Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Successfully completed a 1000 trip this past weekend.
Unlike last time, this time around, entire trip was on the 4 way highway.
Bike was butter smooth in the highway. No vibe whatsoever.
Kept the speed between 85-90, as the bike feels more comfortable at that speed.
During the last trip the bike tank was vibrating, this time around there was no such issue.
Guess the engine was relatively new last time (600 km at odo)
Gave bike to 2nd service today at 3500 KM in odo. SVC didn't bother about the kms in odo.
Reported the fuel leaking from tank cap, they said that they will check.
SVC said they will replace the engine oil, but in the manual it was specified only top up.
Whether they will really change it or only collect money specifying it was done without doing so?
How to verify that the engine oil is replaced?

Lol no problem. I'll get it checked with svc next week on first service. Hopefully it's nothing serious.Originally posted by msrb1984 View Post
And do you have any idea how many times 1 bottle of motul lube can be used? It comes in a 400ml bottle and I'm pretty new to this, so I don't exactly know how much to spray. So could you give me a rough idea.Leave a comment:

My bad.... Typo error on abc. I tried to type svc but it converted to abc.Originally posted by w4rrior View Post
Gear oils are good and cheaper but it's dust magnet.
Even i dont ride on dirt , but on high way still its attracts dust.Leave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Since the bike is new, I didn't lube it yet. So I don't know if it's chain lube. Sorry, but can you please tell me what's abc?Originally posted by msrb1984 View Post
As for oil, might switch to 300v later, but i think I'll change it to 7100 now.
I've heard about people using gear oil for chain lube, is it any good? Motul seems to be kind of expensive. I don't ride much in dirt, It's mostly well paved roads here.Leave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Guys, any ideas on how much the whole headlight assembly of the Rtr200 would cost? Basically the whole head except the instrument cluster and indicators.Leave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Since the screw is jammed completely the only way is put drill and take out screw. And fix a new one. I did not like that option so told them to replace it. Let me see the response. Mech said they can do since it svc fault. I'm yet to talk to the managerOriginally posted by ayrus View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Update on my carb issue: Checked with another svc. AFR screw is jammed. Either it needs to be replaced or entire carb assembly. I asked them to replace carb itself. Initially they refused stating carb won't come in warranty. Still waiting for responseOriginally posted by msrb1984 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
That should be excess chain lube if you have sprayed it recently ie, may be day or 2 before. Otherwise you need to check with abc.Originally posted by w4rrior View Post
New engine needs time to settle. It will reduce post 1st service.
You can go for 7100 or 300v 10w40. Depends on your budget.
All chain spray comes at similar cost range. I tried nikavi lube. Its not that good Compared to motul. Motul will last for atleast 400 kms.Leave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Quick update on my bike; completed 350kms, getting it serviced next week. Still didn't get the owners manual. Gears are getting smoother and better (they were smooth in the first place). Found a small issue, there's a oil leak near front sprocket area and in the side stand. I don't think it's coming from engine, can anybody let me know what it is?
Also touched 80kmph couple of times, there are little vibes at that speed. Any way to reduce it? And as for engine oil, I'm thinking of going with motul 7100 10w40. Any other suggestions? Finally, please suggest me a chain lube. Affordable ones would be fine, motul C2 is kind of expensive.Leave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
That is how the ABS is supposed to work. Based on your description, it seems that you rely a bit too much on the rear brake.Originally posted by Mohd Irfan View Post
And the brake noise is commom in this bike, even in non ABS models. But it won't be noticable most of the time.Leave a comment:
