DRIVE CHAIN
Proper lubrication and adjustment of drive chain gives long service life of chain. Poor
maintenance of chain causes premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets.
Poor chain maintenance also affects mileage of the vehicle. The drive chain must be
cleaned, checked, lubricated and adjusted at specified intervals mentioned in the
maintenance schedule.
If the vehicle is used under severe conditions and more dusty area, the drive chain must
be attended more frequently.
Check, clean, lubricate and adjust the drive chain in the following manner:
1. Place the vehicle on centre stand with the transmission in neutral.
2. Inspect the drive chain slackness (vertical movement) using the finger as shown in
the figure.
3. The slackness of the drive chain should not exceed the limit (maximum 20 ~ 30
mm). Excess slackness consumes more fuel.
4. If the slackness is found more, contact TVS Motor Company Authorised Main
Dealer / Authorised Dealer for adjustment.
5. If the slackness found is within the limit, clean the chain with TRU SPRAY chain
cleaner & dry cloth and lubricate using TRU SPRAY / TRU4 oil.

SPARK PLUG
1. Clean the dust and mud around the spark plug mounting to avoid falling inside the
cylinder.
2. Pullout the suppressor cap from the spark plug.
3. Using the spark plug spanner, remove the spark plug.

A spark plug with heavy carbon deposits will not produce strong sparks. Hence, only if
necessary, clean the carbon deposits from the spark plug with a small wire brush or
spark plug cleaning tool.
Inspect the spark plug electrodes (A) and (B) for any corrosion. If found any replace the
spark plug with new.
Inspect the spark plug gap visually (0.9 ~ 1.0 mm). If found more, replace
the spark plug with a new one.
After cleaning and inspecting the gap, reinstall the spark plug and tighten by
hand to avoid cross threading. Finally tighten using spark plug spanner. Do
not over tight or cross thread the spark plug. After reassembling the plug fix
back the suppressor cap and ensure its proper fitment.

ABS warning lamp

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V does an automatic self check every time when the
ignition switch is turned ‘ON’. The ABS warning lamp provided at the speedometer
console blinks and informs you that the ABS is under check.
This ABS warning lamp goes ‘OFF’ once the bike reaches 6 km/h speed and above and
the ABS warning lamp blinks whenever the bike speed is less than 6 km/h speed
indicating that the ABS is working fine.
If the warning lamp glows continuously even after the bike crossing 6 km/h speed,
then the ABS has an error and your bike should be taken to any of our nearest TVS

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

Your motorcycle is fitted with a Single Channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) in
the front brake system which is

designed to prevent skidding and help riders to maintain steering control during
emergency-stopping situation in dry

or wet roads, loose gravels etc.

How does ABS work?
When a rider applies the front brake continuously, as he detects a dangerous obstacle in
dry or wet roads, loose gravels etc. Transmits an excessive brake force to the wheel.
This excessive force may cause the wheels to stop spinning and leads to lose of road
grip. With no firm contact between the tire’s contact patch and the road surface, the bike
becomes unstable and a crash is imminent. The slipping wheels on a riding surface
results in losing control of whole motorcycle which usually occurs in fractions of a
second. Restoring traction while keeping the bike balanced is only a result of luck, or
extreme training, as is the case of professional stunt riders who drift. Preventing the
wheels from slipping due to excessive braking force compensates losing control and
help the rider to maneuver the vehicle and to avoid accidents.

So what the ABS does is actually limiting the braking force exerted by the rider by
either squeezing the lever and keep the wheel spinning. Once the imminence of the
locking (and therefore skidding) is avoided, the system re-applies the maximum
braking force until the next skid is anticipated. By limiting the max force of the
braking maneuver, the ABS systems practically allow the riders to use the greatest
stopping force possible without locking the front wheel

How does the ABS understands the wheel locking?

The ABS uses continuous wheel speed monitoring system; wheel speed sensors and
toner rings and a Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU)During normal operation
the ABS works similar to a normal brake. The speed sensor fitted on the front wheel
measures

the rotational speed of the front wheel, when the wheel speed reduces rapidly i.e.
Wheel tends to lock, the HECU
modulates the pressure in the brake circuit and thereby prevents the wheel from
locking
HANDLE BAR LEFT SIDE
. On the left side of the Apache 4V's handlebar, you'll find various controls and
components. These may include the clutch lever, the turn signal switch, the horn
