Shell Advance AX7 600042667 10W-40 API SM Synthetic Technology Motorbike Engine Oil (1 L) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00QK6RF0Q/..._IhgcDbDPT9R7R

Is this engine oil good for the apache rtr 200?

Trust me if you have rubbing compound and machine and you know how to rub over different surfaces to eliminate the Circles and swrils. You must order 9H coating FROM AliExpress for around 300/- and TRY DIY.

Got Delivery of my 200 4V with ABS last weekend. I am maintaining RPM up to 5k in my runin period. Hope this is fine. Hope I need to follow this till my first service and then increase up to 7k RPM till 1500 kms.

Planned to install the ladies foot rest. The dealership I got my bike in chennai doesnot have the part number N9324640. I just got the saree guard. Can anyone post some pictures who has fitted ladies foot rest.

Just wanted to know how this will be attached to the saree guard?

I did get my user manual but had to return it to them because it was very old stock and torn everywhere. apart from the RPM is there anything i need to maintain in specific.

Congrats on your new bike. Apart from the RPM there is nothing you need to lookout for.

It's fine...go for BRILLIANT TVS near selaiyur as I found the service response was way good and maybe you could get the aforementioned footrest part there!!

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hi Guys. I'm really in a weird delimma here. I live in Pune and recently had multiple punctures on rear tyre. Since my bike has already crossed 15K KM mark, I decided to change the rear tire. After a lot of research, I was all set for buying Michelin Pilot Street 130/70 R17. But to my suprise I could not find this tire with the dealers around Wakad. So I went for Michelin Pilot Sporty 140/70 R17 instead. I thought since Michelin has a name and a good brand this tire will also be good, however after reaching home I researched and read some reviews. And everywhere I read it's mentioned that this tire has a NO GRIP on wet surface. Since it's Pune and the rainy season is almost here, I'm very much hesitant to ride with this tire as some reviews even mentioned that it's very dangerous to ride with this tire on wet roads.
I don't want to end up in a hospital as I have to ride 40 KMs to office and back every day.
The Tire dealer is Metro Tires near Jagtap dairy in Pimple Saudagar. I don't know if it's possible to return the just purchased tire. Need suggestions here.

Thanks in Advance.

Try MRF Massetter for rear and FY1 for front. Those are proven beast for apache 200.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

I have this bike for 2 years now. I never really had any major issues with the bike untill recently. The mileage has dropped suddenly, exhaust note has changed drastically. I have maintained the bike well with regular servicing and cleaning.
The worst part of owning a TVS bike is its Service and parts availability. Service centers are almost always clueless about the issues on bike and how to fix them. sic... My last TVS bike for sure.

Is the sound comes when you release the accelerator?

Yes, there is little sound when I accelerate but increases as I release the throttle. SVC told me that my muffler has become lose or broken and they cannot repair it and they have to replace the full exhaust. They said it would cost me around 9K. Not sure if they really understood the actual issue. Please help if you have some experience with issue like this.

In my bike the issue was with front sprocket and improper chain slack.
After they cleaned the front sprocket (which they haven't done during service, which is really worst) and adjusted the slack and lubricated (Again not done during service) it was fine. Whether the noise coming from engine side or from rear on the muffler?

Its coming from the rear of the bike, from the silencer.

Do not blindly believe on the feedback shared by other user, compared to Michelin Pilot Street Pilot Sporty does offer lower grip level but its not as bad as you're thinking. You should have gone for Michelin Pilot Street 140 size instead of this, however as you've already got the tyre try this for sometime and I am sure you'd realize that its not that bad.
