Thank you bro ❤️. You gave me the idea to do it. I actually had no plans this soon. I didn't notice the DTH guy only hahah. We are Indians we can carry anything on bike✌️
I am currently in Mysuru. From which showroom you had purchased the RTR 200 and where are you giving for service ? Does RTR has side stand ? If not, in unprecedented situation how we would start the bike ?
If I were to buy a bike right now, for a beginner myself who has only ridden an Activa. What would you suggest me? Should I go for Ronin, Apache 200 4V or jump to the Triumph Speed 400. My use would be mainly city and causal weekend rides. Please do suggest me what I should go for since you are an experienced rider, I am 5'11 with an average build. I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you!
Hello, as you are a beginner and only ridden a moped, Speed 400 would not be an ideal bike to start with. Ronin, RTR 200, or any other 200/250 cc segment would work well. Ronin and RTR both work well for city commutes and long rides. Ronin is more like a cruiser, with good comfort, enough torque, and fuel efficient for city commutes. Whereas RTR is more sportier with good bottom and mid end power. As you are tall enough, it might get uncomfortable in the long run and city conditions, but if you like to enjoy the sportier riding position and want to be closely engaged to the bike, RTR can be one of the best options. Ronin would work well for your height if you are looking for a rider and pillion comfort, I believe.

Hi bro, please let me know about the average tank range you’re getting with full tank. And any idea about the adjustable front forks that the new RTR200 is coming with? Are they really giving effective feedback?
Hey, I'm currently getting 44 kmpl, and the tank range falls in between 460-470. It still goes 20-30 kms additional, but it uses the reserve 2.5 litres of fuel. The model I own doesn't have adjustable suspension, but I think it's a good feature as it can be set based on the road conditions.
I have used castrol power 1 ultimate 10w40, but that makes my engine to rebuild in 3,500 km, i dont know what happens inside but tipically the engine makes weird noise, now i am using liqui moly synthetic, it is good oil better than stock... I don't like urban and rain moide, need frequently to change gear in city
There's a negligible weight difference on the rear side, but it doesn't affect the handling in any way. I wanted to reduce the weight slightly. That's the reason the saree guard was removed.
I was considering to Buy an Apache for a long time but still confused between 160 & 200. I'm office going person and want a bike for daily commute to office and some occasional long rides of 300 to 500 kms during weekends. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Hello, I recommend 200 as it can do well in both conditions. Apache 160 is also a comfortable machine, but 200 has an edge due to a higher top end and refinement. The fuel efficiency is also decent in the city and highway.
Namskara bro, Even I have the same wobbling issue around 70-80 in my apache as well it ran around 20k should I check my tyre, I suspected the tyre might be one, but wasn't sure, can you reply bro how is it now ?
Namskara, bro. Yes, tyres are one of the main causes of wobbling, that too in certain speeds. If not the tyres, then it could be the coneset or alloy bends.
hey there... currently i have the bs3 rtr 200 model which i have already clocken about 80k kms till now.

Is it worth to switch from bs3 model to bs6 apache ? Also, In terms of power, performance is the new bs6 apache worth buying ?
Hello, RTR 200 BS6 is a good option. The difference you may feel is with the power figures. BS6 engines are underpowered compared to BS3. This is the case with all brands, not just TVS. The refinement and fuel efficiency are better in BS6 engines. The low/mid end resembles BS4, but the top end feels lacking. It won't make any major difference if you're ok with the speeds between 90-110 while touring.
@@MMT31 hmm i am from Nepal and we dont have the roads to travel to speeds at 100 as the road conditions are not so good. So as i am satisfied with the riding and performance of apache, Bs6 version can be a good choice ? And is the punch and trill in the mid ranges same as the older versions bs4 and bs3 ?
It's not exactly the same as BS3 or BS4, but almost there. There's a slight dip. It would be better to take a call after a test ride and experience the difference in real.

Appreciate your efforts to bring such an informative video. Really helpful! I am using Castrol 20W 50. It feels okay but gear shifting has become terrible. Could you suggest me the best engine oil for smooth gear shifting and also best chain lube
Thank you bro! Motul does well with the gear shifts as far as I've heard and I personally feel it's smoother than Castrol. 20W50 is too thick for Apache, maybe that could be the reason for harder gear shifts I guess. Motul 10w40 would be good. For chain lube you can try TRM calidad, it has worked well for me.
Great review.. will be planning to buy this bike soon for weekend rides. Wanted to know the exact RPM at 85 to 90KPH in 5th gear. Also can you do 90kmph all day long without getting annoyed of the lack of 6th gear?
I m rtr 200 bs4 owner. try out the liqui moly street race once. I have tried motul 7100 , 300v , shell but liqui moly feels better in high revs compared to all.
Thanks for your inputs. I remember you had recommended Motul 7100 when I was using Castrol. I'll definitely try Liquimoly Street Race. I've also heard that Semi Synthetic oils like Motul 5100 15w50 works well on oil cooled engines. A lot of people i know are using it on RTR 200 and has good feedback about it. How's the gear shifting experience with Liquimoly?
Hello, for white I think you can go for ceramic coating or gloss ppf. Matte ppf would not be a good fit for white. You can get it done from any detailing shop where they work on ceramic and ppf. I would recommend you the gloss ppf as it can have a self healing feature which takes down the swirl marks or small scratches.

Your comprehensiveness is commendable. I'd like to know your thoughts on the Ronin, and perhaps compare that to your Apache, ideally side by side, using Apache as a scale for how good (or not) the Ronin is.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I haven't got a chance to test ride Ronin yet. I've been following up with the dealership requesting them for a test ride but they just have limited test ride vehicles at the moment. I hope early next month I would be able to get that vehicle and share my experiences here. Will keep you posted!:)
I own the apache 200 2021 model. My friend got the ronin this year and I rode that one for 100 kms and it was a great ride. Its base model is priced roughly same as apache 200. Ride both and see which ride speaks to you more. I really loved to the point I regretted buying 200 3 years earlier.
awesome review big brother, could you clear this one ? Is it necessary to blip the throttle while rev matching when apache rtr 200 4v provides the slipper clutch? do we need to blip while downshifting ? please answer anyone
Hello bro, thanks for your feedback. Regarding rev matching, I've just made it a practice to blip the throttle for smoother downshifts. As slipper clutch is in place, even aggressive downshift won't affect the engine. Downshifting without rev matching is completely fine with slipper clutch engines.

Not exactly issues but there will be some noticeable changes in the performance. Acceleration and fuel efficiency will have a slight drop and the front portion might feel a bit heavy while cornering and filtering through traffic.
Awesome long term ownership review. You have covered all the points of the bike. Well done! I wanted to buy this bike from long time but couldn't so i used to enjoy your vlogs. Now when I want to buy Apache tvs has come up with Ronin. Now I am confused. Can you please do us all a favour, can you test drive a Ronin and compare both bikes and gives us your thoughts. You will be better person to compare both bikes as you have good knowledge of Apache. Just a humble request!
Thanks for the feedback bro. I'm glad it was helpful. I actually checked with my dealer regarding Ronin but the availability is an issue in a city like Mysore. They've only allotted limited test ride bikes here. Atleast for the first few weeks, getting a test ride vehicle for more than a hour is a challenge here. I'll definitely follow up and try my best to make a review on that. I don't wanna give false hopes on the timeline but will surely try my best to help you with a review or comparison:)
I'm facing with a chain sprocket issue in my rtr 200 4v. I have changed it in a distance 18k but after one month it got damaged again. Is there any solution for this problem?
Hello, this doesn't seem like a common issue. I've clocked 24k kms with the same sprocket and not faced any issues so far, apart from normal wear and tear sound changes. I suggest replacing it with the Rolon chain and sprockets. Also, in case the chain is adjusted too tight, the issues can occur often.

@@MMT31 thank you so much brother this question has been always in my mind and now I got the answer ❤️ love from Nepal totally loved your way of explaining and the camera quality too .I wish you too have pretty good subscribers and good views .I already subscribed 🤗
No worries at all. Thanks a lot for your support. Glad it was helpful 🙂
@@MMT31 you really have good accessories to make videos check out fuel injected channel he reviews bikes in a separate place, maybe you can do like him ,you have good sceneries in Karnataka ..sorry IAM younger than you still I gave suggestion ..good night will meet in your next video 😊
Yeah, we really have beautiful places around Karnataka. Fuel Injected makes some crazy and informative content, I don't think I can ever match his knowledge level. At the moment I just love traveling and exploring places on my motorcycle :)
Nice review, I recently bought it, fully accessorized it, you should add a visor as looks bald sans it 😃
Thank you. 🙂
It looks sharp now, I'm not finding a visor that suits this bike perfectly.

Bro, how did u get matte black in 200 cc variant?
That's a matte ppf coating done on the stock gloss black paint.
@@MMT31 ok, How much does it cost and where dis you get it done?
@@rajeshpulicallu4965pls make video on ppf installation and details. Need more details which will help
Shell also best. Smooth ride
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I am using shell power petrol for my rtr 200 4v and getting 42 mileage and happy with it.

@@MMT31 thanks bro.
And also what about crash alert ,mean does it work
Never got a chance to experience it.
you will become big trust my words
Thank you for your words. I just want to help the motorcycling community as much as I can. :)
@@MMT31 just keep uploading and One more thing I shall buy the same bike but white colour next year so I'm just living my dreams through your videos right now.✨
Amazing! The white looks great tbh! It has a different look. Maybe apache can have more updates on the 2023 model✌️
@@MMT31 Yup hope so
Bro, is it possible to install 110 section tyre in front?
Hello, I don't think it would be a right fit. Upsizing rear tyre to the next level is fine but the front one should ideally be 90/90.
@@MMT31 Ya i agree to you, but still will it create any issue if decided to go for a fatter tyre?
Not exactly issues but there will be some noticeable changes in the performance. Acceleration and fuel efficiency will have a slight drop and the front portion might feel a bit heavy while cornering and filtering through traffic.
@@MMT31 Aah got your point. But i guess stability will get improved. Isn't it?
Yes I believe. Wider tyres will always have better grip but I'm not sure how the front tyre upsize works for a 200cc vehicle.
bro can ppf done on matte blue rtr?
No bro, I don't think so that's possible. But do check in the detailing shops if there are some ways to protect the matte paint.
What mileage you are getting now?
I'm getting an average of 44kmpl
BRO luggage carrier how much price
Hello, it costed around 7.5k including shipping.
Bro is that tyre stock size ? I mean 130 rear and 90 front
Yes bro, it's the same size. Front 90/90 17 and Rear 130/70 17.
@@MMT31will 90/90 front tyre give confidence in rainy reason and on slippery roads ?
Yes, it does. You just need to select the right tyre that works well in all conditions.
@@MMT31 thank you bro 👍
Awesome long term ownership review. You have covered all the points of the bike. Well done! I wanted to buy this bike from long time but couldn't so i used to enjoy your vlogs. Now when I want to buy Apache tvs has come up with Ronin. Now I am confused. Can you please do us all a favour, can you test drive a Ronin and compare both bikes and gives us your thoughts. You will be better person to compare both bikes as you have good knowledge of Apache. Just a humble request!
Thanks for the feedback bro. I'm glad it was helpful. I actually checked with my dealer regarding Ronin but the availability is an issue in a city like Mysore. They've only allotted limited test ride bikes here. Atleast for the first few weeks, getting a test ride vehicle for more than a hour is a challenge here. I'll definitely follow up and try my best to make a review on that. I don't wanna give false hopes on the timeline but will surely try my best to help you with a review or comparison:)
@@MMT31 appreciate your prompt response. Will look forward to watch your Ronin review video soon. Have a good week ahead! Ride safe!
No worries bro. Happy to help :)
I'm facing with a chain sprocket issue in my rtr 200 4v. I have changed it in a distance 18k but after one month it got damaged again. Is there any solution for this problem?
Hello, this doesn't seem like a common issue. I've clocked 24k kms with the same sprocket and not faced any issues so far, apart from normal wear and tear sound changes. I suggest replacing it with the Rolon chain and sprockets. Also, in case the chain is adjusted too tight, the issues can occur often.
What about build quality bro,
Build quality is good bro. It's not the best though but it has not given me any problems so far.
Nice review 👍 planning to buy pls talk in Kannada if possible it make easy to understand regional people 💗
Sure, will do. I'm doing it in English as it can reach a wider audience. If we can connect on Insta I can always help you if you have any questions.

You're always welcome! 😊
