Check the slackness of the chain. It may need adjustment and lubrication.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hi guys. New to xbhp here. Just got a few questions to ask
1. Can you upsize the tires from 90/90 17 and 130/70 17 to 100/80 17 or 110/70 17 and 140/70 17 on the Apache 200?
2. And if doing so would require me to make changes in the sprocketing?
3. Also, which are some of the best tires available for these sizes (or close). I ride pretty hard and it consists of highway and city with rides of upto 80km or more per day.
I've shortlisted the Pirelli Angel GT's, CT's and Sport Demons. Thought about the Metzeler M5 Sportec.
Awaiting your responses.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

I have a 2016 rtr 200 and recently it started giving me issue for the first time in 2 years.

Bike Jerk at 4k-5k rpm in all gear, like there is no fuel left also when you accelerate initially it feels like there is no power and then there is sudden jerk and the bike shoots after that and then when it reaches arount 4.5K rpm it loses power again.

I have taken it to SC twice and they fiddled with some settings stating it should not happen again. Please help, I am clueless here. Initially I thought something is wrong with the spark plug so got it replaced with new ones. Still the issue remains.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

did you check engine oil level?

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Yes, engine oil level is fine. Got it serviced 2 weeks back and engine oil changed after i started getting this issue.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hi everyone,

I recently become a proud owner of TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BSIV Carb Variant. I took delivery of the bike on 28th Oct in Dehradun from BM TVS, Rajpur road. So the first problem I face was right after I took it to my home from the TVS Showroom. I filled the tank with Rs 500 petrol and took it straight to my home which was around 5 KMS. Once I reached and put the bike on side stand petrol started leaking from below the tank. I was shocked as why it was happening. I immediately called Showroom and asked the guy to visit my home to check it ASAP. The service guys came and checked the bike, then they told me that they need to take the bike back to service center to check. they've no idea regarding the issue. At this point I already have lost half a liter of petrol. So thy took it and came back next day.(when i put petrol it had 5 bars, after they got it back it only had 2 bars left) The reason they told me was that the Carburetor was overflowing and leaking the petrol from there so they've changed the carburetor. I was shocked as it was a new bike standing in the showroom for a while. It came to my mind that may thy gave me a Test drive vehicle as ODO was showing 4.5 kms in the showroom which they said that it was due to shifting of bikes from another showroom.

So that happened. Now I was expecting issues to come because of this, BUT, it's been 20 days and facing no issues so far. I brought the bike to Delhi day before yesterday from Dehradun and the ride was amazing, only issue I faced was with my legs sleeping which might be because it's been long since I've driven this far on bike. I started from Dehradun 6 in the morning, went to Dat Kali mandir to get my bike some tilak which is a good luck as I've been told. I reached Delhi 11:30 AM. It was an amazing ride, some obstacles as road construction is going on from Chutmalpur till Roorkee. Apart from that it's an amazing Highway to cruise on. I maintained 75-90 Kms/hr on the spedometer for most of the time. But Apache being Apache, I had to go above that sometimes. I clocked a top speed of 121 kms/hr, I know I shouldn't pushed bike this much in initial stage. It was one time when I forgot how fast I'm going. Bike had no issues, and I reached on time as well.

Today I thought why not check the average bike is giving as I've 411kms on Odo. Since I've purchased this bike I've put 9 ltrs petrol out of which 8.6 is used which gave me an Average of 47.6kms/ ltrs which I guess is pretty amazing with all the issues I faced initially. Now my daily commute is 40kms back and forth from Delhi to Noida, that too coming back is in the morning at 4 AM. I'll check the average again after first service. So this is my first experience with TVS Apache. Till now I'm satisfied with what I get from this bike. Will share more information after first service.

I've one question though, any suggestion as to what I should tell the service guy to take care of, as I've already pushed the bike so much. Feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Could u please share the model number and price of your wind screen. And where can one get it from ? And pls do share a pic from the front view

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

It is the Pulsar AS200 windshield. You can get it from a Bajaj showroom. I guess it costs less than 500 bucks. You'll need to do some modifications to fix it.
