    • Yes and now i think i made biggest mistake of my life my buying a TVS Apache, i would rather buy a Sh*t Pulsar now, but never TVs after my yesterday's experience with their service centre(Nawada, New Delhi).
      Except for bicycles, everything else: i learned to ride it in "Grand Theft Auto"!

        also, any idea how much motul 3000 4t plus 20w40 costs?
        yes ,you need to change the oil filter too....but if you are planning to change the oil at SVC,they are gonna change the filter too,they will charge for it along with the engine oil....motul 30004t cost 200-350rs...rate changes with states

                Convert the electricals to full DC by rewinding the coil and swapping stock RR to ape RR. Whole process will cost somewhere between 1500-2000Rs. Then swap the bulbs to 55w or hid depending on your requirements and budget. Don't go for makeshift arrangements, you may regret in future.

                      Makeshifts like using two RR to charge the single battery, using some magical stuff mechanic provides an tells it will increase the charging rate, connecting the headlight directly to battery and ending up with a fried battery or just plonking a 55w bulb directly and burning the coil and many more genius ideas mechanics give. The simple and tested way is what I mentioned above and also go through this thread for more clarification

                              buy night breaker or xtec extreme white . . they are perfect fit and are 35w but produce better density of light
