I own a TVS Apache, Everything is good in this bike except with the gears. It makes al lot of sound, The sound would be like beating of an empty tinm can..you will feel as if the whole gear box is falling in the empty drum. Shifting gear downwards is smooth (1-2-3-4-5) but the reverse is really pathetic. it gets stuck very often...reaching Neutral is always a problem. Even after stopping you need to try 2-3 time to reach the neutral. I am done with two servicing now, before handing it for servicing I had specifically asked them to work on the gear problem but I was told that all apache has this problem and it cant be corrected fully, probably it will get Ok by itself (Surprising !!!)..
Apart from the gears, other accessories are cheap, the black plastic behind the indicators are crumbling down on its own due to cheap quality.
One more problem with Apache is it does not sometimes self start in gears, if the bike stops in high gears it sometimes doesnot self start, you need to bring it down to neutral to use self startt.
But Still, I love my Apache just because of Looks, Speed and milage (50 kmpl)
