  • Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

    Hiii

    I own Apache 200 4v ABS purchased 6 months ago. Iam facing issue with rear brake. It pumps, However it's not being applied properly and also it skids.

    I would like to know the best ASC in Bangalore.

    I heard that most of the service mechanics we're not well trained in repairing an ABS bike.

    Requesting your help. Kindly suggest best ASC in Bangalore and do me the needful.

      Hi,

      I am facing an Issue. I am done with my first service of my Apache 200 Carb 2017 version. It has clocked 800kms on speedometer. Day before yesterday forgot to remove the side stand due to which bike fell one side(left side). It was a very light fall, nothing major happened. But now my Damber handle weight of handle bar is a little sideways on the left side. Can I fix that at home or i need to visit service center?

      Another issue I'm facing is that bike is kind of missing when i try to pick up in 3rd gear. It just gives one jerk like the engine is off for less than a second. Would that be due to the fall?

        Remove the damper out and straighten or replace the lengthy screw that holds it.
        For missing check the Authorized service centre.

          But kerosene/diesel is much good to clean the drivechain !!
          Can we use turpentine oil for cleaning chains because i have them in abundance???

          Did you get the quote?. I bought them From SVC with a price of Rs.588.

            Hello fellow xBhpians,

            I own a RTR200 2017 edition.
            Could someone point me to the things that i need to check and/or be wary of when my bike is already due for 5th servicing.

            I'm asking this bcoz in recent 4-5 months, i have been using it sparingly and current ODO reading is ~8200 km (4th servicing at 7000 km, 3+ months back)

            Apart from the usual chain, handling, switches, brake cleaning, i feel that i need to replace the engine oil as its looking more on the black side and thin.

            Till date only once i have replaced the full oil, and rest only top-up as bike didn't require it.
            And, if oil change is required, which one should i choose ?

            Also, any help with the side stand being too slant? i always have to park my bike on double stand as the side stand feels very slant and i fear that bike might fall in many situations

            TIA

                  I think they have cheated me. I was curious of my new bike and hesitated to check them in other showrooms. BTW I am new to this blog too..
