    Faced same issue of shutting down the bike all of a sudden but it was starting after 20-30 minutes, once it was not even started, using starter multiple time resulted into battery failure and had to replace battery. Service center guys did push start of bike to take it to showroom that caused another impact of Display failure, I got display replaced but still there is problem like mode sensor does not work. It's been 2.5 years I am using the bike showroom guys did not even found the solution for bike shutting down issue as well as display issue, they were just restarting ECU and saying might need to replace ECU. Replacing ECU it will change whole wiring of bike. So I gave a try outside garrage , after showing to many people one guy found the issue, he said there would be carbon contamination over piston rings or over valves. So once he sprayed DW40 sprey into outlet pipe, it worked. After 6 months again same problem occurred this time he poured oil into compression chamber. by removing spark plug he poured the oil. This also worked.To get complete rid of the problem we might need to open the engine and clean up engine head and valves.

    I recenty bought a TVS apache rtr 160 4v bs6. Its been hardly 4 months but my bike is having some issues.The engine automatically gets switched off while running. Doesnt happen always. Happens once or twice. I paid a visit to 3 service centres but the service centre guys seems to have no clue regarding the issue. I am fed up. Does any apache owner facing the same issue as mine ? If so, please kindly share your review and please let me know if you have found any solution to it. I searched the net..Some say we need to update the ECU if this kind of problems occur. I am confused

    Facing the same issue, I have other problems too.... The bike won't go beyond 80km/hr speed. After suddenly gets off in the middle of the road when I start the bike again it throws some white smoke. For the 1st 4-5 months the service centre guys said that it's nothing, it will go off after sometime. Today at 3rd servicing the service engineer said that engine piston may have some fault and drinking the mobil more than normal so need to replace it.
