No, you need to scarb the inner portion for perfect fit, and yes those RTR springs are kind of direct fit but you need a plus to let them in.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Postone more question buddy...
was it a direct fit or you did some changes...
and is it the retractable one (spring loaded) same as the RTR...
i'm asking cuz i'll be fixing it at home......

As of now am riding a RX-135 tiger since last 4 years & it has been really powerful with instant throttle response. Also i am still a fan of it for the way it climbs up the rpm & delivers the power thru the rpm.
After several test rides, I have focussed onto apache rtr/rtr-fi for the power n superb handling.
To choose between rtr n rtr-fi, i have some doubts to be cleared. Please help me out.
1) When i test rode rtr-fi (did test ride at three showrooms), at two showrooms, the bikes felt some missing (as if fuel is abt to finish), when i was accelerating in 2nd or 3rd gear. Is this a design fault with the bike?? can this be cleared??? after riding my rx for last 4 years without any issue, i just cant accept this missing in a new bike
2) Also a doubt regarding the battery. Whether the bike can be started in the absence of a battery? The showroom person says it cant be started.
Actually am really hell bent on RTR-fi, but due to the above problems, am not yet able to decide.
Kindly help me out guys....
guys pls help me out....need to book the bike in a day or two...

I am also in the same boat but with RTR Refresh RD, RTR FI and Unicorn. I discarded FZ for multiple reasons a long backOriginally posted by hariraman View PostHello friends. I am about to buy a new bike. The shortlisted bikes were FZ 16, apache rtr & apache rtr-fi.

I was also reading this thread regularly to find out that RTR FI has some problems with power missing after heating, excessive heating and so on. But again someone confirmed that FI is are getting a new lot where TVS tried to sort these problems out.

- That I guess is a not a problem but dealers don't put liters of petrol while FI unit in the bike needs at least 2.5-3 liters of petrol in the tank to function perfectly.

- That, again, I guess I have read on the same thread that it gets started w.o. any hiccups.
If you ask me, I would say that the way RTR 180 is expected around this month end, wait for that and have a test ride. That is expected t have better power and handling than both of these bikes. Also it's coming with some more goodies - stylish rear mud guard
, new colour, tubeless tyres ...

little pressure is okay but very high pressure water on the chain will damage the O-ring seals in the chain. If they burst open the the chain's internal self lubrication system is gone.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Postthe only way to clean your chain is to spray high pressure water to it while rotating as the rains will be makin it dirty the other day...
same applies to disc too....
Speak to the SC guys. They should change your cone set... in warranty or not would depend on a lot of factors.Originally posted by nox2505 View PostI am sick if the handle bearings now. They keep making pitting noise on rough roads. If i tight the check nut further, handle becomes so hard, and still it makes noise. Can i get the bearings changed under warrenty? The issue of clutchplate is standardized now. though, the shifting is not as smooth as my 30k victor, i have no complaints. plz. guide.(especially satish in case of warrenty
. He is the most experiensed in that case
)
Is there difference in rear brake pedal on RTR and RTR RD/Fi? I think the one on rear drum RTR is larger.
May be your bike's idle rpm is set very low. How much is it now? it should be about 1300 RPM.Originally posted by joyjeetdan View PostI got a peculiar problem with my bike..... when the bike is on and in neutral gear without throttle, it vibrates too much. but at the same time if i am using my front disk, the vibration is disappearing. and never the less as soon as i am loosening my front disk it again starting to vibrate...
Is it normal???? Or anything can be done....
we heard earlier on this thread that the missing issue can be resolved with a change in a seal in the FI unit and yes very less petrol in the tank might just add up to it.Originally posted by hariraman View PostHello friends.

A day ago Apar said he has given his battery for charging on the way to office... pls check with him if he carried the battery on another bike or he rode the bike, gave the battery and wished to collect it that evening... that'd possibly give u the needed answer.

Any H4 type bulb would fit in.

Silencer is melting my front mudguard.
Thanx HydBiker.
Check out the following pics. I found this today while washing my RTR.
if connected by line, The mark on Silencer and mudguard are in line with front telescopes. That means on hard braking, The mudguard is touching the silencer
. Has anyone found this and got claim settled from TVS
?
I got 55/60 upgrade info. Thanx kauria. got srvice manual of Fi also, but there is no full circuit diagram there is charging and ECU circuit onlt.. Do u have full wiring diagram of RTR?Last edited by nox2505; 05-22-2009, 10:00 AM.There's lot to it other than saddle....

yes in the morn i tried but the corner part is getting into the way will be goin to scrap it a bit thn it'll fit directly....Originally posted by kauria View PostNo, you need to scarb the inner portion for perfect fit, and yes those RTR springs are kind of direct fit but you need a plus to let them in.
the feeler bolts from RTR was a direct fit tht saved me 210 bucks as the feeler bolts from R15 costs 210.......

man tht inch long bolt cost more than the pegs....
the spring from the RTR is not fitting in it neatly so will be fitting it without the springs...
will post the pics.........

Carried it on another bike, but then why would someone drain the whole battery unless u attempt some nonsense like my HID kit. To top it all its a 9Ah battery which will not discharge in a jiffy like the R15's battery or something. And my battery was down by some 4-5 volts and the Fi unit was running if kick-started.Originally posted by HydBiker View PostA day ago Apar said he has given his battery for charging on the way to office... pls check with him if he carried the battery on another bike or he rode the bike, gave the battery and wished to collect it that evening... that'd possibly give u the needed answer.
My advice would be to wait and go for the RTR-180 or RTR-Fi. Its worth every penny. As of now, I have no major problems or gripes. The power missing was an issue in earlier lot, not the present. Of course if the fuel is less, the pump makes a distinct sound and starts jerking! Maybe the testride bike was from the old lot.Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner. Liberty is when the sheep has a gun.
