Keep both left and right shock absorbers spring adjusters 

in the same position. Adjust step by step. Do not go at a 

stretch as it will damage the cam.

During the time of delivery of the motorcycle, the rear 

suspension is adjusted to the standard configuration.

REAR SHOCK ABSORBER

TVS Apache RTR 160 is provided with triple rated, 

5 step adjustable, monotube inverted gas filled rear 

shock absorbers to meet different road and load. 

There are 5 notches for adjusting spring load.
If the spring is adjusted to the minimum notch, then 

the shock absorber will be softer which is good for 

light loads. If the spring is adjusted to maximum 

notch then it will be stiffer which is good for heavy 

loads.
Adjust the spring pre-load by shifting the adjuster 

to the required notch according to the different load 

conditions. The more you compress the spring, the 

suspension becomes more stiff.

Do not heat / tamper the canister filled with GAS.

SOFT
