Almost every Car SVC or even some good and big tires dealers have the wheel alignment facility.

I am not sure about the exact cost but I can guarantee you it must be less. Most of the normal spare parts are way cheap. Like the front fender/mudguard costs 700 - 750 bucks. Clutch or brake levers would cost 90 - 100 bucks. All normal parts costs almost same as that of pulsar AFAIK.

Now one advice. Your first two questions are already discussed in this thread before, maybe just a few pages back. So please search this thread before posting questions. I must say this thread is very informative and healthy. Only thing one may need is to search the thread. No offense.

For your third question there are several websites available. Just google it and you'll find many websites. BTW I'll suggest you to go to any good local auto shop/store as these things are readily available and prices would be almost same.

Thanks.. I got Gopal's number from the showroom. Would go and get my bike serviced from there.. Thanks for the address bro.... Cheers.

Sorry to hear about the "Beauty Marks".. That's the sole reason I don't trust the security guards at my office and I make sure I park my bike at such a place where they won't require to move it and lock the handle...

But yet some filthy asses come near the bike, sit on it and click pics and then post those pics on social websites saying "MY NEW BIKE".

Now about your questions:

Please go back some pages - there is a detailed explanation about engine oil and Mountain has explained it with good details.

You can opt for Castrol or Motul coolants but use a single brand and don't mix two different coolants... You can also check out Engine Ice High Performance Coolant. A bit expensive though. BTW where are you located? If in Mumbai then go to The Motoshop. You can get all the stuff there.

Motul chain cleaner and lubricant are very good. I am personally using them and they work perfectly. Both the bottles (400ml each) would cost you 1000 bucks.

The original KTM crash guards are around Rs 2,000-2,500 I guess.

Yeah. %00 Kms is good for a first oil change. It may prolong the life and performance of you engine.

YOu can try Motul 3100 4T 20W50 too. It's SS and the performance is quite good. It lacks a bit at lower revs, but holds up quite well at higher revs. I feel that FS should be used only after 2500-3000 kms. But that's my opinion. Lot of guys use FS(7100) here and are very satisfied. So choice is yours

Thats what im thinking ,Now i go for semi synth later at first service full synthetic.


Thanks for the reply. Im from hassan,Karnataka .I cant find motul here let alone 7100,300v . i have to rely on online stores


Google cant reveal reliable online stores, only you people can :P.Please suggest some. Anyway im sorta far-flung area and local stores dont sell motul here.


Thanks for wishes,I couldnt find reliable stores online if you have any idea post some.by the way im also from vizag now staying in hassan (karnataka)

I'd say you use SS oil till 2nd service i.e. 5000km. Let the engine properly bed in and then change to Motul 7100 20W50 FS.

For those who reside in Pune - Aundh and Baner area a old Bajaj Showroom has been converted into KTM and KAWASAKI Store. You can get your vehicle serviced here.

PS - its in front of TenHut's home diagonally to Hotel Bhairavee Baner.

Hows Duke when it comes to long ride ?

Hi Duke owners,

Need feedback as to how the Duke200 is when to comes to the long rides ?
Most of my long rides are without any pillion, just a back pack.

But I would love smooth vibration less cruise in the 6th gear - I guess Duke has it covered......

thats good to hear that u are from vizag
Tel : + 91 22 2501 1960 / + 91 22 25011961
call these numbers , they will give u numbers of dealers in Karnataka or nearby ur city


i have covered 240 kms with a pillion
my pillion severed from back ache problems and we had to stop frequently for taking brakes
but if ur a single rider ul have no problem

duke is not made for highway cruising..even though it manages it well...it is meant for ghat rides..you will simply fell in love with the bike if you take it to the twisties..its simply addictive..
if you are just looking for relaxed highway cruising i think CBR250r is a better option..just take a test ride and decide..cheers..

well 400 kms to nd fro was not a problem for me except the bum pain.regards pillion, seat is horrible.and if by cruising you mean 80 then yes you can cruise.

For those asking about chain alignment, there are tools available. I've seen them on Amazon, for one source. However, I would imagine that a good metal drafting ruler held edge-on against the wheel sprocket, just under the chain and extending towards the drive sprocket, would work well enough to reveal all but the most minute misalignments. You'd have to make your adjustments in small increments and then re-check with the ruler, but it should be a good low-budget alternative to the chain alignment tools, which run probably Rs.3000-4000

You can use this to help decide the ratios and sprocket sizes based on your requirement.

I am definitely sure that there is considerable misalignment. Even the Service advisor confirmed this. The mechanic probably was in Aa hurry to leave for home that day so he may just have washed his hands off it by saying 'itna sa to chalta hai sir'. He tried the meatl drafting ruler technique too.
The KTM engineer was to come today. Got a call from the service adv., but can't go as I am in office and riding to the SVC and coming back is not an option

Nasiks Dukes

Anyone in Nasik Planning to service their bikes this week hold on till next week. They will get Motul 7100 by then. I got mine serviced today n had to put in the DTSi oil.

You can get Motul 7100 in Nasik behind Bosch Service center (Gajjar Garage) @ Singhada Talao. Switch if you want.
