Starting from where i left.
The very next day i lubed it well and rode for 60 kms but the noise remained. So 2 days after servicing i got back to the service center where I did my fourth service (the good guys of S.S. TVS, shivmandir, 734014, Darjeeling, West Bengal). They took the bike and cleaned the chain intensely, washed the bike and lubed it freshly this time making the chain shiny as new. The chain noise they said will remain because open chain is deemed to make noises like every other 200 cc bikes. The chain noise did calm a little and i also stuck to their instructions of lubing the chain whenever it made creepy sounds and it works every time. However the sound remained till this date and I am looking forward to my 5th and last free servicing. I did adjust my wheel alignment few days back and also changed my worn out clutch switch from service center. Those guys fixed the clutch switch once but it had to be changed so i did it. The clutch switch cost me 360 rupees.
Each free servicing costs around 700-850 rupees. That ridiculous 3rd servicing with engine flush cost me 1150 rupees.
Riding experience and performance: it is a beast. You know the torque and max power numbers. However my model has a little less power than the carbureted one that was there before for bs6 conversion the 2021 model is nearly same to the 2019 carb variant. The exhaust is what excited me most when i rode it for the first time. That grunt releases adrenaline in me. I have done 0-60 km/h in 3.8 seconds and 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds, 120 km/h in around 16 seconds, the remaining depends on the riding conditions. I got the highest speed after my 3rd servicing that is 151 km/h. City ride is better with the gtt technology and you don't need to use throttle in traffic, it attains considerable speed without clutch. I recommend using the 1st gear only when pillion is present otherwise 2nd gear is better for single person. Throttle response is amazing in all types of roads. There is a hunger for power. The moment you hit the throttle it tries to deliver instantly. I have taken my beast to hilly roads of mirik, rohini, kurseong, the pull is good. But don't hope to get the hill ride done in above 3 gears. The roads have potholes and at places the road is too straight upwards. If you put it above 3 gears that in the hills it will try to work hard, but will struggle and hurt the engine. Maximum power delivery is in the 1st gear and 2nd gear only. One who hears the exhaust can understand when the bike is struggling and when it is enjoying the roads. I personally love the exhaust because the sound changes. When you start the bike and ride it at 4000 rpm it gives a sweet sound bit whenever you pull the throttle above that the sound instantly feels like a beast growling. Moreover when you ride for few minutes at high rpm say 700 rpm and then return to 4000 rpm or stop the exhaust sound gets a different tone. It feels ktmish to be exact. I've already mentioned the power figures i have experienced. I feel most confident while leaning. The tires may be small compared to some of tvs 200 4v rivals but the lean angle can get really high in corners. The bike enters a sharp corner quite confidently and exits it proudly. But i advice not to lean too much. Of course the bike leans to a great degree but that is already more than what you can ask from such tires. Anything more than that you may loose friction in rear tire causing an accident that may get more deadly in the hills. So i would recommend not leaning too much, it is a naked bike with no fairing or frame like Yamaha r15 v3 or Ktm bikes. But overall lean angle is in great competition to its rivals. It has a 197cc engine displacement and performs really well from what i can tell you from my experience.
The abs are life savers, they did save me several times. I do know how to lock and release the brakes in other non abs bikes but as you know abs is better, it works in fractions of seconds, so you don't need to worry about losing traction. If you tires are good, disc plate and brake pads are in good condition you will definitely stay up straight. However too much trust on abs can sometimes lead to accident. Remember it will save your bike from traction loss not from a crash. The job of abs is to prevent the wheels from losing traction and it will do so, even if it needs it's sweet time. For example, in rain and dirt the abs gets triggered easily and takes more time to stop than in a perfectly good road because it releases the brakes and again locks it every time the wheel loses traction until the bike stops. That means if a vehicle in front of you suddenly hit brakes, the moment you hit brakes the abs will try to stop the bike, but pressing the brakes harder won't do anything, the brakes will lock and release automatically and in this process may lead to a collision, and if you are luck not to deadly one.
So the stopping depends on how actively you use your brakes not how hard you hit it. In the rains the bike roads nicely and the abs also works perfectly, but the stopping distance increases. This means you should not ride in speed during the rain to avoid crash. The abs will decide how it will stop the bike but the rider needs to decide how to stop the bike fast, so be careful and do not test your limits in this respect. Also you need to understand the abs is an electric function, which means it can malfunction and stop working in unfortunate circumstances so keep an eye on the abs indicator in the console. I personally practice pumping brakes despite having abs. It prepares me to ride bikes without abs. It is basically being the abs oneself. Talking about the tires i must say i am pretty satisfied with both the tires. However, i like the front tire more because it has better grip all over it and plays the most crucial role in braking. The rear tire on the other hand is good, but i personally think tvs should have given the Pirelli option that they used to provide before 2020. The rear tire feel a little too bald to me. The grip on the corners is good but on the middle i feel tvs could have provided some extra layer of grips and cuts for better road grip. Using the brake in a straight position when the bike is upright result to a slow braking to me than in an inclined state or curves. However that's from my pov.
The slipper clutch is excellent, you can downshift multiple gears without holding the clutch and not skidding the wheel. It feels super smooth if you release the throttle a little gradually, like when downshifting in regular bikes. However do not use it if not needed. I personally don't use it very often, only occasionally. I usually follow the traditional clutch using style. Suspension is showa in the back and kyb in the front. No complaints from them. However i feel riding with a pillion is more comfortable. The suspension easily absorbs bumps on the roads and the front suspension can take really bad potholes during critical situations. The front suspension even has stoppers so that the shockers don't go too deep bursting the oil seal and remains as a front suspension security. However, i suggest you ride carefully and safely. Try to avoid potholes because they may bend and disorient the suspension and cause oil seal leak that can in turn be bad if spilt on the brakes. The clip-on handles are too good and provide excellent handling, you can adjust its free movement if you want from a mechanic. The handling feels like gliding on bad roads. Of course rider skills matters but the motorcycle has excellent handling and feels very comfortable and light in turns, twists, curves and braking. One of the best handling motorcycle of its segment. There is a dual speaker horn that gets very load, sometimes annoyingly and embarrassingly loud in narrow roads.
I speak too much, I will post one last time.

First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different.
I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.
This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)
Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes,
Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.
Its LED light got dim.
Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat kat
Whenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.
Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.
Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.
I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is pathetic
Choose your vehicle wisely.

Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

The Blue Beast
5 weeks ago
Samipendu Das
Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
Comfort: 4/5
Servicing and Maintenance:
There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
Reliability: 4/5.
Pros:
Engine
Low Maintenance
Reliability
Service
Cons: Seat
I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.
6 weeks ago
Bhola Naskar
Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

Amazing performance
16 weeks ago
Ashok Kumar Lenka
First I want to share my buying experience. I booked the matte red color but after waiting for almost 2 months dealer was unable to arrange the specific color and I ended up buying the red black. When it came to owning the bike and experiencing almost 20k kilometers I am super happy with its performance and reliability, especially the mileage. Being a 200cc bike it's giving nearly 45kmpl in heavy Bangalore traffic. You can drive as low as 38 kmph in 5th gear. Due to the lightweight and slipper clutch, it's very easy to ride in heavy traffic conditions. The only only thing that missing is the 6th gear. On the highway, a 6th gear would've pushed the top end a little more. The top speed I achieved is 136kmph cause I weigh a little heavily. An all-led setup would have been great but it's not a much of concern. Service cost is very less compared to other 200cc bikes. It will cost you less than 2.5k which makes it more worthy. Hope you find this helpful.

Due to open chain system you have to wash and lube the chain in a gap of 300km. It will increase the ride quality and lifespan of the chain. Timely service need to be done and if you are staying in a heavy traffic metro city always do the service before the given time. Because in heavy traffic engine oil burn little quicker.

There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
Reliability: 4/5.
Pros:
Engine
Low Maintenance
Reliability
Service
Cons: Seat
I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.
6 weeks ago
Bhola Naskar
Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

Amazing performance
16 weeks ago
Ashok Kumar Lenka
First I want to share my buying experience. I booked the matte red color but after waiting for almost 2 months dealer was unable to arrange the specific color and I ended up buying the red black. When it came to owning the bike and experiencing almost 20k kilometers I am super happy with its performance and reliability, especially the mileage. Being a 200cc bike it's giving nearly 45kmpl in heavy Bangalore traffic. You can drive as low as 38 kmph in 5th gear. Due to the lightweight and slipper clutch, it's very easy to ride in heavy traffic conditions. The only only thing that missing is the 6th gear. On the highway, a 6th gear would've pushed the top end a little more. The top speed I achieved is 136kmph cause I weigh a little heavily. An all-led setup would have been great but it's not a much of concern. Service cost is very less compared to other 200cc bikes. It will cost you less than 2.5k which makes it more worthy. Hope you find this helpful.

Due to open chain system you have to wash and lube the chain in a gap of 300km. It will increase the ride quality and lifespan of the chain. Timely service need to be done and if you are staying in a heavy traffic metro city always do the service before the given time. Because in heavy traffic engine oil burn little quicker.

First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different.
I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.
This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)
Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes,
Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.
Its LED light got dim.
Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat kat
Whenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.
Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.
Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.
I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is pathetic
Choose your vehicle wisely.

Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

The Blue Beast
5 weeks ago
Samipendu Das
Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
Comfort: 4/5
Servicing and Maintenance:
There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
Reliability: 4/5.
Pros:
Engine
Low Maintenance
Reliability

Cons: Seat
I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
Comfort: 4/5
Servicing and Maintenance:
There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
Reliability: 4/5.
Pros:
Engine
Low Maintenance
Reliability
Service
Cons: Seat
I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.
6 weeks ago
Bhola Naskar
Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

Amazing performance
16 weeks ago
Ashok Kumar Lenka
First I want to share my buying experience. I booked the matte red color but after waiting for almost 2 months dealer was unable to arrange the specific color and I ended up buying the red black. When it came to owning the bike and experiencing almost 20k kilometers I am super happy with its performance and reliability, especially the mileage. Being a 200cc bike it's giving nearly 45kmpl in heavy Bangalore traffic. You can drive as low as 38 kmph in 5th gear. Due to the lightweight and slipper clutch, it's very easy to ride in heavy traffic conditions. The only only thing that missing is the 6th gear. On the highway, a 6th gear would've pushed the top end a little more. The top speed I achieved is 136kmph cause I weigh a little heavily. An all-led setup would have been great but it's not a much of concern. Service cost is very less compared to other 200cc bikes. It will cost you less than 2.5k which makes it more worthy. Hope you find this helpful.

Tips for other riders
Due to open chain system you have to wash and lube the chain in a gap of 300km. It will increase the ride quality and lifespan of the chain. Timely service need to be done and if you are staying in a heavy traffic metro city always do the service before the given time. Because in heavy traffic engine oil burn little quicker.
