Current ODO : 5200kms

Am getting "Low Oil Pressure" warning for last few days. The warning comes and goes. Yesterday checked my Engine Oil level and found that the oil level couldn't be even seen in the gauge. Although i couldn't spot any oil leak anywhere.
I am running the engine with Motul FS 7100. I had changed to Motul oil when my odo was 2700kms. Although there hasnt been any drop in performance.

Should i just top up the engine oil?

Answer to your first query : That is you hitting the rev limiter at 10500 rpm in 2nd gear. You may not have noticed that the rpm had climed to 10500. The rev limiter in duke is very sharp and one does feel as if the bike is in neutral momentarily.

And what do you mean by "nd today the bike stopped twice in between the traffic giving a red light" ? If you mean the red lamp which is 2nd from left on top of the console lights up, then that is normal. It's supposed to be on if the bike electricals are on and the engine has not been started.

The RPM 2 can be set to any rpm greater than RPM1. It has nothing to do with the rev limiter which is fixed at 10500. The RPM1 and RPM2 are gear shifting aids provided to the rider. THe rev limiter is life prolonging aid provided to the bike .
You can find a detailed explanation of RPM1 and RPM2 back in this thread
if you find the manual confusing

Water does get into from the tank cap. However I think it stays inside the recess which surrounds the rubber/plastic gasket . So I dont think water actually breaches the black gasket. But then one will have to be careful while opening the cap after a water wash or rains as the water in the recess can enter the tank and mix with fuel.

PS :Any suggestions on how to reach the claimed top speed of 138? I have only gone till 130 and that too only once. The bike feels a bit out of breath after 115-120. Yesterday when riding solo I realised I could not twist the throttle more at 120. But yeah that was a slight incline.
Recommended rpms for initial gear shifts so as to reach the top speed? I normally shift all the gears near the redline when I am in mood to reach 125+.
Anyone?

what u might said may be the case that little 500 rpm can be crossed within a blink
thanks man
.
and regarding this bike shutting down in traffic
i face in generally when the fuel is two bars above the low fuel indicator
why is it so ?

Do not ride even if the warning is intermittent. Head to the svc and check what is the problem. There need not be any leak for the oil level to go down. The engine may be consuming oil too. You may notice drop/change in performance later if you are not doing now.
Correctw ay of checking the level : crank your engine. Let it idle for 3-4 minutes. More precisely, let it idle untill the temp bar reaches 4 bars. After that switch it off. Wait for a minute. Now check the oil level. IT should be half of that circular window(or in between the two clips if it's not misaligned)

Rode in heavy rains

Yesterday rode the bike in heavy rains and it performed wonderfully. Even though there was lots of water splashing all over, performance was top notch. Infact the engine felt smoother maybe because it was heating lesser.
Tyre grip was good enough, but played safe and did not go fast as there are idiots on the roads.

Also, near my house, the water was so deep that the exhaust was under water. Bike had no issues going through that water 2-3 times. Infact there was lot of mud at that point, but bike sailed through.

As posted earlier, noticed some drops of water in the overflow area of the fuel tank. Posting the pic so as to get a better idea.

I figured that was what you meant; if you look closely, the ring that's bolted there isn't flush with the metal of the tank. It's just the "bracket" that holds the gas cap onto the tank, and makes it look fancy (it mimics the look of the quick-release filler on a race bike). Water can get under there quite easily, and is no more of a threat than it would be near the filler neck on a bike with a cap like the one in this pic:

I just haven't tested RPM 2 on the 6th gear yet as i haven't crossed 1000 kms on the odometer. I don't need aids/indicators to tell me when to change gears

Thanks bro for your feedback. I also got some feedback on FB KTM Duke owners page one of which is as below:
Thanks to Dhaval Mahidharia for the above response

I weigh 58kgs. I duck down to the tank n open the throttle in 4th, then redline in every gear. i have reached 136, my Duke was still pulling but didnt have the road to go on.

Found this document in motoroids.com. Is it really coming?

I weigh 85+ and have reached a speed of 138kmph on my duke. The only suggestion I can give is to find a longer open & straight stretch. Because after about 120kmph the bike did take a while to touch the 135+ mark which I have done quite a few times.

Hey guys.. I've got some niggling issues with my Duke now, just a few days after the first service . The exhaust note is now very subdued, not as loud and rorty as usual, there is a rough and loud whirring noise from the engine that increases with the revs (wasn't there before), and the rear brake isn't biting properly.. The bike seemed to feel and sound better before the service. Will be going to the service centre tomorrow to get it checked...

after the service the exhaust note subsides and within few kms it comes back to normal and the more miles the better and louder will be the sound
.
whirring noise from the engine head ?
.
the rear brake action play isnt that good , u need to get it adjusted in the SVC

It might be, I really like the zero emission off road bike part and the X-Bow thing.
