    Do not worry .

    I too faced this and almost all bikes having digital console may show some error in reading IMO (have seen at least 4-5 bikes- indian, Japanese ).

    The fuel one happens with me when I lean the bike or hard brake or crossed any bigger speed breaker. You will have better idea of fuel in bike after few months of driving as you will get to know the behavior.

    That said , it won't get better with time I guess as this is not mechanical equipment and it won't get smooth or perfect later like engine or gears setup .

    But if you feel there is too much of error , get it checked .

    Good day .
    Do Rev your heart in out or on treadmill After revving you bike's engine.A free flowing and high revving heart will give more happy miles too :)

      Guys, looks like the fuel gauge in my RTR 200 is a bit erroneous. Sometimes it changes at will. For example, today while coming from office I started with 1 bar but after about 15-20 minutes, it started showing 2 bars (no, i did not refuel it). This has happened earlier too from 2 bars to 3 bars and then after about 40 minutes of ride down to 1 bar.

      I had put in Rs. 500 worth of petrol just once after purchase and now the odo reads 188 kms. When I took the delivery it read 3.3 kms. Still have not used the reserve oil.

      Is there anything to worry about or will it get better with time?
      Its Not Erroneous ,the fuel gauge calibrates the fuel based on the usage and ride condition, for example on the traffic the fuel consumed is more and on high way or free flowing traffic the fuel consumption is less. The fuel is calibrated assuming you ride on traffic so it displays lesser at start and while on travelling based on the road traffic it readjusts itself after some time. If your on a long ride on highways it will display accurately.

        Does the RTR-200 display show instantaneous mileage and range in KM for this bike?

          No it doesn't show the mileage,only the fuel indication is displayed and it works the same way as other digital fuel indicator does.

            Waiting for ABS version since 3 months .

            Today i had a conversation with the one the main Dealer(got it from TVS Customer care(they too don't know anything about release date)) in Bangalore, he said that ABS version of both Carb and FI versions would take another 6 Months more to hit into the showrooms,but i told him that i saw in few of the articles saying that ABS versions are going to roll out in Septmeber End.
            But then he said that Bike has actually released in Jan of 2016 but rolled out in main cities in April month but how did you believe that it would be available all of a sudden in September?!! well i don't have a word to say except smiling.

            Any body waiting like me,,..?

              Me...Me!! That being said one of the reasons the bike got delayed is that TVS was exporting the Fi versions to other countries (not sure of the ABS thing). So if the production of these variants is already in full swing then its a simple matter of them allocating bikes to Indian market. Moreover, I would almost always never believe a word of what a dealer says no matter if he is a main dealer or not.

              Also look at post 379 in this thread where someone has asked TVS about the ABS version and they have hinted to wait till September for it (they have not emphatically declared it).

                Same here..waiting for the Abs + Fi version. Got a call from the main dealer of tvs (I took a test driver from that dealer few days back) about my plans to book the bike. I told him categorically that I'm not looking at carb variant. Then a strange thing happened. He told me he'll call me once abs variant is available. Now this can mean two things. Either that was just a courtesy to end the conversation. Or they are aware of the launch dates and expected arrival of stock at their dealership..

                        Also make sure the bike has its toolkit and other accessories fitted which are supposed to be fitted before taking delivery.
