my bike frequently giving problems
recently i took my vehicle to servicing centre which is associated are else running by Nikki Motors they took five days to solve the problem and i paid for the services an amount of Rs.2200 ,immediatly after twoo days again same problem continued and i took my bike again to the same service centre now tey took five days and even till now it is not returned with solving the problem.
Even i asked the management for a complaint book they are not giving and says write it on a white paper and give it, and they are not giving any receipt of receiving complaint.
I request you to go through my vehicles service log register of this service centre and u can find how many times i went to the service centre on same problem and how muck money i paid for this.

Hi

I am facing the rear disc brake issue with TVS RTR 180 rear disc brake. The entire brake (shoe n plate) need to be replaced. But i am not getting the spare parts from last 2 months. I searched with all the dealers in Kolkata. Surya TVS Shah TVS and durga distributors. I purchased the bike in Aug 09 and the problem started in July 10. I believe the part was in warranty that time. But i didnt get the part then and now today the bike is more than 1 year old. I dont know whether they are going the charge me or not. I also recieved very bad behaviors from Shah TVS which was not expected from a TVS Dealer. I request TVS to take care of the same. I found the after sale service quality and spare parts availability is very poor at TVS. Also i have to replace my rear foot peg. but again no one have the part available. Shah TVS iwas not even ready to keep the bike with them for 2-3 days and replace the brake. They dont even understand how difficult it is to drive the bike with only front and bring it to the workshop several times.
I expect them to replace the brake free of cost ASAP. Also need a reply from TVS ASAP.

Thanks
Shawan

HELLO SIR,My name is zaheer ahmed and i purchesed a TVS APACHE RTR FI bike on Aug 06/08/2008 whose reg no is DL 5S X 6126 from TANYA AUTOMOBILES khanpur .After some services a problem of missing start in 1st,2nd gear and increasing fuel consumption starts 30 to 35 km /litre average appear.I told every time to service centre mechanic of that problem but no solution from them.I want tell that this time it has lot of problem i[censored] could do any thing for me than do it

Respected Sir

I Bought a Apache Rtr 160 cc motor bike from M/s Shiv Shankar Trading co, Ambala road, Jagadhri-135003. on 27/09/09 bill no 3631 in the name of my father Mr Suriender Pal singh s/o Jagjit Singh #239 East Bhatia Nagar, Yamuna nagar. The bike details are

Engine no OE4F9F92191714
Chasis no MD634KE4492E89382
Key no 0378
Colour Black

The bike ran quite good in the initial 2-3 months but then it started with the problem of shocker in front as it gave TUCK sound when ever it goes through pot hole. The agency first gave an excuse that air pressure might be more so it may give this kind of sound but later when they checked it thoroughly they found that the oil in one the shocker in front was having less oil so they rectified it, But to my satisfaction it still gives the same sound.

The second problem that has arisen is the noise in the chain set. This problem has not been corrected by the agency people even when I have been complaining about this for the last 3 months. I even got my small revolving lever changed what we call in hindi ( geraari). The problem still persist with the bike.

The third problem is that the rear brake make sound of chheeeeeeee when ever I apply brake. The mechanics of the agency say that this is due to water in brakes, but I get it washed once in a week but it keeps making a sound even till the next weekend. I run my motorcycle 80 kms daily but still does it get dry after running 350-400 kms in a week.


Kindly look into this problem on urgent basis as it is causing a great dissatisfaction in me regarding the bike which may result in negative publicity.

SIR,

I HAVE PURCHESED TVS APACHE RTR 180 TWO MONTH BACK . FROM LAST ONE AND HALF MONTH IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING WELL AS ITS ENGINE NOT WORKING WELL AS IT STOPS WHEN IT ROLL ON ROAD ON ECONOMY SPEED

AT THE SLOP IT CAN NOT CLIMB WITHOUT A PERSON BACK FOR DHAKKA

MORE THAN THREE TIME I WENT TO DEALER FOR REPARING THEY SAYS THAT SOME OF THE PART ARE MISSING OR NOT FUNTIONING WELL THEY HAVE CALLED SOME ENGENEER FOR THAT BUT THE PROBLEME REMAINS SAME AS IT IS IN THE BEGINING

MY APACHE RTR RUNS HARDLY 2000 KM UP TO NOW

THE PURCHESE ADDRESS OF THE APACHE IS

THE SUPER SALES AGENCIES
RAJULA, 365560
DIST AMRELI
GUJARAT INDIA

MY NAME IS MAHESH AND MY PH NO [protected],

KINDLY ARRENGE TO REPLACE ME THE BYKE AS I M TIRED OF THAT

POOR QUALITY BIKE
Bike Owner Name: Debadatta Mishra.

Bike purchased on: 08/11/2009.

E.No- 0E5L92013366.
CH. No- MD634LE569L13667.

Defects in bike:
i) Abnormal vibration (whole bike body) after 50km/hr.
ii) Engine auto cutsoff (stop) in running.
iii) Misfiring.
iv) Knocking sound & pick up.
v) Gear box (Gear Slippage).
vi) Tyre skid (indicates poor TVS tyre quality).
vii) Faulty Tachometer & Fuel gauge.

Suffering from: After around 2 months of purchase.

Servicing: 3 times. (But problem persists till now).
1st two servicings at Gurugovind TVS (Rourkela)
3rd servicing at Jyoti Motors (Bhubaneswar)

Service support Limitation: Only computerised service stations can do the servicing/troubleshoot of FI version bikes. Based upon my research; in ORISSA such kind of service stations available in two locations(Bhubaneswar & Cuttack).

Purchased from: OBERAI TVS- CRPF Square, Bhubaneswar.

Promise of TVS sales man during purchase: Mr. Surya Patra of Oberai TVS had made me interested to buy FI variant TVS Apache RTR 160 FI where as I was previousely interested in non-FI version. As per him it is a premium segment quality bike of TVS in build quality, technology & looks. Also he informed me that, I can also avail service support from authorized service station in Rourkela (my workplace). But in actual; here in Rourkela- one & only Gurugovid TVS service station is available who have n't been equiped & trained to do servicing of TVS FI bikes. Servicing means only they understand oil change, air & oil filter replacement and cleaning of bike.

Finally I had to bring it to Bhubaneswar by train parcel for Servicing & toubleshoot.

Personal Experiece with the bike:

If our esteemed Indian Government will impose ban on foreign products; I will prefer to be bike less instead having a bike like TVS Apache RTR 160 FI.

If owner of TVS company will rufund my bike price (even after deducting depriciation value); I will keep his photo to pray him till rest of my life.

If somebody who believes only in looks & second hand bikes, please contact me ([protected]). I have purchased this tension (TVS Apache RTR 160 FI) at around Rs. 72,500/- (INR).

If any satisfied TVS Apache RTR 160 FI owner do exists in India; please contact me, It will my pleasure to be friend of that lucky person.

I will suggest all my bad wishers to buy this bike without going through customer complaints/feedback forum.

respected sirmedam
i have serviced my bike recently, it is under free service.
they charge vat on oil prize though it is included in mrp of oil prize.
i also want to ask 'is there any warranty on anti-rusting coating of company, as within 6 month coating on undersurface of silencer removed and rusting occur'.

I have purchased TVS Appache RTR 180 dated 21.07.2010 from Meghdooth Mobikes # 130. Wheeler Road , Cox Town Bangalore- 5 and the vehicle as bean given for first service to the above service center on 19.08.2010 . The service person as bean visualized the vehicle and conformed that there was no damage and scratches on the vehicle and taken for service( with kilometer of 172 insted of 500 Km).

Paying an amount of Rs.350/- the vehicle was taken back from the service and found to be damaged on the top surface of the gear box and bean noticed by us and taken back to the service center. the person inspected it and conformed that is due to heat the paint may be pealed off it is not our fault and refused to rectify the problem and he instructed us to go to the TVS Factory. There is no response solution from the service dealer.

WHILE GOING FOR SERVICINGS,THE SUPERVISOR OF SP AUTOMOBLIE HAS MIS-BAHAVED AND DENIED TO DO THE PAID SERVICING. I AM A DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, MARKETING O[censored]NITED INDIA INSURANCE CO.LTD. FOR LAS 32 YEARS AND FELT EMBARASHING FOR SUCH MIS-BEHAVIOUR.
I WAS PLANNING TO BUY ONE MORE APACHE 180 FOR MY SON, BUT NOW I AM LESS INTERESTED AND THINKING OF ANY OTHER PRODUCT OF EITHER HERO HONDA OR BAJAJ.

Hi, My name in Harika i purchased a scooty pep for second hand it is 2008, And it stoped in middle of the road when i called TVS service center them came to the place i was and they did not help me in anything and did not start the vechicle but they had charged Rs 200 for services. I took it showroom and made all the changes needed which cost me 3200. I was given a new battery of Vroom and it was in the month of Feb 2010 I had this services. In one month the vechicle had problem with Self start and then i took it the service station and they checked everything and it was working after they had charged, In next month when i was traveling the Belt of the vechicle got damaged, i went to service center in Masab tank and got the New belt from then but dont if they gave me smaller belt it cannot go more on than 30 kms as it starts the sound of the belt as some one is trying to hang her. And today again it stopped working I am so pizzed of that i thought i would not ever take any more vechicle from TVS. i want someone to help me that i can sue the company for all this inconvience, My contact no is [protected],

Run shine motors hanumanthanagar is the worst service center in bangalore. They dont know how to service bike.they can not fix even a miner problem of apache .they dont know how to reset the service indicator. Best example is to fix vibration problem they give paper packing ! If we ask they tell TVS Company only say that ! Basic thing like tightning screws also they dont do. IF YOU LOVE YOUR BIKE PLEASE DONT GIVE YOUR BIKE TO THIS SERVICE CENTER. They only charge like authorised retice center.

I purchased my scooty streak red on 15th feb 2010 from dealer ZEN Motors,Bangalore,for the 1st month it was doing good but once the mansoon started trouble also started with scooty.If it gets drenched in rain not able to start the scooty it runs for 100-200 meters and stops and after that whatever method u try self start or kick start scooty won't move a inch.Went to service centre ZEN Motors,Bangalore they kept the vehicle for couple of days and gave back saying that problem got fixed but now I am not able to start the vehicle even if it does not get drenched in the rain.

DEAR SIR,

I mr Sagar Mahabal had booked Scooty pep+ Red Colouer, on 3rd July,2010. The vehicle was to be delivered within a week. Whenever we followed up with the dealer - Zen Motors (127/10, Bull temple road, Kempegowda nagar, Bangalore, ph[protected] , excuses were like batteries not available, sometimes vehicle not supplied by the co., now they are saying that Red colour is not available, So we changed it to Purple Colour which was to be delivered on 28th July, but still no communication from the dealer side.

Now whether we shouln't trust on Company or Dealer, don't know.
