    Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

    Hi all, I'm Kushagra Sengar owner of 2017 tvs apache rtr200, the motorcycle is a wonderful product however the after sales is really poor in Northen part of India, I'm living in lucknow and today itself i went to the main service center of tvs which is speed tvs and i asked if there is an availability of headlight housing and break line of the rtr200 and the spare part supervisor asked me to look in the local motor market and leave the service center, i've been calling the customer care since morning no one is there to pick my call up and now i am completely blank as of what to do.
    Agreed that the matte colour has stopped in production but this is not the way you treat customers... need support and suggestions as what to do now. :/

    The bike s tyres are both the stock remoras if that's what you re asking. I think the stock size is 130/70 17 iirc, I wish to tour a little on the bike with a pillion which tyre would you suggest? Cornering isn't the main requirement.
    Thanka

    Plus if chain set is messed up then he probably did used the bike rash.

Can you guys suggest if I should stick with the remoras or get something else entirely? I did search through this thread earlier and saw some suggestions like Masseter.
    Also curious how much does the chain sprocket set costs, trying to find how much more the upkeep would be for this bike compared to my old pulsar. Is there any price list for spare parts for this bike?

    Really can't say that.. I own RTR 200, I can spot many flaws in RTR 160.
    Starting from the paint scheme to way you open the seat.

    Just like KTM. They provide the same quality irrespective of it is 125cc or 390cc. But they draw the premium for the quality they provide. Which is acceptable.

Have observed a lot of fairing rattles on the RS200 in our bikers group.

    I you were to observe the rear indicators of the fz/fz25 or for that matter any other yamaha or bajaj bike on the road you will invariably see that indicators rattling when the bike is moving. Not so on a Honda. The finish of the fibre parts on a Honda may not look premium but is certainly decently built IMO.
    IMO the fibre parts on an Apache seems to be one of the better built bikes wrt fit and finish.

    Hornet was the most horrible one. I felt like I can just rip apart the parts with bare hand.

    I am not sure about cutting oil but as per the mechanic there is no O ring and hence he asked me clean with ordinary cloth and apply the lube.

    I see , but I don't have an idea of selling it..... eventhough If I upgrade to another one!!!
