Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

TVS synthetic oil costs Rs.550/ltr whereas motul 7100 costs Rs.770/ltr. RTR200 needs 1.2litres of engine oil, thats why SVC quoted Rs.700 for TVS oil which is still lesser than motul's 1 litre cost.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hi guys,

Gave my bike for first free service. Going to collect it in the evening. Service center guy told me the oil is going to cost around 700rs (TVS synthetic oil) Is it that expensive? Motul seems better option for that price.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

The aftermarket oils used mostly in this bike are Motul 5100, 7100 and 300V. I've seen various drain intervals being quoted for each of these oils, so I refrain from commenting on that. Other oils that can be used are Mobil1, Liqui Moly Street/Street Race. About the oil grade, you can use 10w30, 10w40 or 5w40.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

For the 4th point, Give sometime to the break. It will have the jibe post 1000-1200km on odo. Meanwhile, ask svc to do the proper cleaning of the brakes. My way is apply 60-70% pressure on front and remaining on rear.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience


Hi Irfan

Can answer only on Point 2 & 3 as I have FI variant without ABS.

The ODO starts showing TRIP-F automatically once the Low Fuel indicator glows, after running for 0.5-1 .0 KM distance (with the indicator glowing). I have run upto 60 KM once the low fuel indicator glowed (in conservative mode) with some fuel still available and i usually get an average of 38 KMPL. So the reserve should be approximately 2.5 L

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hi Apachians; my Bike have done 758Kms in 2 full Fuel Refill. Last night my bike got in to Reserve mode. where I have noticed something abnormal.

2. Today morning my bike got into TRIP-F, what is that? on how Much fuel odo shows it?

3. 200 4V Fuel tank reserve capacity is 2.5 ltr?? ryt or wrong

4. I'm lacking confidence on rear brakes due to ABS. what to do!! they are not as effective as Apache 160. I feel so.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hey. Not been active for a while and not ridden much either over the last year or so. Hopefully that will change soon. So I got this done by this brilliant dude who only does lighting work. And having seen how it needed to be done, I would recommend a lot of caution and patience if one is to go ahead with the projector mod. Primarily because the headlight casing on the RTR is tiny and almost fits nothing apart from stock bulbs or cheapo Leds. So the guy had to carefully grind/cut out a bit of plastic inside the casing to make more room and fit the projector/shroud.

My setup was sourced from https://feretrofit.com and cost 7000/- inclusive of installation charges.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the headlight visor holds and doesn't crack much as it's a tight fit with almost no breathing space inside. That is why I am thinking of buying a spare headlight casing and keeping it just in case it goes sideways. The same guy had done a projector set-up on my old FZ16 and it held perfectly for more that 2 years before I sold the bike off. So it should work this time too.

Apart from the projector mod, I have managed to improve the braking performance by simply using a Pulsar 220 (BS4) steel braided brake line instead of the rubbish stock on. That is one change I'd recommend to all.

Finally, my trusty neighborhood mechanic just completed converting someone's non slipper clutch RTR 200 to a Slipper-clutch one by installing the updated gear box (with minor amendments)available at TVS workshops. I am trying to get hold of the owner and take a spin and if I find it to be working like slipper clutches should, will post an update here.

Cheers.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

I'm looking to install a switch for my headlight and over time, may also change the visor and do other stuff. Can anyone please point me to a really good mechanic in Mumbai for my TVS Apache RTR 200 4V? (Bhandup, Nahur, Mulund or Thane regions work for me)

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Tell them to do the oil change in front of you
