    U can try a handle bar. Fz handle is real wide. I tried a Rx135 5spd with fz handle(full blown mods, was smoking every other bike including 220's) and it was real wide. But you can still try it. After all i think fz handle wont cost more than 300-400bucks!

    But u should be ready to compramise on the looks department. Why not try flame / A150 handle bar's?

    AFAIK, the no plate bulb cover comes along with the rear fender itself. Flap has nothing to do with it. Its just a flap!



    P.S - I kinda hate chain sprays now!

So stick to a branded tube. Also check the tyre carefull for embedded objects. Sometime you have a small object stuck in the main body of the tyre which isn't really clearly visible from either the outside or the inside. It's only when the bike is loaded that the tyre compresses and this object can slowly hurt the tube. And if it's a very small leak it may not show in the water test.
      ok.. mine is a exactly same case.. had a puncture before and the road side puncture wala told me the valve area was damaged and sold me a "zoom" tube.

      Now got it replaced yesterday with a dunlop tube(100 x 90 18"), since 100 x 80 is not available for the rear tyre. cost me 270 bucks

            ^^^ Satish, my worst ever phase of punctures or air leaks without a known reason. Almost all of the punctures are on the joints. I replaced 7 Ceat tubes (considered the best) in 5 months (each with several punctures) and when I switched to TVS tubes it all stopped

            The number of puncture shop visits I made in those 5-6 months - well, didn't even do half that many in the 15 years before that.

                Oh yes!
                My bad.

                No, you have to buy it seperately.

                    Changed to Motul 5100 15w50 on RTR refresh.
                    Vibes mostly gone,Gear shift has become more smooth and yeah I think the engine heats up very fast.

                            Hi all,

                            Any suggestion for the K&N Airfilters for the Apache RTR 160. My Bike done with 11k Kms. Will there be any problems of i put the air filters. I was planning to put both K&N Air n oil Filter for my bike.. I need your suggestions before i buy them also please tell me which model is good for the bike.

                            Heard that ther's a lot changes in the bike after putting them.

                            Which tyre is the best for the RTR. My budget for the tyre is 1600/-

                              You ordered that red rear reflector or not?

                              @RedDevilz999:

                              Oil filter is there already, you dont need to put one there.

                                Now what? Do we have to order that seperatly too?

                                Is'nt it suppossed to come along with the mudgaurd?


                                @RDZ

                                I think u'd get ceat vertigo for that price. Do u give ur bike at kiran Tvs for service? And stay away from K&N unless and until u find a person u knows what he's doing. Else u'll end up screwing ur bike and the warrenty!
