[Resolved] TVS Motor / Apache Rtr 160 — Engine making lots of noise, lots of vibration near spark plug etc.

S Sreedharan M from Bengaluru, Karnataka Feb 5, 2009

Hello, I baut Apache RTR 160 some 3 months back i.e. on Oct24-2008 and I really regret when I look its condition now. I am really fed up with this bike now. I have already given my bike for two FREE services. After the second service I found too many problems except the bike was cleaned like Plug Cylinder Head was not fixed properly, Damper Assy Handle Bar missing, rubber bush was missing from battery box, rear break bolts were loose etc. I had to give the bike for re-work on second service as it started making too much of noise near spark plug that is because PLUG CYLINDER HEAD was not fixed properly I believe. They said PLUG CYLINDER HEAD is not in stock and said will call you once it comes, but by the time they call I have driven my bike almost 1000 kms with same condition. I never felt any smoothness in the engine after the service. And finally they got the PLUG HEAD fixed, there was not much noise after that for ONLY one DAY but after that it started making even more noise compare to before :-( So disgusting, mechanics are so irresponsible. And the PLUG HEAD is fixed in such a way that doesn't look like its done by experts (mechanics). I had taken my bike once again to show this, and same like before they said part is out of stock so they will call me once it comes. I am really frustrated with this issue now and looking for sum action. I have been constantly complaing about some strange sound in the engine but was never looked upon, some craking sound in the engine, and many other. I ride bike on the highways and its really scary to drive this bike, Nothing stable even after complaints during the service. I have purchased this bike from The Bharath Automobiles Agency #2, 9th Main, 2nd Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore-560 011. Ph No.[protected] Contact Person : Murali: [protected] I have given the bike for first two service in the same TVS service centre. Engine No: 0E4G82106073. Chassis No- MD634KE4382G04937 Bike No: KA01 EK 5616 Dont know whether my voice will be heard or not, but its a kind request to the authorities of this forum to please make my voice be heard as a citizen of Indian. Please contact me at : Sreedharan M, Contact No: [protected] Its too disgusting when you buy such a costly product(67K) and vapourizes in months. Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)

i own a TVS APACHE 150cc, since one and a half year and i have problems with engine noise, pickup and speed and recently with the engine itself which was opened recently. the showroom opened the engine, replaced the valve what they thought was damaged and charged me about indian Rs 2200 but nothing has changed. the bike i even begginging to have trouble at 50kmph even in the highways. all the other apache were complaining the similar problems and i sometimes i think they are running a trial in my bike. though i am not an expert with the engine mechanics, i sure do know nobody ever paid that that amount despite the engine warranty. i am very disspointed with the first bike of my life and riding it annoys me everyday.
i am not even compraing to bike to any 150 cc category bike, i even regretingly find it dissapointing that it does not even do as good as other 125cc or 100 cc category bike, which i had the option to choose economically.
though i dont have the engine specifications, i did buy this bike from the authorised dealer here in nepal, pokhara. only one here in our town. i am even confused whom to blame the manufacturere or the dealer...

if any suggestion please do reply me at [protected]@hotmail.com
