Hmm.. that's a good idea man.. Thanks. I guess ordering one from ebay or amazon is the only choice we have, haven't we?

BTW I was going through Xena's website and they do have some amazing products.. Check out their zone alarm systems.. Things which you can get in $50-60.. Amazing stuff

hahaha.. it is for people like you that this bike was made..

Hey i have a query. The manual recommends that we do not make any modifications to the electrical systems because they are sensitive or something. Does this mean that a HID system isnt possible?

Bro installing HID is very much possible.
Only issue is that ASC are always ready to void warranty at the drop of a hat, so try avoiding any electrical mods (rather any mods at all) till warranty is over.
Electrical system is sensitive as the functioning is dependent on ECU which has sensitive electronics. Other members can throw some light on this.

duke sprocket sizes

guys..any idea about the front and rear sprocket size..??
planning to overgear a little bit..

Duke Run IN

Out of curiosity. Does the manual suggest or recommend anything else other than the 7500 rpm limit for the 1st 1000 kms as part of the runin procedure?

The european 125/200 duke manual does not have any such reco. In fact the bike comes with RPM1 and RPM2 set at 10000 and 11000 rpm respectively. Is it assumed that the euros would follow motoman by default or may be the bike engines come run in from factory itself?
Am I missing something or being silly here?

today i tried setting the rpm 1 and rpm 2

and
i could change only the rpm 1
but didnt get rpm 2 option
and moreover the highest value is 10450 thats it


why only 10450 when they said it can rev upto 10500 rpm ?

Get the XX6 model... that's got a 6-7mm locking pin that will fit the Duke.. the one shared by Aargee is a 14mm pin that will not fit... Xena XX6 is what most of us use out here.. atleast the noise will scare some people away...

Wait for around 15-16 seconds after setting RPM1 to access the RPM2 setting menu.
The RPM2 has to be hogher than the RPM1. They cannot be same. So if the highest possible rpm(and hence RPM2) is 10500, then RPM1 has to be at the most 10450

u mean to say do the same procedure as RPM 1 setting but hold the same buttons but for 20 seconds or so ?

Won't be a big issue(or atleast immediately) if the person don't put his total weight and for a considerable amount of time. But it can have it's own effect.

You can surely go for alarm but I have seen cases where few of the people just hit/kick/touch your bike cause it starts screaming!!! But that's a problem if you park your bike in an area where there is no security guard or attendant, Elsewhere the sound will attract the security guard/attendant to save your bike.

100% True ... Just today I had to stay at office until 2 o clock(in the night or morning ... whatever you call it). I was irritated/hungry/tired etc. But as soon as I left office and started the Bike, I forgot everything. Only thing I can recall now is that I was sailing, surfing, flying and zooming in the night.

The manual or for that matter every Bike manual is against any Mod and that is there for a reason. Any Mod done by any unprofessional and without calculating it's short and long term effect is bad for a bike. So for those cases the Company will not be liable to repair or replace anything that normally comes under warranty. So either wait for the warranty to get over or forget the warranty at all and start Modding. Choice is yours.

Not sure about the European one, but the Indian one do recommend a soft running in till 1000 Kms. I don't think any manufacturer across the Globe recommends the Motoman method atleast in pen & paper. Unless that method is proven globally no body(manufacturer) will recommend that.

Even the XX10 will not fit Duke?? Does the Pin go through the Drilled holes present in the Disc? How much for a XX6 in India? Any online store based in India?
Sorry to bombard you with questions.

I have installed HID with projector and Angel eye in stock headlight of my duke. No issues till date , Costed me 5200/- from http://www.mxsmotosport.com/

Let me know which bikes sprockets you are planning to use.

Good to know that. Could you please post some pictures of your bike? i want to have a look as to how the mods look on the bike.
