RIDING YOUR APACHE RTR 180
The rider should always select the most suitable
gear to achieve the necessary speed and pulling
power smoothly.
Riding on hills / gradients
When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle may
begin to slow down and show lack of power. At this
point you should shift to a lower gear so that the
engine will again be operating in its normal power
range. Shift gears rapidly to prevent the motorcycle
from losing momentum.
When riding down a hill, the engine may be used as
braking by shifting to a lower gear.
STOPPING AND PARKING
1. Close the throttle completely and apply both
the brakes simultaneously.
2. Down shift the gears as the road speed
decreases. Bring the engine to neutral position
just before the vehicle stops.
Warning
Reduce speed to a safe limit before turning /
cornering. Do not apply brake while turning /
cornering. Do not disengage clutch before braking.
3. Turn the ignition 'OFF'.
4. Park the vehicle on a firm, flat surface.
5. Lock the steering and turn 'OFF' the fuel cock.
FUEL RECOMMENDATION

The petrol should be 85 to 95 octane by research
method. Use recommended fuel additives for
longer life of engine components and lower
maintenance. Petrol mixed with ethanol will have
impact on engine components. Contact your TVS
Motor Company Authorised Distributor / Dealer or
Authorised Service Centers for usage.
Caution
Never mix oil in petrol in the fuel tank. Always fill fuel
from the reputed and reliable fuel stations.
