Rather than visiting the SVC, You can just increase the pressure on both tyres by 2psi and see if the handling gets back to normal.______________________________________

Great stuff from the Duke owners!
Hi guys,
Rajat here. Been slyly following the thread for a couple of weeks, even since I got interested in picking up the Duke 200, but this is my first post.
A lot of us have been quietly just reading the posts, envious of you Duke owners and just trying to get a better understanding of the bike and its performanceJJDelhi Dukers on FacebookComment

hey guys i previously used to ride fz occasionally
and switched to DUKE from honda dio
i find the duke very heavy compared to FZ and not able to push it back sometimes from parking lot
why is it so
even FZ weighs same as DUKE
but why am i feeling difficulty pulling the bike back while i sit on it ?

The riding position in Duke gives u less grip on the ground than fz. I u notice well u can see that we only put our heel on the ground when sitting in dukeOriginally posted by hunkofgals View Posthey guys i previously used to ride fz occasionally

Also guys I really love the "Chrome sticker kit". I m curious. Is it only for the black color variant of the bikes or can they be used on our oranges too. And does KTM have any plan of bringing them here ?Comment

is there any way we can reduce the seat height ?Comment

The Chrome sticker Kit is going to be available in India but it will take a long while just like all the other powerparts that need to be available...you would need to buy the black tank cover and the black rear upper fender to make the chrome kit look good, and also you should change the front fairing to the black one, all very easy to do.Originally posted by sriram90 View Post
Chrome Sticker Kit like the others should be around Rs.4.5-5kSpeed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.Comment

Exhaust chrome peeling
Hey guys I took pictures of an exhaust of the KTM 125 Duke and the KTM 200 DUKE here in Singapore, and they too have the same exhaust header chrome peeling effect we are seeing in India!!!
So its not something that had been overlooked in the Quality Checks from them...its an issue all over the world!!! ...this should prove a strong case to get the exhaust headers replaced soon...
New KTM Grips!!!
Also I picked up the KTM handle Grips for Singapore $45...taht was literally the only thing I wanted to buy coz everything else was just super expensive, being Singapore they apply taxes on EVERYTHING!!!
These are the grips I bought...Last edited by joshzma225; 04-29-2012, 12:43 AM.Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.Comment

How much would the tank cover and fender cost ?Originally posted by joshzma225 View Post

I am not so sure about this explanation, coz I can feel both my feet planted firmly(I am 5'10'') and I too feel it a bit heavy while trying to move it forward and backward by using only hands. Actually I think the Bike has centrally allocated weight distribution(i.e. weight is distributed centrally to give better handling), so we all are finding it a bit tough to move this bike only using hands. Correct me if I am wrong.Originally posted by sriram90 View Post___________________________________________

Not sure whether Duke 350 will come sooner or not. When I tried to enquire them they gave me a hint that it could be the 690 Duke coming soon to us.Originally posted by whytdelight View Post___________________________________________

When I checked with the service guy in Hyderabad, he recommended 300V over 7100... and said that he can arrange it for me too...Originally posted by AnupamOnWheels View PostI'm sure the ASC guyz will think otherwise. From my experiences and stories heard - they love to stick to what is recommended. BTW Motul 300V is better suited for higher displacement high power bikes. For Duke even the 7100 will work absolutely fine without fail.
Though theoritically 15WX is a substitute of 20WX but the ASC guyz surely can delay or reject your claim for warranty if they want. So, don't do that in front of them or by informing them.
In case situation arises and you need to file claim change it to Motul and present the Bike to them.
