re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

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

Thank you Ajay and Ishaan. Received my bike 3 days back and it does not appear to have the aforementioned slipper clutch. But when I compared it with a friend's bike who got his from the first lot, the clutch on my bike felt a lot smoother and this was confirmed by my friend too. So there is no slipper clutch for sure, but they have made some modifications I guess which makes the bike feel different. Also, people weren't kidding when they said this bike gets you glances. Almost half the people around you have their face turned in your direction when you're driving this machine. But that doesn't matter as riding this bike is worth it all by itself.

Good to know updated soft clutch on RC200, is it also same of RC390?

Going to give my bike for 1st service in half an hour. What are the things i should look out for before and after service and anything special that i should mention to the mechanic. Also how much time does it take for the bike to get service!

Bro its awesome to ride, I can proudly say I own a beast... But this beast has lot of vibrations...even after servicing. Its a pleasure to own a KTM as its engine is one of the finest. But my bikez body parts has lots of vibrations.. Took it to different KTM svc in Bangalore still they aren't able to figure it out

If one has a fall from his bike then don't blame the bike, it's the rider who has not learnt enough.

re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

he clearly is unhappy with his bike due to some issues he's facing (vibrations). What it has to do with his riding abilities? He said something due to his poor experience with his bike and everyone started bashing him, for being an idiot who can't handle RC.

Although i agree, challenging for a street race, using sms lingos is very immature. He shouldn't have lost his cool with slightest provocation

Sir i have mentioned below that always test drive before you buy !
If this was done the difference would have been clear enough !

As far as vibes are concerned its simple issue of loss screws/bolts that hold fairing !
Or improper run-in ( mostly likely in this case) ..
But the thing is guys like this simply state their decision was wrong etc etc
Instead of diagnosing the issue by themself !
And My point waa if r15 is better ..then why not buy in first place ! :/ 😑 :screwy:

Peace out ✌

things looks like off topic here.

Anyways
Any update on price hike by KTM?
How much your machine is getting heated during this summer afternoon?

re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Price is still same at Bangalore.. Without a jeans and shoe..its not possible to revv it for long...it gets heated up.. That being said..Its less than Duke... Radiator works pretty well..

re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

RC 200 is totally worth the money if you love ktm and the rush it produces, not the comfort of your butt.
PS- test rode a rs.
Lack of ABS is a thumbdown though, atleast it should be PROVIDED when we purchase a bike at premium.
