re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

so water or rains will not be issues for KTM bikes ????

Yup no issues! If you are not convinced enough, go and check duke200 videos on youtube, there people have totally shut the engine of when bike is deep in water and started again without any hassles

OT but kinda related (pic shot by me, sadly the rider decided to not wear his helmet during this stunt):

Don't worry bro...the rider need not wear helmet in water what happ if the rider almost drowns...it's inconvenient to resuscitate him with a helmet covering his mouth...just joking!!!

Hey guys, I would like to share my awesome experience with my bike yesterday night at Bangalore on a record breaking rainfall registered after 8 years.

Today while riding I realized the bonding between the bike and me has become one step closer and I hope soon I will be bonded with this bike like I was with my RX.

Wow!! thats good that bike is good even with heavy rain!

Was the fan facing any problem for running when it was dipped into water?
I always scared to see the radiator is wet. Can it be problem if it got wet??

Anyone bought Paddock or other accessories from this guys: Facebook. I enquired about Paddock for mine, they quoted 2200+400 Bangalore shipping. Is this a good price? I am worried about the quality. Need your help guys.

....

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

had couples of queries also which i asked -:
so you would be remapping the existing ecu right?
Yes, stock ecu will be remapped.


have you faced any glitches up until now from customers
No, as map has been refined so much and is being used by more than 500 riders.


also what is warranty period
Lifetime warranty for the map


what are the performance gain after putting after market exhaust
Exhaust wont help much with the increase in power but you can expect better acceleration and throttle response. And our map is tuned accordingly to adopt to after-market exhaust.


also when and if ridden at 140+for constant 1hr..any troubles
No, But we also do not suggest to rev the engine constantly for a long time at 13000 rpm


also how frequent should oil change periods be reduced to and service intervals.....
Just follow regular service intervals


Please feel free to contact us for further information.
We suggest for a better view on map please call on 9717317505 or 97111971791

Linear Power Delivery starts from 3,000 RPM till 13,000 RPM

Linear? Will we miss the current aggressive power delivery?

[MENTION=8543]joe[/MENTION] really ...-_- I give you 2PARAS of info and....that is all your concern ...hahaha fine senor .
..i think by linear power they don't mean drop in acceleration on the contrary. If you see ecu remaps ...they generally result in better/quicker. speed/acceleration per gear ...

Hey buddy thanks a ton for sharing some vital info, it was as treat

However the linear power delivery strikes me because I see how 390 guys struggle inside tight traffic. We are one step ahead of 390 is just because of our mad acceleration dude.

Thanks for clarifying bro.

The 200 has short gear ratios which helps it to putter around in 2-3rd gear in traffic even at low speeds allowing for a stress free ride.

The 390 on the other hand has relativeLy taller gear ratios resulting in downshifts to 1,2nd and the additional 20kgs makes it heavier to manoeuvre.

The 390(5.5sec to 100kmph) actually had mad acceleration compared to a 200(10sec).

Hop on a 390 once and go WOT once, you'll know what mad acceleration is.

Sorry my post made your u pitch in here. Sorry I'm not comparing 390 here, I called 390 only for the difference how both the horses gallop between two bumpers.

BTW taller gear will help you to putter around city comfortably. I have rode 390 and if u have ridend 200 you will surely know what I mean. What I mentioned is surely not related anything related to 0-100 timings. If I had mentioned anything wrong in my earlier post to I'm sorry wholeheartedly.

re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hey man, chill out. I just wanted you to understand why a 200 is considered more comfortable in the city than a 390. After all, we are here to share information.

re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hahaha ...:-) So I was wondering how to make rc 200 a more eager track performer ecu remap is crucial ...but like [MENTION=11444]akhil[/MENTION]ash said it is evidently slower in 0-100 ...so without performing any kind of engine tune what else can help ..200 be track sufficient ...

Before you work on power, you can work on a better riding position and adjustable suspension. You can get adjustable rearsets, preload adjusters for the front, race bubble screen, remove unwanted body parts, to begin with
As far as 0-100 time is concerned, that doesn't matter on the track more than your time from like 60-120kmph. On a track you would rarely come below 50 or 60kmph.

re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hmmm interesting ...so man the suspension is 3clicks default right what are good settings for track considering I am 78kg also man I am pretty illiterate. When it comes to suspension so shed little knowledge About the same ...
