Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
How successful and reliable is a block+piston change job on the RTR200 from an average mechanic.
Anyone with experience of the same ?

I won't pay anything above 50k for same. Best buy at 45k. Goodluck.

Unfortunately, the difference between the two where I live is a tad too much. Upwards of 20K. 10K would have been fine by me to be honest.
For now, have found some nice low-mileage (~10k km) 2017 RTR200s for ~₹60k. Non-ABS and Carb of course.Leave a comment:

Tried a few of them, no luck. Local stores in hyd don't even understand what it is.Originally posted by sreejesh613 View PostLeave a comment:

Try your luck with honda asc. Unicorn Bleeder screw part number: 45352-KCC-841.Originally posted by Vipergts07 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Yeh. Most asc just recommend changing the whole caliper unit instead of changing the internals, leads to a higher bill amount for novices. Haven't been able to get a bleeder screw replacement because of this as I have been unable to find a service center which stocks it.Originally posted by TarunSundar View PostLeave a comment:

It costed me around 310 for master cylinder and 250 for the caliber Orings.Originally posted by Vipergts07 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
That's the easy way out which they follow. A kit called the master cylinder replacement kit changes out the moving parts in the disc brake, costs about 4-500 odd. Tvs parts may be more or less.Originally posted by vins1120 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
In our local market for used bikes, there is no difference between price of race and old v1 RTR200. Even if there is a slight difference of 10k, it's well worth it. Goodluck.Originally posted by eternoMind View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
15K! that's too much. I think the shaft assembly costs around 1.5K - 2K (https://www.tvsmotor.com/parts/apache200.aspx) + engine packings around 300-400 + engine oil + labour charges. Overall it should be around 5-6k approx. Hopefully they have provided itemized bill to you.Originally posted by badari259 View Post
IMO 3-4 isolated incidents cannot be quality issues. However do let us know what TVS has to say about it.Leave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Thanks for the quick reply mate. Race Edition RTR 200s are delicious but they were launched in 2018, which means a relatively higher price in the used market (80K and above). Were the niggles with the initial editions really that widespread and bad? In fact, that's the main reason why I'm avoiding 2016 launch year RTR200s. Was hoping things would have been fixed MY2017 onwards.Originally posted by badari259 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience
Owners of this immensely fun bike, please help me become one. I'm out in the market looking for a used RTR 200. Which model year should I opt for to strike a good balance between price and low mileage/good condition (which rules out 2019 bikes). I saw a few 2017 specimens with 10-12K km ODO reading in very good condition for ₹60-70K.Leave a comment:
