    Check for bent forks, fork tube and triple clamp, one of that could be the reason for pre-mature wear of head bearing so soon within 3 months.

      Everything related to forks in is alright, there is no problem with these things.
      One thing to add is that after replacing bearing set I went to mussoorie trip and it is almost hilly terrain. Does that have anything to do with it?

        There is a thud sound that comes from the front somewhere in the RS 200. It has been there since launch, and Bajaj hasn't fixed it even in the BS4 versions. This sound comes when you hit a pothole or speedbump at medium speed. It will not go away, so there is no use trying to rectify it. You'll just have to live with it.

        Cheers.

The local mechanic says that ball bearing set has to be replaced

          Replace the ball bearing once more if the problem isn't fixed replace the t stem

            Recently poured Motul 300V 15w50 into RS200 but the response is not as expected. Instead the performance has gone down. There is more engine noise and vibration than before. I cant understand the problem. Does 300V is not supported by RS200??

              No, 300V is not recommend for RS200. That oil is only for performance race oriented and lasts only 2000-1500kms. It'll cause leaky head gaskets and bad valve oil seals if used for long duration.

              Stick to Motul 5100/7100 for RS200.

                If you've followed my post, I've always recommended not to use the 300V on our motorcycles. The oil just doesn't do justice for the price, or the performance it has to offer. The best oil for the NS/RS series are 3100 and the 5100 of the same grade, especially the later. 300V has a high tendency to roughen the engine and induce hard gear shifts after a few hundred KMS of ride or once the engine is warmed up. After extensively using 300V for a while now, it's been years since I've looked back at this oil. It's always Shell, or other grades of Motul and not 300V.

                Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                The girl said, 'NO!'


                And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                  So should I drain 300v and pour 5100 or 7100 cause I am having serious engine noise and vibration issues since 300v is poured in?

                    Good to know info.

                    I moved to Motul 7100 10w50 from 7100 20w50 a month ago, there was some vibration early on but it's smoother than it was before oil change.

                      I would recommend you use it for the timebeing say around 2k kms, and then drain the oil. Draining it less than 1k is sheer waste of hard earned money and oil. You can use it without a problem, but make sure you stay away from it next time.

                      Cheers!

                        The 300V is not JASO MA/MA2 certified i.e not certified for extended use in Unit Construction Engines. It is a racing oil and only meant to last a limited number of hours/laps.

                        You'd be better off scrapping it and going for a 3100 or something as such which is recommended for use on your motorcycle as per the Owners Manual.

                                15w50 is easily available with 5100, 7100 grades. You just need to search for it, or you can get it from online. I am using the 15w50 7100 15w50 grade for as long as I can remember.
