Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

You would stare a lot more if you'd remove that tyre hugger. (it's a must during rains though)

But removing it would also mean throwing debris from the rear.so if anyone is behind you the debris will be hitting him pretty much directly

[MENTION=52506]vishnu.leo[/MENTION] where do I plug in the hazard light adaptor? can you please put up a pic for me? TIA

if you remove the rider seat, you get access to a white socket which is having a rubber waterproofing hood over it, the socket in its stock form has a loop back plug plugged in and tape is stuck around it to hold it in place, you need to remove that tape, and the plug then you will have the port ready to accept the hazard light module, make sure you click
it in and wind a piece of tape around that area to make sure the module doesn't fall off from the socket in any case, (the port when no accessory or no loop back plug is plugged will make the electronics go weird).

Buddy your windscreen looks nice.is it the mra one ? Can you put up the details as im looking for my rc 390.

No its not an MRA one, its the one from Puig. had waited a couple of months to lay hands on one of those when they finally started production from the prototype they had showcased at that time.
It now readily available at the official dealers here, specifically Retrorides Moto, https://www.facebook.com/RetroridesMoto
helped me get one of the first ones to reach india. my suggestion is to go for a dark smoke one if you want something subtle, you could also check
out the original power part race bubble with light cutout from amazon.com or some reseller, it should cost a bit less than the puig or mra.

I don't really mind it.

Not only that, but it also helps keep the rear suspension and the neighboring area clean that's less work for me when i wash her.

So it doesn't matter what problem the other vehicle gets into!

In case if you do find the socket below the Seat as it did not for me, you need to remove the rear seat with the help of Allen keys provided.

1. Once you remove the front seat, you need to check above the small storage there is screw inside which hold the rear seat.
2. remove the bolt, and your rear seat will slide off, there you will find the connector.

for me it was not below the front seat.

From my observation the hugger doesn't make much difference!

Maybe it doesn't but i don't see the point in removing it

I was just listing another benefit of using the Tyre hugger.

maybe not to you, but definitely does for the guy riding behind you

Keep the rear hugger.imagine a guy behind you riding by not closing the visors of the helmet.when a stone hits him directly in his eyes at such high speed he is in all sorts of trouble.I know it looks cool but my friend road safety always comes first [emoji4]

So... What did i say?

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Ok so I was riding back home when a bike from the opposite side hit my RHS mirror. Now only the glass has cracked while the rest of the mirror is fine. Upon checking with the SVC, they told that the entire mirror has to be replaced at a cost of 1700Rs. Is there an alternative? 1700 is too much for a mirror IMO. How can I get only the glass replaced?

find another mirror that has the glass intact but the stem broken.. ask around in the svc for a scrapped one with the glass intact
and somebody either here on the rc200 or rc390 thread has recently posted that he was able to swap just the glass, try to search a couple of pages back and you should get the info.
