Re: KTM 200 Duke
Yes, you're right michelins squares out in the center due to wear and it looks more wider than 150.Originally posted by s1d View Post
The rosso II 150 looks like 140size after the michelins, but overall michelin is a great tyre and it is very durable.Leave a comment:

Re: KTM 200 Duke
nice. the michelin i've noticed 'squares' out excessively along the center due to wear and i feel it isn't as rounded a profile as the mrf/pirelli. I am on the michelin since 18k + km and it has enough tread depth left for another 5k km at least.Originally posted by vikundefined View Post
i personally feel a 150 is one size too big and will probably be switching over to a 140, with my preferred choices being Timsun, Ralco (with the tread pattern that's 'dirt/street' friendly) or the mrf masseter.Last edited by s1d; 06-20-2018, 01:09 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: KTM 200 Duke
The red light with key illuminated usually lights up when there is a fault with the IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM if installed, something similar to cars. Have you installed the immobilizer system on your motorcycle? If yes, check the wiring of the immobilizer unit. Secondly, if the answer is no, I'd suggest you remove the seat and look for a connector near the fuse box with a connector cap on it that is jumped with a wire; check if that connector is secure and the jumper wire is intact.Originally posted by kundalus View Post
If you're washed your motorcycle or if the bike has been seeing some action in rain, it's advisable to let the bike dry thoroughly, especially the switchgear and the relays which earths due to water ingestion. Usually, these issues resolve themselves once the bike is given some sunshine to dry or shoot of compressed air.
Keep your observations posted.
Cheers!

Re: KTM 200 Duke
Hi guys, is anyone using Ceat RAD 150 rear tyre in their dukes. I am going to change the tyre in couple of days and currently have michelin pilot street. Very impressed with michelin, but wanted to check all options.Leave a comment:

jokes apart, looks like your console is all fogged up with water inside. maybe that is causing some issues in the circuitry.
the middle one i guess is the indicator for the immobilizer. the symbol you see is a key.
get your bike to the svc or local mechanic who has compressed air and blow it around the switch gear, ignition key area, fuses and any part of wiring/connectors possible, especially those under the rear seat.
i've had the indicator light on the console light up after a wash even without operating the indicator switch, turns out it was moisture in left side switch gear causing it. a good blast of compressed air gets rid of it.
and btw, are you using one of them hazard light modules that plug in to the socket under the seat ? check that socket also and clean it out, and make sure the jumper wire is in place.

Re: KTM 200 Duke
I have a situation here. Last night after starting my bike I noticed this red light turns on once I out bike in gear. Tried searching online but could not find much details. Wondering what this would be about. Can anyone help understand what this indicates?

Re: KTM 200 Duke
Thank you s1d , I only ride it 2.5kms at one stretch to office (only on highway) at weekdays and occasional 20 to 30 kms in weekends for small rides.Maybe thats why I always get 35kmpl..i once had done a 120km stretch at around 70-80kmph and got 39kmpl.All my fe are by full tank to tank method and oneday i will really head out to highways to check my fe there.Originally posted by s1d View Post35kmpl is normal FE that most get.. anything more requires riding it sanely with less traffic. remember shorter rides (say less than 5km) around town will sip more fuel than longer ones. and also if you are looking at the console figures, then you'd have to ride the bike for sometime (say around 20 minutes) to get a fairly accurate reading.
On the highway if you keep it under 90kmph, you can easily get 45kmpl.
these FE figures are console indicated numbers and real time would be around 5% lesser. the best way imo to check fe is full tank to full tank method.
so just relax and enjoy the bike, it wasn't made for people to boast about their fe

Re: KTM 200 Duke
Thanks VJ for your reassuring words.My 35 kmpl mileage was found by full tank to full tank method.I always get 35 no matter what.[emoji1]Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post35/kmpl is a indeed a decent mileage. Most 200 cc bikes give a mileage of 35 to 40 max, with that in mind it's not at a bad average at all. 39 can be squeezed during highway runs when ridden with a relaxed wrist. Wring the neck, and you can expect a mileage of 25 to 35 kmpl. I'd suggest not to place too much emphasis on the instrument console for real time mileage, it can sometimes throw erroneous numbers. The numbers you're getting is the right and realistic mileage figure.
Cheers!

Re: KTM 200 Duke
Hi Friends,
Just wanted to check what is the mileage that you all get for duke 200.I have been owning my duke for 11 months now and no matter how i drive (sane or insane) i always get around ~35km/litre.I was just watching some youtube videos and i am able to see some of them getting 39 or 43 kmpl even in city riding conditions.Is this even possible? because i am seriously getting freaked out on how they are getting so much kms on 1 litre petrol..[emoji22].Leave a comment:
