Proper running-in operation during this period helps in ensuring a maximum life and smooth performance of your motorcycle. The reliability and performance of your motorcycle depends on the special care and restrain exercised during the running-in period. It is especially important that you avoid operating the engine in high speed (RPM), which could ‘expose the engine parts to excessive stress. Recommended speed during the running:in is Maximum 50 km/h speed upto 750 km (vary the engine speed for better mating of parts) ‘The first free service at 500 ~ 750 km is most important.

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, So what the ABS does is actually limiting the braking force exerted by the rider by either squeezing the lever and keep_ How does the ABS understands the wheel locking? ‘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. 2 IL LLLHow the irregular road surface affects the braking? Humps and irregular surfaces of the road can cause the wheels to lose contact temporarily with the road surface; if this happens the braking force that can be transmitted to road surface is zero, If the brakes are applied under these condition, the ‘ABS has to reduce the braking force to ensure and maintain the directional stability when the wheels regains its contact with the road surface. At this instant the ABS must reduce the traction, so that the wheels will continue to rotate under all imaginable circumstances, because this is the precondition for ‘ensuring directional stability. TVS ~& ‘As soon as the actual circumstances arises, the system reacts instantly and adjusts braking force accordingly to achieve optimum braking Why does brake lever pulsate during brake application? Vehicles fitted with ABS uses the conventional brake systom during normal operation, But during hard stop the brake lever feels different, i.e., a rapid pulsation in the brake lever; This is absolutely normal, AX Warning The ABS con apply and release the pressure in the brake circuit much faster than that ir an do with brake fever to avoid wheel locking, So there is no need to pump the brake, it requires only continuous application. Only the front brake of your motorcycle is fitted with ABS system and not the rear brake. Applying rear brake alone can cause wheel skidding just like normal braking system. Always apply both front and rear brake for better performance. DMEM TEIt is not necessary to have this pulsation feel every ‘time the brake is applied. Pulsations are folt only during wheel locking tendency, occurs due to the modulation of pressure in the brake circuit by HECU. Pulsation means that the vehicle is in limit. This pulsation feel also depends on the road condition. ABS warning lamp The TVS Apache RTR 180 does an automatic self check every time when the ignition switch is tumed ‘ON’. The ABS warning lamp provided at the speedometer console blinks and informs you that the 'ABS is under check TVS ~& This ABS warning lamp goes ‘OFF’ once the bike reaches 7 km/h speed and above and the ABS ‘warning lamp blinks whenever the bike speed is less ‘than 7 kmyh speed indicating that the ABS is working fine If the waming lamp glows continuously even after the bike crossing 7 km/h speed or if the ABS lamp is not blinking or glowing at all, then the ABS has an error and your bike should be taken to any of our nearest TVS Motor Company Authorised Main dealer / Authorised Dealer.

If this is the first time that you are riding a vehicle of this type, we suggest that you practice on a safe, open area to thoroughly familiarise with the operation of the vehicle. TVS ~& Comering When comering, centrifugal force works ina direction perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle is moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion with speed and the radius of the corner. During comering, reduce speed so as to reduce the effects of centrifugal force. Avoid abrupt application of brake or sudden steering by all means. Braking For safe riding, it is very important to master the braking techniques, 1. Close /release the throttle Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake, Progressive application of brakes is safer. Never declutch while braking at higher speeds. Apply both the brakes. Do not pump the brakes, Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads close throttle and down shift the gear to take advantage of gearbox and engine which acts as an additional brake, This will avoid the loss of control over the vehicle due to over speed. IL LLLCauses for poor braking 1. If the brake pads or disc are worn out or if there: is water or oll on them, sufficient friction does not develop and brakes do not work well 2. Even when the brake works normally, if the road surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out, tyres do not take a firm hold on the surface, increasing the stopping distance LX Warning As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance a rogressively. Be su t you sufficient distance between you and the vehicle or obstruction ahead of you. Avoid dire directly towards brakedise pads during water wash. or jet Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both the brakes together and with great care on a wet road or other slippery surfaces. Any abrupt braking on sii cause loss of rider control pery oF irregular roads TVS ~& 3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from front brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor braking.
