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 Distributor or Dealer / Authorised
Service Center.
Periodic inspections may reveal one or more parts that may need replacement. Whenever replacing parts on
TVS Apache RTR 200 4V DFiLOGIC, 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.
