KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Yesterday I took my bike to a local mechanic to change the bent clutch lever. The mechanic after finishing the job tried to start my bike. He revved the hell out of my bike without even letting the initial start up check (i forgot what it's exactly called) to complete. The bike shut down by itself after a while and it refused to start up when he tried again. But when i switch off the ignition and tried again then it started. I may being paranoid but guys do you think that could have or has damaged the bike? I mean the fuel pump or something?

I am being extremely cautious because the nearest service centre is more than 200kms away and the waiting period of parts is more than a month. They don't even stock a clutch lever and said that it may take a month to arrive. So they told me buy rs 200 one. I had to buy it from bajaj here.

Interesting fact the pulsar rs uses the same levers as the ktm's. Tge the lever which i bought had ktm branding on packet not bajaj. And it cost me only rs100.

Does anyone has idea how much does the Rc390 or Rc200 headlight bulb(both high and low) will cost me?

Going to get the RC. Sad to hear about missing bolts , hopefully I don't face the same problems

Those aren't missing bolts. The brake line is routed from the right and hence there is a bolt there. There is nothing to bolt on the left hence no bolt.

Yep... The brake is routed from the right side... Man.. I'm becoming more and more worried/sick/tired of seeing missing bolts and nuts everywhere..!!!

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Seems like there is no bolt of the left side and theres one in the right.

because the brake line seems to be routed from the right on the rc and hence the clamp+bolt
case of the missing bolt solved

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Not the instrument cluster bro.. Underneath that on the fork..

Oh, well, mine isn't a duke, so my best guess - that hole is something else then.. Parts are reused.. Agreed.. Just curious what's there if not blank on a new RC...

i know yours isn't a duke it's a nazi mega machine.
the lower triple clamp is same/similar to the one on the dukes. like i said, on the duke's that hole is used to secure the back plate of the headlight assy and also to hold the front brake line.
on the rc, i assume the brake line is routed differently and hence that hole is left unused.(or someone messed with your brake lines)
here is a pic of the RC lower triple clamp and the duke front brake line (see part 3 next to which is the clamp)

It will be nice if you can simply see your bike and tell me whether even you guys are missing a but.. "checking the duke thread" did you even read what I wrote bro???

hahaha Ajay,yes i did read your post bro, but that "checking the duke thread" reply was for Jray's instrument cluster cover .

And for the missing nut,i will check my bike and update today.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

I believe that was for me as the instrument cluster are same for all KTM's. But yeah i forgot to check it before riding today, will do tonight.

Relax, its just a case of parts being reused across models.
On the duke, that hole is used to secure (with a bolt of course) the plastic back plate of the headlight assembly and also the front brake hose clamp.
