that's lotta changes that'll effect positively in handling department(which was in any case is BRILLIANT)

Few Guesses from me.

1. Handle bar dampes- Heavier end weights and rubber packings on handle bar mounting.
2. Rpm needle- Hope it ont vibrate any more. Or Tacho may be Digital,
3. Throttle- Short play throttle
4. Chain kit-44/13 sprocketing, as on RTR180,
5. Pilot lamps- Hope so they ill be LED and DC circuited,
6. One way clutch- What is this?,
7. Clutch- Semi Metallic lining clutch plates,
8. Carb- Main jet 106,107 or 107.5
9. Starter-Noiseless,
10. Rear suspensions- monoshock(cant expect, No place to put it in existing frame.) Thay might be Golden like RTR180
11. Air Filter- More are the chances that it will be Paper foam type or K&N .
12. Single coil magnetto, with higher wattage.
13. No fuel cock. (they may put in electronic solenoid as in Flame)
14. 3-valve head and twin spark (TVS got clearance for this yesterday-they are launching Flame DR)
15. High lift Cams.
16. backlit Switches and self cancelling indicators (may be like pulssy)
17. read mud guard standard like RTR180
18. Rear wheel 17" with 110/80 Tyre
19. Projection Headlamp
20. Larger Discs may be 290F and 240 R


Hushhhhhhhhhh. cant think any more. I am exhausted.........

i would love to see this atleast....
it makes a pathetic noice...

the most good sounding starter i've came across is ZMA's....

Wow !! Tats a great move ... But can we install some of these upgrades in our rtr refresh...?? To what extent it is possible

yes you asked the correct question buddy

This is a component connected to Starter Motor which kinda disengages when engine comes to life.

I think the normal starter (present one) also disengages from engine when it is started......

Thats Not called one way Clutch then. Its Sprag clutch- A type of clutch used for unidirectional power transmission.

Well, I was told this by TVS Engineer when I got it replaced for my bike. It just broke while PDI at SVC.

KK. U can google up for the same.

Hello apachians exactly how much average you are getting from your rtr fi?

Tyre query for Apache

Hey guys..i am planning to change my rear tyre..these are my options:

1)MRF Zapper Q-100/90-18 TT
Good VFM..good grip..decent looks..easily available at all MRF outlets.

2)Michelin M45- 4.00x18 TT (translates to 101.6/101.6-18)
very good grip, good looks, a little pricey(Rs1800 in michelin dealerships) and much costlier outside.Don't know how much this tyre will affect handling because of the 101.6mm sidewall height(the stock tyre is only 80mm).am already using a MRF meteor 110/90-18 and the 99mm sidewall height did affect my handling especially in heavy traffic.

3)Pirelli Sports Demon-110/90-18 TL
soft compound, excellent grip and looks, bad wet traction,wears off very fast, very costly in the grey market(Rs.2400 quoted).

I want guys who are using these tyres on their Apache RTR's to give their first hand opinions..Thanks in advance!!....

Nah....i dont think these would have improved the handling!


may be oneway clutch is a lay man's term!

My RTR is running on a 110-80 vee rubber for almost 2.5k kms now. Though its excellent in grip and cornor, its has robbed a lot in term of acceleration. I miss the fun i used to have before!
