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 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 service will ensure optimum service life and performance from the engine.

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.

RUNNING-IN INFORMATION

01

Caution

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 a good quality 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.

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 DFiLOGIC

Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge forms the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice

riding TVS Apache RTR 200 4V DFiLOGIC 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.

SAFE RIDING TIPS

02

Warning

One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands

firmly on the handle bar and both feet securely on the

foot rest. Under no circumstances should both the

hands be removed from the handle bar, as it is very

dangerous.

Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could

lead to fatal accident.

Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.

Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a

corner. If this is the first time that you are riding a

vehicle of this type, we suggest that you practice on a

safe, open area to thoroughly familiarise with the

operation of the vehicle.

Posture

Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.

1. Keep your elbows relaxed and flexible.

2. Sit and adjust yourself on seat so that the arms

and shoulders are relaxed.

3. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.

4. Keep the knees close to the fuel tank.

Cornering

When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction

perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle is

moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion with

speed and the radius of the corner.

During cornering, reduce speed so as to reduce the

effects of centrifugal force. Avoid abrupt application

of brake or sudden steering by all means.

03

Warning

SAFE RIDING TIPS

3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from front

brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor

braking.

As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance

also increases progressively. Be sure that, you have

sufficient distance between you and the vehicle or

obstruction ahead of you.

Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can

cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both

the brakes together and with great care on a wet

road or other slippery surfaces. Any abrupt braking

on slippery or irregular roads can cause loss of rider

control.

Braking

For safe riding, it is very important to master the

braking techniques.

1. Close / release the throttle.

2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brakes.

3. Progressive application of brakes is safer.

4. Never depress the clutch lever while braking at

higher speeds.

5. Apply both the brakes.

6. While riding down hills, cornering and on wet

roads close the throttle and down shift the gear to

take advantage of gearbox and engine which acts

as an additional brake. This will avoid the loss of

control over the vehicle due to over speed.

Causes for poor braking

1. If the brake shoes / pads or drum / disc are worn

out or if there is water or oil on them, sufficient

friction does not develop and brakes do not work

well.

2. Even when the brakes work normally, if the road

surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out,

tyres do not take a firm hold on the surface,

increasing the stopping distance.

04

SAFE RIDING TIPS

Warning

If the vehicle needs any adjustments, please consult

nearest TVS Motor Company Authorised Distributor

or Dealer / Authorised Service Center.

While adequate care is exercised at the factory to

ensure that the emissions are within the limits, it is

essential for the owner to always maintain the

motorcycle in good condition by getting it periodically

checked and serviced by TVS Motor Company

Authorised Distributor or Dealer / Authorised Service

Center so that the emission and fuel consumption

levels are maintained as per norms.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

TIPS

Use extreme caution while selecting and installing the

accessories for your motorcycle.

The addition of unsuitable accessories can lead to

unsafe operating conditions. Your friendly

Distributor / Dealer will assist you in selecting quality

accessories and installing them correctly.

While selecting the accessories, make sure the

accessories should not obstruct lighting, steering,

suspension level and ground clearance. Please

ensure that if the tank cover is used, it is not getting

en-trapped between fuel tank and fuel tank cap.

Additional electrical equipments and controls

should not exceed the specified electrical system

load of the vehicle (capacity of battery and

magneto).

EMISSION CONTROL

All the TVS motorcycles are tested in the factory for

optimum fuel efficiency and lowest possible CO

levels.

Do not disturb the fuel supply settings as this may

lead to higher fuel consumption and also higher

CO levels.
