Even I feel service guys messed up something. Also now there's rattling noise from the front while revving the engine, I'm guessing from the headlight assembly. I really don't want to take it to service centre anymore. Anybody here from Mangalore? Who knows any good mechs around?

From the last couple of months I am getting a weird noise from silence intermittently. Like the noise we hear from auto silencers. Not sure what is the issue. I have done around 19.5K Kms. Bike is regularly serviced. Any idea what it is and how to resolve?

I'm pretty sure this is just because of the improper service. Escalate your issue to TVS that you are having issues post service.
They might have left the screws loose and might tinkered with carb settings.

The bike was designed to withstand triple digit speeds for long time. I kept my bike between 90-100 for 5-6 hours continuously, the bike was butter smooth.
If you want to take it to your SVC first to register your disappointment and then let them know you're going to escalate the issue to TVS, you can do it.
TVS have a tight grip in their post sales service quality, and rating for their service.
So the SVC will hurry back to your issues.

Hi guys, I've done around 1000kms now. Vibes are a lot more than expected. There's buzzing at tank, handlebar and even pegs while cruising at 80kmph. This is kind of annoying when going for long rides. I feel the bike was smoother before and became a bit rough after service. Also I don't think my carb is tuned right, this might be the culprit. There's cold start problem and idle rpm fluctuates while starting in the morning. I'm sure my bike can do better and I don't even know any good mecs around. Is it just carb? Should I try tuning it myself? I've watched videos on YouTube but never did it before.

Thank you! Will try them next time.

By the way, How much Kms you did ? And share any of your sweet memories with RTR 200

Thank you! Will try them next time.

@Arunachalam @ayrus ,yup !!

As said earlier I got my bike done servied and all I would say is it's PERFECT !! Not actually exaggerating , they must have got the prompt name too : It's BRILLIANT TVS !

People are responsive and the senior mechanic was pleasing . Definitely I would recommend this ASC for fellow riders who reside nearby Tambaram circle. (CHENNAI).

MY BILLED AMOUNT WAS AROUND 500 ONLY .
INCLUDING NEW AIR FILTER & SPARK PLUG .

LOL ! Who the hell is that mechanic ?


Firstly the thing about FS Oil is that it contains more synthetic molecules than any other engine oils andso they're priced high. Usage of FS oil reduces wear and tear of the engine parts and ensures better engine life. I doesn't mean that SS or mineral oil are not capable. They also have that tendency but not as much as FS oil !



Edit :**Due to this reason ,it's mandatory to use FS oils in bigger engines! Probably bikes above 200 cc .


Coming to the point ! As you've mentioned that you're riding only less number of Kms monthly hence you can use SS oils on safer side. It's better to change it every 2500-3000 Kms .(Based on usage)

And the chain dragging sound in the initial gears might be arise if :

1. Chain is dry/Dirty
2. chain is loose
3. Improper slackness

HOPE THIS HELPS !!

LOGI.

My engine oil levels are dropping ..when I last changed my oil the mechanic told me that less oil drained and now 1600 kms later 600 ml dropped .The svc guy says it's a block issue and the entire block with packing ,rokers(not sure if I'm spelling it right) and clutch setting and housing will have to be changed with a cost of 15k+ ..The bike is 28 months old running on stock clutch plates and done 61,300 kms till now ..I'm.confused if I need to incur such a high cost or is it just the piston rings worn out? The bike isn't emmiting any black.or white smoke though

Hello all,

A query regarding the oil be used in RTR200.

I gave my bike for first service and my bill was around ₹500 only.

But, here most people are telling above ₹700.

So I enquired what oil did he use.

Unfortunately it is TRU 4 Semi synthetic one with red color bottle.

Does it affect the bike in any means, since manual says to use only Fully synthetic ?

I have to admit that, my monthly ride will be lesser and I gave my bike for service with just 300 kms on ODO.
(This is due to non availability of proper parking space at my work location. I’m using public transport for 40kms up and down)

When I questioned him, he says if we use synthetic oil, the engine should run some decent number of kms else it will affect the parts and using synthetic is of no use then. So he says to go with semi synthetic one. However I think the grade is same (10W30).

Won’t this cause troubles to the engine ?

But, I can’t see any major change in performance and all.

Also, 2nd and 3rd gear makes some sound (Like Tannnggg) while upshifting but 4th and 5th are crisp and smooth. Is this an issue with the riding habit ? Or due to low rpm gear changes ?

The sound is kind of metal brushing on metal.
