Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

nothing much, don't let the petrol drops fall on the paint.. scratches, can't avoid.. live with it..




sorry to hear that man.. shouldn't go beyond 5 to 7K...

Luckily it won't stretch to that amount. Got the underseat cowl for around Rs.600, the taillight is yet to arrive, should not cost more than Rs.700 IMO.

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]

Can you send me a few pics of it

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hi guys,

I recently bought the RC200.
I would be grateful if I could get suggegstions as to how I should be maintaining the body paint (colour, reducing scratches, etc)
Since its matte finish, i was not sure if polishing it (with wax or other polishes) would be a good idea.
Please share your suggestions.

A car dashed into my rc200 yesterday and sped off, now my tail light and the underseat part have shattered. Anyone knows how much would it cost ?

OK so I took my bike out to run an errand. It was raining at that that time. I was riding with a pillion. After 6 or so kms steam/smoke started coming out from the fairing and handlebar area. The bike was 5 bars hot according to the instrument console. It happened whenever I stopped at signals, it gradually decreased after 4 kms or so. What I suspect : water collected on helmet and tank started dripping between the gaps of the handlebar and tank and fell on a hot surface. I have driven in stronger rains before but it never happened. Have other KTM RC bikes faced such an issue before.

Yeah you're correct, happens to me too after I wash the bike sometimes. Nothing to worry

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Big mistake I was not around during the service. Am I duped, does this O-Ring really exist?

Going by the part number in your bill (the last item oil seal), it does seem to exist.
a google of the part number shows its from bajaj spares.
It's probably an oil seal from the clutch side.. (100% positive it is not from the oil filter housing, which is the first item O ring that costs 5rs.)
It's always better to hang around during services.. especially ones such as this which is not a routine service but to fix specific issues.
Your best bet is to go and ask them about it.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

What O ring is this ?, I mean from which part of the engine?

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

You can try. Why didn't you point it out on day 1??

When I took the delivery i didn't notice that, but i checked everything else in the pdi. Actually it didn't occur me once that the handle could be bend. After reaching home only i noticed that. And since the service centre is 200 kms away so i couldn't go back and thought of changing that in the first service but they quoted 6000 for that. Since i was not sure if i can claim warranty on that i decided to not to. Now thinking what to do.

Ps: When i asked them during the first service, they said that I can't claim warranty for this. I didn't force them at the time because my clutch lever was bent as i had dropped the bike while parking and I knew that they would try to put the blame on me.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hi guys, my bike's handle was a little bend towards the right from day one. Like when i turn the handle i can clearly see the difference between the handle bar and the tank gap. The bike is almost 2 months now, so can i claim warranty on this? Please help.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

They checked everything, oil quantity was correct, oil was not burnt, oil could have been used further for more KMS. But the culprit seems to be the O-Ring. It was bulged to cut. Pictures below. Replaced O-Ring and checked oil pressure and it was holding good. He said in case this happens again please get the bike and leave it with us for two days, we may need to do an extensive analysis.

I thought the O ring on the oil filter housing cap was the same across the dukes/rc's i.e. a thin but larger dia O ring.
