- This is it ! the long awaited * Detailed Ownership Review of the BS6 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V with riding modes * is live on the channel after an extensive riding experience with the motorcycle. My use case has been
70% Touring and 30% commuting. So far I have done 2 long rides which are 1) 3,000 km Maharashtra to Tirupati Balaji &
2) 1,600 km Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to Goa.
During these long rides, the performance was phenomenal with cruising speeds of 95 - 110. Multiple breakfast and overnight rides follow next.
I still love the motorcycle despite it's flaws as it is still on of the most capable yet practical sub 250cc naked motorcycles in our INDIAN market.
But, it is now in dire need of extensive updates from TVS to make it competitive in the segment again .

Indian companies should focus on quality rather than useless features
more features helps them to sell the product, whereas quality of a product is only reflected overtime, and companies are more focused on sales rather than getting loyal customers.
This is more evident when you look at how bad the after sales service is for most companies.
The biggest example of providing pointless features for sales, are all the Chinese smartphone brands like Oppo - Vivo, they provide all features like triple/ quad camera, portrait mode, 200mp camera, which are just gimmicks and these features are hardly utilised in our daily life, but the same features help companies to increase sales and attract more customers.
@@jayjohnx IK and agree
If you are saying in the case of Apache I don't think these are useless features in fact I use them often.
When I buy my first bike, I would go for rtr 200 over ns 200. I don't use high performance often,rather, I use these features on a daily basis.
Agree 💯
My friend had this bike, initial bs4 carburettor version which he used for 50k kms. The things that I didn't like about it were lack of tractability in higher gears - low speeds, it always needed some revving to get going from a standstill otherwise it used to stall in 1st, 2nd and sometimes even in 3rd gear if not careful. Front brake had strong bite but no progressiveness, hence felt grabby. And there was no top end, absolutely no power above 100 kph. But the sharp handling, brilliant ride quality of KYB suspension, big fat midrange power, quick revving nature of the engine, instant throttle response, roaring exhaust note and the overall feel of riding a race derived machine were enough to neglect all it's minor cons. It was so quick to reach 100kph, without any effort. This is easily the most fun bike in that segment, apart from NS200. One other thing that I understood is that this bike does not need any pampering or special maintenance. It's engine is derived from the erstwhile ultra reliable TVS-Suzuki Fiero. My friend only ever did basic maintenance and the bike was super smooth even at 50k kms. That's the beauty of this machine IMO. All other bikes in that segment require special care, RTR200 does not. Also engine flush is not at all needed if you change oil at regular intervals, because engine oils already have some level of cleaning capability.
need a good servicing
Very nice video..... Generally I don't subscribe to most channels but your content is top notch, so did it!
You exactly explained the character,pros and cons of apache,I have the same one and just can relate you..nice video,🤟🏻☺️
Dude you understood your bike so much better. Also test the bigger apache 310 and review it!
Very nice detailed video thank you for sharing your experience, I recently bought Apache RTR 200 bs6... Your video helped me a lot with my concerns about the bike... 👍🏻
I got my bike in oct 2022 till now I've cloaked 33590km tappet adjusted at 32k km no major issue
I got chains sprocket around 28k km even though it is not making any noise I've changed it
Pls change chain guide bottom in Every 9k km it will increase chain life
And I have got issue with front Break ihave changed the Break caliper 3 times in warranty and break rotor also changed once
guys if you are feeling low confidence in riding I'll tell you don't use tvs tyres use Michelin tyres you will get good riding mode
apart from that use liqui moly injection cleaner and system cleaner after every 10k
and imp part use shell petrol don't use others and use 10 w 40 liqui moly no heating issue no vibration
no paid promotion i have 1604vbs4 I'm using and doing this i just wanted to add this point in video same for 2004v
nice video the way you explaint point cons and pros awesome bro
Bro i have 160 4v but i can relate with your good point and bad point but at the end TVS makes good and reliable bikes thats for sure ❤️
Couldn't agree anymore..❤
nice review, review is genuine, i subscirbed, (iam an apache FANBOY, WAITING FOR ONE), NOW OWNING A TVS RADEON, MINE IS SUPER-RELIABLE, DESPITE BEING TREATED LIKE A 160CC BIKE, ALWAYS AT THE TOPEND OF THE BIKE TOPEND REV RANGE, PINNING THE THROTTLE, 110 CC BIKE'S RESPONSE IN ITSELF IS A WONDER, A CRISPY AND PEPPY ENGINE TO RIDE, RIPPED THE ENGINE IN HIGHWAYS, ON A COUPLE OF LONGRIDES, CRUISING AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE, NO ISSUES, TILL NOW, GOING TO CROSS 30K KILOMETRES IN 1.5 YEARS OF OWNING THE BIKE, AND WONDERING TVS 110CC IS BUILT LIKE THIS, THEN HOW WILL BE THE RAIDER AND APACHES!
My march 2021 rtr 200 bs6 fuel pump also failed within 1 year, and it was replaced under warranty. I also had to change ignition coil under warranty. After that it has not given any trouble.
Thanks for your review man really really appreciated
I too own a bs6 apache RTR 200 4v, owning it since February 2022, i didn't faced any of those problems which you faced, but my riding modes were not working for atleast 6 to 7 months i got it fixed it now. And i too agree with the engine noise though😂 pedestrians and other traffic can hear my bikes exhaust note what i hear is only the engine ramble.. moreover my fuel pump also got replaced after my very first service. Gladly warranty was there to save me..
your bike is new you will feel afterwards
Bro will using 10 w 40 grade engine oil can reduce the mechanical noise of the engine?
Osm video very informative ❤❤ thank you
Hello sir.... Apne jo apni RTR200 par jo transparent wind shield lagai hai uske bare me bataiye. And 5'10" - 5'11" height k rider k liye sitting posture kaise rahega?? (planning RTR 200,2023 DEC YA JAN 24 me)
Thank you bro ; this feels genuine review for me .
My pleasure
Hi, my bike sometimes automatically shuts off in idle, not sure why but I'm waiting on a signal, in neutral, engine at idle(1800 rpm), there's 9 seconds left for signal to be green and pop goes my bike, off..... just like that, have to give self again in order to start
Need help... My RTR suddenly turned off at running condition. Why this happened? can you please suggest me
Bro is it mandatory to get service every 3 months for the warranty of the bike ? And do you service your bike on time ??
35 mins yeh toh biography hai apache ka
Sir, can you recommend a good painter in Pune for motorcycles ? My bike is 8 years old.
please make a video on understanding engine health from listening to varying types of engine noise at different speeds and gears. Please please make a video on this one. Im a new bie and really want to learn how to take care of engine health.
As a noob, I'd have no idea if I had your issue on 5th gear at 16k kms, I wouldn't even realise there is a problem as the sound didn't feel too problematic at all. so please make a video to educate us.
Bro tell me relay kya abi bhi bike wiring m kch problem ayaa kya
Excellent review brother 💯 I've faced the same problems too.
I face little pops and bangs in my apache 200 when decelerating between 2-3 gear is it normal ?
Had battery issue recently, service centre said temperature sensor is damaged (replaced it under warranty), again had same issue (bike was not starting), replaced battery under warranty and the issue is gone.
Kudos to you for a comprehensive, insightful and outstanding commentary on the Apache 200 4V. Not many riders have your eye for detail. Probably it stems from the pride of owning an Apache and your passion for motorcycling. I do hope Mr Sudershan Venu will watch this video. Good Luck. Would like you to review the Honda 300 f.
Thankyou sir for your generous remarks ! about the 300F, will try to get my hands on one soon
@@kmperhrvlogs please need a comparison b/w n250 and cb300f . i need a bike with less maintanance , i mean not in terms of money but stress free experience .🙏🙏🙏

Would it make sense to buy this bike in 2024?
Pure content ❤ loved it
Thanks!
i have got the 2016 Apache rtr 200, its been 7 years now and still performs beautifully, although i have covered only 38k kms. mine is a carbureted version which gives more power and torque than the bs6 version and also lighter than the bs6 version by 4kgs which is quite some weight. I use the tvs synthetic oil with timely servicing and never faced even a single issue till now. Headlight throw being halogen was not sufficient so i installed a good led and its working fine. Quality seems to be very good because even after offroading there is not even a single rattling noise. can tour comfortably at 80-100 on highways and it returns more than 42kmpl if the carburetor is tuned properly.
How much u paid for this
@@redshirtguy4622 of what?
@@akashr9253 for Apache RTR 200 , 2017 model
I'm going to buy,, how much i should pay
@@redshirtguy4622 i dont know the current prices.
Video kafi jyada detailed hai❤
Can we go for tvs or Bajaj
Bro did you find solution for tapping noise
While riding ...just leave the acceleration ..& u can change the riding mode to your suitability
Thank you
Rtr200🪽
Each and every negative points is completely agreed by me all the same problems I'm facing too, but with time i get used to it and won't bother me anymore...
Same here 😂
Front brake pads have improved on Ronin. 10k+ kms but still going strong, where as rear pads were replaced at 7k approximately
Will try those in my bike
for noice and heat
ill recommend you use Liqui Moly 10W40 Street Race (1L) im using this
Rtr1604v bhi asi hi chalte but problem kam atti hai
Secondary screen blank is also there in 1604v 4:17
The mechanical noise from the engine is very irritating
but as u said down shift aur phir cornering mai jo maja ata hai na BESTHHH
My bike cloaked 32k, front brake levers are sometimes getting stuck, free play of lever also got increased 😢
Whatever you told is absolutely my experience, engine noise, bekar sa blootooth feature jo har barbar manually connect karna padta hai., And display over brightness in night is so irritating.
I own the BS6 april 2K22 version, negatives main except for display and engine noise at 20-30 on the 5th gear vaala part, no other issues whatsoever, and also false neutrals.
I tried Motul 10w40 and now the bike is like on viagra, no hold backs.
Only ONE major issues I have is the seat hardness during touring. Yet to try a seat gel/foam. Done almost 15K on this bike, highest 540 kms in a single ride. Ordered Lluvia saddle stay and top rack, will now make a big trip somewhere. Handle bar raisers ka bhi kuch karna padega, lets see...
Nice. Checkout my latest video. I have launched a handlebar riser kit myself
Bhai kya launch hoga aaj ?? Aapne 2:30 pm ka time bataya tha !!!😥😥
Mera 10 k ho gaya 160 4 v.... Ecu.. Rectifier battery kharap ho gaya... Wo sab change karna pada...ecu and rectifier warranty pe mila but battery khud kharida...engine abhi bhi thik Hai..
Shriniket I think tvs has upgraded it's map to latest version mappls map my India I think I should not be a problem while navigating to the point
Only one and major problem for me is after sales 😭
You are not supposed to use 10w50 which is a thicker oil and put strain on the engine
Moral of the story from this vlog. Don't mess too much with your beast as long as it is rev happy. Be a rider....not a mechanic 😅
Yaar gear box isnt smooth at all for my apache 200 4V bought in feb 2022
What is mileage for 200?
what's the city mileage
Meri bike me front disk se kuchh ragdne jaise awaz aati hai
I have this bike one thing I agree with this bike have some issue with clutch and gear settings.
Sometime when I up shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear then sometime gear just gets stucks. And also when I am stands stills sometime the gear won't get down shift from 2nd to 1st gear.
This issue I am facing sometimes.
Overall bike is good.
what is your view for true4 synthetic tvs and motul 7100 10w 40 is there any vast difference in vibration pickup engine sound ?
Motul is far superior in terms of refinement and top end performance.
engine flush use karne ke bad meri ns200 me oil leak ki problem ane lagi thi
Bro always try to use low beams . It makes Opp vehicle glare so much. So much powerful headlight ❤️
Yeah true
New set of tyres look really good on the bike
Looks + performance 👌🏼
tvs ronin issue are also same.
Pls make video on chain maintenance
You don't really need to flush engine oil unless the oil has started degrading or already degraded to sludge (because of age or extremely extended oil change intervals).
Still, if you want to "flush" out the old oil, from my experience we can use an oil with higher detergent content (eg. Shell or Diesel engine oils) with shorter change intervals.
Also none of the OEM manufacturers have "true" fully synthetic oil. Most of them are at most a blend (semi synthetic), which explains the shorter oil change duration. As far as I know, Motul 7100 is the only "true" synthetic oil made entirely of esters.
Great video though. Can't wait to see the mods back on the bike.
Correct
bhai which bike you would prefer for long touring Apache 200 4v or Mt 15..please tell me,,i am very confused
Go with rtr 200 bro…more riding options
Bhai front Shock absorber ka setting kitne pe rkhna chahiye? I'm feeling that fork guard is making noise on speed breakers and poor roads
Depends on your weight
I have the same bike clocked 40k so far I have lot of problems I have spent hefty money on service inception from front brakes , engine issue ,pick up issue , vibrations, poor service from authorised centres . But still bike is good if u do service from outside
Yep 👍 i agree with you me also facing
Please add english subtitle.
Purchased Bike in 2021 September. Bike suddenly stops after 10-15 km running and doesn't start . I have to wait for 30 min to cool down and then it starts . Bike is not in warranty and i the service centre guy told the possible reason is the fuel pump .but it is costing around 12k . Does any one have proper idea of what the problem is and what can be done
Fuel pump is bad. It does not cost 12k but 5-6k max
Dada maza bike madhe 50k run houn pn engine problem nahi aala♥️chain set aani shocker cone set tyre bs ya sagla ghosti change kela
Superb ! You don’t ride aggressively ever I think
Bro I also got rtr 200 4v.....I have an issue like jab gear 2nd to 3rd or 1 to 2nd jata hu gear shift hota hai kuch rpm bdne baad automatically gear downshift hojata and fatt se gadi ruk jati hai like it should but why voh gear downshift horah? What could be the problem did you face such issues?
Majha around 14.1k challi aahe gadi
Change your clutch cable and check your gear shifter linkage. Remove free play from these two parts
@@kmperhrvlogs free play?
I recently had an issue with the thermal sensor of my 160 4v. Mine has been 2 years old, but I put on a fight with people at service on why there's no warranty for the sensor.. Finally when i mentioned I will raise a complaint to higher authority they came back to me stating it will be covered under warranty. I suggest you guys not so simply accept their terms. Obviously they will try to scam you, Be aware of things.
There is a problem with TVS's engine heat temperature sensor but they should replace it free of cost under warranty
I have Apache 200 which I brought in oct 20 2021 white colour done 21800
19:33 . brother please chain set ke upar video banao😄
Coming soon
Bro chain set clean ....
Mera apache 200 mei bhi same problem ho raha hai
Also we need a detailed chain maintainance video
Coming soon
Should i buy this bike or hunter or xpulse ...
only one line answer im very confused
Obvisouly rtr , if touring is your priority xpulse
Go for Xpulse 4V
Don't buy this shit bro 😢
@@Amityadav77158?
Yeh gaadi not good on wet roads other than this...everything looks good...also it's better not to use tvs engine oil and go for others....otherwise tappet noise can be seen..
"Odo clocker" kesa rahega
Means ?
bro motul engine oil use kro meri apache ko 5 years ho gaye or koi problem nai aayi aaj tak service centre gaya he nai main bhar se service karata hu mera mechanic bhot best hai superbike bhi karta hai wo
Yes me jald hi motul dalne wala hu
aapki bike me itani sari problem kyu he pata nahi but meri bike me aesa kuch nahi he bus aek hi problem ay thi vo bhi normal thi mene 2 sal me 35km chala di he but bike pehlese achi chal rahi he.
Hy buddy.
Just a suggestion.
How about a Ladhak ride.

Funnily mine is April 21 batch and even I had to replace my fuel pump within a year.
Problem with whole batch
i am also owning this bike since 2½yr, done 14250km. apart from its engine and chain noise no complaint. engine do lot of mechanical noise, changed cam shaft at 7000 km under warranty but still problem is same. intially sound from bike is bassy and pleasent to hear but after doing 80- 100 km ride, sound from engine changes drastically. it feels like engine is running dry. lot of mechanical and different sound.
since my purchase i am using motul chain lube or yamaha chain lube, changed chain guide also, do chain lube after every 300km but still problem is same.
chain noise is bearable but engine noise disappoint me always.
company fitted tyre was horrible on wet roads. currently using apollo trampler xr for both wheels.
I going to buy rtr 200 4v
Can anyone tell real time mileage city and highway
35
I have Apache 160 4v.I done 108000 km.Aftet 75000 km don't use the tvs synthetic oil.That oil only for 3500 km.Not for 5000 km.

While shifting 2nd to 3rd gear it feels hard like shifting gear without using clutch, does you or someone face similar kind of issue??..

I have faced this problem but while shifting from 3 to 2 or 1 to 2. Also, a very disturbing sound comes as if the gearbox is about to crack
