Re: KTM Duke 200 Ownership Experience

I Agree With You Brother They Have Resolved The Issues Wich Were There On The Older Version Like Radiator Fan Alloy Wheels Wireings Etc.But You Just See The Quality Of Paint Scheme To Wich Are Poor When Compared To The Older Version Dukes.And Rear Break pads,Clutch Cables,Throttle Cables Wich Were Far Better On Older Version.Because My Friend Own A 2016 Model Wich Is An Updated Model Compared To Older Version Dukes.And The Quality Of Engine Parts Are Poor When Compared To 1st Generation KTM Duke200 Where The Engine Is Imported And Assembled In India.

Re: KTM Duke 200 Ownership Experience

Quality of level decreasing? How did you come up with that. Contrary to your opinion I felt the quality has improved with KTMs over the years. How can you forget the wheels that used to go bust when going over potholes, snatchy electronics and panel rattling that affected the old dukes. The new Dukes and RC have none of that and have greatly improved quality levels. Considering I own a 2017 Duke 200 and my friend owns a 2013-14 Duke I have greatly noticed the improved quality on the bikes.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

It's a regular T10 bulb. You can easily get them on Amazon/at local shops.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

actualy i dont own a duke .. i have r15 v3 which comes with a bulb light .i want to change that number plate bulb light with led one same like in duke200 ..

Then i guess i have to search for different led light..
anyway thanks for reply ..

Re: KTM 200 Duke

For what it's worth, it comes as a unit and the LEDs doesn't come as a single piece. There are many a LEDs with numerous alphanumeric names for each with varying sizes and watts, which are far fetched to my wit. Nonetheless, if you have a bust LED, it's advisable to replace the unit as a whole. You can though remove the PCB and de-solder the LED, if that's possible, needs finesse in soldering and what not.

Guys anyone know ..what led light is used in duke200 number plate light?

KTM Duke 200 Ownership Experience

Hello Friends,
I Have Been Using Yamaha FZ16 Untill I Own A KTM Duke200.I Bought The Duke 200 In March 2018 And It's Been 8Months Of Owning The Bike And it Ran About 12000kms On My Hands. So I Thought Off Writing A Review About My Motorcycle.

* Why I Bought Duke200?
My Usage Was Most Of City Runs And Weekend Long Rides,And Also Touring.So I Was In Search Of A Motorcycle Wich Is More Reliable And Wich Can Do What Ever I Expect From A Motorcycle Or Wich Is Best Suited For My Commuting.So The Duke200 Have Good Fuel Efficiency As Well As Power Wich Is More Than Enough For My Locality Road Conditions And It Was More Reliable When Compared To Other Bikes In The Segment(According To Me).So I Bought The Duke200 Wich Was Well Suited For My Usage.

* Charecter Of The Duke200
KTM Duke 200 Is The Bike Wich Is Made For The Youngsters Wich Behaves Like A Warm Blooded Youngster.With It's Agressive Nature Of Powerdelivery And Also It Has Good Fuel Efficiency For The Power It Has On Offer.And It's Not Much Comfortable For Touring But You Can Do Touring On This Motorcycle, It's Comfortable When Compared To RC200.

*Where The Duke200 Feels Better
Duke200 Rides Better In The Corners Where You Can Carry More Speed Throughout The Corner With Better Lean Angle,And The Mid-range Is Strong Part In it's Power Delivery Where You Can Cruise Easily At 80-100kmph On Highway With Better Fuel Efficiency Of 38-40kmpl.But It Lacks The Topend Performance Due to the Revlimiter Wich Kicks In At 10k Rpm.

*Quality &Relablity
When Compared To The Older Version Dukes The New Version Doesn't Has Good Quality Of Parts And The Paint Scheme Is Not Bright As The Older Version Dukes The Quality Of The Parts Goes Decreasing Year By Year.And The Bike Is More Reliable When Compared to Other Motorcycles In The Market.KTM Has Good Service Network And Also They Assist You In Case Of Any Problems.

*Maintenance
People Believe Or Not The Maintenance Cost Of The Duke200 Is Cheaper Now Even Though It Is A Performance Motorcycle And Not An Indian Brand.But The Bajaj Made The Spares Are Soo Cheaper When Compared To Honda,Yamaha,Suzuki Etc Wich Are Not An Indian Brand.The Regular Service By Changing The Engine Oil And Periodic Kit Cost Just About 2.5k Wich Comes For Every 7500kms.Where You Don't Even Have To Go To Service Center So Quickly Due To The Long Service Interval.And The Wear&Tear Spare Are Also Cheaper.But if You Maintain Your Motorcycle Periodically By Cleaning And Checking It Daily Your Bikes Parts Will Last Longer Like Chain Sprockets Break pads Oilseal's Etc.Wich Will Last Longer If You Maintain Your Motorcycle Properly By Washing And Cleaning Each And Every Parts.

*After Sales Service
The Service Centers Of KTM Showroom Has Good Standards Where You Can Feel Of Purchasing A Premium And Also They Offer Many Schemes Like Orenge Assist,Orenge Rides,Orenge Day Etc.And Also Service Centers Are equipped With Well Trained Mechanic's And Well Equipped Instrument's
But In Some Of The Service Centers The Workers Don't Work Properly,I Don't Know Why? And in most Of The Cities KTM Service Centers Available.

*My Verdict
These Are The Experience Wich I Faced After Purchasing The Motorcycle I The Opinion Might Be Different Of Others.But I Am Happy And Well Satisfied With What I Have Purchased.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hey Ram! Long time. Well, what I meant by engagement was the friction point after the play where one actually starts to feel the clutch, engagement as you've pointed.

Cheers!

Re: KTM 200 Duke

A small correction there in your explanation. The clutch is actually engaged when the lever is in open position. So, it's the other way around when you press it.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

How well is your clutch lever free play? Check your clutch free play. Clutch play is nothing but the free lever play before the clutch actually starts to engage. Too high or too low and you stall the engine. Get your clutch lever free play checked and adjusted, and observe if it makes any difference. Do keep your observations posted.

Cheers!

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Will check on the above.Thanks

Re: KTM 200 Duke

how did they increase the idle ? there isn't an idle adjustment screw on the ktm iirc.
get the tb cleaned.. followed by a fuel pump pressure test, and maybe clean out the tank and the fuel filter inside the tank(its a small white sock kinda thingy attached to the pump.)
you could also maybe swap the tps/ics (throttle position sensor, idle control steeper motor) on the tb from another bike and check.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Thanks for the input!! I was disappointed with the KTM service here in bangalore ,so ive been giving the bike for service outside KTM(from 30k)onwards,"Joe's garage" to be precise.
Regarding the questions:
No warnings have been shown
Riding style is the same.(Issue comes up in speed less than 30kmph)
Shuts down abruptly.
Fuel filter and spark plug was changed in 39k service.Had the same shut down problem before the service.,they simply increased the idle and the issue was solved.But again the issue has shown up!!

Regards,
Febin

Re: KTM 200 Duke

42k km ,nice!
do you see a warning on the console for the side stand when this happens ?
have you changed your riding style, especially when slowing down ? Like shutting the throttle abruptly while slowing down ?
any other symptoms before/when it shuts down ?
when was the last time you replaced the fuel filter and spark plug ?

get the fuel pump pressure tested and run a diagnostics scan using their scan tool.
you could also have the throttle body cleaned (Careful, don't fall for the 'saar we have to change the throttle body') and plonking in a new fuel filter with maybe a spark plug(if current one is over 14k km old)
