absolutely safe! look at all the cars running tubeless.

you will need to carry a tubeless repair kit. it will fit under the seat. cost maybe 250 bucks max. and learn to fix it yourself.

thnx man for all the advice

hey man ..... does your bikes' front end make "TAK-TAK" noise when hitting a bump or a pot-hole (i.e. when the front suspension gets compressed & decompressed)......& while hard brakin.....???????

That's because of a worn-out fork razor kit!!!

I too have the same problem. Whts fork razor kit?? Is it covered under warranty ??
Also i feel that my bike's rear wheel does'nt rotate as freely as compared to other bikes ( not RTR, haven't compared with other RTR) can some shed some light on it !!!!!

One more advice I wud like to give is that you should have alook or two how puncturewalas fix it. The procedure may also be shown at the bavck of the kit's cover. To me, the kit costed Rs. 155 (Delhi).

my cousins rtr came out of the showroom with the same problem ,
reported the same to sc

got something called cone set replaced now the problem's gone

my cousins handle used to shake whenever it passed through any small pothole and sort..

report the the problem u'd get it replaced from the sc.

Actually i had faced this "tak tak" sound from the front end. In my bike's case, it was due to a small rubber grommet which went off from the front disk brake and the disk calipers was hitting with the fork stem.
Got it replaced and now bike is fine. So if your bike is new and has such sound, do check for this.

holy crap dude !!!

i can officially say that your bike has had the worst factory QC and PDI in indian history!

if this were another country you should sue them. could have a nasty accident with a problem with the disc like that. reminds me of the breaking pulsar forks ...

This post is for bangloreans wishing they knew a better place to get their apache serviced.

I got my 3rd service done @5850 kms...

Got it done at Zen TVS near Uma theatre... Met a person named rajesh there, really friendly and knowledgeable person. The bike has been restored to how it was when it was new.. am really satisfied.. an awesome job overall.. all my issues were addressed. You can also take the oil of your choice. My bike is finally on a better oil (power one) compared to the shitty Tru4. The oil when drained out was very less and much older than 2000 kms.

My tachometer which used to stop at 2k rpm instead of 0 was fixed by him. Bharath TVS wanted to replace the whole unit instead of just resetting the needle.

All thanks to Pradeep Reddy and Joel for talking about Zen TVS in this thread, and Pradeep Reddy for letting me know whom to contact and other stuff.

Thanks Guys.

I strongly advice going to Zen TVS for your service.

Also, once your bike is serviced at Zen TVS, head over to Bharath TVS at 3rd block and get it polished for 50/- .. takes just 15 mins .. and believe me its worth every penny. The bike looks as good as new

Hope it helps.
