I have done 10k kms running on everything stock and motul 7100.
    At what speed you’re getting the stutter feel.

    I usually shift to 2nd gear after 10 Kmph. Each gear will be shifter after every 10 kmph speed. Similarly shifting down. 1st gear up to 10. 2nd upto 20. Like that.

    Check your clutch. Use clutch if you experience stutter feel. Re check your chain.

    Place your bike in ground (sidestand) and check the slack then make sure you have at least 0.5 to 1 inch of slack.

      The Rtr200 needs a bit of revving before upsfhiting. It is not as chuggable as a FZ or gixxer. Its torque is spread throughout the midrange and very little torque is available at low rpms.

      Rev the bike upto 4k rpm every time before upshifting. Use the 1st gear at extreme low speeds. The stuttering sound you mentioned could be the engine lugging. Prolonged lugging can seriously damage your engine, so downshift to the right gear at right speed.

        Bro i always shift around 5k rpm. No problem is there if i pull from relatively higher speed and gently but if i pull from relatively low rpm and open throttle fully there it vibrates for a brief period probably half a second or so. So i don't think it's low rpm stuttering. I tried svcs in kota but they are clueless as usual

          Clutch less downshift totally damages the gearbox. I daily see a lot of guys riding with phone in the left hand, abusing the gearbox by not using the clutch. Clutch less upshifts are OK if performed above 5k rpm.
          No, i have not even tried clutchless shifting.
          However, i have done engine breaking in few emergencies.

            Hi guys,

            Just had a small fall while cornering on my bike. Nothing major, few scratches to me. As for the bike, clutch lever, leg guard and strangely somehow fuel on/off knob is broken. Any inputs about these parts cost would be helpful.

            Thanks

                Could you pls explain more about the stutter. Is it when the clutch is released, or more of a jerk like when chain is loose or sprocket damper is damaged, or it could be even bad fuelling due to poor quality fuel or clogged jets wherein the engine jerks at low rpm and suddenly smoothens out at certain rpm.
                If the chain is tight at certain sections and loose at other, check the lubrication and always tighten the chain according to spec at the tightest section to avoid damage to sprockets. Some tight sections are normal esp in O ring chains but check for chain roller dryness, rusting and stretch. If the stretch is too much, it needs replacement.

                  I had similar issues. In my case it was like 42kmpl to 30kmpl. I retuned carb and adjusted the valve clearance.

                    I need to know if anyone here is having an issue with the rear suspension. It seems too stiff/hard than it was in the initial few months after I bought the bike. I purchased the bike in January 2019 and the bike has run 6700 kms. I did not ride the bike much during the rainy season and, on the first long ride after the rains I felt the suspension to be too stiff on bad roads.

                          You might want to check the tyre pressure if it's same as recommended by TVS.

                            Done already. I keep 25-28 (recommended) for a single rider. I found it to be hard. Later, I changed to 28-32 (which is common standard) and found a little difference. But, now even that feels a little bit hard.

                                Rear mono shock is built by kya-ba suspension. They used pressurised air and oil along with a piston for damping the shock effect. Due to climate and ambient temperature, oil and air density might change and this may resulted in harsh and stiff suspension. Try pumping the suspension before riding. This could heat up the suspension and its internal liquid.
