....Are these eyrons and veyrons anyway near our home grown bikes....

heres an update on my bike. if you guys remember, SC had replaced the fi unit on my bike. but guess what. the issue is still not resolved.

whats more frustrating than that is that I had also told them about front wheel wobbling at speeds above 60 and ol leak, both of which are still untounched.
does TVS expect that their customer have no other work than to do rounds of the SC twice every week? seriously pissed off...
could anyone here help me on how to escalate this issue? or any other suggestions?

**killtheking** · 05-06-2009, 02:08 PM

wobbling

after 2 accidents... even my handle wobbles at speeds lesser than 60... above that its kinds less....

isnt it possible to completely remove the fork bend ?? SVS guys say thats the max they can do...

Got my byk delivered yesterday

Hi All,
i got my apache RTR Fi T grey bike delivered yesterday. Staff were courteous in xplaining things and got delviery . as advised rode bike in 40KM.. when i switch on the ignition, there is self check and there is loud sound rmp meter goes one round and comes back. then after start the bike though the sound is not loud but again i can here that when bike is neutral. is this the case with everyone. this sound is irritating... other than this the byk is good. pl let me know whats this sound all bout...

thanx for giving suggestion once again in choosing such a great byk..

**Puneet1** · 05-06-2009, 07:33 PM

^^^ its the fuel pump i think . is it a ringing sound?

**TorQ** · 05-06-2009, 07:42 PM

Yes it is coming freom that area only. i was just considering whether all apache FI owner facing the same sound. if thats ok then i dont have concerns. if my problem is very wierd then i need to goto to service station.... pl pour in ur views....

Congrats mate

Do post pics soon!

Yes, the sound is common to all RTR FIs. I find it rather cool... It's the sound of the fuel getting filled up in the fuel pump or something like that.

knockin update......

After i cleaned my air filter yesterday the knockin vanished,though the airfilter was not at all chocked but still thr's no knockin now......

man strange things do happen with FI............

By the way i clean my air filter with surf excel...!!!!!
i used to do it with kerosene but it used to smell so bad tht i stopped doin it with it....

after cleaning it with surf excel i keep it in sun to let the water dry completely and fit it....

"Experts" comments invited on my cleaning with water procedure.......

**HydBiker** · 05-07-2009, 09:57 AM

^^^ you cannot see all the dirt in the air filter with a naked eye. The tiny pores that are supposed to filter dust from air are really tiny to block the dust and the filter needs a regular cleaning and a replacement at the manufacturer specified interval. My view is that the air filter and spark plug are the easiest & cheapest of the things that we can replace periodically to keep the engine running well.

No probs buddy. i do it regularly. its all about removing oil and dust from filter. if u have time to dry it properly, u can do it. if i m in hurry, i clean it with petrol and fit immediately and move on.

**nox2505** · 05-07-2009, 10:26 AM

As my apache completed 900kms, i purformed burnout. after that, it created shifting problem (it as not getting declutched). The dealer told me whatever i wanna do, do it after 3000-4000 kms. I kept pushing bike as it is, and now at 1400, its much better than before. any one have faced prob like this? if it was on my victor, i would have cleaned the clutchplates. but thr prob of warranty with apache. got to wait till next service.
