Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

The outer one with the sticker costs 4500.
And the inner one costs 1500.
Without labour.
The sliders costs 3000 and can serve you multiple falls

Where can i buy frame slider for my rc 200 . I am from kolkata. I have been looking for one from day i bought my bike but could find a proper one . Either the price is too high or the quality is too low.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Anybody on here did touring on the rc? How was the experience? Was the seating comfy? I have a friend who's shortlisted the rc200 to buy

me, I do a lot of touring... I did 800 Kms on one day on the RC....

now, agreed, the bike is NOT comfortable. but there's this factor called "getting used to" .. so you gotta give it some time to get used to and then say something..

if you don't want to, go for the Dukes or the Mojo or the RE Himalayan..

the RC is a track focussed bike - agreed.. but there are not much tracks here are they? so, Have to manage with what we got, the highways..

hence, it's not bad for touring, just soften the seat and harden the suspension per your weight and do NOT tightly hold the handle bars nor have your arms straight when holding the handlebars... hold it loose and just to guide, like being "perched" on the handlebars, you have to use your core muscles/back/lats muscles to hold you upright.. it'll take you sometime, but you will eventually get used to it.. some take short time, some take long.. so it depends on your body..

oh, just an update, I added the bolt charger to my baby...

I went on a 2000km trip and the only major issue i found was that after around 6 hours of riding the butt aches grow to a point which is barely tolerable. Other than that physically i didn't face any problem. As for the bike, it can tackle almost anything you throw in its way without hesitation. The only issue is the small fuel tank. Other than that i never had any problem with the bike.

You can find it in any local store. If you don't find it. There is a shop in Bangalore he supplies to various stores. I can send you those [emoji4]

Did a 100 kms trip... Well, it charges, but charges slow.. Cannot use GPS voice navigation + music via Bluetooth + bolt app on full brightness... The battery does drain.. However, if none of them are running and the screen is off and idle, it charges fast enough... Like 1% per 3 mins... Not bad... It SHOULD support music and charge atleast... Only more tests and trials will point it up..

One tip - be careful when "bolting" it to the handlebar... You have a good chance of bending and breaking the plastic clip..

My only fear - someone damaging the mobile pouch.. The adaptor comes off easy and I kept it with the side stand sensor bypass under the seat.. The dock is very small to notice...

How did you soften the seat? Did you use Ride On Air?

What is side stand sensor??

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

What is side stand sensor??

It is a bypass sensor which allows you to start the bike when the side stand is on.

There is a full review and wiring changes on this thread. Move it from the battery to the Ignition adapter to save battery like I did. This way you can keep the block on there without the fear of draining or fuse out.

Bro I am also using mobile charging on my bike ..
Let me tell you a fact that the charging usb cables makes alot of difference ..
I used these Samsung cables and then I bought one from HTC costed ₹250 and there is a good 50% difference can say ..
Or if you have any cable which came default with any 2Amp charger . use it and then post a review ..

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hi, I am planning to buy RC200. Just wanted to know the fuel efficiency it returns as all the different websites are saying a different story.

I know it doesn't make sense to ask mileage of RC but being an Indian it would be a crime not to ask

Could anyone please help?
