RUNNING-IN INFORMATION

The first 1000 km is a crucial part of your motorcycle. Proper running-in operation during this period helps in ensuring
a maximum life and smooth performance of your motorcycle.
The reliability and performance of your motorcycle depends on the special care and restrain exercised during the
running-in period. It is especially important that you avoid operating the engine in high speed (RPM), which could
expose the engine parts to excessive stress. Recommended speed during the running-in is:
Maximum 50 km/h speed upto 750 km (vary the engine speed for better mating of parts).
The first free service at 500 ~ 750 km is most important. During running-in period all the engine components and
other parts will have set in. All adjustments to be restored, all fasteners to be tightened. Engine cum transmission oil
to be replaced. Timely performance of the first free service will ensure optimum service life and performance from
the engine.

Caution
Replacing the engine cum transmission oil during first service is most important for better life of engine. Always use TVS
TRU4 FULLY SYNTHETIC oil (SAE 10W30 API-SL, JASO MA2) for better performance and life.

Since your motorcycle is fitted with Evaporative Emission Control System, the motorcycle should not be laid on the floor
during water wash. Else it may lead to difficulty in starting and improper running of the motorcycle.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Your motorcycle is fitted with an Anti-lock braking system (ABS) which is designed to prevent skidding and help riders
to maintain steering control during emergency-stopping situation in dry or wet roads, loose gravels etc. Incase of
single channel ABS system, the ABS system is provided only on the front brake whereas dual channel system has the
ABS system on both front and rear brakes.
How does ABS work?
When a rider applies the front brake (in single channel system) or any of the brake (in dual channel system) continuously,
as he detects a dangerous obstacle in dry or wet roads, loose gravels etc. transmits an excessive brake force to the
wheels. This excessive force may cause the wheels to stop spinning and leads to lose of road grip. With no firm
contact between the tire’s contact patch and the road surface, the bike becomes unstable and a crash is imminent.
The slipping wheels on a riding surface results in losing control of whole motorcycle which usually occurs in fractions
of a second. Restoring traction while keeping the bike balanced is only a result of luck, or extreme training, as is
the case of professional stunt riders who drift. Preventing the wheels from slipping due to excessive braking force
compensates losing control and help the rider to maneuver the vehicle and to avoid accidents.
So what the ABS does is actually limiting the braking force exerted by the rider by either squeezing the lever and keep
the wheel spinning. Once the imminence of the locking (and therefore skidding) is avoided, the system re-applies the
maximum braking force until the next skid is anticipated. By limiting the max force of the braking maneuver, the ABS
systems practically allow the riders to use the greatest stopping force possible without locking the wheels.
How does the ABS understands the wheel locking?
The ABS uses continuous wheel speed monitoring system; wheel speed sensors and toner rings and a Hydraulic
Electronic Control Unit (HECU).
During normal operation the ABS works similar to a normal brake. The speed sensors fitted on the both the wheels
(incase of dual channel ABS) measures the rotational speed of the wheels, when the wheel speed reduces rapidly
i.e. wheels tends to lock, the HECU modulates the pressure in the brake circuit and thereby prevents the wheels
from locking.

accordingly to achieve optimum braking.
Why does brake pedal / lever pulsate during brake
application?
Vehicles fitted with ABS uses the conventional brake
system during normal operation. But during hard

SAFE RIDING TIPS

SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATIONS

Any two wheeler riding requires some precautions to be taken to ensure the safety of the rider, pillion rider and other
road users. These precautions are:
Familiarise yourself with new TVS Apache RTR 200 4V ABS (Race Edition 2.0)
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge forms the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice
riding TVS Apache RTR 200 4V ABS (Race Edition 2.0) in a low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar with
your vehicle and its controls. Remember practice makes you perfect.
Riding apparel
Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a two-wheeler. Choose good quality two wheeler
riding apparel.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you
avoid accidents.

Warning
Two wheeler safety starts with wearing a good quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a
head injury. Always wear an ISI approved helmet that should fit your head comfortably and securely. You should also have
good quality goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
To prevent or minimize accident, never consume alcohol or drugs before or during the operation of your vehicle. Even minimal
consumption of these will affect the rider’s ability to control the vehicle.

Posture Cornering
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture. When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction

3. Progressive application of brakes is safer.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could

5. Apply both the brakes.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner. 6. Do not pump the brakes.

Fast starting from rest wastes fuel
A racing start from rest at full throttle will waste fuel
and damage the engine. It also creates a potentially
dangerous traffic situation. Fuel is wasted whenever
the rider suddenly accelerate or apply brake.
Avoid unnecessary idling
While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for
long time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed,
it causes unnecessary wastage of fuel.
Avoid frequent braking
Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic
conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking
reduces the fuel economy.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The maintenance schedule indicates the intervals between periodic services. At the end of each interval, be sure to
inspect, check, replace, adjust, lubricate and service as instructed. If the maintenance is not done periodically, it will
result in rapid wear and severe damage to the vehicle. If the vehicle is used under high stress conditions such as
continuous full throttle operation or is operated in dusty area, certain jobs should be performed more often to ensure
reliability of the vehicle. Cylinder head, steering components, suspension, chain and wheel components etc., are key
items and require very special and careful servicing. TVS Motor Company Limited strongly recommends that the jobs
as per the maintenance schedule be performed by your TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised
Dealer.
Periodic inspections may reveal one or more parts that may need replacement. Whenever replacing parts on TVS
Apache RTR 200 4V ABS (Race Edition 2.0), it is recommended that you use only the TVS Motor Company Genuine
parts.

Caution
Proper running-in and maintenance are mandatory for making certain that your vehicle is reliable and gives optimum
performance at all times. Make sure that the periodic maintenance is performed thoroughly in accordance with the
instructions given in this owner’s manual.
In more dusty areas, the air filter element required early replacement than the mentioned kilometers to avoid costly damages
