Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

No. Yesterday the SVC mechanic told me that it may be faulty so I got it checked. It was okay and today the mechanic called me saying that my bike is okay. There were some loose connections that caused the trouble. Yesterday when he was checking, saw that there was no current coming out of the ignition coil so he thought that may be its damaged. I am going to take back my bike tomorrow.

Though igniion coils last a long time, I'd suggest you to check the connectors that come from the CDI box and also the lead of the coil itself. Sometimes, the connectors might nto have plugged in properly. Also, the lead might be loose. Do get all these things throughly checked before replacing the ignition coil.

Behold the Apache RTR RR 310S (a bit too small &#128514
from the looks of it,seems it will be getting radial mounted callipers,300mm disc up front.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

This looks like the Secondary Air Injection tube. the heat exchange will be below the tank. Please clip this back, else you are letting dust into the intake.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Hi Guys,

I'm noticing an annoying problem with the gearbox. Whenever my come to a halt from a higher gear (3, 4 or 5), I'm unable to down-shift and the shifter feels jammed, I have to shake or move the bike a bit to get it to shift properly.

Anyone else have this problem? What's the solution?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

I fitted the tube into the golden colour thin metal L bend as another user pointed out. Thats where it belongs right?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Slight throttle blipping during downshifts will help.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

So I noticed this prominent squeaking sound coming from the rear suspension every time I moved around the seat while stationary. Basically the sound of a creaky bed when a newly wedded couple are going at it.

Concerned at it being something major, I headed to the SVC earlier today to get it checked out. I was informed by the head mechanic that it's a common 'issue' among the RTR200s. The sound is being made by "a dried out ball bearing where the swingarm connects to the chassis"

They then proceeded to spray some lubricant after unscrewing a panel and the sound disappeared. Happy at the issue being resolved, I rode back to my office and by the time I reached, found that the sound was back again! 😬😬😬😬.

Considering its not having any adverse effects on performance and ride quality or being heard much when in motion, I'm not too keen on heading back to the SVC and pointing it out again until the next service. But it is not doubt an irritant and hopefully TVS will find a permanent solution to this.

On a related note, new versions of the sensor for the gear position indicator are now arriving and this should resolve the niggles being faced by some of the existing owners.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

I think instead using some lubricant they should have applied some grease on it... that would be much better than any lube.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Exactly my thoughts too! But I guess accessing the affected bearing with grease is too much work for our wonderful SVC mechanics. Therefore they keep trying their luck with a lube spray and a straw pipe. Hence I am now riding a motorbike which sounds brilliant on the move but funny when stationary. 😬

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Hahhahaha 😂😂... No worries, just make sure you remind them on your upcoming servicing.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Last to first. Yes, that golden color bend pipe is where that tube belongs. Don't worry. Coming to your first problem, yes sometimes the gears resist slotting, in that case, as fellow member mentioned, rev match, shift up and shift down again, this way, the dogs engage more effectively. But try throttle blipping it brings the gear upto speed.

Ali, I am skeptical as to it's really the swing arm bearings. I suspect this has to do with the wheel bearings. In the video I posted back, the user mentioned the issue was solved by replacing the wheel bearing, which of course was sans lubrication. Swing arm bearings only help in pivoting and one can clearly feel the creaking noise by pressing the bike which works the swingarm. On the contrary if you rotate your wheel, when the bike is on its center stand, and if you find this sound emanating, then it has to do with the wheel's rotational components as opposed to the, i.e bearings, and not the static swingarm.

I'd suggest you get a detailed check done. And also, you mentioned some sounds were emanating from your engine. So, has that been sorted or was it just a phobia

Cheers!

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Thanks for the guidance .

I did actually thoroughly check the squeaky issue, it can only be heard prominently when stationary as I moving around on the seat while the bike is switched off. It surely wasn't there till yesterday. The mechanic also was already aware of this as it's been reported on a number of bikes that come in for service. It's either the swingarm or the rear monoshock for sure.

No others sounds anywhere. The sound from the wheel has completely disappeared after the last wash and I guess it was due to some dirt stuck either on the axle or the rear disc. The engine is running beautifully and no issues whatsoever there.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Beautiful. If you hear the squeaking sound when compressing the rear end of the bike, yes then we have de-greased bearings. There are chances a de-greased bearing can in fact jam as water enters and starts rusting those delicate bearings. Try getting them greased at the local trusted mechanic if you're not able to visit the SVC.

[MENTION=77131]ALI.R[/MENTION] ...please suggest if pulsar AS windshield could be fitted in fz25 just like you fitted in your rtr200?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

I am sure it can be fitted, provided you can get/make the appropriate clamps. I had it on my Fz16 also and it worked great.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Could u post close shots of mounts & clamp? It will be of great help.
