    Comment


    • i rode my friends Apache Refresh Version and yes i too think that vibes are less in hyper edge bike was cruising @ 65 aaram se no vibes , hope it stays like this

      changed oil @ 500KM to TVS default oil , planning to change @ 1000km as engine heats up too much idling rpm will be at 2k ,is this a bad idea or should i change @ 2500km as per manual or is it simply waste of money ?

        Not only Carb RTRs but all petrol/diesel vehicles on the earth have fuel filter. It may not be there if you have installed aftermarket keylock to replace the fuel cock.
        There's lot to it other than saddle....

          TVS Default Tru4 20w40 is mineral Its life on my bike i noticed is 600kms max. (once i start, shortest ride is 84kms with 70 kms at 90+kmph)
          At 800kms, it turns in mineral water on heating (viscosoty wise ).
          I would suggest not to wait till 1000kms also. Just switch to Semi synth like Power1, Sprinta, Superswift,ect...

              when my bike crossed 14000 kms then I came to know abt fuel filter needs to be replaced after every 9000km
              Change the fuel filter at every 4000-5000kms.

                  Below fuel cock, there is one cup. (die cast aluminium) at bottom of this, you will find the 10mm spanner bolt head, cast in cup. Just loosen it. It will come out with the cup. there is nylon filter diaphagm inside. clean the cup, and filter. Install it back.

                        Once you remove the cup, check at bottom of fuel cock assembly. Its white in color with offset hole for fuel intake in cup. There is a moulded boss at center to pull it out.
                        Do take care of the cup O ring while removing the filter.

                          Ya got the news confirmed by an insider..!!
                          My friend at TVS SVC tested the bike on the 7th of december at the HOSUR plant..!! He told me that it was too good & way better than the existing one..!! No skiding of the tyre,no matter how hard you brake..!!
                          Its got an ECU with all wirings to the braking system..!! Its got a pressure regulating pump(which costs around 15k)..!!
                          Guess what,the bike is just around 5k costlier to the existing model(thats 85k on road)..!!
                          Finally, TVS is the 1st INDIAN company which provides ABS technology to the customers at the lower end..!!

                            Guys.. Dont gimme hopes unless u are damn sure. Bcoz it has been a year since such rumors were spreading and nothing happened till date. In Malayalam, we have a proverb saying, "Dont give hopes that cant be fulfilled , even if you can give an elephant instead" (only fun intended)

                              Im very sure about this matter, the guy at the SVC who went for testing the bike is my close friend & a senior supervisor..!!
                              You can definitely count on this news..!!
