TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Left Fuel Tank Side Cover Glossy Black + Graphics – N92260900DF

TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Left Fuel Tank Side Cover – Glossy Black | N92260900DF

TVS part number N92260900DF is a left-hand (LH) outer fuel tank side cover / tank shroud / tank side panel catalogued in glossy black for a specified Apache RTR 160 4V painted-parts configuration. TVS’s exact description is “COVER FUEL TANK OUTER L + TAPESET BLK.” This is a motorcycle body panel, not the fuel tank itself.

Quick part identification

Will N92260900DF fit your Apache? — model and colour verification

TVS catalogues use different painted-part codes across model generations. A matching colour name or engine designation does not prove that the outer tank cover is interchangeable.

Black tank covers are not automatically interchangeable

Suffix caution: The D, DC, DE, DF, DG and later codes may represent different painted/graphics or production configurations. The sources reviewed do not prove that a later suffix automatically supersedes an earlier one or that these panels can be swapped without checking.

What you receive / what is not included

TVS-catalogued quantity: 1 × left outer fuel tank cover with manufacturer description referring to a black tapeset. The actual stock must be checked for graphics, whether they are pre-applied, and whether any additional loose pieces accompany the panel.

Not promised: right-hand panel, tank-top cover, complete sticker/decal kit, actual fuel tank, internal tank shroud parts, nuts, bolts, clips, brackets, mounting tools, fitting service or matching opposite-side graphics.

How to avoid ordering the wrong tank side cover

1. Verify left or right: this is LH as seen by the seated rider.
2. Verify glossy or matte: the manufacturer lists DF in its glossy-black section.
3. Verify the full SKU including suffix: N92260900DF is not the same written code as DC, DE or DG.
4. Compare decal/tapeset: the graphic pattern matters even when the underlying colour is black.
5. Compare physical shape: check contour, holes, tabs, mounting clips and adjacent trim.
6. Use VIN/chassis catalogue if uncertain: registration year and model name may not identify every bodywork revision.

About this part

The outer tank shroud is a visible painted body panel adjacent to the fuel tank. It can be replaced when the original corresponding cover is damaged, broken or cosmetically worn, provided the vehicle uses the same panel design. It does not replace the fuel tank, fix fuel leaks or restore broken frame/tank supports.

Because this is a colour- and graphics-specific panel, an apparently similar replacement can still look incorrect beside the opposite cover. Confirm the body panel and graphics rather than relying on “Apache 160 4V black” as a complete fitment description.

Installation notes

• Have a competent mechanic inspect the shroud’s mounting tabs, fasteners and surrounding panels before fitting.
• Remove trim in the service-manual sequence; do not lever or force painted plastic tabs.
• Confirm old clips/fasteners are complete and serviceable; replace any separately specified damaged hardware.
• Protect the painted surface from abrasion and avoid strong solvents on graphics.
• Check panel gaps and clearance near the handlebars, fuel tank, seat and adjacent bodywork after fitting.
• Photograph and retain the TVS label and the unopened article before installation to assist fitment verification.

TVS genuine-part verification

N92260900DF appears as an exact TVS catalogue part number, and the manufacturer describes it as a left outer tank cover with tapeset. Authenticity and actual contents should be established by the supplier’s TVS-labelled physical stock and matching part number, not by a generic web image alone. No unsupported material specification, fitment guarantee or premium-performance claim is made.

Frequently asked questions

1. What exactly is N92260900DF?

It is the TVS parts-catalogue number for a black left-hand outer fuel-tank cover with tapeset in the 2020 Apache RTR 160 4V carburettor glossy-black painted-parts section.

2. Is this the actual fuel tank?

No. It is an external cosmetic/trim panel that fits alongside the fuel tank. It is not the fuel-holding metal/plastic tank assembly.

3. Which side is LH?

LH means left-hand side when seated on the motorcycle and facing forward.

4. Does it include both left and right tank shrouds?

No. The catalogue quantity is one left-hand outer cover. The separately numbered right-hand piece is N92261000DF.

5. What is the exact colour?

TVS lists this number in its GLOSSY BLACK bodywork section. Do not confuse it with matte black or other paint/graphics combinations.

6. Does this fit the 2020 Apache RTR 160 4V carburettor model?

Yes, N92260900DF is directly listed for that painted-parts configuration, subject to confirming the particular bike has matching glossy-black trim.

7. Will it fit a 2019 RTR 160 4V?

A retailer lists the exact SKU for 2019–2020 bikes, but manufacturer-catalogue evidence checked here specifically identifies the 2020 carburettor bodywork configuration. Confirm the original panel number and appearance.

8. Is it suitable for Apache RTR 160 4V FI?

Not automatically. Other TVS black painted-parts lists specify N92260900DC; do not treat FI and carburettor trim codes as equivalent without a chassis-specific catalogue match.

9. Does it fit an Apache RTR 200 4V?

No RTR 200 4V fitment is claimed. The RTR 200 4V parts catalogue includes a separate black LH outer cover reference N92260900DE for a documented configuration.

10. Will it fit a BS6 Apache RTR 160 4V?

Not established for all BS6 variants. Later variants can use different panels, mounting arrangements, colours and graphics. Confirm the exact code with the chassis-specific catalogue.

11. What if my bike has a matte-black tank shroud?

Do not buy this glossy-black product as a matching replacement. TVS lists N92260905DE for an identifiable matte-black configuration; verify your exact suffix.

12. Is N92260900DC the same as N92260900DF?

Both are left black outer tank covers in different catalogue contexts. That does not prove identical fittings or graphics; verify the exact original part number before substitution.

13. What is the corresponding right-side part number?

The 2020 glossy-black Apache RTR 160 4V carburettor parts section lists N92261000DF as the right-hand outer fuel-tank cover.

14. Does the code include a tapeset or decals?

The TVS catalogue describes the component as “COVER FUEL TANK OUTER L + TAPESET BLK.” This is a catalogue designation; the exact decal style and whether graphics are factory-applied or separately supplied must be checked on the physical stock.

15. Does it include all graphics or a full motorcycle sticker kit?

No complete bike decal kit is promised. The listing concerns one left outer tank panel only, with the tapeset reference specified by TVS.

16. Are mounting bolts, screws and clips included?

They are not confirmed as contents of the retail package. Reuse serviceable original hardware or order correct fasteners separately according to the TVS parts catalogue.

17. Is this the small front tank cover or the upper tank top cover?

No. This SKU is for the left outer fuel-tank side panel. A tank-top cover is separately numbered and should not be confused with this product.

18. Can I buy this to change my bike from a different colour to black?

Only after confirming the bodywork version and matching pieces/graphics. A colour change can require other correctly specified parts and cannot be guaranteed from this panel alone.

19. How should I confirm fitment?

Compare the old LH panel part number, contour, mounting points, finish, decal pattern and bike chassis/production configuration with the correct TVS parts catalogue.

20. Is the product the same as the right-side shroud?

No. The left and right covers are handed parts with separate numbers and shapes.

21. Is “gross black” in retail listings another colour?

Some retailers write “gross black”; TVS’s parts catalogue uses the term “glossy black” for the documented configuration. Match the actual colour and graphics with stock photos.

22. Do I receive a pair or a set?

Only one left-hand outer fuel tank panel is identified by this SKU. A pair, extra stickers or mounting hardware is not promised.

23. Will this fix a cracked or broken tank panel?

It may replace the corresponding original LH panel if all fitment features match. It will not repair damage to the actual fuel tank, supports or other bodywork.

24. Can I install it myself?

A workshop can assess whether existing clips/mounts are intact and follow the correct service procedure. Avoid forcing mounting tabs or using incompatible fasteners.

25. Is N92260900DF a universal Apache black tank cover?

No. Apache RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V model families have multiple tank shroud generations, finishes and part-number suffixes.

26. Does the 2024 MRP of ₹2,207 confirm the current selling price?

No. ₹2,207 comes from a dated 2 May 2024 price list and does not establish the MRP printed on current physical stock.

27. Can you guarantee the exact graphics from catalogue wording alone?

No. Physical stock photos and the TVS package label should be matched against the customer’s original before purchase or dispatch.
