Quick product identification

Which Apache clutch assembly do I need?

The following table is intentionally configuration-specific. A particular motorcycle name, engine cc, registration date, BS4/BS6 label or ride-mode switch does not establish the installed clutch assembly.

NF070010 vs other TVS clutch centre part numbers

Kit/assembly components — catalogue reference, not a promise about the unopened box

An official TVS distributor catalogue for the RTR 160 4V slipper-clutch assembly associates NF070010 with figure references 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14. The corresponding illustrated components are shown below for correct identification. This is the catalogue bill of materials, NOT a verified contents list for UTH’s physical NF070010 packet.

These counts are taken from the cited 160 4V distributor exploded parts figure and identify the configuration. The TVS RTR 200 4V BS6 catalogue lists NF070010 as an assembly and shows individual associated components separately. Packaging may vary by market and supply batch. Ask UTH to check the actual label, seals and parts inside before you rely on a specific included piece. An outer clutch basket/primary driven gear, clutch cover, engine gasket or bearings should not be assumed to be part of the package.

What you receive

One TVS NF070010 centre assembly, as supplied in the original manufacturer retail packaging. The exact included plates, springs, hardware and subcomponents have not been physically verified for this stock. Confirm the sealed manufacturer packet and included components before dispatch; the exploded-diagram list above is informational and not a guaranteed packing list.

What does the clutch centre do?

The clutch centre forms part of the motorcycle’s multi-plate clutch system, transmitting torque between the friction and driven plates through the matching clutch assembly. In the documented slipper-clutch configuration, the components are engineered to work together to manage clutch engagement under the vehicle’s intended operation. Correct function depends on the complete matched assembly, plates, springs, oil and adjustment.

Signs that clutch inspection may be required

Have a qualified mechanic inspect the clutch if the motorcycle exhibits unexpected slipping, dragging, difficult shifts, engagement judder or abnormal clutch noise. These symptoms are not enough to diagnose a failed centre assembly on their own. Check friction plates, steel plates, springs, cable/lever adjustment, oil and clutch basket before selecting a replacement.

Installation and service precautions

• Use a qualified mechanic and the service manual for the exact engine/clutch version.
• Match the part number, ramp/hub geometry, spring specification and mating components before fitting.
• Inspect clutch plates, springs, basket, release system and transmission-related components for wear or damage.
• Use the manufacturer-specified oil and assembly/lubrication procedure; generic assumptions can cause clutch slip or drag.
• Follow manufacturer torque values and sequence for the exact shaft, retaining nut and spring/pressure-plate fasteners.
• Do not install as a stand-alone slipper-clutch conversion without verified complete system compatibility.
• Before road use, verify smooth lever travel, neutral selection and safe clutch engagement.

Original TVS part reference and stock verification

TVS manufacturer and official distribution references identify NF070010 as CENTER ASSY MANUAL 3. The actual original-part status and sealed kit contents must be established from the TVS product and packaging in UTH stock. No unsupported performance, direct replacement or guaranteed lifespan claim is made.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is TVS NF070010?

NF070010 is the TVS genuine-parts reference described as CENTER ASSY MANUAL 3. It belongs to a specified slipper-clutch centre assembly configuration, not a service manual or a universal clutch replacement.

2. Is this a clutch centre or an entire clutch?

TVS labels the saleable part as a centre assembly; some distributor catalogues also describe it as a slipper-clutch kit. Do not assume that the outer basket, primary driven gear, clutch cover, bearings or every illustrated piece is included. Match the actual sealed packet and bill of materials.

3. Is this a genuine TVS part?

NF070010 is documented in TVS manufacturer and official distributor references. Check that the physical product and package supplied by the seller carry genuine TVS identification.

4. Is the product an instruction manual?

No. Manual is part of the manufacturer description CENTER ASSY MANUAL 3. The product is a clutch component, not a printed repair book.

5. Does NF070010 fit the Apache RTR 200 4V?

It is catalogue-confirmed for the applicable V2.0 slipper-clutch configuration and in an RTR 200 4V FI BS6 catalogue. This is not a blanket guarantee for every production revision.

6. Does it fit my older RTR 200 4V?

Only if the motorcycle has the matching clutch configuration. TVS documentation separately lists an earlier V1.0 clutch with different part numbers and spring arrangement.

7. What is V1.0 versus V2.0 on RTR 200 4V?

In the checked 2018 TVS parts catalogue, V1.0 is an earlier conventional clutch design, while V2.0 lists NF070010 and a different slipper-clutch component group. Verify the specific clutch before purchase.

8. Does NF070010 fit the Apache RTR 160 4V?

An official TVS distributor catalogue shows NF070010 under the RTR 160 4V slipper-clutch diagram. Other 160 4V clutch variants use separate references, so the exact bike and clutch revision must be checked.

9. Does it fit every Apache RTR 160 4V BS6?

No blanket BS6 fitment is confirmed. Engine size, fuel-injection type, year and ride-mode label alone are insufficient for choosing this assembly.

10. Can I replace N6070180 with NF070010?

Do not assume so. N6070180 is a different centre-assembly reference used in other clutch configurations. Confirm any factory-approved supersession or conversion with a TVS parts professional.

11. Can I replace M7070290 with NF070010?

Not without exact TVS catalogue verification. M7070290 is separately numbered and cannot be treated as interchangeable merely because both appear in searches for Apache clutch centres.

12. Is NF070130 the same part?

No interchangeability has been established. NF070130 is another TVS clutch centre assembly reference associated with a different configuration. Match the original part number and clutch system.

13. Is NF070040 the same as NF070010?

No. NF070040 identifies a separately numbered clutch centre/hub component in the associated parts diagram; NF070010 is the centre assembly reference.

14. Is NF070030 included?

NF070030 is a primary driven gear assembly, separately numbered in TVS catalogues. Do not assume it is included in NF070010 unless the physical manufacturer kit explicitly lists it.

15. Does this include friction plates?

The official distributor 160 4V slipper-clutch diagram lists clutch plates in a group associated with its NF070010 kit reference. That describes the documented configuration, not guaranteed contents of the particular packet at UTH. Verify the label and photographs before dispatch.

16. Does the kit include five friction plates?

The referenced slipper-clutch exploded diagram shows 2 N9070310 drive plates and 3 N9070190 drive plates, with 5 NF070050 driven plates. Use this only to understand the catalogue assembly; the exact retail packet must be inspected.

17. Does the kit include the three clutch springs?

The referenced 160 4V distributor kit cross-reference includes three NF070070 springs, but the actual stock packet contents must be verified before being promised.

18. Are the clutch cover or outer basket included?

They are not guaranteed. The clutch cover and primary driven gear/basket are separately identified in the TVS exploded catalogues; confirm actual package contents before purchase.

19. Does this fit RTR 160 2V, RTR 180 or Raider 125?

The exact-code references checked do not substantiate NF070010 fitment to those models. Do not order based on a generic Apache clutch kit description.

20. Can this be installed as a slipper clutch conversion for any Apache?

No conversion claim is made. Converting a conventional clutch may require multiple other matched components and specialist checks; do not fit this assembly as a stand-alone upgrade without manufacturer verification.

21. How can I confirm fitment if my old part is not marked?

Provide the vehicle chassis/VIN and exact model variant to an authorised TVS parts counter to retrieve the appropriate clutch exploded diagram. A photo of the installed clutch can support verification but does not supersede the catalogue.

22. What problem does a worn clutch centre cause?

Depending on the fault, clutch drag, slip, judder, abnormal engagement or noise may arise. These symptoms can also come from plates, oil, springs, cable adjustment and other parts, so have a mechanic diagnose the assembly.

23. Will replacing this centre assembly cure clutch slipping?

Not necessarily. Clutch slip can have different causes, including worn friction plates or incorrect adjustment. Have the complete clutch inspected before purchasing.

24. Are gaskets, clutch oil and tools supplied?

Not promised as part of this product. Check the actual packet for any included pieces; installation consumables and service items are normally identified separately.

25. Can I install NF070010 myself?

Clutch work requires correct mechanical inspection, clearances, fastener handling and torque values. A qualified technician with the exact model workshop manual is recommended.

26. What should be photographed before dispatch?

The manufacturer part-number label, full contents laid out, clutch centre front/back and any bundled plates or springs. This helps match the purchased item with the advertised assembly.

27. Is the historical MRP the current UTH price?

No. The TVS May 2024 list shows ₹2,647, but current retail pricing and actual package MRP must be checked. No automatic selling price is assigned.

28. Why is the assembly labelled Manual 3?

It is TVS catalogue terminology for this part type and revision. It does not mean a printed installation manual is included.
