theres a person in orkut who rectified the problem ..
it seems that there is a hole in the air box which was choucking the bike ..
the tvs people now know how to solve it .. so cheers
well it is hard but .. 15-20 km is not a problem for one side ..
and double sider have no problem at all

the engine of the APACHE RTR FI behaves in a strange manner when ridden in the 2000-3000 rpm area,the engine idles rock study at 1400 rpm( thanks to the DELPHI ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM),but after that it misses till 3000 RPM,though this disappears when the bike is cold and the moment the bike regains its operating temperature the engine starts to miss again,this is experienced when the throttle is not opened sharply and the input is given on the slight and on the progressive basis...

This is not because of the spark plug as i experienced this with the other FI's too(mine is 60km old),i've changed the spark plug with the NGK IRIDIUM twin electrode one(original supplyed is bosche twin electrode also)...

may be the engine management system is not gettin the inputs from the throttle when its open slightly and is not supplyin the data correctly...
it can be DELPHI ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM designed for sudden inputs cuz with that the bike revs to its 12000 RPM!!!! celeing with power not trailing off till 11000 RPM!!!!!!!!

I simply LOVE that.....

the FI is not having any airbox i think as far as i've checked......
if yes where is it located...

no Airbox? i dont get you ...every bike irrespective of fi or carb will have an air box which has the air filter... what you talking about?

WHAT ARE You TALKING MAN!>??

well i got it today only........
it's located after the airfilter,
airbox (also known as powerbox) is not the thing where the airfilter is situated bro its a little box where the filtered air is stored which compliments the sudden throttle inputs......
improves the throttle responce makin it far more crisp......

well test ride one and check it urself.......
after it reaches it's operatin temp you'l experience that.....

sorry to tell but u need to brush up a lil more on ur technical knowledge, air box is the box that contains the air filter. and the power box which u mention is called a intake resonator and is located perpendicular to the intake flow btwn the carb and intake port

ya!!!!
sorry on that bro,that is intake resonator my mistake!!!!!!!!!!!

your friend had a TVS fiero or TVS fiero F2

listen to your heart and buy bike which is most appealing to you

both bikes are good untill you respect it

well i was in the same dillema....but now everything is clear and i have also got my rtr 160 refresh delivered.....awsome bike....but im having a small problem with it.....whenever i start the bike and roll....it suddenly stops....may b its due to me being novice to these type of bikes......or may b due to the front disk brakes....i dont knw actually......can u guyz help me out...and suggest me some easy way learning of such bikes..

TD the bikes for 10mins.. you will know which one you want ! i was in the same dilemma.. now i have a fz.. everything is great handling ride comfort etc except performance.. and not really a highway runner !
