Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

I am regularly giving mine in marathahalli SVC, they are not the best but OK for me. Try to go there on the weekdays, weekends they don't even consider you if you are there at 9.45 AM. Weekends they will always have these excuses (Yesterday's pending bikes, ramp not working, chief mech not avail, etc) and ask you to come on Monday. Since they have a holiday on Sunday, they will try to reduce the number of bikes to take on Saturday (to close shutters early )

Thanks for the suggestion, i did my first service in marathahall SVC and it wasnt bad at all.... it was good and mostly it was because i was the first one to give it on a saturday morning...
thanks again

Cheers

Hello.
I have rc390.
Only one problem.
Windshield is getting very dirty and not easy to clean from inside.
Has anyone wrapped windshield with matte white stickers?

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Hi guys.. I got my rc 2 weeks ago n have done 600 km by now. I somehow have a feeling the ride is very very rough. Especially in first 2-3 gears. It hardly does anything in 2nd gear n it feels like I'm pulling the vehicle hard even if I'm at 3000 rpm in 2nd gear. Also, the chain sound is very annoying n I think it is hitting the chain guard every now n then.. Is all this coz it is yet to get the first servicing done? Or u got any suggestions. I've been following run in time n keeping the rpms moderate(not very low as it might effect the engine in higher gears).. Please give me some good news..

Hey guys... I own a Pulsar RS 200... But I really envy you guys...! Couldn't afford RC so had to wait for months and settle for RS [emoji53] But its my first bike so I don't have any complaints and am loving it..![emoji4]
So I was just wondering if any of you guys installed an aftermarket exhaust or changed your air filter from stock to K&N? If yes, did you reset the ECU? Am still an amateur and new to biking so wanna know a few things rather than messing around with my bike[emoji1]
Any kind of information about this is much appreciated..! Thanks a ton fellas!

Yeah, that is normal. Even in duke, at around 3000rpm, the power seems to be low. The bike is bit adamant. You have go the way it likes to enjoy it 😀. Chain thing, you will get used to it and believe me you wil stop noticing it after a while. Lubricate your chain as it has run for 500 kms.
Happy riding.

well it'll get smoother and better with the services. Check if the chain if its loose,anyway you can take your bike to an KTM service center and get it checked,as long as you have warranty make sure you make good use of it

Which oil do you use? I know the manual says 20W40, but at my last service they put 20W50 instead, i think vibrations have increased due to that. Could it be the case?

20w40?? that's what the new manual says??
crazy, I use 20w50 fully synth motul 7100
300v is for tracks & not daily use..

I hope we get the height adjustable handle bars.. Ill install them & use my sports-only bike for touring happily!!! She gives me adequate power and speed.. I'm not pushing either.. when I hit tracks, I'll lower the handles & on highway runs & city runs, I'll increase the height..
