The color changing to purple is normal but mine was defective at the time of delivery itself so they agreed to get that replaced.Originally posted by devil_rider View PostDude, i was at the Ghatkopar SVC on wednesday.. There were three guys who brought their KTM's for service.. I saw one exhaust which had turned purplish on colour..

You can use either oil as long as the grade is 20W50.Originally posted by scbra View Post
300V 4T Factory Line 15W50 is double ester technology. This is 15W50
7100 4T 20W50: 100% synthetic lubricant based on Ester Technology.
At the DIY session they mentioned 7100 4T or Bajaj DTSi. I would stick to that or whatever is mentioned in the user manual (I am yet to get my duke so cannot quote the manual).30+ YEARS OF RIDING

Color changing of chrome parts due to heating is normal, take a look at the image attached, same happened to a plated screwdriver when I tried to reshape it using a grinder.Last edited by spiralbrain; 04-21-2012, 01:22 PM.Comment

Discoloration is a big problem for any chromed exhaust. Since many Harley riders in the US prefer to have spotless chrome on their bikes, a number of manufacturers have come out with metal polishes specifically designed to remove discoloration from exhaust systems. Google "motorcycle exhaust polish" for some ideas. One product that is mentioned frequently is "Bluejob". Also, as noted, the discoloration is caused by high heat. This is often the result of a very lean fuel mixture. It might be worth bugging the shop to see if they'll remap the fuel injector for a slightly richer mixture.Originally posted by NiXTriX View PostATGATT: All The Gear, All The Time!

Got my Duke today. Yay!
One thing I've noticed is that engine heats up very easily. Does this get better after the engine sets in or do I have to live with it forever?

This is the best mileage figure (56 kmpl) displayed on my KTM thus far during a ride from Bangalore to Hosur and back again on Saturday. Have done about 800 km on the bike so far. This is only the second time ever I have landed a 56. However, I am aware the mileage display is not very accurate.Comment

Initially during the run in period, engine WILL heat up considerably, after which slowly you will notice it become less and become normal, but yes, it will heat up more compared to regular bikes, so be prepared.Originally posted by drrajsodhi View Post30+ YEARS OF RIDING

That's a relief. Phew!Originally posted by Janesh.J View Post
I was worried sick, considering the total ride was only for about 10kms from the point of delivery.
And the gear downshift is a bit stiff too.
There were a lots of questions about the bike being "phoren" @ the gas station.
Can't wait for the end of run in period.

Dont worry about heating.It will heat up for sure if you are in traffic and as someone else said you will slowly learn to live with it.
And the questions people ask , make you laugh.Once a paaaaji quoted "2 can be accomodated somehow but not for 3".
Safety doesn't happen by accident.....ride safe ride longer
