Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

lifespan? it depends on usage & road conditions and tyre pressure and all..

well maintained tyres of michelin should give 17-20K kms easy.. I maintain a pressure of 29/29 since I always go solo..

how to maintain tyre in good condition? make sure it's free of oil when lubing the chain, just wipe out any oil on the tyres, gives good grip, the first 200-500 KMs the tyre will take to get the optimum grip, so go easy during that time, always maintain the correct tyre pressure & avoid going on rough patches of road.. avoid getting the tyres punctured.. a side wall puncture, just throw that rubber out.. that's pretty much unless folks around here have anymore inputs..

Thanks for the advice, i can follow everything, except for the rough patches, there's no road in Bangalore without patches/holes/cuts and what not...

5200 is expensive I feel, try to get the tyre from MRF store, I think the tyre is some 4K and labour is 200 IIRC.. @s1d can give more inputs, I use Michelins..

Except for the Solapur to Umargaon stretch, the roads are awesome! No aches surprisingly. Balls are fine! Fuel Efficiency was around 35km/litre.

A true rider.
You rode from Mumbai to Hyderabad on an RC[emoji41]

You must have enjoyed the stretch from Mumbai to Pune. And cursed the one around sholapur.

Any pains?? How are nuts? Alright?
What was your FE for this ride?

Of-course the svc would charge more for blessing the tire
The Mrf is available for around 4k and can be bought at most mrf dealers.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hey people posting after a long time,

I have to change my RC's back Tyre, the SVC guy told me the stock tyre costs around INR 5.2K including the labour, so my question is : are there any better tyres available in market for the RC 200 and for what cost ? need your suggestions.

Thanks in advance everybody.

Should I switch to filling nitrogen (in tires of KTM RC 200) ?

Ktm rc200

Brought my KTM RC200 2017 on 22nd March 2017. Absolutely in love with the bike, handling is slick, performance wise it's an absolute beast, for a 200 CC.
This 200cc bike can deliver approximately 25 bhp and with it, it's 6 speed gear box do wonders. However I wished KTM had made a bigger fuel tank for this bike. 10.2 litters of gas in a performance bike is probably a little less, if you're planning on a long ride. Over all, apart from the fuel tank capacity, the bike is lovely.

I hope this small review helps!

Ride safe!
