Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Zzzz it's 29 in manual. 25 in swingarm.

I'll make it 29 32.

That's what's there in my swingarm.

I believed they corrected this mismatch in 2013, unfortunately the sticker on my bike was lost during a water-wash.
iirc, the one on the swingarm was supposed to be correct.
Ride with 29 and see how it feels. I've been happy with 28-29 at front, and over a few days it drops a couple of psi and i usually check tire pressures every two weeks and its usually at 25psi after 2 weeks. And I keep the rear at 32, considering my weight at 90kg.

Mileage wise I achieved almost 50kmpl at 6k rpm that is about 70-75 kmph in the 6th gear.

On the highway, it is comfortable to cruise at around 85kmph all day long and get a decent FE of around 34kmpl. You might get more FE if you keep the speeds down to the 70's. RPM wise, anything above 7000, will start to sip significantly more fuel.

50!? how did you calculate it? Don't tell me console figures after a 10minute ride.

I rode for an hour and a half at 75. And it gave me that reading. Twice. Once 48 and once 50.

that's some patience and good fe figures.. if the console showed 48, then your real-time FE would have been around 44.
I am yet to see a 40kmpl on mine,Anyway we shouldn't be focusing on the fe on such fun machines

Lol. I drove at a constant 70-75 for about 100 kms before my first service to yadgiri Gutta and back. So I didn't want to screw the engine by crossing 7k rpm so I maintained it at 6k. I hope you understand my situation. 😂

You won't screw your engine. It's made for that. Yes you keep redline it always. Yes. You will screw it. 7-8 K is fine.

If you have done your first servicing then Keep riding freely without worrying about the rpm much, just don't constantly redline it. Even i was worried about my bike so i know how it feels. But when you forget about the rpm its more pleasurable to ride. Trust me . You won't realize how fast the bike changes its character.

Which tail bag are you using here?

[chip94]

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Isn't that too low at the front ? The recommended is 29 iirc (at-least on the duke).
On my D200, i keep it at F-29 R-32(michelins seem happier with 32, when am on the saddle) considering I weigh 90kg.

F-26, R-30 seems perfect for me.

Re: KTM RC 200 Owners Experience Thread

Sometimes it feels like the front brake on my rc200 has lost quite a lot of stopping power and most of the time it behaves as it should. What might be the problem?
