    1. A rear disc (some forum members have confirmed this but the official Apache website doesn't say so)
    2.Does it have blue backlight for the console?
    3.does it have the lap timer, 0-60 timer & top speed recorder like on the Fi ?

          • Can you guys please list best solutions for the following problems in RTR, that you opted for:

            1) Vibes --- Oil or anything else - please with full specifications(o.w. someone like me wouldn't get that)
            2) Rear tyre -- which tyre should one go for? If budget permits whether a good tubeless or radial tyre can be fit in it?
            3) Which setting should one(like me with height 5'6") use for RTR handle bar?

            Any other tip which could be useful for a wannbe RTRian .. it seems I may go for RTR RD or RTR FI in the end .. but still researching.

            Somewhere I read that this bike is good for 5'8" to 6' but I found it very easy to control for myself. Am I getting this right?

                  Owners reply to these .. expecting some sort of maintenance guide for RTR/RTR FI .. which would be really useful for other wannbe RTRian s

                            2. My front wheel is wobbling a bit for last few days..can this be repaired or I have to get a new rim?
                            3. Any idea how much does a new front rim cost ?
                            4. Which is the best service centre for RTR in bangalore?

                              1. I have used almost every well known oil in market. Vibration stayed in the bike permanently. Once you cross that RPM range, they disappear.

                              2. I am using Zapper Y which has been decent. I have heard Rim is not designed to have tubeless satisfactorily.

                              3. If handle is set towards you, you will be able to bend arm a bit more which in turn will provide more flexibility in maneuvering the bike.

                              4. For any height, RTR is easy to handle, cause this is the inherited pros of RTR.

                              Additional Tip: If you are a 'refined Engine/big bike feel' fan, you have better options in market. Otherwise nothing rocks like this baby.

                                RTR will be launched in US.

                                I assume it will be a FI version.
