Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

I dont have much idea about this,since all the ktms have the same design, check DUKE threads.

Is there any permanent solution to fix Side stand loosening or DIY guide???

Will check and post.

Meanwhile..

The instrument cluster glass/plastic cover on my rc is scratched badly, most probably from when i cleaned the bird poo that was on it. Anyone know the price of the part?

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???

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Mine is bent too a little, so was looking to get it fixed at next service, could you please describe what exactly is the lever with adjustments?

you can adjust the length and 'range' (how far or close the lever it towards the handle bar). ergonomics (small hands/fingers), functionality and well..some style.
Some of these lever are also foldable.. in case you drop the bike, the lever folds over minimizing bending/broken levers.

I was considering doing that only . But i will keep that for later because right now my budget is set towards some riding gears. Budget is tight at the moment.

Guys i have an issue. It has been just a week since I bought the bike and i have just noticed that my handlebar is slightly bent towards the right side. While riding the stability of the bike is fine but when ridden without holding the handlebars it sways to the left.
Can this be a easy fix or do i have to replace the triple clamp or the handlebars?

Here are some pics



The gap between right side handlebar and the tank is less than the.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Guys I am currently facing a problem in my RC 200 wherein I can see oil deposition on my front right side shock absorber assembly. The lubrication oil residue on the right shaft is much more compared to the left one. I am afraid that there may be an oil leakage from the piston as I can see oil stains even on the plastic housing of the shaft and on the portion of the rims and trye that lies exactly beneath the shaft while parked. Could anyone explain to me the gravity of this situation and has anyone experienced this before?

That's definitely an oil leak from the fork.
Some ktm dealers have this tool called the 'fork doctor' , which can be used to clean/remove the grime from under the seal. In some cases this might arrest the leak for good. I've had mine cleaned during regular services and did notice that it does a good job of cleaning. The right fork seal went bust at around 18k km which i believe was due to going over 100 speed breakers during one particular ride

If the cleaning doesn't help, you will need to have the fork seals replaced along with fresh oil. This will be done under warranty and you will only have to pay for the fork oil (which is 450ml per fork leg)

Since these being USD forks, if the leak is not arrested quickly you will end up with losing most of the oil. I rode with the busted seal for two days and on the second day there was a pool of oil on the front rim (was standing parked in office) and i rode it home slowly and left it in parking for two days before i could take it to the svc.. and some more oil had seeped out and it handled like a boat

Any traces of oil near the front fork tubes, fork plastic, all mean the either one of the forks have developed a leak. There should be absolutely no traces of oil or any liquid substance on the tube especially after a spirited ride.
