    Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

    I have booked a TVS Apache 200 4v at Hare Krishna TVS, Mumbai. I learned that the bike has been allocated yesterday. I will make the rest of the payment tomorrow. I wanted to know what I should check at the time of the delivery.

      Apart from the basics, do check out the PDI thread.

      PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) Thread - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community
      https://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcycle-ownership-experiences/31717-pdi-pre-delivery-inspection-thread.html
      After receiving quite a number of PDI queries on numerous ownership threads, I've decided to amalgamate my experience, articles, snippets from different sources, from around the web into a single concise article, for folks who are getting their first two-wheeler. This post is not just limited to motorcycles, but should serve as


      Cheers!

      Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
      The girl said, 'NO!'


      And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


      THE END

Also the bike had 136 on odo when I bought it. No idea how much the SVC guys rev the bikes while servicing. But I believe it won't do much harm.Check out the MC garage video on engine break-in.
        Seen it long time ago. Afaik it was inconclusive. Both ways of run-in don't show too much difference initially. Needs to be a mix of both with gentle acceleration. 0 to 100 can be 20 secs and not 6 secs. Then it makes sense.

                Many people are using Motul 5100 and 7100 on their 200 4v. 300v is an overkill for this bike. No idea about other oils.

                  But 7100 does not have 10w30 or 5w30. Closest grade which is available is 10w40. I'm not interested on 5100 as it's only semi synthetic

                    Don't go by the mineral/semi-synthetic/synthetic thingy. You can actually use the 10w40. People are even using 7100 15w50 (though I'd recommend to stick to the grade) on this bike.

                    I guess that your bike is new. It's better to stick to the stock oil for 1 year or 12k kms (till the free services are over).

                    If you want, I will DM you the link of the Apache 200 WhatsApp group. You'll get to know more about engine oils there.

                      Have a look at Idemitsu Fully synthetic oil 10w40 also. I heard some good comments from many local mechanics in my area. The price is around Rs.425/ltr which seems to be lesser than some semi synthetic oils.

                        Thanks....mine is just a month old. Reason why i want to move out of stock oil, I drive 70 km a day and feels stock oil is not doing good for it. Moreover stock is also synthetic oil, so there should not be any problem in switching to other brand.

                            The stock mount is not very suitable for clip-ons. Hence got this custom made.

                            What do you guys think?

                                Well my bike is in the showroom since last 10 days
                                Here is the history for last 10 days


                                Delivered the bike for service on 13th to local svc at 23450kms
                                Note given that bike was miss firing so told to clean the carb

                                15th sat bike was given back saying air screw is not opening and they donot have any spare right now so will call when the spare arrive
                                But after taking the bike home it was not in running condition as rpm were going haywire and not reducing even after pressing the clutch .so it was accident prone.

                                So raised the complaint to tvs on their twitter handle which was registered on sunday the 16th.

                                On Monday the 17th delivered the bike to svc and told to correct the bike and the. Only deliver the bike as it was not rideable.
                                Got a call on friday about the bike from a guy regards to bike that still the air screw is not opening and carb needs to replaced and will be done by company cost.


                                Today is 24th and still waiting for the bike. ...
