          As anticipated, Inder was expressionless as he could not express Joy, Excitement, Frustration (of the long wait) and Enthusiasm together.

          Happy Biking Paaji!!
          Thank you for posting sirji
          & thanks for all the support

            • I drove my friends Duke. He got it on March 1st. One of 4 from the first allotment in kerala.
              And my expression after driving? Lets just say I cant get my grin off my face
              The power is just crazy. Even in 4th the pillion rider will fall back. And the rear tire, missing grooves in my opinion, is huge
              Curse you ktm, inching a lil more than the fz.
              And the quoted mileage is what 35? My friends getting an average of 49! Hasn't driven past 70 km/h, waiting for set it. But still, thats way too high.

              • Hmmm getting some realistic mileage figures now, 26kmpl

                And as i quoted about the "throttle lag" in my previous post, I request Duke owners to ride the Duke in top gears 5th and 6th, suddenly come to a halt at a hump or some pothole, change the gear to 2nd and try to accelrate away suddenly...theres a lag in the throttle response in my bike...

                Plz confirm if its the same in yours...

                  Nice to meet You


                  The Chennai PBK was flooded with dukes, as Shubz stated the play in the foot pegs I checked a couple of bikes and all of them had the play. So, putting a washer will fix it, I guess.

                    Regarding the Throttle lag, its precisely the same that I experienced while I took the test ride in Noida Probiking outlet. and due to which it got stalled.

                    Another thing, while going over the patched road there were some heavyness from the rear wheel, may be due to the Chain or due to the Saree guard/tyre hugger. need to inspect by taking it out off the bike.

                        So did you report it to ASS people? If yes, what was their response?

                            Looks like not everyone is facing this issue. or they might not have felt it as of now. Hopefully its not a major one & would be resolved.

                                try speed,extra-premium.normal ones will also do,but i recommend the ones with additives.
                                and the question remains why do i race?
                                every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                                #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
                                #overkill is underrated.
                                #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
                                #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

                                (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.
