    Seems like there is no bolt of the left side and theres one in the right.

      because the brake line seems to be routed from the right on the rc and hence the clamp+bolt
      case of the missing bolt solved

            Those aren't missing bolts. The brake line is routed from the right and hence there is a bolt there. There is nothing to bolt on the left hence no bolt.

                    Yesterday I took my bike to a local mechanic to change the bent clutch lever. The mechanic after finishing the job tried to start my bike. He revved the hell out of my bike without even letting the initial start up check (i forgot what it's exactly called) to complete. The bike shut down by itself after a while and it refused to start up when he tried again. But when i switch off the ignition and tried again then it started. I may being paranoid but guys do you think that could have or has damaged the bike? I mean the fuel pump or something?

                    I am being extremely cautious because the nearest service centre is more than 200kms away and the waiting period of parts is more than a month. They don't even stock a clutch lever and said that it may take a month to arrive. So they told me buy rs 200 one. I had to buy it from bajaj here.

                    Interesting fact the pulsar rs uses the same levers as the ktm's. Tge the lever which i bought had ktm branding on packet not bajaj. And it cost me only rs100.

                      relax, nothing would have happened to damage the bike.
                      yeh, most mechs are impatient and fire up before the sweep of the console is completed.
                      and i believe the levers are same/compatible with the pulsar 180 as well.i use it on my duke, and yes most regular parts are pocket friendly on the ktms.

                        Feels better now . Actually i got a bit worried when the bike was refusing to start after that. Happens to me alot, most of the people who wants to ride my bike does the same. Sometimes it gets annoying telling everybody how to start.

                            Nice set of bikes there. Was the rc able to keep up with others?

                                Nobody leaves a young hot girl alone, same principle applies here... No one leaves a RC200 behind..

                                Its been over 1.5 years and I still love my bike like the first day I saw her...

                                My friend calls my bike "a hot girl with an upskirt teasing you" [emoji16]

                                I call her "tall, bold and beautiful" the RC carries an attitude of its own.. Not sure who designed the RC, but its more of a eye catcher than any bike on the market visually...
