First service
Hello everyone. I have clocked 600 kms on my duke till now. Now planning for the first service of my bike. Has anyone of you got their dukes serviced in either Delhi or noida ? What was your experience like? what were the costs incurred?
facing some issues of my own. getting a humming resonance type of sound from the front when i am at about 5k rpm. also the chain seems to be loose. i get a khat sound on small bumps. also chain makes a hissing noise in 5th and 6th gears.
can never see the coolant level from the indicator. coolant level has also dropped very much.
what is with the lingering smell of petrol after every top up? something smells funny here.
i was never able to get more than 45 kmpl on my display no matter what way i rode.
help, anyone?Comment

brake shoe hugging on to the tire??? interesting theory
On a serious note, it is normal. Engine braking on the Duke is more than what we are used to on other Indian bikes. It's mostly due to the high-compression, short-stroke nature of the engine.
Regarding the brakes, it is normal for the brake pads to lightly touch the discs during run-in. (Probably later too, but I'm not sure about that)I like 'em Naked
Blah Blah Blah!
Reason is not automatic. Those who choose not to recognise it, can't be conquered by it.

Thanks Nikhil... I am just waiting to get the first service done.. The ODO still reads 380+ only.. so have to do some serious mile crunching this weekend... I am getting used to the steep deceleration however a friend thought that it wasn't smooth when we don't accelerate.. so he kind off was concerned... Will ask the ASC guys over the weekend...Originally posted by NikhilB View Post@sivigshankar

Awesome indeed. It feels like you could do that a few times again and still not get tired of it.Originally posted by sharingan View Post
BTW, anyone know of such a road in and around Delhi/NCR?Comment

I would like to give you guys a sneak preview of an anti theft alarm I am working on. My Duke is perhaps the only Bluetooth enabled bike in the country. Would you buy it if I sold it to you? : Duke Bluetooth Security Alarm Test 1 - YouTubeComment

Add me to the Buyers list.
I will post the details when it is complete. No change to the wiring is necessary, ive designed it to plug into the connector left in the bike for its original alarm. The Apk isnt ready either. at the moment it used a free app called blue scripts.Comment

For how long do you ride generally? For any engine to run optimally, it needs to be at a particular temperature. In the morning, It takes about 4-5 Kms of ride to attain a temperature & then it gives mileage of > 40 kmpl (indicated).Originally posted by ikhan View PostHero Honda Karizma

bluetooth alarm
Great job.. I'd be interested in buying as well.Originally posted by spiralbrain View Post
However, I doubt over what range it would work. Bluetooth devices usally have a small range of around 10-15 meters.

If somehow you could get it working over the mobile networks as well it would be terrific...Live to ride.. ride to forget..
