    Just got the bike back from the SVC.

    Very happy with how they performed the operation.

    Got the instrument cluster replaced with a brand new one. Now the odometer has 5 kms on it. The previous information has been wiped clean. Also, the weird buzzing sound that used to come from underneath the dash is gone (thankfully). Most of the fairing vibrations are gone as well.

    The tappets still do make that tik tik sound, but it's a little less than before now.

    Also the bike now idles properly at 1500 RPM!

    They also fixed the heavy steering at low speeds. So all in all I'm a happy camper right now.

    Total cost: Nil. (Done under warranty) The labor work was a 1000 Rs if it hadn't been for the warranty.


    Thanks and Happy riding guys!
    Nice to hear bro. I wonder though how your tappet noise reduced after replacing the console? By the way I am happy the noise is less now.cheers brother.

      They had to open up the bike completely to replace just the display. I would've attached pictures but it says they're too big.

      Because they had the tank and all already out, I told them to have a look at the tappets as well since they won't be opening up the bike again anytime soon.

      I'll report after a few days about the sound if it increases or decreases with time (hopefully it'll decrease).

      Hope this helps. Cheers!

          Could you describe the sound and also what part of the bike it comes from?
          here is the sound that i am talking about:

          Clyp is the easiest way to record, upload and share audio.

            You mean the squeaky sound?

            More than likely it's from the disc (either one). I'd say ride the bike without using the brakes (or push it), and then touch the discs one by one. If they are very hot, then the pads are rubbing against the disc.Get them loosened up a bit at the SVC.

            If the sound comes from the rear of the bike then it's most probably the chain bushing which is gone. There is a small rubber mount which keeps the chain from scratching the swing arm, maybe that's worn out. Do tell them to have a look at that as well.

            Cheers!

                  yes the squeaking sound that comes at the beginning of the audio.. i think its mostly from rear..

                    Hi guys!
                    I'm Lubaid from Jammu and Kashmir.Firstly, I want to thank you all for all the indepth reviews about the RS 200.
                    Now about my story, I booked my bike on 9th December 2015. I wanted a 2016 variant of the bike so the sales executive told me, " Sir you won't get it so very soon" Hearing those words broke my heart, I wanted the beast sooner than the timeline , which was first week of February. Researching and reading reviews of the bike , I found this thread and that was the best day of my life. A bible about my bike 😍 .. Days kept on looking like months and I kept on calling Paris Bajaj(that's the name of the bajaj showroom) and they kept on telling me ,"Sir it's going to take us some more time".
                    100 years later came February! On February I called the showroom guys and they said," Sir we're sorry for the inconvenience but its going to take a month" and there my dreams shattered!
                    From then on I kept on saying myself , Don't think about the bike mann the days are just gonna pass like a breeze.
                    Days passed my urge for the bike started creeping in again! So I called the showroom guys and they promised me to deliver the bike on 29th of February! But it was still Friday ,two more days to go !
                    29th February The Delivery
                    At about 10:30A.M I got a call from the showroom ,"Sir the bikes have arrived, you can come and have your bike by 2PM. I talked to my dad about this and we were ready at about 1:30 PM. The drive to the showroom was endless! I just wanted to have a look at my RED DEVIL!
                    We reached the showroom , I saw my bike and It was absolutely a bliss. I had prepared a list of what to check when the bike gets delivered. But when I saw my beast , I almost forgot everything I had listed down 😁 But checked for the scratches , dents, coolant levels etc.
                    Got our paperwork done and gave the mechanic some tip who checked all the nuts and bolts and then I was ready to go!!
                    But then I controlled my emotions and handed the bike keys to dad and said Papa ap chala lo(you drive it) He said ,"I'm too old for this ap chala lo ap chalao ya main chalaavun ek hi baat hai". So I sat on the saddle put the helmet and the gloves on. When I pressed the start button, WROOOOOM! The bike started in just one go. The exhaust sound was sweet!
                    About the bike
                    Its heavy! Yeah its heavy when going slow but linear after 40+. The bike goes over 60+ in no time , didn't go beyond that till now.
                    Rode my bike for 50km now, The gears are hard but I guess they'll smoothen with time. Noticeable amount of vibrations on the foot pegs at 4k RPM in 3rd gear. There's just one problem, Sometimes I have to upshift for a downshift because when directly down shift doesn't work. Seat is on a bit harder side. The rest of the bike is AMAZING!
                    Thankyou guys for bearing with me and my story 😊
                    Ps - Sorry for my english.

                      Have any1 experienced this!?
                      If i keep my chain adjuster at 26 i ll get only 15mm of free play if i change it to 27 chain play will increase to 37mm,
                      So im keeping it at 15mm free play!!
                      Is there any way to keep my chain play at 20mm.

                        Hi,

                        Is it required to add engine oil additive to increase the engine smoothness? Anyone used for your bike? Will it reduce the foot peg vibration? I have tightened the foot rest screws.

                        Also tell me about fuel injector cleaner. I just wanted to know since my engine stops whenever I decelerate suddenly.

                            No additive needed for bike.
                            Also if you feel that engine is stopping after deceleration, then just take it to showroom n get the initial rpm set to 1800.

                            This will fix your issue.
                            Enjoy rhe beast

                            This is nothing to worry about. Gear shifts will smoothen after 1000KMS...
                            This just because the bike it new n the parts are not used. Chillax

                                Got my screeching metal noisefixed!! I used to get this noise when I used accelerate quickly after shifting to the 1st gear. Thought it was issue with the front disc or something. But luckily the service engineer knew that it was coming from the engine area. Said something about some bedding rubbing against something else. And, he fixed it! No more embarrassing launches at the signal My fairing gaps keep increasing and they keep re-fitting the fairing. This won't work in the long run so I'm planning to get Bajaj to replace the entire fairing under warranty because it's a manufacturing defect. Wish me luck!

                                Got my second service done. Can you please check the bill and let me know if the prices are right ? Bill also contains polishing and had to replace and the tail-light reflector.

                                Now onto some minor mods. Removed all the decals from the bike. Never liked them. They are worth 4k it seems.

                                Installed Anti-Theft with Remote Start. And yes, the bike will leap forward if you use remote start when the bike is in gear

                                Installed a mobile holder after a recommendation from one of the owners in this thread. Thanks alot!

                                Also installed a USB charger. Wrapped it in duct tape to protect it from the elements.
