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?

Hey, going by description I'm guessing it be a fork oil leakage. By mentioning plastic housing of the shaft, are you referring the front fender?

If it is a fork oil leakage as I guess and if it is as bad as you are finding them on the rim and tyre, it is very badly leaking and you should stop driving the bike and take it to svc to fix the leak asap, as it can get in contact with the tyre contact surface/brake disc rotor and which may cause bike to crash and much more. Believe me fork leak as bad as this should be fixed asap without any delay else consequences would be devastating.

P.S: pictures would make us understand the issue you are describing in a much better manner.

Guys, what is the price of the clutch lever?
Today, i accidentally dropped my bike while trying to park it. Because the side stand did not engage properly and the bikes clutch lever is bent.

Rs. 120 is the price of only the lever

i think the RC's will also cost somewhere near 1000 to 1300

It's cost is 1633/- in Pune. I just got mine replaced a couple of weeks ago.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hi,
Finally i have got my rc. ☺
Actually i have got it a few days back. I have been busy riding and i have already clocked around 600 kms. Moreover the delivery experience was surprisingly good as i was not expecting much from them and had fare share of trouble with them before. But still i am happy it went all good and smooth on the delivery day. There were some instances where i was a lil disappointed, like the way they manhandle the bikes and the way they keep it like diplay bikes where each bike has little scratch or dirt on it. But ignored that as i couldn't do anything. Instead of ruining my day, i decided to be happy and to go with it and ignored it.
Now coming to the bike...
The bike is smooth and acceleration is just awsome.
Plus i am happy that there is nothing loose or ratling so far.
The suspension is good and the stability is really surprising going over the potholes at considerable speeds.
I have stiffen the rear preload to lvl 6 as it was lil soft for me.
Its been just 4 days and i am already about to clock 1000 kms. Have to ride again for over 200 kms for aprox 5 hours to the service centre. Such pain. ��
The only thing that I don't like about this bike, is the cleaning. Its such a pain cleaning it.
But that's just nitpicking. ☺
Oh and the mileage i am getting is 30 to 35, which is not bad.
The bike just begs to corner...

I have a query. When i ride the bike over bumpy roads (not bad road or potholes, I am talking about the roads which are in good condition but the surface is not so plain and hence it feels bumpy or lil uneven ), there is a wierd vibration on the handlebars like it's buzzing when the suspension travels up and down. I don't think it's due to engine braking or engine vibration. Because it only happens while i am breaking or going over uneven roads. Since i didn't take a test ride on this, I am not sure if it's a normal thing. Is it something to be worried about or it's just normal characteristics of the bike?

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Any idea about the price of ktm rc's mirror? I broke mine today. A fat lady suddenly decided to cross the road without looking. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hi guys
I have some tick noise coming from the front near the handlebar every time I apply the front brake. I think it's from the suspension. It's quite loud and worries me. What could be the issue? So every time the bike dives forward when braking a tick sound can be heard.

it's most probably the 'cone-set' (steering stem race+bearings). first try to get it adjusted/tightened a bit or maybe even apply some grease and put it back together.
if that doesn't fix it, then you will probably need to replace the cone-set.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Sometimes i have this problem that headlights don't turn on at all after using the headlight switch but high beam flash works when i press the flasher. Happened twice and started working again after i turned the bike off for some time. One instance happened early in the morning and at night.
