    Dude, I am having matt red RTR 200 and I am keeping the matt paint as intact as possible by just cleaning the vehicle with a soft cotton fabric. You can use microfibre cloths. I do this dry cleaning every week and do water wash once in a month. Just use a mild detergent in water and use the wet cloth to wipe the bike. This will minimise the scratches from existing dust particles and also clean the body. One thing to note is that, the matt paint will eventually turn somewhat glossy with time. Already the paint became slightly glossy on the both side of the fuel tank due to the placement of the legs but it's minor so no issues but rest of the body paint is still matt like new.
    I do exactly the same thing. Works just fine. I am finding the matt paint job far easier to maintain than gloss (black) which my previous motorcycle had.

      Thank you brother
      I will try to do these things,
      As you said both sides of tank has started or has turned into gloss.
      I saw in some video there can be tank pads for the both sides.
      It's a clear plastic sheet or may thicker transparent rubber sheet.
      Have tried that?

          No bro, I haven't tried tank pads yet. Will consider using them if I find a good quality one. Please let us know or post pictures if you buy one for your machine. Also unlike Bangalore it's hard to find good quality components/accessories for bikes here in Chennai.

          If anyone from Chennai knows a shop where we can find good quality tank pads please let us know the location.

          Thanks in advance and happy riding!

            Yes I will definitely going to find those pads for the tank.
            Cannot say about the quality as for now because I didn't see that in person.
            Regarding availability of those pads
            I think, I may able to find them considering there are two auto parts markets in Delhi, so there are a little chances.
