    Mine too! It's scary when the tyres start tramlining and following longitudinal tracks in the asphalt. For my bike, it happens at both ends, even though the rear is a relatively new CEAT Zoom XL. I regularly get the wheel bearings checked, so it's not like the wheels are loose.

    Is the RevZ S available as a front 100/80-17? The MRF website only mentions the 130/70-17 for the R15 V2.0 rear.

    Has upsizing to 110/70-17 affected the handling of the bike? I've always felt that the AS200 is a very unwieldy, slow-handling bike to begin with!
    You can go for the 110/70 r17 , I am using the Michelin pilot Street radial 110/70 for 1200 kms now and it is superb .. control feels way better that the eurogrip.
    One more option is there with MRF revs- fc1 which is present in Duke 200..
    Cost of Michelin Street radial is 5000 at the showroom and revs fc-1 is 3600rs
    I would say go for the Michelin it is way better and safe in Indian road conditions specially when we do not have abs in the bike..

      That's awesome! I'm only concerned about manoeuvrability - the AS200 is already a slow handler, so the front end shouldn't feel even more cumbersome than it already is

        Had been on a solo ride from Mangalore to Goa and back. Bike performed well. No niggles whatsoever. Had given it for servicing a day prior to the ride and after this service, I'm getting 35-38kmpl! Don't know what the guys did but I'm amazed with the way the bike rides now. The last 5 visits to the SVC had me fuming due to the incompetency of the mechanics, but this time, I'm truly impressed!

        BTW, did the 350-kilometer ride from Mangalore to Margao in a little under 8 hours and the return ride in 7 hours. Max speed hit was 125.

              You can visit the KTM Bajaj Kawasaki service center at monotype near banashankari.
              All the mechanics are very well trained and also very well behaved..They will tell you the actual problem too..

                Sounds like a superb ride... Mangalore-Madgao in 7-8 hours is seriously quick!

                How's the Ankola-Kumta-Honnavar stretch? I'd heard that roadworks were on last year. I plan to ride down to Jog Falls/Kudremukh/Agumbe from Goa in March, if I can jugaad a half-decent bike.

                    All thanks to the roads, which are good for the most part.
                    Ankola-Kumta-Honnavar is a mix of good and average roads. Wouldn't rate any of the roads in this stretch as bad, since I didn't encounter any potholes.

                        Dear AS 200 Owners,
                        A small information required from AS200 owners. Could you guys post speed [MENTION=21579]RPM[/MENTION] on 6th gear with respective ODO readings.
                        E.g.: 6th Gear 4K RPM - SPEED
                        6th Gear 7K RPM - SPEED

                        On normal driving condition. I just trying to find something. I would appreciate the help.

                        Thank you.

                        Ride Safe !

                          If you guys felt AS200 slow to change directions, then bigger 110 section front tyre would make it even worse, i think.

                            There is something weird about the handling of this bike from the beginning. The straight line and taking curves in motion is just great with bike but city riding and riding on low speed takes efforts. I have done everything possible to get the handling right. My last resort would be to change the euroslips !

                              People don't believe us when we talk about such speeds with our bikes. I find it very easy ripping it till 130 without redlining. The max I've taken it till date was 142! on the speedo. Tried ripping the Duke 200 and was scared after 120km/hr.

                              An awesome bike we have

                              It is fun though squeezing through traffic, then zooming past everyone at the green light. I do find it difficult manoeuvering through traffic with a pillion but surprisingly when I ride alone it's very flickable

                                Hey there! Can you post a picture of your bike with the Meteor on? Ive thinking of changing to the same! Just curious!
