BORN OF A RACING GENE
Every Apache is born of a racing gene. This can be traced back to 1982 when a TVS Moped clocked 105 km/h and
since then we’ve never looked back. TVS Racing has the distinction of being India’s first factory racing team and with
that legacy comes pride.

RACING GENE
In 2005 the racing DNA manifested itself into the TVS
Apache, a machine that would set alight the tracks
of not only India, but the world. The RTR name has
become a mainstay of the top step of the podium.

Running-in Recommendations
Running-in is essential to preserve engine life and performance over time. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run
in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. The first 1000 km is a running-in period for your motorcycle.
Maximum engine speed during running-in 0 to 1000 km - below 7000 rpm.
During the first 1000 km, avoid the full throttle starts and rapid acceleration, which could expose the engine parts to
excessive stress. It is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended rpm limit.
Avoid riding at constant engine rpm for prolonged periods.
During initial running, use brakes gently. Do not brake hard or keep brake applied for too long to enable a correct
break-in of brake pad friction material against the brake discs. To allow all the mechanical parts of motorcycle to adapt
each another, and to avoid reduction of engine components life, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and
running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.
Check the drive chain frequently and if required adjust it. Also ensure that the chain is lubricated as required to
increase its service life.
RUNNING-IN INFORMATION
On completion of running -in period, scheduled maintenance service should be observed carefully without fail. Failure to
comply with this will result in damage to the engine parts and other key parts of the vehicle or shorter engine life. Keeping to
the running-in recommendations will ensures longer engine life and reduce the need for overhauls and re-tuning.
Caution
During running-in period, only ‘Urban’ and ‘Rain’ ride modes will be available for the rider to select. The other three ride
modes like ‘Sport’, ‘Track’ & ‘Supermoto’ will be available for selection only after the completion of running-in period and
enabled by the TVS Motor Company Authorised Service personal.

SAFE RIDING TIPS
Safe Riding Recommendations
The following points are applicable for every day
usage of your motorcycle and should be observed
carefully for safe riding of your motorcycle.
Riding skills and your mechanical knowledge forms
the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest
you to practice riding your TVS Apache RTR 310 in a
low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar
with your motorcycle and its controls.
Most of the accidents are the result of inexperience
of rider. Always make sure you are carrying your
driving license with you; you must have a valid
license that enables you to ride a motorcycle of this
kind. Avoid lending your motorcycle to the persons
who are inexperienced and not holding a valid driving
license.
A motorcycle is not designed to provide impact
protection, so defensive riding in addition to wearing
of protective apparel is very important.
Please do not let the protective apparels give you a
false sense of security.
Both the rider and the pillion should always wear an
ISI approved, correct fit, comfortable and good quality
safety helmet before riding the vehicle. Because, one
of the most serious injury that can happen is an head
injury.
You should also have a good quality goggles to
protect your eyes and help your vision.
Avoid wearing loose clothes or accessories that
could become tangled in the controls or limit your
field of vision.
Riding at proper speed and avoiding sudden
acceleration or deceleration are not only important for
safety and low fuel consumption. It is also important
for longer life of vehicle and smoother operation.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
To prevent or minimise accident, never consume
alcohol or drugs before or during the operation of
your vehicle. Even minimal consumption of these will
affect the rider’s ability to control the vehicle.
Ride within the law and observe national and local
rules. Always respect speed limits. However, adjust
your speed according to the visibility, road and traffic
conditions.

Be sure about your visibility and do not ride with the
blind spot of vehicles or obstruction ahead you.
Take additional care at road junctions, exits of private
land, car parks and on the service roads to highways.
Before changing the lanes or take a turn, look over
your shoulder and make sure that your way is clear.
Do not completely rely on the rear view mirrors; you
may misjudge a vehicle’s distance and speed, or you
may not see is at all.
Always use turn signal lamps when you intend to
change lanes or take a turn. Be sure to switch it off
after changing the lane or negotiating the corner.
The rider should keep his/her foot on the footrests
while riding the motorcycle.
Always hold the handlebars firmly with both hands in
order to be ready for sudden changes of direction or
in the road surface.
Under no circumstances should both the hands be
removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
While riding in wet conditions, on loose gravels, the
ability to maneuver the vehicle will be reduced. Ride
smoothly on this conditions. Sudden acceleration,
braking or turning may cause loss of control.
On the wet roads, rely more on the throttle to control
vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes.
Use the throttle judiciously to avoid skidding the rear
wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration.
On the rough roads, exercise caution, slow down and
grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability.
To get quick acceleration during overtakes, shift to a
lower gear to obtain the necessary power.
Do not downshift the gear abruptly at high rpm to
avoid damage to the engine due to overreving.
Avoid unnecessary weaving for the safety of both the
rider and other motorists.
While riding on uphill, shift to a lower gears so
that there is plenty of power to spare rather than
overloading the engine.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a
corner.
Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
Progressive application of brake is safer. Never
depress the clutch lever while braking at higher
speeds.
