TVS Apache RTR 160/180 2V Self Starter Motor Assembly – M1060060

TVS electric self-starter motor assembly, part number M1060060, for compatible TVS Apache RTR 160 2V and RTR 180 2V motorcycles. The TVS parts catalogue describes it as STARTER MOTOR ASSY. or MOTOR ASSY STARTER ES. It is a complete starter motor unit intended for the matching original electric-start system.

Before ordering: This is the starter motor assembly — not the starter idle gear M1080460, the starter relay, the starter clutch or the complete engine-side starting system. Verify the full OEM reference for your exact motorcycle generation and electrical/mounting configuration.

The starter motor is an electrically driven component that turns the engine through the starting mechanism when the starter circuit is operated. It can be replaced when testing confirms motor failure, but a no-crank fault does not by itself prove that the starter motor is defective.

TVS M1060060 – technical and package specifications

Compatible TVS Apache models – fitment by generation

The TVS Apache RTR 160/180 engine-crankcase parts catalogues show M1060060 as one starter motor in the documented electric-start configurations. The list below is intentionally narrower than vague seller claims of every RTR model. Match the full original part number and motor geometry for your exact model/year.

Important: Apache RTR 160 2V and Apache RTR 160 4V are different engine families. The part number must not be assigned to the 4V solely because a third-party universal listing mentions an Apache 160.

What the starter motor does

When the rider operates the electric starter, the relevant battery, control and relay circuit supplies power to the starter motor. The motor develops rotation, which passes through the motorcycle’s starter-drive gear train and one-way starter clutch arrangement to crank the engine. After starting, the mechanism disengages in the intended manner.

The starter motor is only one part of this system. A faulty battery, high-resistance cable, relay, switch, earth connection, damaged starter-idler gear, defective one-way clutch or engine mechanical problem can produce similar starting complaints.

M1060060 versus related Apache starting-system parts

The starter motor may have its normal internal working components, including brushes; however, the individually numbered N9322340 brush-repair kit is not being sold as an extra loose item with this listing. The separately referenced installation O-ring and bolts are not guaranteed in the retail motor package without physical pack verification.

When should the starter motor be replaced?

Replace the starter motor when a qualified technician has confirmed that the motor itself is faulty and a repair is not appropriate. A starter that does not operate, turns slowly, makes abnormal noises or repeatedly draws excessive current may need electrical and mechanical testing. The symptom alone does not isolate the failure.

Why order using the exact M1060060 part number?

• Clear manufacturer reference: M1060060 is documented in original TVS Apache engine catalogues.
• Correct component scope: one complete electric starter motor assembly rather than an idler gear or relay.
• Application-specific sourcing: supports matching original 2V engine configurations instead of a generic universal fitment claim.
• Repair accuracy: helps the workshop confirm the original motor before ordering.
• Related service parts identified separately: O-ring and brush repair kit can be assessed during service.
• Customer transparency: no invented motor power, tooth count, shaft specification, weight, warranty or stock MRP.

Exactly what you receive

1 × TVS Starter Motor Assembly – M1060060 for the compatible electric-start application.

No separate starter relay, battery, cables, wiring harness, idler gear, one-way starter clutch, starter clutch gear, separate brush service kit, engine gasket or fitting labour is included. A loose O-ring, bracket, screw or other separately catalogued accessory is not promised without examining the actual supplied box and contents.

Installation preparation and workshop safety

The starter motor interfaces with the motorcycle electrical and mechanical starting system. Installation and testing should be performed by a qualified motorcycle technician following the correct TVS workshop service manual. Incorrect electrical connection or a misfitted starter can cause wiring damage, overheating, mechanical damage or unpredictable starting behaviour.

1. Identify the motorcycle VIN/engine version and verify M1060060 in the correct TVS parts catalogue.
2. Test battery health, relay operation, power and ground connections before replacing the motor.
3. Disconnect the battery as directed by the service manual; prevent accidental starter engagement.
4. Remove the failed component and compare mounting flange, drive end, shaft profile and electrical terminal of the replacement.
5. Inspect the starter mounting bore, sealing O-ring and adjacent starter gear train; obtain any replacement parts separately.
6. Use the manufacturer-specified mounting sequence, tightening torques and wiring installation procedure.
7. After fitting, verify normal engagement, cranking and release, check for leaks and abnormal noise, and inspect charging/electrical condition.

Checks to make before ordering

1. Confirm Apache RTR 160 2V or RTR 180 2V family and full engine generation.
2. Check the original starter motor marking or correct model-specific TVS parts diagram for M1060060.
3. Photograph the original motor including mounting flange, terminals and drive end if in doubt.
4. Determine whether the problem has been traced to the motor instead of the battery, starter relay, one-way clutch or idler gear.
5. Check whether the separately numbered motor O-ring is needed and confirm replacement installation hardware.
6. Verify the retail pack, current MRP, authenticity and physical condition before fitting.
7. Do not electrically connect or install the part until fitment and complete package contents are verified.

Is M1060060 a genuine TVS part number?

Yes, M1060060 is documented in TVS Motor Company parts catalogues and in TVS Indonesia’s official spare-parts storefront. The catalogue number establishes the OEM reference. Authenticity of an individual physical item should be confirmed from the actual TVS packaging, label and product markings; sellers also offer aftermarket motors that reference this same OEM code.

Electrical and electronic parts may be subject to restrictions once installed or connected. Inspect your received item and verify fitment before installation, and follow the applicable Under The Hood return and unboxing-video policy.
