    just change the left RVM and the indicator alone. You can probably get the gear shifter straightened and just touch up the sareegaurd and the crash gaurd with black paint at a local paintwala!

          Satish, after reaching home I didn't sleep as usual and went to the SC around 11 in the morning. There the boyz were not having lot of work at that time. I just took a new gear shifter (554 rs) and replaced both RVMs for the price of 1 (130 rs). total bill was 684 rs and its the last time of the month, so total financial trouble for me. But I cant see her crying.

          I changed the gear shifter assembly because I was in doubt that my gears will run hard with the jugaad things like trying to make the gear shifter straight again. And may be I just wanted to forget that incident by changing all related items to the crash.

                • purcasing apache

                  Hi!!i would be requiring your expert opinion to finalise my apache...
                  just want to decide betwenn rtr160 and rtr160 fi..... The amount difference is approx 10000.
                  Let me tell about myself: I am 33yrs., it will be my first bike, i am 5"6 and 65 kgs. Mine will be mainly city driving. Also yif you want to suggest some alternative, i will consider it.

                  Another thing i want to know is that what all should i check at the time of delivery? As have read in the blogs,
                  the tires are of inferior quality, can they be exchanged or i'll have to buy new?
                  the headlight bulb?
                  and all your suggestions...please let me know asap as i have to buy this week..

                    I think this is the most common damages like in most accident cases thth gear pedal/lever/shifter get bend . Last year even i face same thing my bike was new(4days and 200kms old) whn i had my first and last fall ....even i noticed that bikes gear shifter got bend ..? i mean i dont wana say its prblem but i just wana say its the most common damage after accident in most of RTR's .
                    Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                      I would suggest the carb version, but would also suggest you wait for sometime, as the new lot is rumored to have some 23 internal changes!

                            since you can buy a RTR Fi have you looked at the RTR 180 ? its a much better option . only thing would be the lesser mileage .

                              but one thing i will suggest you is to wear a full face lid (in you avatar you're not wearing one,that too while doin a wheelie, which is foolishness),get yourself a proper racing suit (otherwise a good jacket with jeans) complete with knee and elbow guards and gloves.

                              180 is cheaper than FI and provides more bangs per bucks....
                              go for it.

                                I'm owning the RTR 180 from last month. It will be good VFM bike.
                                It is slightly cheaper than 160 FI.
