RIDING YOUR TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

constant speed running, without increase in vehicle
speed indicates clutch slip. The slipping clutch will
cause high fuel consumption, poor acceleration and
overheating of engine.
Since paper filter is used in your motorcycle, it is not
advised to clean the filter. Replace the filter in case of
any abnormalities.
A dirty air cleaner element restricts airflow and
increases fuel consumption. Replace the element
every 12000 kms.
Clutch

lever play, immediately have the clutch checked by
TVS Motor Company Authorised Distributor or Dealer

Air cleaner element
However the spark plug need to be replaced every
12000 kms (1 year). Always use recommended spark
plug only.
Check and arrest fuel leak if any from tank, carburettor
and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak will drain the
fuel tank completely.
Regularly inspect the engine cum transmission oil for
correct level and top-up if necessary. Get it replaced at
regular intervals as per the maintenance schedule.

10W 30 API-SL, JASO MA2).
Fuel leak
Engine cum transmission oil
Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil increases
the friction between various parts of the engine and
reduces the engine life, thereby increases fuel
consumption.
Never drive the vehicle with the clutch lever pressed.
This will reduce the life of clutch and affect the vehicle
performance and fuel economy.
