How much has your motorcycle clocked? Try topping up the coolant in the coolant reservoir and observe for a few days. If there are no significant fluctuations in the level of the fluid in the reservoir, there's nothing to panic. If you observe the coolant level going down to min post each top up, we have a trouble. But for now, top up and observe.

The coolant on my D200 is at the Min Mark! I hardly get stuck in traffic and the temperature bars hardly ever reach near the point when the fan would turn on, so I hope I haven't done any major damage to the bike, right? Also, what are the immediate measures I should take, should I get the coolant topped up at the SVC, or are there any other alternatives? The bike is due for service in another 1100 KM's

I think you need to visit SVC.
I don't think they will charge for little top-up. Try your luck.

But I don't have coolant with me, that's why I was a little sceptical about what I should do!
Also, if I go to the SVC to get it topped up, would I be charged for it? I have good rapport with them.

Top up coolant and check for any leakage.
After topping up, check for few days before going to SVC.

Clutch adjustment should be your problem. Inspect your clutch play and observe if you have very little to no clutch play. Get your clutch play adjusted. Secondly, reduce the clutch bite point to a notch lower so that the clutch doesn't bite at the extreme end of clutch lever throw. This coupled with the right clutch play would mean smoother gear shifts. Too low a clutch play or too low a clutch bite adjustment would mean harder gear shifts and almost no shifts.

If all these are at the right spec, check your gear shifter tie rod adjusted for excess slack.

The duke's rear suspension is leaking and the part isnt available in the svc for the past one month. Where can I find the part in local shops in hyderabad. I have once read that pulsar's suspension is compatible with it, is it a good replacement?

I got 2015 ktm duke 200 with 25000+km this is the first sprocket change so looking for sprocket change to 39T or 40T since new duke has 6holes sprocket pulsar sprockets wont fit to 6 hole they are 4 hole any advice to get 6 hole sprocket in bangalore

i told you what to do in the whatsapp group. get the original from the svc. outside you will end up with refurbished ones and don't try parts from the pulsar bin. stick to the original. did you email ktm ?

Sticking to your queries regarding batteries, most motorcycle batteries last 3 years plus, it also depends on how well the motorcycle is taken care of. Secondly, batteries being batteries deteriorate over time, the cells, the solution inside them over time lose the properties due to repeated charging cycles. For some batteries last long, for some less, it's just the way it is. If you are apprehensive of the notion that your bike might leave you stranded, periodically check your battery's voltage, should be no less than 12.4 for a perfectly charged battery. If you ride your motorcycle on a daily basis, the recharging component of question doesn't matter much. If you take your bike once every week, then it's imperative to check the battery voltage and make sure the battery is fully charged.

Now, the million dollar question! Will a failed battery leave you stranded? Yes, of course! But it all depends on the periodic inspection and what not. Keep riding your motorcycle and it shall be fine.

Like with tires, accelerator cables and clutch cables do fray over time and can snap when one least expects , but it takes considerable amount of time for a clutch for accelerator cable to snap or fray, so nothing to lose one's sleep over Again, lubing the cables and greasing the lever yoke and properly adjusted cables last very long. The process for changing the Duke's clutch cable is as similar as any other bike.

the stock maintenance free battery exide (Exide FXL0-XLTZ9) is good, nothing wrong with it.
it should normally last around 3 years atleast under normal use without any 'maintenance'. if you are someone who lets the bike sit unused for many months (a couple of weeks or a month shouldn't be any issues), then it might require a recharge.. which usually any local shop will do for around 50-100rs.
my duke is now 31k km & 40 months old (i.e close to 3.5 yrs) and am still on the stock battery. never had to touch it.
the duke console will show up a low battery warning, so you could use that as a cue.

the duke is not an irregular bike it is also just another motorcycle with a 'regular' clutch cable. so yeah the clutch cable can snap.
replacing the clutch cable on a duke is similar to doing it on any other motorcycle.. nothing special about it. am sure a simple google search will throw up some video.

Got the bike serviced at 46.9k km. Battery was giving problem on and off and the Speedo always went crazy after the wash. Only the avg speed part was visible. Changed the battery to amaron dry btz9r from local guy. Costed 1750 after 150 rebate for old battery. After changing the battery Speedo is perfectly fine. Guess the low voltage was messing up the screen.
