Hi Guys,
My RC200 is gonna arrive in about a week. I asked the showroom guys and they confirmed that the new version of the bikes have slipper clutch. Can anyone confirm this??
Maybe people who have just received their bikes can shed some light on this slipper clutch mystery.

Congratulations! But you have the wrong information as slipper clutch is there only for duke and rc 390, none of the 200s are getting it!

Just updating the thread with my mileage information.

Morning time heavy traffic ride : 29-31 KmpL
Night time no traffic ride : 41-42 KmpL

That's better than my activa's figures !!

Anyone tried to adjust the rear mono shock? If yes, could you please help me how to do that? Current settings is default 3 clicks, for softer suspension what is the number you suggest?

for 200cc, slipper clutch is pointless. maybe for the 390, I've heard that they are keeping slipper clutch due to it's power.. but AFAIK, they haven't confirmed it officially.

that's some sweet numbers.. I get around 33-35 in city and 40's when ridden smoothly and steadily.. highways, well, depends on how much you open up the throttle.. and over and above that, you must be on the correct gear. driving slow on higher gear, that too reduces mileage I observed..

not me.. and you better do it yourself.. the simple reason being you know your comfort level.

I tried, but the spanner slipped and I hurted my palm and a small scratch on the orange Trellis

The update is official and even the showroom guys have approved about slipper clutch being introduced.

To adjust the rear suspension, place the suspension adjust tool, the extension for rear axle nut, and the spanner for rear axle in line. Then place it on the rear suspension, and place a cloth on the frame, where you it will hit after a click.
I have adjusted suspension from 3 to 5.
