    Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

    Just got to know Masseters doesnt come with 130 section. They have mentioned 140 section for Apache 200.
    Pirelli has Angel City in 130/70/17 & Sports Demon. Rest of Pirelli series are too expensive to consider (atleast for me).

    There is another brand Timsun Tyres & I heard all the good about them. Might wanna consider them too.

        Has anyone here got the clutch plates of the bike changed?

        I am facing these issues

        1. Engines heats up very fast and very quickly. A 3-5km stroll in the city and my engine temperature soars up
        2. I am feeling a lack of throttle response. The pickup and and overall power seems to have dropped significantly. I have to open the throttle really wide to feel some power.
        3. Drop in mileage.

        Service centre told me that these things are happening because I have burnt my clutch plates and are quoting me 3.5k cost to change them

        My bike has completed 19k kms, and it hasn't been ridden rough for the most part.

              Yeah, dont wish to upsize. I live in raipur I don't think I would get those tinsuns here, besides i think they seem to be soft compound tyres. Theres a ceat radial tyre for our bike though for around 3100 on amazon. Ceat Zoom Rad 130/70 R17 62H Tubeless have you hears of this ?

                Never compromise on quality when it comes to tyres. Always pick soft compound tyres as they have better grips. Though they might have lesser life but they give u satisfaction of safety. I can't say about this particular tyre but I had Ceat Vertigo tyre & man that was hard tyre. It tends to slip quite much & I fear for life.
                If not getting Timsun locally, try getting it online. Don't go with cheap ones. Pirelli sports demon is also available on Amazon yet they are giving it cheap too. Mind it that tyre is 2015 manufactured.

                  What about tyre changes on ABS models? Whether the exact size is needed or we can upsize? Whether it will impact seriously on ABS calculations? Need recommendations.

                    Afaik tyre width has no relation to ABS. Fatter tyre means bigger patch but generally it's good to use recommend tyres. Going 10mm over the recommended won't hurt at all (atleast in rear tyre). Just keep in mind to check the air pressure.

                      Looks like the bike is running either too lean or too rich. Before Changing the clutch plates first change the carburettor setting from some other mechanic or by yourself if you have some knowledge. Even youtube videos could help you in this. After that if you still have problems then change the clutch plates. But i think 3.5k is expensive. I think it is in the range of 2 - 2.5k. Please also check with other ASC.

                      But i think changing the settings should solve your problem. ASC guys just fool people for making money.

                        I recently upgraded to 140 rear section tyre, now I dont know what tyre pressure recommended for rear. Previously I used to fill it to 32 psi (as i usually ride with a pillion).
                        Any suggestions.

                            Hey Rahul, can you let know which 140 section tyres did you fit for the rear and what about the front tyre?
                            Please share any performance difference or problems you have experienced. Thanks!

                              For those who are looking into 140 rear section tyres. This is one good option.

                                Guys i can't understand what's wrong with my bike's digital console
                                For the first 3-4km every morning it works fine
                                After that it goes on-off every few seconds while I am driving (doesn't happen when I am not in motion)
                                Yesterday I went for a small ride and I noticed that when the bike is stable it high speeds it doesn't go on-off.
                                I think it is happening when I apply brakes or maybe when i am accelerating in lower speeds in the city.
                                Didn't happen once on the highway

                                What can be the issue here?
