SUPER QUICK CARB TUNING FOR BEST MILEAGE & PICK UP | TVS APACHE RTR CARBURETOR CLEANING & ADJUSTMENT

In this video I am going to share my present carburator tuning which is working very efficiently for me in terms of fuel economy and performance on my TVS Apache RTR 200. We will also clean the carburetor exteriors with the cleaner. This carb adjustment process should take around a minute if you directly follow the instructions.
A well tuned carburetor will give you good performance, improved mileage, increased engine life and will solve cold start problem.
NIKAVI CARB AND PARTS CLEANER: amzn.to/2IVTolI
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
1. Remember you present carb setting.
2. Engine should be properly warmed up before you start working on the carb.
3. The Nikavi carb cleaner should be used on a cold surface (flammable contents).
4. Be gentle with the pilot/fuel screw don't press too hard.
5. If you are making changes by turning the fuel/Pilot screw from the mentioned point (the screw position I have shared) then don't turn the screw for more than 1/4 turn at a time (actually it should be less than 1/4 turn every time).
6. Loosely explaining: Clockwise rotation of fuel/pilot screw is for the leaner side & Anti Clockwise rotation of fuel/pilot screw is for richer side.
CARBURETOR DETAILS:
KEIHIN CV TYPE CARB (30VE)
MAIN JET SIZE: 112
IDLE RPM: 1400 (+/- 200)

@The sportztourer - bhai what should be the air fuel screw turn for pulsar 150 classic. And also what is the factory setting ? Can you please help me with it

[@sagnikbiswas8922]

I have a 2 year old rtr 160 and i have having mileage(30 kmpl) issues all of a sudden. Fuel nut is set at little less than 3 turns and idling at 1100 to 1250. No oil leakage anywhere around Carburettor and there is no thick smoke coming out. What might be the issue?

[@denilpatel9800]

Bhai Hindi main video daal kyu ki not all people understand what you want say.. Thanks and regards

[@rahulgovin9393]

[@bigyasitaula8873]

Hello Sportstourer..I had adjusted my carb few months back as you said and it was quite an easy process. The bike is running perfectly well but after about 6 months of usage on the same tuning, I want to readjust by turning a quarter turn more than previous setting.I am not being able to do so because it is stuck on the same place..I am not being able to turn it on either direction..What might be the reason and how can I resolve this? Would appreciate your help!

[@mad3367]

Very informative and neatly done 👌👌👌👏👏 you're like the good teacher for bike enthusiasts 👍🏻

[@ajumalkhan4418]

Man u r doing great. Like this make simple lectures and continue. all the very best💗

[@masteRocker67]

To make sure if you tune it right is to run your motorcycle 15-30 minutes after tuning then let the engine cool down then remove your sparkplug then check the tip IT SHOULD BE RUSTY BROWN if its black you are in Rich setting if there's no color your in lean.

[@sooraj4998]

[@gnarjun]

Great video bro.... Plz suggest whethr I should go for RTR200 ABS or FZ25? Both appealed to me... confused between both, I'm 6ft tall. I need comfort n touring ability. RTR200 gives ABS n Slipper clutch, Yamaha has a more refined engine, correct if wrong...

[@nzrestoration9486]

Nice clear explanation, hope you and your family are keeping safe and well in these difficult times.

[@fazilcreator9990]

Fine tuning results to a smooth ride,nice video

[@boscomendes9593]

Hi I'm using ns200 and from past 1 month I'm noticing a lag while riding. When I'm around 3000 to 4000 rpm I notice this lag. Before this issue started I had cleaned my Carburetor. Then after doing some research I found that if there a gap between the intake and the carburetor hose that might have create leak and the air fuel ratio might be disrupted. But i made sure that the carburetor was fitted properly. Once I did that it seemed like the issue was fix for a week but again I'm facing the same issue. Please can you help me with this?

[@ghostxd1277]

Bro I have Honda CBF stunner air-cooled engine so how many times I have to rotate it ?

What should be the ideal idle RPM for the 200? I have bought a new 2.0 and the factory set idle RPM is around 1800-2000 range. I also feel power lag when riding at lower gears and slow speeds. Thank you.

[@thesportztourer]

Hi Shivang, Try to maintain the idle around 1500 RPM. What's your present tune? You can also get it adjusted and tuned from the authorized service 😊

[@tharalalnun4364]

I own a Honda Hornet 160r I want to ask why does the engine idle speed fluctuate when the engine is hot. If it is set to 1.1 then if I ride in traffic it increases to 1.2 to 1.3. And when the engine is cold it comes back to 1.1. Can you help?

[@shikariop595]

Can i tune my hyosung gt650r?? is carburetted and don't know how to increase power

[@thisisShantanu]

I just came across this video after 5 years of you uploading it and I regret not coming across it earlier. I was looking to get some info on how I could increase the performance of my almost 14 years old bone stock Karisma R which has been very tastefully maintained. I found your video so simple yet so informative! But still I had a question in my mind which I think you'd be able to answer well and I'll be glad if you do. So now after all these years of keeping my motorcycle in stock condition I want to do some upgrades to it. I was thinking about getting a performance cone air filter for better air flow and a performance carburettor to maintain the fuel to air intake ratio. But I do not want to get a full free flow exhaust setup. Do you think it is advisable to use a free flow air filter and a carburettor with the company exhaust ? will it affect my engine in a bad way ?

[@sushilgharat2264]

Hi.. Actually my P220 got some issue with carburettor as I mistakenly open air fuel mixture instead of petrol drain screw.. Now I want to tune it. After watching the video I'm little bit confused, cause you said engine need to be hot and the best time for tunning is morning... 🤔🤔

[@sauravG]

Now this is the most simple way to illustrate the tuning of carburettor😎a good one...All the best

[@thesportztourer]

Glad to know you found it simple 😊 Ride safe 👍

[@emperorofdarkness3096]

Woooh. Astounding!!

[@sk-ek8qn]

I have Apache 160 4v bs4 .... Is it same for 160 4v too??

[@chetansvlog4982]

Please make video on changing to free flow air filter.. Is there any need of changing port

Bro how was engine quality of apache rtr 200 ! I heard TVS engine and spares are very worst than other competitors! Is it true?

Glad to know you found the video informative and helpful 😊 Thanks 👍

[@MrDas28]

@The sportztourer - I have done carborator setting for my pulsar 150. For few days it went well. But after some days again it has started giving mileage problem. Got carborator setting done again but after some days again mileage problem will starts. What could be the issue here. Pls help

[@dnyaneshjalamkar4257]

Check the spring of air screw, insufficient screw tension will cause the screw to loose its position due to vibration. You can replace the screw set completely since only spring is difficult to find.

[@RAGHAVA]

Brillient job!👍

[@digvijaypise.3472]

What is the average you getting and how to calculate?

[@altamasthakor7360]

A good one buddy ! But in other videos they were doing it with engine on and highly depending on the engine sound . DK tell me can I do it with engine on ? Which one is better ?

[@thesportztourer]

As I said in this video tuning a carburetor is an art which you can acquired by practicing. Over time you can tell a badly tuned engine just by it's strokes (running sound). You will find a lot of detailed video on KZbin where people have explained carburetor tuning but a new rider will take time to fine tune this skill. So I thought of making this video where I can at least give a ball point zone where further fine tuning can be done by riding and understanding the engine performance 😊 Thanks for the appreciation.

[@manavjain2858]

Please do it for ntorq I'm really facing an issue in my Ntorq please tell me how to get max performance and mileage together tune please?

[@WheelsofSteal]

This video was great but no one talks about when to adjust the idle screw or how during the mixing screw adjustment. Does to bike have to idle high or low before adjusting the mix screws?

[@thesportztourer]

Hi Brandon, As said in the video this was just a direct/short cut adjustment video where I shared my present state of tune. I have made a detailed video sharing all the information about the carb parts here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnPPcml7fL2Na5o

[@girindradas5013]

Bro I am facing a problem in my Apache 180 that, 1st my rpm is fluctuating and at cold start the rpm has to increase by 2 turns and after the engine warms up it again shows high rpm and it is rising automatically.. I have installed a new carburetor recently but it shows the same problem.. and at higher speed if I realise the throttle and pull the clutch completely then engine automatically off .. what to do bro please help🙏

[@Shayanmasudvlogs]

Dear Brother, i have purchased gixxer 15 days ago. Suddenly after riding 480km my bike in low RPM like 1200-1500 in first gear there is a hiccup in throttle. It feels like engine is not getting fuel. The problem was serious in high rpm also. After taking it to showroom they just broke my heart by taking out my new bike carburetor. They said the fuel was problematic so they dumped all fuel and They cleaned it at re setup that. After that hiccup problem is gone almost but still it exist in low rpm gear shifting time.. Can you olz say somethinh in rply abt this issue

[@studyzone4606]

Awesome video just keep making... And do apache 200 4v 2.0 review with abs ur video's are the best better than many others

[@thesportztourer]

I do want to ride it but I don't have access to one! Being a small channel we don't get any review motorcycles. I will definitely make a video if I get to ride one 👍

[@xRJ]

I'm gonna buy 2.0 ABS today, and your videos will really help me. ABS is a boon to have, dual channel at that!

[@fubarfubar579]

Thanks for this video. I adjusted my AF mixture based on information you provided in this video. But i can extract maximum 26kmpl in city. My beast is about 2.5 yrs old and recently i've replaced cylinder block kit along with new valve set. What may be the issue for low milege?

Bro does the RTR 200 have any engine issues or chain issues after some period of useage? Many are saying this

[@thesportztourer]

Hi Abhishek, I never faced any problem with the engine, Infact I got the 200 because my RTR 180 served me very well for 6+ years with no problem in the engine. Have made a dedicated video on chain noise here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baW6o6yihaype5I

[@dheerajneelam6532]

Bro..I have adjusted my carb same S yours in my 1604v ...is it fine or should I change, but power very good now

[@thesportztourer]

Hi Dheeraj, I think it should work for you as I had a similar set up on my RTR 180. If you feel the need to fine tune it later then you can go ~1/4 turn up or down accordingly.

[@phanibapanapally4049]

Bro will this work on vespa sxl 150?

[@dhananjayjadhav129]

You Made It Really Simple To Understand. 🙏🙏👍

[@monishrossi46]

Heyy bro I just saw your video and tuned my unicorn bike Because it's mileage was about 35-38kmph But now I don't how much it'll give. I'm feeling bit laggy it misses at 4-5k rpm when I give full throttle What can I do? And even in my bike is leaving patakas when I raise everytime and when in riding too what is reason? Please answer for this!!

Hi, its about my fz16 2009 model, if I put it in side stand and leave it for 3-10mins bike doesn't start, but starts rich after long try..but starts normal after 15 mins or above...pls give me a solution, overhauled the carb and it's a new carburetor, just 3 month old. All settings I have tried but it's not working, tried in authorized service center too, torcente motors Bangalore..

[@febyshibu1881]

Will this reduce the mileage bro

[@drbvrao2207]

Very nice and informative bro.. Thank you

[@AnkurRajpali]

Thanks fot the video dada! 👍👍 My question here being, how do you "feel" if after 3 turns on a warm engine you need afr to be rich or lean?

[@thesportztourer]

There are different methods to check: 1. You can ride to feel the change. 2. Observe the RPM as I did in this video. 3. The textbook method of tuning as per the exhaust emission.

[@AnkurRajpali]

Got it dada! Also the 3 turn works for all carbs?

[@harshal2709]

Brilliant! Can you suggest me something to keep the rubber off the side view mirrors joints from falling? They're very loose and look very ugly when they come off, disturbing the look of the bike

[@thesportztourer]

Thanks Mangekyo 😊 Set the stem of the mirrors parallel to the handle bar so that you don't have to stretch the upside mirrors to adjust the view. Check out my mirror position in this 2000+km ride series where the rubber boots on the mirrors never gave up: kzbin.info/aero/PLDzB4F3L5AFrSu-Q_kWTkxVU1yZqjM608

What is difference between BS vs CV carburettor turning

[@arrogantking]

I have Apache 2004v race edition. The bike seems to have some vibrations and lack in throttle. I feel it has lost it's smoothness and smooth gear shift after the first service from the TVS. could you please tell exactly what could be done?

[@thesportztourer]

Hi Aditya, Get the carb tuned and also check out the chain for right slack.

[@puneetak47]

My RTR 200 was sitting in a place for 5-6 months, I did it's servicing but it was not giving the mileage as it used to give before... So today I thought of tuning the carburetor... My default Carburetor air fuel mixture screw setting was 2 complete revolutions open.... Now I have Opened it with 2.8 revolutions.... Hope it gives some positive results.
