Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hey guys, my coolant overflow pipe is snapped, can I change it under my warranty?? SVC guys tell that, no warranty for broken parts, only those parts which are not working, comes under warranty! So, what shall I do.. He's saying 350/- for assembling new bottle/part and 150/- for coolant...


Pipe broke down, I don't know how, here's a picture

it should be replaced under warranty, tell them to replace it under warranty.. simple.. if they don't comply, send an email to KTM India... they will only call you & invite you to their workshop for replacement of the same..

It's a common issue that KTM somehow failed to rectify that, I got mine broken, replaced twice, broke the third time, left it there, it's an overflow pipe.. doesn't really matter if your coolant is in correct levels.. unless it's bothering you deeply, I'll say, just leave it..

Though the coolant reservoir can be ignored as AV has mentioned. Hot coolant leak from a broken nipple, can spew the coolant all over the orange frame can spoil any electronic components and what not. Secondly, hot coolant can remove and fade the orange paint of the frame over time and leave over a permanent green residue which is very hard to remove. Your best bet would be to shoot a mail to KTM and have it changed under warranty if the SVC doesn't support you in anyway, and if your bike is under warranty period. These things will and should be taken care of under warranty.

Cheers!

i had the same issue long time back, and had the coolant reservoir changed under warranty, if i remember correctly they charged me around a 100 bucks for coolant top up, not sure though since it was a long time back.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

It's fine. The bike drives normal. The steering panel protrusion that stops the handle from overturning broke off on one side. It'll cost over 7k is what the SVC told me. Plus the indicator broke off. So it might cost over 10k. It's working fine without these repairs. Can surely hold on for a month or more. The side panels have scratches on them. It didn't break but I feel like getting them changed.

And this is my first bike so I also want to ask, if Its better to claim insurance for these kind of repairs? Especially since I'm planning to upgrade next year?

If the cost of repairs is over 10k, and you are upgrading soon then it makes sense to claim insurance. Why spend out of pocket. Renew insurance and then claim it.

yes, just renew & claim... but if the new insurance co. comes up for inspection (some do) and find that the bike is already damaged, there are chances that they won't honour it.. dude believe me... insurance companies will always find a way to dishonour claims.. just be careful.. best - renew the insurance with current vendor.. don't change the current insurance agent & do the claim..

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

hope the new insurance co doesn't have a lock-in period.. the period till which you can't claim any insurance...

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

I Don't think either will support.. iffco will say that it's pre-existing and will deny claim, liberty will say you are no longer with them and deny claim.. there's a strong possibility..

Well thanks. I'll change the insurance and claim.

Liberty Videocon. Let's say I give my bike for insurance claim today and tomorrow I change my policy to iffco tokio. What will happen?
I have only 10 days left on my insurance with liberty.

Planning to sell it to upgrade to the 390. Mind says duke but heart says RC.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

which insurance was the cover under which you were when you dropped the bike? they will.. but if you dropped & then changed insurance, you're on your own.. also why sell next year?

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hello,
I've I have to buy an insurance for my bike. Please suggest the best ones. I have iffco tokio in my mind because of its high IDV.
Planning to sell my bike next year.
Also, I dropped my bike last month. A couple of parts are still broken so, if I renew my insurance now, (Previous- liberty Videocon) who will pay for it? Liberty or iffco tokio? 10 days left for the insurance to expire.
