        Heavy black smoke shows rich mixture, you need to retune carb.How much on odo btw. No idea about electrical components .

            You'll need to convert your bike's electricals to full DC before you run bulbs with higher wattage than the stock.

              thanks for your reply, is there any way without this as I dont want to cover my bike to DC & also I would like to change the Engine oil, bike has clocked around 30k kms, which engine oil would be best and its price if possible

                I don't know of any other reliable method. I would suggest you not to try other methods because you may get stranded in the middle of nowhere with low battery. Get it converted to full DC. Most of the modern bikes come with full DC. Regarding the oil, I personally have used Shell Advance AX7 multiple times. It's a pretty good performer for its price(~Rs. 350/-). I have heard that Veedol Superswift 10W40 semi synthetic oil is also good. I have no personal experience with it though. Fully synthetic oils offer maximum smoothness, but they are expensive and the oil level dips rapidly in RTR. So it's not recommended.
                Whatever oil you get, make sure that you get it from an authorised dealer, as the market is flooded with fake ones, especially Castrols.

                  Re: Lack of power and chocking of the engine

                  Please check your bike's diaphragm.The third problem maybe of the defective diaphragm.It costs around 650-700 INR in TVS SVC.

                  Hello everyone. Greetings.
                  I've been having some issues with my Apache RTR 160 for a while now. The bike has done 23000 and odd kilometers till date. It is a 2008 - June model.
                  I have used the bike for short commutes for day to day work within the city permises alone. About a year back, I was having some knee issues so I restrained from riding two/four wheelers for a period of around 5 months.

                  Now my Apache has the following issues

                  1. Engine idling doesn't stay steady even after adjustment
                  2. Vehicle power is too low, the vehicle is not moving without raising the acceleration by opening the throttle.
                  3. On opening the throttle there is a sudden chocking feeling in the bike and then the bike begins to move ahead.
                  4. Less than 4000 rpm, the bike is not running.

                  I just want to know if there could be any of these reasons which might cause these issues

                  1. Clutch wear
                  2. Accelerator cable wear
                  3. Spark plug issues
                  4. Engine alternator coil gone bad
                  5. Air filter issues
                  6. Carburetor block
                  7. Wiring issues (harness)

                  I need to get my bike back to form again.

                  It would be helpful if you could help me with giving me some suggestions/ experiences similar to this which you would have faced and solved.

                  I gave my vehicle twice for service to TVS service, but no use, they never addressed the specific issue.

                  Thank you in advance

                  Yours

                          Hi Guys, anyone knows good mechanics for RTR in bangalore. I have got my RTR FI modded into a Carb version. The performance is good but the mileage has dropped. It Needs almost 4 litres to run 100 kms. i am sort of fed up now. I dont have much moolah to throw on the bike. Guide me to someone who i can work along and get to know my bike better as well. As much as i love the bike she has off lately been a nuisance to handle. I want to bring her up to better condition before i can look for a higher cc and powerful bike.

                            I don't know about any mechanic. I would also like to know about one. Regarding the mileage, are you using correct size jet? What's the color of your spark plug? Try re tuning the carb if the mixture is rich.

                              The spark plug is pretty new. The bike is modded to a 225 cc bore and piston. With high lift cam shaft and headwork to match the outflow. Also running on K&N Air filter. Was a FI model before but not converted to a carb version. 30 mm carb on the bike currently. The guy has tuned the bike to a drag setup. All i asked him was to get the bike up and running above 145 kph and bloody it kinda gets stuck at 130 kph. My thinking is more likely to get a 28mm carb and go back to the stock air filter. RTR guys here please help. I dont want to go back to that guy again. He shows big time attitude and doesnt turn up to the shop itself. Probably if i give the bike to him, he will do the job but i wont see my bike for a month or so. He just doesnt deliver on time. Lazy Bugger!!!!

                                I see it's severely modded. I asked the color of the spark plug to get an idea regarding the air fuel ratio. Since it's severely modded, I don't think I can help much. My best advice for peace of mind is to revert to the stock setup. For more info, try posting the same in RTR180 thread. People with hot rodding experience may be able to help you out.
