oh ok....hey thanx for the confirmation dude...guess my frns played a prank on me o something...well i guess its payback time ... sorry for the wrong info !!

I guess Venkat comprehensively answered your question on FB. Do you still need any clarification?

Perfectly explained!! And a couple of Dukers refused to believe me when I did tell them there is a small click and CLICK between 5 and 6 and vice versa!

I guess a couple of others have asked "which place is this" and everybody has just said "some shop in koramangala" Is the shop address some super secret?

Not at all shubz! It is already mentioned in one of the posts! Hi creative sticker shop! A guy named Hafeez! 7 th block 1 st cross behind bosch!

Thank you bro. I may have missed that. My apologies for the same. Does he even do the "KTM" on the rim?

Dude! Chill! The duke though a four stroke is much like two stroker!
Here s what you have to do when u downshift blip the throttle just a bit and then shift down! When you up shifting, "You Pep it You change the gear" There is a point when you are about to apply throttle at that point shift up you will have the smoothest up shift! Comes with a bit of practice just keep trying!

Yes he does that as well!

Swaroop.. I have done 250 odd kms on the duke in the last 4 days... The following is my shift pattern:

1st to 2nd Gear: 10 kmph : 4-5k RPM ( I don't redline at 5k RPM in first)
2nd to 3rd Gear: 20 kmph : 4-5k RPM
3rd to 4th Gear: 30 kmph : 4-5k RPM
4th to 5th Gear: 40kmph : 4-5k RPM
5th to 6th Gear: 50kmph : 5 - 6k RPM

I don't redline on most situations, however sometime out of frustrations of getting packed in a traffice I might rev it hard and redline in 2nd or 3rd Gear... I try not to cross 60, but everyone knows how hard it is not to..
Temptation..temptation..temptation

I hope this gear shift pattern is optimal, or should I push the bike more ?

Tank fill to tank fill got 38.38 km / ltr ( 200kms with 5.21 liters of xTra Premium).. out of that 200 kms, 160 were driven in congested chennai city traffic...The Mileage shown on the ODO was 37 though ( never thought this calculation of the ODO will be so accurate.. will have to re-check when I fill the tank the next time..)

Shubz, whats the link to the FB page ? This is the Bajaj KTM Duke 200 official page, I came across ( https://www.facebook.com/#!/BajajKtmduke ) Would appreciate if you can share it, Thanks.

Today at the showroom, enquired about the coolant spill. Service person explained the same what the members have explained a few pages back. They've sent feedback regarding that to the factory he said. I guess nothing much can be done about it other than maintaing the coolant at half level.

Saw this Duke on the service bay. Nice design but the 'KTM' is facing the wrong direction.


Service person was taking photos of the engine parts during the service. They too confirmed Motul 7100 can be used at 1st service.

Saw this paddock inside the showroom. Swing arm supported type without any spools. Easier to fabricate outside. Anyone done one?

Please give me the link to your FB page - I will have you invited to the group.

Or look for India KTM Duke 200 Owners Group

What's the brand and version number of the Coolant for the radiator. I've to pick a Can for self top-up as I reside relatively far from the showroom.

OT: Apologies if it's specified already in the forum, 'tapatalk' app crashes when I use 'search'.

Thanks Shubz.. have sent a request to join the group

On another note: Here's a link to a UK website I found for KTM Power parts
Jim Aim Motorcycles Ltd 125 DUKE

Looks like most of the power parts are a bit expensive

what's the price of the engine cowl?
will the led tank strip be available as powerpart?

So, has anyone tried mounting saddle bags on the Duke?
