UTH should inspect genuine-packaging markings and label before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the current MRP ₹2,221?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e₹2,221 was found in a historical May 2022 TVS price-list copy. The current printed MRP must be checked on the actual stock; do not rely on the old price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the engine timing chain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is the external drive chain and sprockets transmitting power to the rear wheel, not the internal cam\/timing chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo the UTH keychain or photo props come with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the specified retail chain-and-sprocket kit and its physically included components are part of the sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore placing your order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease check the bike against N9326260 and the labelled 13T\/44T\/138L kit configuration; confirm the 86 mm rear PCD. The fastest way to avoid a wrong part is to verify the bike’s chassis-specific parts catalogue or match the old chain and both sprockets. This is a specific drivetrain replacement part, not a universal Apache chain kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"TVS Motor Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52545651835175,"sku":"N9326260","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/7447\/0183\/files\/library-9BC44096-0D36-4F98-AAC7-AC9FFFF43ADB-L0-001.jpg?v=1793997241","url":"https:\/\/underthehood.co.in\/products\/tvs-apache-rtr-160-4v-chain-sprocket-kit-n9326260-13t-44t-138l","provider":"UNDER THE HOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
