      The time period still matters, even though it has been mathematically eliminated

      If it is instantaneous,
      will it show 0 if I rev it on neutral for a couple of minutes?
      also, will it show infinity if I drag the bike with my feet (on neutral, ingnition on but engine off)?

      EDIT: I do not intend to argue. It is just to highlight that we should not read too much into the console figures and wait for some full-tank to full-tank readings.
      Well, mileage figures are not questionable. Most of the new bikes are treated with proper care for initial few kms. This method used to calculate mileage has certain limitations, but it's wrong to say digital console is guessing mileage. Most modern age cars use this method to indicate either mileage/distance to empty, that figure may not be 100% accurate, but if you continue with same driving style/driving conditions.. then that figure is spot on (observed this with rental cars I drove).

      These guys may not get the same mileage through out the life of bike, but it's safe to assume that 30kmpl is easily achievable even with spirited riding.

        You got me wrong.

        I meant to say that I (personally speaking) wouldn't rely on instantaneous figures (simply because I can "instantaneously" run at 50kmph, with a small enough instance).

        Again, I'm not saying the console is spitting out bull crap. Just that it may not be representative of a true average FE.

        Peace.

        PS: How about we move on by dicussing more about the bike and less about this figure? (Disclaimer: Personal opinion only)

              and the question remains why do i race?

                • Owners - Is the meter connected to front wheel or rear wheel?

                    • Hey guys,
                      I want to put a high decibel horn on my Duke. This would most probably be a double horn and i might have to use a harness. Will it by any chance conflict with the warranty terms of the electrical's?

                        isn't duke's horn a dual one?

                          Let me help you out here ;-)

                          I am from chennai and I booked my duke 200 at adayar KTM probiking on Feb 24th 2012 (that's exactly a week ago). I was told that it would take a minimum of 50 days for me and also if you delay in booking the days might just add up...

                          So the max waiting time is 90 days... so keep your fingers crossed...

                          i ll be getting my duke before ya ;-) ;-)

                              By all chance your warranty will be VOID!

                              NO it is not dual. Its a feeble single horn! Remember Roadrunner beep? The same!

                                may i know what meter could be connected to the rear wheel? though I know your ego will not allow you to reciprocate my gesture of reconciliation.
