220 for top up? Your bike burnt off 300ml oil between services?

1st service is done on my rtr200 and it has just completed 1500kms and both front shockers are leaking oil. Is this repair come under warranty? What parts come under warranty, like handle coneset, piston-rings, rear shocker etc? just asking because i am now concerned about the bike's quality.

Hi Everyone,

About me:
I know few little things about mechanic and I try my level best to understand them more.
I am following this thread from 2017, and today finally writing as I would like to clear some of points which I am feel.

Few things about me and my bike:
- I own RTR 200 (RED Matt) from Apr 17, till date. I really love this bike and this is one of the best which I have owned till date.
- I am city rider, on week ends go for small trips
- Total Odo (till date) is 28K
- I maintain my bike properly, every service is on time, from TVS SVC only (have AMC)
- Engine oil which I am using Motul 300 V (10w40)
- Every single thing in my is stock (no mods) apart from clutch (I got slipper clutch installed- from TVS SVC only)
- Getting mileage of 37Kmpl

Topic which I wanted to know about is Gear sensor:
* This has been really a pain. Till this date, TVS has replaced 4 gear sensors and multiple time clean/refix has been done, but again, it is same. Issue reoccurs after 500+ KMs. They provided different gen of modified parts, sometime from plant or sometime from R&D Team.

Can any suggest me on this as I am really confused about gear sensor. What should I do about this.

Please suggest.

- Please forgive me for mistakes (if any), this is my first time writing on any forums.

For some reasons, My bike didn't come into reserve last time. Usually, it comes around 325-335kms with full tank. This time, odo shows 351kms and no reserve. When I refuelled, It took 11.3ltrs of petrol No Trip F indication also. I doubled checked the fuel switch and it was on main not on reserve.

Anyone faced same issue or know about the cause? Bike completed 6250km.

Also, during Heavy Traffic, the clutch release on 2nd or 1st gear gives 'kat kat' sound. Any idea about this?


Anybody has done ceramic coating or 9H coating in Bangalore? Is it worth?

It's because of un-informed people that asc's survive and prosper.

Does anyone know what's up with the mandatory ABS rule ? How TVS can sale RTR 200 FI without ABS ?

Can you please explain me in decoding the VIN.

Hi guys,

Quick update about my ownership: Done around 2800kms now, going for second service this weekend. Did a small 500 kms ride last week! Bike performance was awesome! I have couple of very minor concerns.

I have a slight squeaking sound coming from the rear, I can notice it only in crawling speed like 10-15kmph, not sure if it's from the brakes or suspension or what, but it's kind of annoying. Any idea what it is?

Also i use gear oil for chain lube and i have oil dripping from my side stand all the time, am I overdoing it or is this because of gear oil? It almost makes the rear wheel messy! Thinking I'll just go with chain lube cans, are they any better?

Any other things I should check during second service?

Hi Akash, sure I'll get a good jet wash. Also I don't think it's from the chain. Probably just dust in brakes or maybe suspension, not really sure though. I believe I'm actually overdoing chain maintenance and there's always oil dripping wherever I park my vehicle. There's no dust in the sprocket whatsoever. I have 80w90 oil now, I'll switch to w140 next time.

Get the bike washed especially nicely on the rear suspension area. That's most likely the cause. Or the chain has gathered dust which might be another area of squeaky sound.

I switched from chain lube spray to gear oil. Got 140 grade oil and it has never been so sweet ever. No dripping, chain remains well lubed and just the nice whizz at decent speeds.
