      people just wanted your help in choosing a proper K&N air filter for my apache RTR 160...give me some suggestions....
      Wait for few days and keep ur eyes open here, Soon I am going to mod my airfilter with a paper one. No its not a KN but it will give better performence then KN, without much herm to ur bike and cost wise it will be way cheaper then the KN.
      KN RC 1060 cost almost Rs.1600
      My new paper Airfilter cost only Rs.200.

      Just need a good 2-3 hour to done that, but office

      BTW my idea was already supported by TVS service engineer.

          • The tacho vibes is the same on my bike too. Guess its a common issue with the RTR's....

              The vibration is so high that i can see the needle vibrating ranging 1k rpm.. the needle will be present at 9k rpm and 10k rpm at an instant ... its faster than light :P

              • i have been noticing some abnormal behavior with the tacho needle for last couple of days.

                yesterday, after a 15km drive in city, the needle showed 800rpm in neutral..but going by the sound, it was maybe at 1400 rpm

                today, after again after a 15kms drive home -> office - tacho shows 200rpm in neutral

                        • for all those who have rpm needle vibe problem

                          Pls check if ur needle shoots up smoothly.

                          Start ur bike and warm it up let it settle in idle rpm and then at an instant rev it as it has to hit 11k rpm. see if the needle hit the 10k or 11k mark easily. if the needle get stuck at 6k rpm and falls back to zero. get ur speedo replaced under warrenty

                          try this for quiet sometime. this is exactly why my speedo was replaced twice!

                                Why not. All alloy wheels do.
