TVS Apache RTR 180 Owner's Manual

The recommended engine oil for the TVS Apache RTR 180 is a high-quality 10W-30 or 10W-40 grade oil, suitable for 4-stroke motorcycles. It's crucial to use oil that meets the API SL or JASO MA2 standards to ensure optimal engine performance.
It is advisable to service your TVS Apache RTR 180 every 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers or every 3 to 4 months, whichever comes first. Regular servicing helps maintain the motorcycle's performance and longevity.
The recommended tire pressure for the Apache RTR 180 is 25 psi for the front tire and 28 psi for the rear tire. Maintaining proper tire pressure ensures better handling and fuel efficiency.
To enhance fuel efficiency, maintain a steady speed, avoid rapid acceleration and braking, regularly check tire pressure, and ensure timely servicing including air filter cleaning and spark plug checks.
If the engine overheats, stop the motorcycle in a safe place and let it cool down. Check for coolant levels and leaks. If the problem persists, consult a professional mechanic to prevent potential engine damage.
To adjust the chain tension, loosen the rear axle nut, adjust the chain adjusters equally on both sides, and ensure there is about 25-30 mm of slack. Tighten the axle nut and check alignment before riding.
Common electrical issues include a dead battery, faulty wiring, and blown fuses. Regular checks of the battery health, wiring connections, and fuse integrity can prevent most electrical problems.
Regularly inspect brake pads for wear, ensure the brake fluid is at the recommended level, and check for any leaks in the brake lines. Replacing worn pads and bleeding the brake system can improve braking performance.
To clean the air filter, remove the seat and filter cover, take out the filter, and gently clean it with compressed air or a soft brush. If heavily soiled, consider replacing it with a new one.
First, check the battery charge and connections, ensure the fuel is adequate, and inspect the spark plug for wear or fouling. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to seek professional mechanical assistance.
