Dear Xbhpians!!!
I am an owner of KTM DUKE200 of the first lot released in hyderabad bought it 26th feb 2012.Since the Inception of the bike i was facing niggling issues like poor handling of bike at high speeds exceeding 90kmph which induced violent wobbling of handle bar and after 2weeks i bought the bike there was terrible metal knocking noise in engine on regular follow up with service person the issue rectified after 4months following which during the process the engine note was lost and the bike didnt have the zing of rest of dukes the performance went down for which again after dragging behind showroom for 4months Cylinder head was replaced in due process for which it was fine for 3months and now the whole bike sounds different its lost the throaty exhaust note and performance,it is now unable to clock 130kmph top speed as claimed by manufacturer.It leaks engine oil from head gasket since primary engine work is done when bike was new,service people are loaded with thier excuses for not replacing head gasket for past one year!!! On event of first anniversary of my bike i am very saddened with its pityful state where malfunction lite blinks up if i wash it and the engine sounds as if half of its internals are on the verge of collapsing with hopeless performance.I would be glad if some on can help me out solving issues of my bike as I HAVE COMPLETELY LOST MY HOPES ON KTM-BAJAJ SERVICE AND ALL THE BIG HEADS OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO FAILED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNED ISSUES IF NOT SOLVED BY THEIR REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER TO BE PERFORMED BY THEIR ENGINEERS.I would be glad if some of the senior members/fellow xbhpians can help me out with this.
