    Ideally, coolant level should be checked everytime you start the bike.What i follow is start the bike,check the radiator hoses, coolant level, mirror alignment and then ride.Regarding chain noise, visit the svc.Tightening the chain will solve it.

    Ride safe.

        Hi Bro, good one but be careful as tightening the hose cap even a little bit more may result in the cap or even the pipe end to crack
        Yes Kevin, I just tight it enough so as to keep it from moving from the cap. The cap can turn on the pipe end, yes but have to keep in mind.

          i removed the hugger today .. duke looks better now .. bike became lighter .. i am expecting it to look like a dirty pig during rains ..

                    NO as rightly pointed out its not lugging at all, you will feel the lugging as engine loosing its steam and rpm getting bit irregular etc.

                      there are three different sizes of alan keys provided in the tool kit .. you will need two among them ..
                      i guess you havent got the complete tool kit then ...
                      tools provided for me came in a sealed plastic cover along with a ktm pouch ..

                          That's true but cleaning the dirty pig is what Dukers should be worried about. I myself am and prefer not to take my ride out when it pours!!

                            Yes KTM/ Bajaj will honor the warranty.
                            Warranty is on the product, not on the person whom the product was sold.
                            So dont worry & but it.

                              Thanks a ton man for the quick reply, another question though, if i get the bike from Delhi and get it registered here in chandigarh, so will i have to go back to delhi for availing warranty (assuming something goes bad) or KTM Chandigarh will look after it?

                                You can take the bike anywhere in India. They will honor the warranty. No restrictions on location/ region etc.
                                But remember, the warranty will be on manufacturing defects!
                                You can also take it to Ludhiana
                                I also heard that there is a new KTM showroom is coming up in Amritsar!
