Nope. I just liked red and white. I didn't ask anything. Search for susheel tvs. Call them. If they have it, everyone has it.bcoz they get the stock first.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Guys my bike's handle bar has become heavy. Went on a ride to Sikkim through some extreme bad roads and very heavy rains. After coming home it was alright but the next day handle had become heavy. What should I do?

Check the fork razor ball kit... it may require greasing and re-adjustment. Also check the front tyre for under inflation.

Check the tire pressure first.

Yeah, we do choke for all the time to start the vehicle . Till now 650 Kms on odo

I want to know the reason why it occurs ?

Can you tell me this may be the reason
1. We park vehicle outside and temperature in Bangalore at night time is 22 degree

But if the outside temperature is the reason why it occurs when we park vehicle at underground and in day time ?

Try to increase the idle rpm to 1.2k

Starting trouble? Please go into more detail about the problems you face.

Presuming that the carburetor has not been fiddled with.

It is not a mandatory requirement that a motorcycle should fire in the first go after sitting idle for a couple of hours, so be patient.

Make sure that steady idle at the first start of the day is at 1.1k RPM or more taking the decompressor into consideration, sometimes when extremely hot the RPM may go up to 2k, don't bother about it, just make sure that the idle after a cold start is above the minimum threshold.

You don't need to use Choke every time, I've ridden my CT100B around the country covering 14 states and the only morning I really needed choke was when we were starting from Behror, Rajasthan as it was a really chilly morning, other than that I've not required the choke to start up my motorcycle, even after the motorcycle has been idle for over a week.

It’s common with carbureted engines. Use choke while staring and make the engine to idle for few seconds to get warmed up.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Guys, i have kept my bike idle for a week for and tried to get it started today. I couldn't start the bike, even after multiple tries (for around 15 - 20 mins. I also tried choke for around a minute, but no luck). I was able to crank the engine, but engine is not coming to life. I inspected the bike spark plug, to my surprise, the spark plug was very wet. Looks like the engine oil on the spark plug. What could be the issue.

That could be fuel you see on the spark plug, might sound counter-intuitive but you are not supposed to use the Choke unless you actually require it i.e it is dead cold.

If there is too much fuel inside the cylinder then the motorcycle would not start, its called 'Flooding the motor', first sign of this is that you'd start to smell fuel, so when that happens you would have to crank the motor with the throttle wide open, what this does it result in temporarily create a lean state i.e let more air into the motor that would help ignite the fuel in the cylinder.

Do try it out and let me know.
