TVS Motor Company Complaints & Reviews

I am facing the same problem. I purchased my bike on 11/08/08 from chittorgarh (raj.), there is a continuous abnormal sound from engine and the bike vibrates like hell beyond 50kmph.In btwn does posting complaints on this site really helps ?????

for first 1000 kms you should ride your bike below 50 kms. and even then problem occurs take it to some other tvs it should be solved!

I'm having the same thing, but before giving a solution, please answer the below 2 questions

Question 1
Did you ride a bajaj bike (pulsar 180 or Disvover 125 or a Hero Honda bike) after purchasing the TVS Apache 150 or 160

Question 2
Did you try comparing the engine vibration of Bajaj/Hero Honda bike with the TVS Apache.


If both answers are yes; Please read the below facts.

Bajaj or Hero Honda or any Japanese bikes have a less engine vibration when riding.
Bajaj & TVS engines comes with diferent technologies.
TVS company makes very good fuel efficient bikes but riding conditions are poor.
Bajaj company makes very good riding condition(comfortable) bikes but milage per litre is lower.
But Bajaj company is trying to make fuel efficient bikes,
but they cannot make bothe at once (very good comfortable + very good fuel efficient bikes)
And Bajaj makes quality bikes.
Try comparing the outer finishing of a Bajaj bike with a TVS bike.
Bajaj uses a higher technology than the TVS does. (ex: first digital meter bike)

Finally you have to understand that the problem you are having is not a problem,
That is the nature(poor condition) of the TVS Apache bikes. (I understood this)

But you guys have be happy and proud of your selves as you have got a fuel efficient bike.
When the petrol price goes high, Bajaj bikers are selling their bikes.

If you having a good income(salary) go for a Bajaj Bike
If the income is low, then it is better to go for a tvs bike.

Try and understand the diferrent between the two technologies.

P. S. don't take fast bends with TVS bikes, because you will see one day, Bajaj bikes turn bends easily
But Tvs.. it is bit hard to turn a bend with TVS bikes.

Hi All,

I just wanna say u that i too have an yellow RTR 160Fi & you guys are right it shakes lot after 50 kmph. I am not taking TVS side, all of there bikes have same problem, for sure Apache will give you 'Vibration'. TVS have to seriously look in this matter, as the apache lovers are getting there hand on so called pulsar or FZ (which I don't like)So before buying you could have made some study for the same. But as u all will agree to me, the feel of the bike will forget you the vibration which it gives.

And you all are right. TVS mechanics are a bit strange. I mean they react to situation quite late. After buying my bike on 27-Feb-2009, they changed my silencer, digital meter, some fuel gauge & all. but after making me come again & again to them & now a new problem to bike, the bike automatically turn off while running. & after a some mins of drama, it works again as the problem never occurred. BUT the BIKE is Awesome over all.

TVS PLZZZZZZZZ do something for 'Vibration' yaar...The new one 180 also has same problem. C'mon we love APACHE & ya eagerly wait for the 200 or 220 variants if its true...lolz

pls gaid me, i want to buy tvs apachi 160 Fi its ok?

tvs apache 150 wiring detail

tvs apache 150 electricals complaint

I had bought a apache rtr 3 months back and from the first day
I heard a knocking noice from its front while driving in gutter roads i had complaint lot to my dealer but they have no well traind machanics and my problem is still there so please give the concerned person of tvs company.so i complaint there

yup all the complaints are true. Just visit tvs motor company's site n there in contact get the numbers and do complains

i am going through the same trouble, wobbling of the front, issue with the t bar, shocker rods slightly bent, everything in disorder. TVS, please stop making bikes.

I have purchased TVS APACHE RTR 180(MD634KE68C2D26241/OE6DC2152800) from HEM TVS, Satara on 25th May, 2012. I went to many other company showrooms and then decided on purchasing TVS APACHE RTR 180 based on the presales service I got at the showroom.

I was a happy owner of APACHE RTR 180 for last one month, but seems like my honeymoon with my bike was only for one month. It changed into a Nighmare when I went to get the first free service today morning. This done I then requested for delivery of the bike and paid the Rs. 375 /- bill(oil+oil filter) and took the delivery challan. I then went to the security to get my keys. He gave me some keys which I instantly recognized as not being mine. I told him the same, but i got the response that as the key has got some token number 36 attached it is my key. I then very politely told the security guy that this is not my key and it seems to be misplaced and let me check. I went through the box and found out the correct key.

I thought it is fine and this may happen some times so not a very big issue. I then went to my bike and tried to start the bike, I tried both the starters (Kick as well as self start) but it didn't start. I then told this to the nearby mechanic and told him to look at it. That guy then starting fiddling with the bike pulling the choke and trying to start the bike. He then very harshly pulled the spark plug and blowed some air by his mouth into it. I was shocked to find out that there seemed to some water on the spark plug which is not expected. He then put the spark plug into it`s place and tried to start the bike once again. The bike was starting and stopping for which he then pulled the throttle at the extremity, which I don't suppose is right for a new bike.

The bike then somehow started. Seeing all this ill treatment to the bike I just wanted to leave the service center, which I did as soon as possible. Just to check if everything is fine I then rode my bike for a while and it seem to be fine. I came home and thought that may god help me and the bike is fine.

In the evening I once again took the bike for a ride and what i came to know is that there is some kirr. kirr sound from the rear part of my bike. Now I don't know what to do as the bike was almost fine till the first service. I am very afraid to go back to the service center and increase the ordeals I am already facing.

Additionally now by bikes`s front is wobbleing like hell at the speed range of 50-70 KM/s. Now I fell like robbed and dont know what to do next.

TVS Motors - Worse customer service

I have approached one of the TVS authorized service center for

1. General Service,
2. Overhauling of fork and
3. Replacement of shock absorbs.

First 2 things have been taken care and for 3rd item they have asked me to approach them after 2 days. There was no use, again same excuse like come after 2 days. At last 6th day (26.06.2008) I was able to get the spare part and fitting taken care by themselves. Unfortunately spare part sold to me was too worse, worse than my actual part which is not in good condition, it was absolutely not functioning, hard and immediately I started getting body ache. I immediately went back to them with actual condition of sold goods. They said that the concerned person is on leave and you can come after 4 days or so. Every 2nd and 3rd day I have visited but there was no use. On 10th June I am able to meet concerned person. Immediately that guy said the goods are new and good. In fact your vehicle has got alignment problem. I asked him that what the connection between alignment and suspension is? (When his own person admitted that new product is not good)When my defected shock absorb can work why can’t new? He argued with me, I told him if I can prove that the old shock absorber is better that new (Sold to me)? He said let us try? I am sure you are wrong? They have fixed my shock absorber and it was really better than the new. Then I asked them for replacement, they came up with new excuse like you have used this for more than 15 days and replacement is not possible. I clearly proved that I have visited your workshop for more than 8 times in 15 days. After that he said that it cannot be done by them and I need to go to TVS Company. I said it’s not possible for me to travel all the way to Chennai to get help. Is that makes sense! i am looking for a resolution from TVS. Can anybody help me.

I, am owner of scooty pep+.Basically i want to put forward a complaint for the improper services provided by service centres of south kanpur zone, namely mahindra motors(tvs scooty service centre) at kidwai nagar kanpur.

I am the owner of maruti zen lxi. My vehicle was having an electrical problem. It was dut to the wire neare by the right fender damaged by the rat. I approached the Bagavathi Auto Works authorized TVS motors work shop, Medavakkam, Chennai-600 001 on 28.03.2009. They immediately put a job card and asked me to come at 2.00pm. I was also agreed and went to tambaram for my personel work. Within 45mts, one of the person from that auto works communicated through my cell phone regarding the aproximate bill amout of Rs.2000/- for that work and immediately I replied to stop that work. After 1hr, I went there and I knew that there was no work was carried on my vehicle and immediatly I asked that person responsible for that one regarding my veichle. He asked Rs.2000/- for that work. I refused to pay that one and he asked Rs.500/- for the regisration of job card and there was no bill was issued for the same. The same work was performed in the other place with Rs.100/-only. For the discharge of vehicle was also not recorded by them.

Dear Sirs

This is to inform you that I have purchased TVS Scooty pep+ from Subam Motors, Chennai-12 on 29/7/2008. After three months (after 2 free services) I had problem with my horn . When I pressed the horn key there was no sound. So on my return from my office I straight away went to the service centre and informed the same at around 5.30 p.m. They (Mr. Nehru) checked and found that the earth was not proper. Thery rectified the same. I went for the 3rd service on 2nd February 2009 and got the vechicle on that day itself. After 10 days again I had the same problem with my horn. While pressing the horn key there was no sound. I contacted Mr. Mohan, Service supervisor and he asked Mr. Nehru to check the same. He tried a lot for more that 1 hour and finally he made some correction inside the horn and made it to work and thry promissed me to replace the same during my next service. My 4th paid serive was on 30th April 2009. But the serive centre at Subham was closed and I was not able to give my vehicle on that day. Today it was opened and surprised to note that the management was changed. When I told about the horn problem for replacement they told they will check with the TVS company and made the necessary arrangement. But when I went there to take my vechicle they told me that they have tuned the horn and there would not be any problem in future and since this is a paid service this part could not be replaced. Hence I want to inform you the matter before taking delivery. Since this is under warranty I want to replace my horn. I request you to look into the matter and do the needful.

Hope you will act wisely.

Yours faithfully

Iam Nithya I sent my vehicle (scooty Pep) for the paid service.While Iam leaving my vehicle the only problem was starting problem but after three idays i gone there to get back my vehicle. I was shocked because seat of my vehicle is teared. I ask the reason to service manager i got such an irresponsible reply that is if you are not satisfied then leave your vehicle and go.i got annoyed then i complained to HO Ambattur there also no proper reply.what is my question is if seat is teared while iam leaving for service then it will be noted in Job card but it is not they are simply passing the bug and spoiling the brand image of TVS. Atleast with this mail they can try something goood to the customers

Totally irresponsible TVS dealer (SBM TVS - ayanavaram) and equally useless tvs officials.

Reg:Self starting & Kick starting problem.
