Re: Apache RTR 160/FI
Air filter should not be much costly. The Mrf vyde is a soft compound tire I must say. It may not last longer than 20000 kms at the most but grip is awesome. You can look at other options as well.Leave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR/FI
Thanks for the suggestions. I have replaced my spark plug on last service. Not sure about the Air filter though. Will check the condition and see if it requires replacement. Any idea how much a new Air filter costs? My rear tyre is 18". I will checkout MRF vyde.Originally posted by ajextreme View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR/FI
Do the things as per "Things Planned".Originally posted by nizarp View Post
Change spark plug and air filter if still running on the stock one. For tire, plz confirm if the rim size is 17 or 18 inch. If 17 inch, you are left with mrf zapper c ( if you can source it) or the Remora ones. Some of the members are running on 120/80 profile. See if you can source that profile tires. Else you can look for 110/90 profile tires. If 18 inch, then I would suggest the Mrf zapper vyde 100/90.Leave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR/FI
Hi Guys,
My RTR 160 is due for a complete service. My Odo reads 38500 now. Last service was done from service centre at 34k. I don't trust the service centre guys here. So I wanted to do it myself with the help of a friendly mechanic. I need input from you guys to identify what are the things I need to do. I have listed down the following items. Some of them are already by myself (marked complete). Please help me with anything that I have missed. No major complaints apart from the things listed below.
Thinks done:
- Engine Oil & Oil filter change - Complete
- Replace rear break shoes - Complete
- Front Disk Pads change - Complete
Things Planned:
- Replace cone set on front suspension - I am hearing tuk tuk sound on bad roads. Friend(mechanic) suggested to replace the cone set
- Replace chain sprocket - Chain is due for replacement
- Replace front left indicator - This is boken, needs a replacement
- Rear tyre change - Needs replacement, please suggest which one
- Check Spark plug
- Air filter cleaning
- Complete wash
Please let me know if I needs to check or do anything as part of regular maintenance.Leave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR/FI
Hi I bought RTR160 Matte Blue couple of days back.
So far only 200odd kms are done.
Today I wanted to test console and found a very odd information saying that my top speed is 134kmph. I haven't crossed 50kmph but how is this possible?
Was my bike misused by dealer or already abused by other test rider?
I remember that ODO said 7km when I took delivery but didn't check top speed there though.Leave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR 160/FI
Even I have learnt things the same way by taking matter into own hands. That's the fun of biking for me. Though I learnt some things the hard way, but I am not disappointed. It made me better and more a better person.Originally posted by vkihell View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR 160/FI
^^^Dude I would suggest the Rtr any day being a previous owner. I have ridden the gixxer as well. It terms of performance Rtr is better than gixxer. Little vibey but you will get over with the vibes. On the other hand gixxer is refined, has decent power and considering your height might well suit your requirements. But go ahead with which your heart moves. Maintenance might be almost the same for both the bikes. You should be able to squeeze 45 kmpl mileage in both the bikes. If maintained well both the bikes will do the job for you. Else you have alternates in Unicorn, Yamaha r15s (though might be bit costly), even the Rtr 180 or 200 etc etcLeave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR 160/FI
Hii Guys,
Today I visited 2 TVS Showrooms for TD and quotation of Apache 160 in Pune.
I am attaching quotations of the bikes which is given to me.
Sadly one of the showroom ( Kalamkar TVS located in Balewadi Phata Baner) didn't give me TD.
Other showroom ( Century TVS Wakadewadi Shivajinagar) gave me TD, I liked the bike but speedometer was off so I didn't judge at what speed I am riding bike.
I love the bike overall.
I take TD of Gixxer also which is located opposite to Century TVS.
Pickup of Gixxer was just Awesom.I drive the bike upto 82kmph just within seconds.The TD bike was in so bad condition,the bike felt same as FZ 16 (one of friend have it).
But price of Gixxer is looking so High compared to Apache.
I will get rear disk Apache 160+ Choice No. + 2 months of petrol in the cost of Gixxer.
Can I bargan more with the price of the bikes ? If yes , then how much?
Guys so much confusion in both bikes,
I am favoured in Apache more, so please need your Advice.
Thanks.Last edited by shekhark; 10-10-2016, 09:17 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR 160/FI
The positive side of this situation is i am getting to learn more about my bike. I belong to IT field so i have less/no knowledge about bikes internal working. Usually i make sure its serviced on time.Originally posted by ajextreme View Post
For this particular problem i am taking matter into my own hands. I will try to inspect the bikes oil level. Since bike has lost some of its pickup(50k km) i will ask for decarbonization once i visit the svc. It will be a slow process since its hard to get a day off from work. I will post with updates next time.Leave a comment:

Re: Apache RTR 160/FI
I am just speculating since you said engine was running fine. First check the oil and look for white smoke from the exhaust. If engine is drinking oil then its a sign of bore and piston wearing out. Next check for the tire pressure you are running on. Since servicing is not an issue with your bike, I doubt carb and sprockets are a reason to worry. So was speculating the bike might be facing loss of compression due to carbon accumulation in the head and piston. Do some self checks for which you don't have to go to the service center. Also given the odometer running of the bike it could be some wear and tear in the engine internals.
Anyway keep us posted. You don't have to follow what I said. You know your bike better. Hope the issues get resolved soon.Leave a comment:
