    Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

    I have purchased a used apache rtr 200. I was getting 35kmpl during initial days (I rode it on highways for a couple of kilometres). Now in the city I am struggling to get 25kmpl.

    I also have a feeling that fuel is leaking from the tank. My bike stays in the sun for most of the day. Can there be a evaporating issue?

      The fuel tank comes equipped with anti-vaporizer ! I hope it isn't a problem .

      (But Parking in rainy areas will cause rusting of metal parts!!!!)


      Reg. Mileage you should change the engine oil , spark plugs, air filter if necessary.

          Which engine oil do you guys use for apache 200? Which engine oil is the best?

          Which engine oil does official service centres use? I tried asking the, they don't give anything specific. They just said we use tvs synthetic oil. I was charged 638 rs for the engine oil. Any idea which oil are they using?

              SVC Generally use TVS TRU 4 SYNTHETIC OIL IN Apache 200 & 160 4v models . The price you've mentioned is right and it can be ridden somewhere between
              4K-5K Kms .

                Hii guys,
                Anyone facing chain noise issues? Everytime the bike hits a pothole or slightest unevenness on road there is a khat khat noise. It's from chain. Like chain hitting something. I got it checked from svc. After adjusting chain slack and applying lubes also same problem persists. Sound gets worse with a pillion. Svc guy told me it's normal. It's just noise from chain slider. Is it? Mine is a 18 model completed 6000 kms only.

                  If you are saying that the noise is coming when the bike hits the pothole then please check properly it may not be because of chain but can be because for swing arm hitting the main body. check any of the both sides footrest inner part hitting the main chassis part. check for markings.

                      You need clean and lube the chain every 400-500 kms based on the dust you accumulate on your chain.
                      First for removing the dust and grease residue, use diesel/kerosene (kerosene is more recommended) with a spray bottle, then wipe your chain with cotton cloth.
                      Then you can use any lube spray/gear oil for lubing.
                      If it is gear oil you are using, it needs to re-applied every 150-200 km, it wears out quickly also it will be messy while applying. If you are patient enough with the process, gear oil is mostly recommended.
                      Or you can always use lube spray. Even though everyone recommend motul chain spray, I find it costly and doesn't see much difference from other lube sprays.
                      I started using TVS tru spray and it is good enough and value for money kind of thing.

                      Happy Biking!!

                        1st service is done on my rtr200 and it has just completed 1500kms and both front shockers are leaking oil. Is this repair come under warranty? What parts come under warranty, like handle coneset, piston-rings, rear shocker etc? just asking because i am now concerned about the bike's quality.

                          Both Front forks leaking oil within 1500 km is really unusual. Usually oil seals doesn't come under warranty. But as this problem occured within first service It must be replaced free cost covering under warranty.

                              When I checked with Dealership, I was informed I will be getting the vehicle manufactured in the month of Feb,2019. Is this fine?

                                Feb 2019 month should be fine. Make sure it is not a test ride bike. More information on PDI here --> https://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcy...on-thread.html
