        I am put up at Ulsoor. Must be my luck. Have yet to see one. We usually do a gtg every sunday. Should join us, those interested. Love to have a Duke along in the group.

          This is strange, its on the floor, visible from inside the spoiler that it dripped. a few drops on the ignition coil. The spoiler on the front also has drops. I suspect it could be an overflow, there is no manifold leak. The coolant tank shows level above the max level. Will wait for a workshop trip..

          here are some photos

            Well that sounds bad! . I hope its nothing major, do update us about it.
            When life gives you Yamaha, make it RD350 not R15. :D

              Can you please tell us what is the level of coolant in the tank? It should be 3-4 mm above the Min mark. I remember this issue was reported in the Duke 125 page of FB but changing an O ring solved the issue and I was told this issue was taken care of in the 200. Strange! Let me check with my sources.

              But I would need your input on the coolant level please. Thanks.

              Edit: Oops I did notice you say "above the max level" - so you have answered your question! Please maintain 3-4 mm above Min level mark. Who filled in so much coolant?

                No,Sir. I'm blinded by my love for the flickability of Splendor.

                As what I mentioned once earlier, one Duke owner had called the Duke200 a Splendor on steroids. Super light weight+super powerful=deadly combination.

                I'm only wondering what the Duke350 would be like, the 4stroke version of the legendary RD350 and better maybe?

                  So is the Duke 200 torquey from start or is it similar to CBR250, where power comes to play after 4000 rpm?

                    Haha! Duke 200 = Splendor on steroids! Nice comparison! I got to ride my friends splendor to check this out.

                      Yes it is an overflow, have been looking for a solution as Duke125 owners mention this too. what O-ring is it? the one one the cap? If it were a line leak coolant would spew out. ill clean it tomorrow and take some coolant out. I hate dealing with coolant, its the most poisonous compound in automobiles.

                        Just forget I even mentioned some ring! Simply bring down the level and regain your peace of mind!

                        You didn't tell us who filled it to the brim. I had taken my Duke to the A.S.S to check on the coolant level and this is how I learnt - 3-4 mm above min level is what is recommended.

                          @ Shubz and other owners

                          request you to please answer my query, as this could be my next and probably last bike.

                          Pasting my query again
                          I presently ride a pepped up 220 (courtesy Joel) and I enjoy the torque flow and super fast acceleration of my bike.

                          I have also ridden FZ 16 extensively, and thats the only bike apart from my 220 that has brought a smile on my face.

                          Would like to know if the KTM 200 has torque flowing right from the bottom (not like the cbr 250 or R15, where it is dead below a certain RPM) and thats exactly what I am looking from my next ride.

                          FZ owners who have upgraded to KTM, is the KTM like a bigger and better version of FZ, because the handlebar position, seating position is somewhat similar.

                          In short I think KTM is a mix of 220 (power and torque) and FZ (Ergonomics and flickability). Please let me know if I am wrong.

                            It was the showroom that filled it. I remember they were saying coolant was low in all the bikes and they were topping it up before delivery. 3-4mm above min, isn't it nearly low?

                              Sorry to miss out on this Chinmay. I've found Duke torquey from start. Anybody on a CBR can comment about the comparison.

                              Don't know if it's a personal question - but why last bike?

                                Thanks Shubz, I am married with a kid, so most probably this could be my last bike, or may be I get to buy a bike again after a long time.
