Can a sprocket worn out within 8k Kms? I don't think so.

I have noticed in my bike that when the engine is cool, the idle RPM is higher and as a ride and the engine heats up, the idle RPM goes down.

I own a apache rtr 200, finished 19k kilometres.

I am recently facing a few issues with my bike.

First of all, I notice that when I drive through very crowded areas(jam packed traffic) my engine heats up a lot and idle RPM reduces below 1k and if I let go of the throttle the engine stalls in 2-3 seconds.

I have noticed in my bike that when the engine is cool, the idle RPM is higher and as a ride and the engine heats up, the idle RPM goes down.

Sometimes my bike doesn’t start when I put the fuel valve in ON position, even though there is a lot of petrol. When I switch to reserve the engine starts.

Other problems are:

1.There a lot of Vibrations in my bike at 5k+ rpm

2.The digital console Clock resets very often, and during the past 2-3 days it resets every 2-5 minutes while driving. When my bike is running the digital console shuts down for a second and then starts up again just like when we put the key into ignition.


3.The Gear shaft of my bike has gotten very hard, giving me a hard time shifting gears. The real problem arrives when my bike is idle and I want to switch to neutral gear from the 1st gear. No matter how hard a push the gear lever it won’t go into neutral. Sometime I am afraid I might break the gear lever by applying so much force. To switch to neutral I have to set the bike in motion by releasing the clutch a little and then only I can engage neutral. And switching gears while riding on higher rpms give me ‘khat khat’ sound.

4.My AFR screw is jammed. What should I do about this.


Please help me identify the problems why these things are occurring and how do I solve them

1.There a lot of Vibrations in my bike at 5k+ rpm

Michelin PSR(Pilot Street Radial) 130/70
RevZ S 130/70 - 60% the cost of PSR, 90% of the performance, 150% value for money.

That's a symptom of running rich, reset AFR to factory setting if you feel that the ASC might've messed with it, you can confirm the same by inspecting spark plug.

But before all I presume you've been using commonsense and changing consumables judiciously because unless that's the case your tuning would not go off just like that unless fiddled with.

It's just marketing gimmicks ,I hope so. Anyhow the recommended grade may be 10w30 but I am sure 20w50 won't create any hazzle buddy.


I've finished 1000+ Kms as of now and I didn't find any problems still now.

(P.S) Apart from the mentioned Grade other grades 10w30, 40,50 will also works fine but somehow I've choosen this let's see,how far it goes.

Can happen if running rich.



Use a multimeter and check the electricals but first check the fuses, if all is in order and issue persists then check the ignition switch connector.



This is called a constant mesh transmission for a reason, since its cassette type the rear wheel would have to be in motion for the shifts to happen smoothly, hence why you need to at least roll the motorcycle/ release clutch a bit to shift to neutral.

By applying undue force on the shifter lever you're just prematurely wearing down components, if you manage to bend the shifter fork then your motorcycle would never shift right again unless the shifter fork is replaced and for that you'd have to split the crank case.



Use a penetrative fluid like WD40 or something and then try removing it, if you manage to mess up the AFR cavity then even a new AFR screw wouldn't work well for you, you'd have to replace the carburetor.



A little patience and a bit more of commonsense goes a long way when it comes to motorcycles.

Well you could.drill the screw and weld it out from its place

Well ,how does the MRF overperforms the Michelin ?

You still risk scoring the cavity.

There probably won't be any short term problems. It's more to do with long term ownership. If planning to keep for more than a few years, check again. If not planning to keep it, ride on, but let the 2nd buyer know what has been done.

Can we use cutting oil to clean the chain in rtr 200? btw do rtr 200 has o ring chain?
