Thanks for the figures. So its around 30 when ripped, around 35 normally and 40 conservative. Duke 200 seems better than competition at the same price range even on mileage

Remember it also depends on the rider and riding style. But, yeah, you will be able to manage 30-40 under most circumstances.

Almost better than my FZ-S

Hey I have filled upto the brim many times and could never smell petrol or see an overspill. May be this problem is not there in all the bikes?

Filling upto the brim will not make it over flow or give out smell. When fuel goes over the brim into the black area, it is siphoned out through the overflow pipe.
The other day when i went to get the bike fueled, the idiotic pump attendant poured petrol on the black area and it started coming out from the over flow hose, so if fuel is filled above the brim, and if it goes into the black area, it will come out through the overflow pipe.

With Monsoons around the corner, a little DIY SEAT COVER so that water does not enter below the seats.

Possible Oil Leak!!

Hey fellow bikers,

Yesterday I saw oil under the left side of swingarm. Also some traces of oil on the back part of the engine..

What do you think is the problem here?? Is anyone else facing the same issue?

Nice idea. Did you make it or bought it?

Cud u post pics so that we can help. I had oil leak after a long trip near the clutch cover which was rectified by tightening the cover bolts.

No, this is totally DIY. I used an old raincoat (dont laugh).

I'm going to the svc tomorrow in the morning. Will try and post some pics or maybe a video so you guys can get an idea.

About the seat cover, it's a good idea to use the old raincoats.. Very neat work

1 more problem that I am facing..

People from my office keeping their filthy asses on my bike when it is on the side stand.

How much weight can the side stand sustain? I am worried that it might just break because of this.. What do you fellas think?

some 10-15 pages back, Mountain had posted 2 possible and very potent solutions for this problem after I reported the same issue. YOu'll surely like them

I know that Nail / sex with their GF solution that Mountain suggested.

But I want a more practical solution. I was thinking about an alarm but then the original KTM alarm is heftily (literally) priced and I don't want local mechanics messing with the electrical of the motorcycle..

Even I'd like to know this. My bike has started leaning at much more nowadays and its very unstable if the ground is not flat. I am waiting to see the Pulsar 200NS centre stand and if its possible retrofit it on the Duke.

You mean the seat spikes?

I wish it was possible. But these monkeys will find new ways to fiddle around. God forbid they start standing on the bike.

Go for xena. It'd be cheaper than the KTM one.

I don't think Xena make alarm system..

It has disk locks but they are not of use in our case.
