and it hasn't given me trouble so far..the engine, gearbox, suspension, all are fine..done 30k kms so far..i vary the engine output delivery often so that my bike doesn't set to a particular performance level..i rip it (abt 120+ kmph)..i over rev mostly 8k-9k rpm in every gear but a very bad mileage (35kmpl approx) !!.. RTR jus took the load i put in !!! neva think R15 could do it !! i've done 4 long trips (500kms each)..i've replaced chains twice, disc brakes once, tires once, brake shoes trice and thats it !! i have fitted the Xenon headlights (rs 3800/-) and removed the rear mudguard !! i always enjoy the top speeds and handling !! i give it a bath once a weak and use a 3M polish !! am i lucky or are you guys not maintaining yours good enough ?? i service my bike on time !! 29 services so far !! i am planning to fit a NOS kit soon and get an R15 too !! jus want to see what the RTR can do wen pushed to limits !!Leave a comment:

Hi mate,Originally posted by kantu View Post
Thanks for your suggestion.
I am planning to change my bike in a years time and would be going for a premium bike.
The bike is currently manageable and if theres any issue inbetween let me atleast leave them a feedback.Leave a comment:

Happy to see you here again
Tru That ! I am looking for a upgrade, booked TB350 cancelled it, now waiting for bigger brother of Duke.
Ah my CS nik stealer
Long time.
Get disc pads cleaned. They wont do this in regular service sometimes.
It can also be due to the tires as well, if its worn out.
and yea will get the disc checked , I am giving more care to my i20 now i guess
@shahbaz; you seem to ride alot on ur bike
,Any long trips ?

If you are unhappy with the performance of the bike, I suggest you shoot a mail to GM(Contact is in first page). I have seen myself quick turn arounds. They will send good engineers (not from your SVC) to take a look at your bike.Originally posted by pravin.murthy View PostLeave a comment:

Its a Orange RTR FI and no stickers.. u cant miss a orange FI
I am an RTR Fi owner from more than 3 1/2 yrs. Ive replaced the Fi system on the bike 2 times so far!!!
The bike is an absolute mess and no wonder its been stopped...
My suggestion to all the bike buyers, please do not buy an Fi manufactured Indian bike (BAJAJ and TVS).
The japs are experts in Fi... never have heard of complaints on them, but the Bosch Fi on my bike sucks!!!
It is so inconsistent in power delivery!! that its frustrating and Im just waiting for the right next bike to replace this Rattler!!Leave a comment:

The culprit might be some wrong fitting of the brake shoes.Originally posted by Haariss92 View Post
I feel you have faced this issue after you replaced that.
Hit nearby SVC & get it resolved before it ruins your disc setup.Leave a comment:

Update...After some long time visited here ,work and other things caught me up.My RTR has done about 13k in about 2 years...still the throttle response is the same when i first rode it , always brings a smile at my face.......Gave it for service about 2 months back got the brake shoe replaced and got the Teflon coating done too,Though the amount if vibrations have increased and hate the tapet's sound.My only cause of concern which jas cropped up recently is that whenever i use the disk brake , it does not gives a linear braking effect rather it gives jerks.Any known issue?Leave a comment:

So, I'm also suffering with the same heriditory disease
It gets worse when its time to change oil.
I need to do the same. Checked oil today. The levels are fine but the color is not so good.
I normally use Shell semi-synthetic.
Hi sathish. You are one of the oldest person in this Apache RTR 160 thread.Originally posted by onlinesatish View Post[ATTACH=CONFIG]87048[/ATTACH]
Picked up the Duke yesterday! Was confused between Black and Orange, but i finally gave in to Black as usual :P
This is the only bike in india which i felt is a proper upgrade from an RTR! Nothing else came close to what RTR's like execpt Duke!
BTW, RTR is staying, not selling it. Even if i did i will sell it to my close bud only so that i can ride her frequently
Many old guys left this thread & even xbhp. Happy to see you around.
Happy to know that your RTR is still with you.
By the way congratz for your new bike. I was infact fed up with so many orange-dukes running around.
I'm always a big fan of black color. You made a good choice.
Also happy to know that RTR is closest to Duke when it comes to adrenaline rush.
But duke is short geared right? But I feel RTR is other way round.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.Leave a comment:

Thx buddy! Only main reason are the Mech's. Most of the good mech from the SVC have moved on to 4 wheelers and the new guys dont do a good job, so i dont want to torture it anymore! Putting in lesser no of KMS on it these days. Its still stuck between 84-85k kms.Originally posted by madhav766 View PostCongratulations on the new ride!
happy that the RTR stays close Sad thing is, you are one of the oldest owners of the RTR, and you're moving on. Bittersweet feeling.

It would still be with my close bud who love my bike more than his R15! I'll have access to it whenever i want, it kind of staying in the family!
