Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Any way to clean chain lube off the alloys and tyres? I guess i sprayed a little more than required and the excess is now on the sides of rear tyre and alloys. This has been bothering me for some days now

Use few drops of kerosene and wipe it with cloth, alloys will get cleaned but I don't know how to clean tyre.

Can you post a video. It can be as simple as from a loose bolt to cowls or something worse, do post a video if you can.

Listen closely while the RPM is dropping, you might understand what I was trying to say. I am owning the bike for one year, only after the recent SVC trouble with replacement part I am hearing this sound. They did replace the coolant reservoir under warranty, but new issues started. This sound is heard close to airfilter box or underseat.


PS: Highly recommended to use a headphone to listen.

Re: Does engine performance go down because of using different petrol?

Hi,.. I own RC 200, I always use (Shell) Power Petrol only when I'm in Bangalore.

When I go out, we don't have Shell Petrol Pump everywhere, so then I have to use Normal petrol only.

My worry is, will my bike engine's performance go down because of different petrol.?

it all boils down to the individual petrol bunk when it comes to adulteration.
1000's of folks use petrol from BP, IOC etc without any issues.. so fret not.
A personal recommendation, instead of paying for 'premium' 'speed' types of fuel, just fill up regular petrol and use this additive called "Adon P" maybe every other tankful. It's sold at most IOC outlets.

Unfortunately wasn't able to hear the audio, in fact I wasn't able to open.

I was washing the bike today and noticed this, Is it supposed to be this way? What is it for?

Please pardon the video, it was taken in the dark. I intended to cover only the audio.

Seems like loose plastic, check if something got loose, like battery cover etc

Nopes! I might be wrong, but from what I saw on the swingarm of the naked one, I don't see those treading. Could you get a wide angle shot of the picture, so that we can get a closer view.

No, it's not. If something is loose the sound should be always there. This sound comes only when the engine is cold, once the engine reaches optimum temp, the sound disappears.

I got a Low Battery warning four days before, I took out the battery and gave for charging in an authorized Exide battery shop. The charge was full, when connected to multimeter it showed ~ 13.4. After two days of running I am again getting the Low Battery warning. Is my battery dead or the alternator (don't know what we call it for bikes)?. My bike was idle for around 1 month, since I was out of town.

Is battery covered under warranty?
