    Is there any aftermarket brake pads available for rtr 200 that are better than the stock ones?

      My first ride experience about 2.0. I had no other choice than running my new machine for long distance well really not that long to move it so I can use it for commuting to my work place. I did a total of 222 Kms, my bike is still under the run in period, so kept the speed between 50 to 60 kmph and rpm around 4k, occasionally went to 70kmph purely for overtaking. All of the ride was on NH45, the roads were butter smooth and the bike was absolutely confident inspiring.
      Initially my butts were discomfort able, after munching some kilometres, my butt got accustomed. I didn't have a check on the mileage. Once I refuel from zero, I will check it. I used my newly bought MT mugello helmets for this ride, early used to wear a normal helmet, sure the helmet is lot better, the ventilation was good, wish the view angle is a little more.
      The slipper clutch on 2.0 is an absolute pleasure to ride in city conditions, reducing the gears is breeze in heavy traffic and it doesn't break a sweat, 5 to 1 in no time.
      The engine and throttle response stands to the words RTR, its not a hooligan power but gives enough power to make a quick head start in signals, upshifts are quick too, I didn't face any false neutral or wrong gear indication so far.
      I have read somewhere on the thread that the side stand was too low on the previous generation, I guess it has been taken care with this generation, it's quite high. The windscreen or imitation of wind screen on the machine had done some decent job. That's all folks.

        Solved my own problem, got CNC mirrors from Ali Express. They look much better, have to see if visibility is comparable. Here is a comparison

            What about the view angles. Is it usable?

              Hey guys!! Got a few updates about the rtr200 2.0 abs version...

              In Bangalore most of the dealers are accepting booking and telling the bike can be delivered by a month's time. Some say wait for 15-20 days and we will have more information about it.

              However, there are a few dealerships who have told it will take at least 6 months for it to come out. One of the dealer also called the plant manager and said that TVS always released models in stages. And the ABS version is not being manufactured as of now. So they will wait for user feedback of the basic racing edition, then will rollout the pirelli tyre version, then the FI edition and finally the ABS version.

              I'm confused what to do now ! Had the racing edition launched a week later, I would have had the keys to the normal abs version. I thought I'll watch till last week of April. If still there is no news of the racing edition with ABS, I'll buy the old version with ABS. What to you guys suggest?
              Hi, I have booked my All New Apache 200 4V Race Edition with ABS version at The Kubera TVS, Bengaluru a week back, I have inquired at lot of dealers around Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, Hosur (TN) also Bangalore (KA)

              Every dealer told me there is no clue about the 2.0 ABS version availability, few Main Dealers in Bengaluru have promised can deliver the Old Apache 200 white color with ABS version in 2 - 3 days.

              One of my friend had waited for Old ABS version and got the first bike delivered from a Main Dealer in HSR layout "KUBERA TVS" the Manager had committed to my friend that he would deliver on Feb 25th, as he promised he did.

              That is the reason I also checked with the same dealer and made booking the first RE 2.0 ABS version (Matte Black) with the booking amount of INR 5,000/- He committed me that he would deliver the bike by April 10th, 2018, but the color availability info is not heard yet, so he told he will tell the available colors by this month end (May be by 30th March)

              I trust his words, but in case if it gets delayed further, I would opt for the Old Apache white ABS version!

                So there are 3 pivot points, one at mounting bolt for back/front of the entire assembly, one next to mounting where the swing arm is for up/down of the arm, and one at the mirror for rotating mirror to face up or down. The left mirror has been set up great and is very good. The right mirror I have to make a little more vertical and it should work better.

                It seems quite usable, I have had only one ride with it. The advantage is that I can carry just one allen key multi-tool and tweak it, don't need a 15mm wrench like older mirror.

                  Anyone know about the fuel sensor error? The console is showing fuel sensor error out of nowhere since today.

                    Carb or Fi model? In carb model if the fuel level goes near dry condition it shows error. For that fill fuel for half tank. The float in the gauge may have stuck.

                      Oh I see, haven't refuelled in 3 days due to month end problems.[emoji23] Will fuel it up and see if the issue goes away.

                        Thank you very much sir, you saved me the trouble of visiting the ASC. Fueled the bike up and the error vanished.

                              Guys need a help, i am not confortable with the bike suspensions. Its making me to pop me out of the seat, when driving through small pit holes / speed breakers etc. What could be the solution for this.

                              Also, i am due for my 6th service, and my left front shocks oil seal is leaking. Does the oil seal replacement cost comes under paid service cost, or as a additional cost. Also the paid service cost is rs 650/-. Is it same across ???.

                              Total bill is rs 1600/-
