Thank You.

No, There's nothing in their parts bin.

I used glue cause I did not want to drill holes or put on fasteners that might leave marks or scratches on the mudguard. I guess it should hold on. Even if it does fall off, The damage is just 30 Rupees and a replacement can be put in place in a jiffy.

Duke

Sharing a few images of my Duke

(how do you show the pics here instead of the thumbnails?)

Check out the album here if you'd like

Also, started a FB group - Delhi Dukers - for us Delhi guys to get together. Like, join, contribute, enjoy.

Is the radiator grill Modified??

Nice pics man and acrobats too
Which place though? i was unable to recognise

We might go OT if we discuss more on this topic. But still I wanted a healthy discussion to happen so that we Bikers can gather more knowledge about the technology the new age bikes are using and to know how much good are they.

I went through those links but I wanted some authentic and scientific articles that could back up this triple spark tech. But none of these links or my own googling gave me the satisfaction. So far I could find only twin spark technology used in some cars but found a triple spark tech used only once. That too for "igniting the unimaginably dense air-fuel mixtures at 55 psi of boost with air-nitro ratios in the 1.75:1 range--meaning 40-percent of the charge mixture is fuel, as opposed to the seven percent you'd typically see in a gasoline-fuel powerplant."
Even in all the forums it's a mixed reaction. Few people only claimed that it would give better fuel efficiency. Though I am confused because the second spark is a 'wasted spark' and happens during the exhaust stroke. Mostly users are inclined towards "clearing the emission norms" reason. This was also used in age old racing cars and old Mercs or Nissans, but eventually most of them shifted to single sparks also.

Also my primary doubt was not about twin spark tech but about the triple spark tech for which I couldn't find any proper supporting document. So I guess I would still search for any proper info before believing this triple spark. Do share any authentic and useful info if you could find some.

Lastly I was also not comparing Duke to NS, rather trying to find justification of using Triple spark(please note : not dual spark) tech from performance point of view.

Bro it's true that we hardly ride any bike below 2000 RPM, but Duke has idle RPM around 1400 - 1500 in cold condition and about 1100 - 1200 in hot condition. So my point was if you are fine with the throttle and your bike has clean filters and proper adjusted cables you wouldn't get the jerk. And by jerk I don't mean the massive acceleration Duke shows. I mean when the power is felt increasing abruptly. I have experienced this few times and the SVC people has resolved this jerk behavior whenever I reported this to them(twice I think). And I haven't experienced the "Snatchy Fueling" issue yet.

About the tire grip you can just read 'Doga's accident case and see the truth. The rear tire sometimes skids under hard braking but still it's very less scary than other non-ABS bikes in it's category. My point was that the rear brake is actually decent but the tire fails to use it's full power properly. The rear tire lets you down well before the rear brake looses the war. Now if you install a Pirreli then only you can experience the actual braking potential of this bike.

Lastly if someone is selling you Designer LS2 in 2.5K range then I strongly suspect whether it's an original one.

Thank God you are safe ......... again. man, what are you doing now-a-days??? Be extra careful.

I can realize the pain perfectly. Though the extra part doesn't look good but I know you are forced to adopt this. I wish if someone can provide any other alternatives!!!

Rear Disc sound

Guys,

I'm facing some issue with my Duke's rear disc from 2 weeks after I drove my bike in the rain and as a result got accumulated with Dirt and Sand. Didn't thoroughly clean the bike after that.There's a peculiar sound coming whenever I engage the rear brake. Something like "thhuuuushhhh"..There is also a spongy feel to the brake lever. When I inspected the rear disc, Its very rough and covered with circular grooves all over. Its no where near the smoothness of the front disc. Is it because of some sand particles between the brake pad and the disc. How much of a problem is this and should the disc be replaced?

Not much of a problem Buddy..
You can splash water on the rear disc, and it will wash out any dirt still present there. It has solved this problem of many NS owners who have faced this same problem.

If anyhow, some thing is damaged, then I guess only the Brake Pad replacement will do. But clean it ASAP

Looks like kinda protector.. net like.

Bikers' Bar-End

This is the picture of Bikers' bar-end installed on my Duke 200
It absorbs vibration, making the handle bar less vibe

even i find some posts in a similar way when they are against me .. i wisely choose to ignore them as it makes no difference ..it depends on mentality of a person ..

Has anybody tried to check if the 200 NS front mud flap or rear number plate holder would fit the Duke ?

Looks nice ...Can it be installed on other bikes too ?

Cost & how it works ?

i have read in some older post; someone was complaining that 4-5 bikes were used in underbelly exuast

i have read in some older post; someone was complaining that 4-5 bikes were used in underbelly exhuast test and there was somethinng fishy as video was not continous etc etc bla bla bla. Hope now that guy gets the answer or maybe he ll find soomething fishy in this video also.

no power parts available for the extension or a mud flap.
you can safely go with feviquick, i also have the same mod done and had a trip (delhi to mussorie), with few high speed burts of 138 kmph, and most of the time cruised it at 100-110 kmph and it is still glued strong.
