Q. How bad is cold start problem in your bike? My gives a lot of trouble starting - Apache 200 4V Race?

Yes it requires choke in cold start I have an expensive solution change your oil with shell advance full synthetic 10w40 which costs around 800 rupees a litre but you will have to buy 2 litre because RTR requires 1200 ml of oil.this will solve your starting problem to an extent and the ride quality will improve by 40 % gear shift will become real easy and smooth and pick up would improve and you can rev the RTR as much as you want and the drain period is around 6000 km twice the normal oil which needs to be changed at 3000 km try this and let me know!!!!!

I dont have any issue till date.I just put it in the main stand, switch off the oil flow at night. In the morning i switch on the oil flow and then start it with pressing the self start button. The first one doest work, but the second press always works.Please note: While fired up please keep it on for 2mins until it reaches initial rpm of (1.2) which is standard. If your initial rpm is below that point you will have to use choke while starting in the morning.

I don't feel any major issues regarding cold start...but sometimes i face some problem at mrng i have to apply choke every day in mrng...this is common in all apache 200..no need to worry
