Re: TVS-NTorq 125 Ownership Thread

Guys I have sold my TVS Ntorq 125. It was a good Scooter but It gave me back aches which I could not withstand.
I did the 3rd free service last Saturday and it cost me 440 Rupees with Oil Change.
Apart from the starting problem it ran very well for the 11 months of ownership.

How much does the Paid service cost. I'm due with the First paid service and wanna know how much it will cost. Is it reliable to take the Annual Maintenance Service plan?

Phone connectivity is spotty on this. I don't use it at all.
Don't kick, use the electric start. The scooter will start in about 40 seconds.
If you use it everyday, it won't present you with this starting problem.
But leave it for a day and it will fail to start. That's TVS for you.

Anyway, just make sure to take a video of the starting problem and share it with the service center. Else they will not believe you.
Nothing else is there to check. Just make sure they also change the gear oil and not just the engine oil.

I've been using wego for almost 10 years and never faced a cold start issue and it cranks up in a single self start. I guess it's the problem with autochoke which ntorq has.. The weird thing is the chokes suppose to help in the ease start but I just don't get it.

Surprisingly shocking as my new ntorq is failing in the cold start where my decade old wego is just doing fine [emoji52]

So finally got the glove box and new floor matt installed on my Ntorq. Total cost was ₹605.

Glove box? Where is it installed. Can you share few pics.

Yeaa..i dont use it on a daily basis..not my first mode of transport hence gets out only twice a week..they recommend using the kick starter for cold starts..wont using the electric starter make any issues or drain the battery?

Sure will look our for the gear oil change.
Thanks buddy.

Hey Guys,

I brought my N Torq(matte yellow) around 50 days ago. Its nearing the first service very soon, unfortunately haven't been using it as much and it has done around 300kms as of date, any pointers towards the first service to be taken care of.

I am facing one big issue that is starting it up in the mornings, i prefer kick starting it, and it takes almost 20-30 kicks, sometimes even more to start. Post that i don't face any issues. But the cold starts are a pain, any pointers towards the issue. Also the rear Tyre got deflated within 10 days of usage, and it was due to a faulty air valve, got it replaced at a local puncture shop and it seems pretty OK now.

Also one more issue with respect to connectivity of the phone, while using navigation, it seems to disconnect during the process of navigating and its very irritating to connect again and again, anyone else facing similar issue?

Re: TVS-NTorq 125 Ownership Thread

got delivery of my ntorq, love the sound of the scooter. Wondering what helmets fit in the ntorq's boot space. None of my bike full face helmets fit. Is there any model of full face helmet you guys know that fits in there ?!

Vega buds helmet will fit.

Re: TVS-NTorq 125 Ownership Thread

I think I will pay and get the choke replaced in the next service.
I'm thinking to replacing ntorq with KTM Duke125. They seem to have similar mileage numbers.

Re: TVS-NTorq 125 Ownership Thread

Mine is almost 11 months old, clocked 4300kms. From last one week it was having missing issue, which will appear only after riding 6+ kms. Yesterday onwards it was getting off when you leave the accelerator, and on low rpm silencer sound was saying, it was struggling. Today went to service, and found choke was gone and replaced it in warranty.

Seems choke issue is common for ntorq. I never had cold start issue though.

Re: TVS-NTorq 125 Ownership Thread

So what made the change?
Type pressure! The company specified pressure of 24 front and 26 rear is BS.
I am now running 28 Front and 30 rear.

More TP, less Rolling Resistance, better FE at the cost of braking, even more an issue while riding in the rains.

Re: TVS-NTorq 125 Ownership Thread

I was just reading an article about on TVS Scooty Jest being used for the Leh-Khardung La pass and how surprisingly it was a decently doable ride.

I don't know about the high altitude driving but I did a long distance journey of 1600kms Bangalore/Goa round trip (solo) on TVS Wego and max height I rode on was roughly 500-600 meters, basically about 1/10th of the altitude of Khardung La.

Given it was a TVS vehicle at that high altitude and knowing the performance of TVS Wego first hand, would I be correct to say NTorq is a doable vehicle for high altitude/mountainous driving?

As far as I know, for Khardungla or any other high altitude terrain, you need to adjust the carburettor.
Bikes with Fuel injection can adjust the fuel mixture automatically but regular two wheelers need a bit of tuning as oxygen is lesser at higher altitudes.



Mileage Update
In other news, I'm Happy to report that my Ntorq is giving 50Kmpl mileage on almost highway like conditions (no traffic condition) and 44Kmpl on bumber to bumper traffic (while accelerating hard)

How did I test it?
1 week Highway like traffic: Commute to work 4am and back home 1pm - Least traffic conditions in Bangalore
1 week Bumper to Bumper traffic: Commute to work 9am and back home 6pm - Heaviest Traffic in Bangalore.

I ran the Scoot full tank to reserve while setting the trip meter to Zero. I would then let the scooter reach reserve again and take a note of the KMS run. At this point I would fill the tank to the brim and calculate the amount of fuel filled wrt the kms achieved.

In the early days I was getting 32kmpl on bumper to bumper traffic and 42kmpl on highway like conditions.

So what made the change?
Type pressure! The company specified pressure of 24 front and 26 rear is BS.
I am now running 28 Front and 30 rear.

Result?
Better pickup
Better mileage
can easily run at a speed of 55Kmph while still on ECO mode

Downside:
The scooter is a little bumpy now.
