Hi! My question is does Apache RTR 200 4V have an oil strainer? I just happened to see your "oil change" video of the Dominar 400 where you removed the oil strainer and put it back after cleaning it. Please answer! Thank you😃
Hi Nikhil, There is a strainer present above the drain bolt. Its a mesh type strainer secured by two screws. You can get access to it by opening the oil drain bolt holding plate. I remember opening it but nothing much was found in the name of filtered material.
I have been using motul 7100 10w40 in my 160 4v and it's really impressive I have to say, my question is after pouring extra 200 ml from the new bottel how long can I keep it?? I mean what is the shelf life of it after opening the cap? I'm really confused
Hi Abhijit! If the cap is closed properly and the bottle is stored in a dry shaded place then the oil should remain good for a long time; atleast till your next oil change (which should be in 6-12 months under normal use). Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with the 7100 😊
Thnx a lot for the video. I recently changed the oil of my apache 180, but i forgot about oil filter. Is there a way to change oil filter without draining the oil ?
Thank +Alok Bargali for the appreciation. Well you can change the oil filter without draining the engine oil but there would be some oil loss. I have done it once on my 180 & had to top up some 100+ml of oil. The trick is to park the bike a bit tilted so that very little oil seeps out. Do the filter change on a cold engine. All the best 👍
Here in Colombia user's manual recommends 20W50, should I stick with it or can I change viscosity? And one more question, I've using Liqui Moly 15W50 semi synthetic oil on my Apache 180 for like a year now and I change the oil (included oil filter) every 6000 km as the oil manufacturer said, but now, from nowhere my gearbox got uncomfortable and it became hard to switch gears, did I messed up my bike by changing the oil every 6000 km as Liqui Moly said? 😅 But I did refill the oil deposit with new oil every now and then, never ride the bike with low engine oil, always at the maximum.
U can move slightly from recommended viscosity like here they say 10w30 but most people do 10w40 and i have experimented with some wild changes too ( not recommended) But do change oil like at 4000-5000 kms even for fully synthetic, oil is cheap, tranny is expensive.
Hey, I just wanted to know whether the motorcycle engine oil dipstick be hand tightened to the max or should nose pliers be used for the job... I was wondering because the service centre guy used pliers or something to tighten it last time. There are hard markings on the engine oil dipstick.
Hi Deepak, Thumb and Index finger tight is more than enough. No need for pliers! Ask them to use a cloth over the dipstick head before using pliers, this will avoid permanent marks.

If I use Oil other than TVS TRU4 Fully Synthetic engine Oil does it voids my RTR 200 4V warrenty? This time when I asked the service advisor not to change the engine oil as I will change it on my own own as per my choice, he said then the bike's warranty will not be applicable if I don't use TVS recommend oil. Is it so?
Hi Rishabh, Similar is the case with most of the manufacturers when they don't entertain any other oils in the name of warranty. If you have any other authorized service in your area then you can request them 😊
@@thesportztourer Thanks, I will try with some other service center but I don't think they will entertain this. Thanks for your response and keep making such great videos they are really helpful. Cheers 🤟
I have used 10w40 in my RTR 180 for more than 50k km & similarly I am using 10w40 fully synthetic oil in my RTR 200 for more than 12k km. In both the cases I have faced no issue with the engine. 10w40 performs very well for heavy use otherwise you can stick to 10w30.
i have riding my bike for past 3 mounths i have done my first service at 450 km , iam getting a milege of 30kmpl where my avg speed will be around 30 because of traffic. So pls tell me it is problem in my bike or i should wait till next oil change.
like ive said in the previous one, shell advance ultra 10w40 is the best...while this motul is matched with this one but its too pricey... ..do not rely on the name.. rely on API ratings such as SL, SM or SN... the higher the letter, the higher its quality..
Manual says 10w30 which is TVS oil... But you can use liquimoly and motul and other brands 10w40 for higher speed cruising and all.. You may lose your warranty
+JONATHANRICARDO PERALTAMARTINEZ Para un uso normal puede cambiar el aceite cada 4000-5000km mientras que para el uso pesado cambiar el aceite alrededor de 3000km. For others: For normal use you can change oil every 4000-5000km while for heavy usage change oil around 3000km.
Is there any chances of getting water in your engine? I have an issue while checking mobile, it was very thin and white foam in colour? What it could be? help please
The Sportztourer Yes, it was in dip stick and the we opened that cap , mobile color was white thin foam like, I was wondering how water get inside the engine
Hey, i live in pune, Can you recommend a place or site where i can buy spare parts like oil & air filter for my Apache RTR 160? Which to buy, i dont have info on that And great videos, keep it up bro, you have encouraged me to service my vehicle on my own!!! Thank you
Hi Mandar, You can get the spares from authorized TVS service. You can call on 1800-258-7111 to know which authorized service center has got the required parts in stock. Happy to have a Punekar on the channel, Thanks for appreciating the videos 😊
My dominar's engine coolant was leaking into the crankcase. After the issue was resolved by Bajaj Service centre, I am facing a new issue; that is, whenever bike crosses 65 kilometre per hour, low oil pressure light comes on. Can you please give some troubleshooting advice thanks.
which engine oil is better for apache rtr 200 as company recomends tru 4 10w30. Using 10w40 harms the engine ? Plz explain breifly . which engine oil you will recommend as i have to tour almost 40-50 km daily on an average 60km/hr. Normally i like to drive in 75-85km /h speed. so please recomend me best one and plz expalin it why is it best
Hi Aditya, I am using 10w40 fully synthetic oil on my RTR 180 for the last 50k+km with zero issues with the engine, clutch or gearbox. Similarly my RTR 200 is running on 10w40 fully synthetic oil for more than 12k km. TVS tru4 fully synthetic is good for normal regular use. If you desire to go for a better oil and you have city use then Motul 7100 10w40 will be my pick (have used this oil for my Indore ride). If you ride at high RPMs then the Motul 300V 10w40 will be my pick (have given a detailed technical review with my experience on the Rajasthan ride series).
Hi +adit poudel, New engine will face a little bit of heating issues till it sets in. You can go for Shell advance ultra 10w40 but TVS service won't accept any other oil as your bike is in warranty. Congratulations on your new bike 👍 welcome to the tribe 😊
thank you for replying bro...so which tvs engine oil you will recommend me..as iam going for long tour around 400-500km after my 1st service and i generally drive the bike in heavy traffic too... and i feel my gear stuck sometimes, so i guess i need more viscosity oil...so plz reccomend me the best engine oil that tvs offers
Hi +adit poudel, Engine heating, false neutrals (gear shifting), braking etc all this generally gets sorted after 2nd service i.e when your run in period is completed. Go for TVS tru4 fully synthetic engine oil. Ride safe.
Hi Arun, Try to keep the RPM under 5000 5500. Run in period is usually followed till 1000-1500km after which you can open up the throttle but don't be aggressive till the 2nd service.
Hai bro Iam from banglore, and Iam planning to buy an apache 200 but I have test rided one of my fiends apache 200 4v and felt some sneaky noise when we the release the throttle while riding, means noise near the left side gear might be inside the gearbox, and my friends also noticed and highlighted this issue with tvs many times but the answer from them is nothing, so do the sound in all apache comes near the gear, or he has got the wrong one, by the way the bike had clocked only 3k km till now. Thanks in advance.
Hi Rakesh, Go for a test ride and check if you get the sound from the showroom motorcycle. All RTRs have that distinct subtle pop from the exhaust when the throttle is rolled back nothing more to add on that.
+Akshay A S Thanks, After 1st service most of the manufacturers recommend to change the oil every alternate service. If your riding condition are harsh & you do more long distance riding then 3000km-4000km. Liquid cooled bikes can stretch till 6000km.
TVS TRU4 fully synthetic oil is a very good oil (highly recommended). If you heavy usage then go for Shell ultra, motul 7100, motul 300v, mobil racing etc with 10w30/10w40 grade.
In my rtr 200 4v Engine oil is leaking from the engine seal pack Does this comes under warranty? My bike is 10month old n has covered abt 3300 km Plz comment
Hi Azad, 7100 10w40 performs very well on the RTR 200 infact I have used that oil for my Pune-Indore-Ujjain ride. If you love high speeds and always keep the engine on boil then the 300V should be your pick 😊 I have shared my experience here: th-cam.com/play/PLDzB4F3L5AFrSu-Q_kWTkxVU1yZqjM608.html
Hi, Yes you can install, its a direct fit. I had a 180 for 6+ years and to be honest I never felt the need of an oil cooler. The heat management on the RTR 160 and 180 is excellent. Also note you will need extra engine oil to compensate the oil cooler.
@@thesportztourer yes..1.2ltr...may sal may ek bar long ride pe jata hu..3k-5k km Tak..pichle sal hi Gaya tha..jab engine bohot garm hota hay to engine ka smoothness Chala jata hay....
Hi Ayush, Motul 5100 is a semi synthetic oil, you can use that but do keep in mind that TVS recommends fully synthetic oil. No harm in using semi synthetic oil just note that the oil change interval should be sooner do not use semi synthetic oils more than 3000km if your usage is heavy. About Motul 5100, I found it to be one of the best semi synthetic oils available in the market today. Would recommend any one of these: amzn.to/2ohXJ8t amzn.to/2pqenmw
The Sportztourer but I don't find any fully synthetic oil of motul in 10w30 grade......only tvs tru4 is fully synthetic oil available in this grade.....n I dnt want to use 10w40 or 15w50......do you know another option of fully synthetic oil available in this grade ?
+Ayush Shukla No problem with 10w40, infact 10w40 has better high temperature performance than 10w30. A 10w40 oil will give better engine protection at high temperature stress riding condition like traffic/high speed riding. Honda has got fully synthetic oil in 10w30 grade for CBR250R, you can get it from their service station. TVS TRU4 Fully synthetic is an another good option. Hope this helps.
+Ayush Shukla A lot of factors come in play when deciding on a particular grade or design to be used on a bike. If you see manufacturer maintain a balance between quality, cost & performance. If 10w30 oil meets all the requirements plus gives a wee bit of less resistance then it's good to use. Nothing wrong in using better quality oil just remember not to change the '10' in 10w40 or 10w40.
OK because I have changed oil 3 times & they didn't even checked the oil filter. now after 2000 km I have servicing at that time I,ll change. there will be no problem na ?
No problem if you have changed the oil at regular intervals. Oil filter helps in cleaner oil recirculation & keeps the impurities, wear & tear particles aways from the oil sump, engine & gearbox. No need to worry just get it changed next time.
Hi, I have used 10w40 on my RTR 180 for more than 50000km with no problem. Using the same grade on my 200 for more than 10k km. If you want to stick with the recommended grade 10w30 then you won't find much options in fully synthetic engine oils. Do check out the Rajasthan ride series on this channel where I have given detailed review on the Motul 300V 10w40 engine oil.
For regular riding I would suggest you to stick to the TVS Tru4 fully synthetic engine oil. The fully synthetic engine oil from TVS is good & value for money (you get 1.2L pack).
The Sportztourer i am apache 160 owner. I fell that tvs oil does lasts long. It losses its quality after 300km but tvs claims 6000km which is not possible.
TVS TRU4 fully synthetic should work fine till 3000km for regular use. If you want to try a better oil then you can definitely go for Motul 7100 10w40.
Its absolutely normal for an new engine to heat up and have hard gear shifts. The engine usually takes some time to settle in, still if you feel anything abnormal you can mention that during the first service. Congratulations on the new machine, welcome to the tribe 😊
I used this oil and my bike suddenly started overheating and smoke from the exhaust too much. I am scared and service guy told the oil doesn't suit. Please suggest why it happened??? Is it shell bunk guys used air blower to clean the engine.
Hi Neeraj, TVS TRU4 fully synthetic oil is good for normal regular use. If you want to switch to a better oil then Motul 7100 10w40 will be a good pick. My experience with Shell advance ultra and Motul 7100 10w40 has been really good on my RTR 180.
Hi +Arkaprava Samanta, better go for Motul 300v 10w40 : amzn.to/2rCcj83 Motul 300v 15w50 would be a heavy oil for Apache. The start up lubrication inside the engine would be slower & the engine will face higher fluid resistance when running at high RPM. So better stick to 10w30 or 10w40 grade of oils.
That service reminder is based on km covered from the last time it was reset. You can easily reset it now by following these steps: th-cam.com/video/wxD6lTQSbow/w-d-xo.html
thanx Vai.....please Correction. Its Oil Cool Right...? When U Replace Oil Filter..... Filter Out and Cranck Ur engine Many Time..... with out key on ingnition..There is much oil into oil cooler radiator.... And 200ml jar never give accurate 200 ml engine oil.... cause its engine oil.... Measure your 200 ml engine oil from Engine Oil Container which have 200 ml ~ 1l indicator.....🙂🙂😉
Hi bro🙂, My RTR 200 has done it's 5th service and has ridden 5k kms. The last oil change I had was 10 months back and the bike has only been ridden for 400-500 kms as I went out of town. Now I am resuming my ride. Do I have to change the oil or will it spare me some kms to ride. A reply with a proper solution would be very thankful. Looking forward to it.☺️
Hi, If you are planning to go for a ride then it would be better if you change the oil. Used engine oils tend to oxidize over long time & oil companies recommend change after 1 year.
Thank you so much for the informative advice. Actually I will be doing a trip from my hometown i.e. Kolkata to Delhi approx 1500kms solo. So It's better to change right? And since this would be my first solo and a ride so long I would really need a lot of suggestions regarding many queries. Hope you will be there for my help☺️😊
Yes, Change of oil will definitely give you a peace of mind 😊 Kolkata to Delhi 👍 happy to know you are doing it on the RTR. All the best for the ride, enjoy & ride safe!
Ha ha ha.. it not nervousness I call it excitement 😊 No need to cover 1000km in a day, you are not doing it to prove anything to anyone. Try to ride in daylight & find a stay when the sun goes down (best for solo rides). Relax & enjoy your ride. Keep you self hydrated & you will reach your destination with a happy face 😊 All the best & do let me know once you complete the ride 👍

What is the Oil Change Interval While Using Recommended TVS Oil Or Motul 10W40⁉️
4000km
Thnx a lot for the video. I recently changed the oil of my apache 180, but i forgot about oil filter. Is there a way to change oil filter without draining the oil ?
Thank +Alok Bargali for the appreciation.
Well you can change the oil filter without draining the engine oil but there would be some oil loss. I have done it once on my 180 & had to top up some 100+ml of oil.
The trick is to park the bike a bit tilted so that very little oil seeps out. Do the filter change on a cold engine.
All the best 👍
The Sportztourer Thnx a lot.
Here in Colombia user's manual recommends 20W50, should I stick with it or can I change viscosity? And one more question, I've using Liqui Moly 15W50 semi synthetic oil on my Apache 180 for like a year now and I change the oil (included oil filter) every 6000 km as the oil manufacturer said, but now, from nowhere my gearbox got uncomfortable and it became hard to switch gears, did I messed up my bike by changing the oil every 6000 km as Liqui Moly said? 😅 But I did refill the oil deposit with new oil every now and then, never ride the bike with low engine oil, always at the maximum.
U can move slightly from recommended viscosity like here they say 10w30 but most people do 10w40 and i have experimented with some wild changes too ( not recommended)
But do change oil like at 4000-5000 kms even for fully synthetic, oil is cheap, tranny is expensive.
Also make sure in the try to keep oil max, u dont overfill it, that is another problem, anywhere from max to min is fine,
Hey, I just wanted to know whether the motorcycle engine oil dipstick be hand tightened to the max or should nose pliers be used for the job... I was wondering because the service centre guy used pliers or something to tighten it last time. There are hard markings on the engine oil dipstick.

Hi!
Is the noise constant or it appears at certain rpm or while accelerating?

any difference between shell oil and tvs tru4?
TVS TRU4 fully synthetic oil is a very good oil (highly recommended) but shell ultra, motul 7100/300v are superior. I would say TVS oil is a bang on value for money oil, don't go for other brands unless you have heavy usage.
I use my Tvs apache 180 rtr for i) Home to office (22Kms) & ii) Office to home (22Kms) - Heavy traffic due to metro work, so usually at low gears most of the time.
Please recommend i)Oil grade (10W30 or 10W40) and ii)Brand.

Is it necessary to put 1200 ml , cant we put 1 l only
You can use that next time. Synthetic engine oil has more durability than mineral btw
Simple u better change the oil in the show room and they will put 1200ml just for 600 rupess and u will get the gaurantee tat if some damage happens to ur engine the service centre will recover it freely but if u continuously change the oil outside and some damage happens to ur engine service centre will not incharge for tat!cuz when u change the oil in service centre they will note the details tat u have change there!!
If I use Oil other than TVS TRU4 Fully Synthetic engine Oil does it voids my RTR 200 4V warrenty? This time when I asked the service advisor not to change the engine oil as I will change it on my own own as per my choice, he said then the bike's warranty will not be applicable if I don't use TVS recommend oil. Is it so?
Hi Rishabh,
Similar is the case with most of the manufacturers when they don't entertain any other oils in the name of warranty. If you have any other authorized service in your area then you can request them 😊
@@thesportztourer Thanks, I will try with some other service center but I don't think they will entertain this. Thanks for your response and keep making such great videos they are really helpful. Cheers 🤟
Hi, The Sportztourer i wanted know that is there any problem in using 10w40 rather than using 10w30 as the company suggests to use in rtr 200.
I have used 10w40 in my RTR 180 for more than 50k km & similarly I am using 10w40 fully synthetic oil in my RTR 200 for more than 12k km. In both the cases I have faced no issue with the engine. 10w40 performs very well for heavy use otherwise you can stick to 10w30.
i have riding my bike for past 3 mounths i have done my first service at 450 km , iam getting a milege of 30kmpl where my avg speed will be around 30 because of traffic. So pls tell me it is problem in my bike or i should wait till next oil change.
30kmpl in the city traffic is fine. Your motorcycle is new, let the engine settle and then you can keep an observation on the fuel efficiency.
Bro can you plz make a video full service video apache 200rtr 4v at home..plz bro

Hii sir which engine oil perfect for apachi rtr 200 shell advance ulta 10w 40
Or motul 20w 50 which one is best iam confused😕❓
like ive said in the previous one, shell advance ultra 10w40 is the best...while this motul is matched with this one but its too pricey... ..do not rely on the name.. rely on API ratings such as SL, SM or SN... the higher the letter, the higher its quality..
hi, i used Liqui Moly 10w50 fully synthetic oil on my rtr 200. but it was only 1 Ltr. is it mandatory to use 1.2 Ltr oil on rtr 200 ??????
Hi Amon,
Why 10W-50?
Running low on oil is not good for the engine. It's better to fill till the recommended level.
soak the oil filter with engine oil before changing it...
Online main miliga tvs oil filter
The Apache 200 Manual says 20W40 oils. So 10W40s can also be used?
Manual says 10w30 which is TVS oil... But you can use liquimoly and motul and other brands 10w40 for higher speed cruising and all.. You may lose your warranty
Whts the oil filter changing interval for apache 160?
Hi +Bas s,
The oil filter costs a minimal Rs 40/- So it's better to change the oil filter at every oil change.
Ride safe.
cada cuanto se debe cambiar el aceite?
+JONATHANRICARDO PERALTAMARTINEZ
Para un uso normal puede cambiar el aceite cada 4000-5000km mientras que para el uso pesado cambiar el aceite alrededor de 3000km.
For others: For normal use you can change oil every 4000-5000km while for heavy usage change oil around 3000km.

How often should the engine oil and oil filter be replaced?

which engine oil is better for apache rtr 200 as company recomends tru 4 10w30. Using 10w40 harms the engine ? Plz explain breifly . which engine oil you will recommend as i have to tour almost 40-50 km daily on an average 60km/hr. Normally i like to drive in 75-85km /h speed. so please recomend me best one and plz expalin it why is it best
Hi Aditya,
I am using 10w40 fully synthetic oil on my RTR 180 for the last 50k+km with zero issues with the engine, clutch or gearbox. Similarly my RTR 200 is running on 10w40 fully synthetic oil for more than 12k km.
TVS tru4 fully synthetic is good for normal regular use.
If you desire to go for a better oil and you have city use then Motul 7100 10w40 will be my pick (have used this oil for my Indore ride). If you ride at high RPMs then the Motul 300V 10w40 will be my pick (have given a detailed technical review with my experience on the Rajasthan ride series).

Hi +adit poudel,
New engine will face a little bit of heating issues till it sets in. You can go for Shell advance ultra 10w40 but TVS service won't accept any other oil as your bike is in warranty.
Congratulations on your new bike 👍 welcome to the tribe 😊
thank you for replying bro...so which tvs engine oil you will recommend me..as iam going for long tour around 400-500km after my 1st service and i generally drive the bike in heavy traffic too... and i feel my gear stuck sometimes, so i guess i need more viscosity oil...so plz reccomend me the best engine oil that tvs offers
Hi +adit poudel,
Engine heating, false neutrals (gear shifting), braking etc all this generally gets sorted after 2nd service i.e when your run in period is completed.
Go for TVS tru4 fully synthetic engine oil.
Ride safe.
thanks mate
Hi. My first service will be within one week.. So can i use motul or tvs tru4 synthetic oil?
Hi Arun,
It depends upon your service center if the allow oils of other brands. TVS Tru4 fully synthetic oil is good for normal regular use.
Thanks for the reply. How many km we want to cross the limit of 50kmph.. And push hard... As per your experience?
Hi Arun,
Try to keep the RPM under 5000 5500. Run in period is usually followed till 1000-1500km after which you can open up the throttle but don't be aggressive till the 2nd service.
Within how much km's i should change engine oil when using tvs true4 synthetic oil?
After 3000km i don't think that oil performs well. Max i guess we can push to 3500kms.
Hai bro Iam from banglore, and Iam planning to buy an apache 200 but I have test rided one of my fiends apache 200 4v and felt some sneaky noise when we the release the throttle while riding, means noise near the left side gear might be inside the gearbox, and my friends also noticed and highlighted this issue with tvs many times but the answer from them is nothing, so do the sound in all apache comes near the gear, or he has got the wrong one, by the way the bike had clocked only 3k km till now.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Rakesh,
Go for a test ride and check if you get the sound from the showroom motorcycle. All RTRs have that distinct subtle pop from the exhaust when the throttle is rolled back nothing more to add on that.
How often do we need to change engine oil? Nice video btw :)
+Akshay A S Thanks, After 1st service most of the manufacturers recommend to change the oil every alternate service. If your riding condition are harsh & you do more long distance riding then 3000km-4000km. Liquid cooled bikes can stretch till 6000km.
Thanks bro :) And which engine oil would you recommend?
TVS TRU4 fully synthetic oil is a very good oil (highly recommended). If you heavy usage then go for Shell ultra, motul 7100, motul 300v, mobil racing etc with 10w30/10w40 grade.
Thanks dude :)

7100 10w40 performs very well on the RTR 200 infact I have used that oil for my Pune-Indore-Ujjain ride. If you love high speeds and always keep the engine on boil then the 300V should be your pick 😊

Can I install oil cooling system in RTR 160?
Hi,
Yes you can install, its a direct fit.
I had a 180 for 6+ years and to be honest I never felt the need of an oil cooler. The heat management on the RTR 160 and 180 is excellent.
Also note you will need extra engine oil to compensate the oil cooler.

can we use motul 5100 10w30 for Apache 200 4v ?
Hi Ayush, Motul 5100 is a semi synthetic oil, you can use that but do keep in mind that TVS recommends fully synthetic oil.
No harm in using semi synthetic oil just note that the oil change interval should be sooner do not use semi synthetic oils more than 3000km if your usage is heavy.
About Motul 5100, I found it to be one of the best semi synthetic oils available in the market today.
Would recommend any one of these:
amzn.to/2ohXJ8t
amzn.to/2pqenmw
The Sportztourer but I don't find any fully synthetic oil of motul in 10w30 grade......only tvs tru4 is fully synthetic oil available in this grade.....n I dnt want to use 10w40 or 15w50......do you know another option of fully synthetic oil available in this grade ?
+Ayush Shukla No problem with 10w40, infact 10w40 has better high temperature performance than 10w30. A 10w40 oil will give better engine protection at high temperature stress riding condition like traffic/high speed riding.
Honda has got fully synthetic oil in 10w30 grade for CBR250R, you can get it from their service station.
TVS TRU4 Fully synthetic is an another good option.
Hope this helps.
The Sportztourer thanks for the reply......but then I don't understand if 10w40 is better oil than why tvs recommend 10w30 ?
+Ayush Shukla A lot of factors come in play when deciding on a particular grade or design to be used on a bike. If you see manufacturer maintain a balance between quality, cost & performance.
If 10w30 oil meets all the requirements plus gives a wee bit of less resistance then it's good to use. Nothing wrong in using better quality oil just remember not to change the '10' in 10w40 or 10w40.
in how much km should we change the oil filter
Hi Arfat, as the oil filter is cheap (~Rs 40) for Apache, I would recommend oil filter change with every engine oil change.
OK
because I have changed oil 3 times & they didn't even checked the oil filter. now after 2000 km I have servicing at that time I,ll change. there will be no problem na ?
No problem if you have changed the oil at regular intervals. Oil filter helps in cleaner oil recirculation & keeps the impurities, wear & tear particles aways from the oil sump, engine & gearbox. No need to worry just get it changed next time.
Tvs recommends 10w30 grade. 10w40 can harm the engine?
Hi,
I have used 10w40 on my RTR 180 for more than 50000km with no problem. Using the same grade on my 200 for more than 10k km.
If you want to stick with the recommended grade 10w30 then you won't find much options in fully synthetic engine oils. Do check out the Rajasthan ride series on this channel where I have given detailed review on the Motul 300V 10w40 engine oil.
The Sportztourer if i am a normal rider them can u tell me that till how much km motul or any other 10w40 fully synthetic oil can last?
For regular riding I would suggest you to stick to the TVS Tru4 fully synthetic engine oil. The fully synthetic engine oil from TVS is good & value for money (you get 1.2L pack).
The Sportztourer i am apache 160 owner. I fell that tvs oil does lasts long. It losses its quality after 300km but tvs claims 6000km which is not possible.
TVS TRU4 fully synthetic should work fine till 3000km for regular use.
If you want to try a better oil then you can definitely go for Motul 7100 10w40.
Today I changed the oil with same shell ultra and burnt smell and smoke is coming. I am scared. What to do???

@@thesportztourer yes FI bs6 almost 230km
Its absolutely normal for an new engine to heat up and have hard gear shifts. The engine usually takes some time to settle in, still if you feel anything abnormal you can mention that during the first service.
Congratulations on the new machine, welcome to the tribe 😊

Assuming the quality of fuel is good at your place you can go with regular unleaded petrol 😊

Which engine oil is good for my apache 180

Can I use
Motul 300V 15W-50 for my Apache 200 4v?
Hi +Arkaprava Samanta, better go for Motul 300v 10w40 : amzn.to/2rCcj83
Motul 300v 15w50 would be a heavy oil for Apache. The start up lubrication inside the engine would be slower & the engine will face higher fluid resistance when running at high RPM. So better stick to 10w30 or 10w40 grade of oils.
At how much kms should we change the oil in rtr 200.
Hi +Arfat Khan,
For fully synthetic oils under medium to heavy usage the oil change interval is around 4000km (the oil viscosity starts to drop).
I used motul 10w50 in my rtr 200 . Which costed near 700 for 1200ml. Which oil it would be & how much km should I use.
Which oil is best ?? Fully Synthetic or Semi Synthetic
Fully synthetic oil are best as they are better in performance even under heavy use.
Buddy TVS recommends 900ml oil during regular oil change and 1ltr in case of disassembly..why 1200ml then??
HI Kedar,
That's the recommendation for RTR 160/180 but the RTR 200 needs 1200ml (as the oil cooler also takes some oil).

Hi bro🙂, My RTR 200 has done it's 5th service and has ridden 5k kms. The last oil change I had was 10 months back and the bike has only been ridden for 400-500 kms as I went out of town. Now I am resuming my ride. Do I have to change the oil or will it spare me some kms to ride.
A reply with a proper solution would be very thankful. Looking forward to it.☺️
Hi,
If you are planning to go for a ride then it would be better if you change the oil. Used engine oils tend to oxidize over long time & oil companies recommend change after 1 year.
Thank you so much for the informative advice. Actually I will be doing a trip from my hometown i.e. Kolkata to Delhi approx 1500kms solo. So It's better to change right? And since this would be my first solo and a ride so long I would really need a lot of suggestions regarding many queries. Hope you will be there for my help☺️😊
Yes, Change of oil will definitely give you a peace of mind 😊
Kolkata to Delhi 👍 happy to know you are doing it on the RTR.
All the best for the ride, enjoy & ride safe!
The Sportztourer Thanks bud little nervous though coz of first time plus solo, fingers crossed 😎
Ha ha ha.. it not nervousness I call it excitement 😊
No need to cover 1000km in a day, you are not doing it to prove anything to anyone. Try to ride in daylight & find a stay when the sun goes down (best for solo rides).
Relax & enjoy your ride. Keep you self hydrated & you will reach your destination with a happy face 😊
All the best & do let me know once you complete the ride 👍
