    Hello,

    I recently got this hooligan from KTM Vasai...

    I've noticed coolant spills om radiator even during normal riding conditions (Revs 3k-4k each gear). Is this normal?
    Also, I have been through this thread and a mentioned cause was coolant filled upto brim of max level, does this really lead to spill or there is any kind of leak?
    Better ask this in ownership thread.........

              general query.. though I am interested in DUKE but the pillion seat seems to be too small.. I suppose after market seats are not available, is there any way the seat can be made broader.

                More than the width the length is a problem. The width is not too bad and accomodates an adult fine, its the length where things get a little scary.
                Why 2wheels over 4.....
                Its because 'Whatever it is, it's better in the wind!'

                  there are certain updates like changing to gel pads, but usually pillion seat is not good enough to carry one for long rides say 400kms. So just checking out if any alterations can be performed.

                          I'm sure but it wasn't for a long time . It was on a small stretch of downward incline (for a km or so) and i was riding at 3rd gear with minimal acceleration. The usual figures are between 34 to 45 kmpl at highways. But on proper calculation from tank full method I got the mileage to be around 35.

                                The FE shown in the console is not accurate, don't go by it.
                                I am back!
