Dear Sir/Madam

I had the following conversation regarding transfer of warranty of KTM Duke 200, tailed with this Email. I was told that warranty cant be transferred in my name, if I buy from the 1st owner. I understand if this is a company policy and i respect it. But I found something on KTM website that contradicts your previous reply to me. I am pasting the link as well as the statement. I hope you can provide me with a sound and logic reply for the same. I am already depressed and loosing faith in KTM india.

Is the KTM manufacturer's warrant still valid after the motorcycle has been sold?
Yes, the KTM manufacturer's warranty is specific to a particular motorcycle and can be transferred to a new owner. The precondition for this is that the new owner is registered in the KTM Dealer.Net. Registration can be performed by any KTM dealer.
You also have the option of registering the transfer of ownership using the " Address or Owner Change" card in the service booklet. Please send it to the KTM representative in your country.

HHO kit in DUKE

hi.

few days later i got to know about HHO fuel kits for 2 wheeler.
it has several plus pints such

• mileage will improve to 30 to 50%
• power and pickup will also improve to 25%
• carbon emission will reduce significantly
  • it also reduce down the operating temperature of bike as in byproduct water content increases
• octane value of fuel will increase
• efficiency of stroke will improve as HHO carries free oxygen
• environmentally it is good as it help reducing sulphur and carbon monoxide content in exhaust
• and it is also not very expensive

even Indian companies are also building HHO fuels kits and exporting

HHO Generator, Hydrogen Generator - fuel saving using HHO Hydrogen Generator

i am planning to put such product on duke but there are several question like how the system will fit in efi
and its compression ratio is also very high

so some body please help me on this.

Ok, you can share you number with them and have a conversation to clarify on this.
However, please make sure you also get an email from them on what was discussed. Just in case if you want to take this further, that would help you.

Hope KTM is reading this too . We wanted what company is promised to give to, nothing more !!!

^^^great
also
holes = weight reduction.!

First of all, putting something like that on your bike is going to guarantee that KTM will never agree to service it again. Second:

HHO is an old scam. It violates the laws of physics, and all of those claims are lies put out over and over by the folks running the scams. All an HHO does is put gullible peoples' money in the scammers' pockets.

Here's a link that covers the topic briefly. On that page is another link where real physicists debunk HHO. HHO is a scam: water for fuel doesn’t work, don’t fall for it. Random musings from a heavily caffeinated computer business owner

Interesting and i am sure in this day and e-age with all the social networking stuff etc.. it is obvious they and many others definitely have an eye on such forums etc.. (pssstt check your pm ... i am sure they cant read it ) and.. ktm... BOOOOO!

The Duke.

A couple of weeks into owning Duke 200 and I am convinced that this hi-tech bike is all but the angry................very angry bike having old school raw power delivery and speeds and believes in nailing the point instead of making it.

Very very happy owning this bike......................

Im in Kathmandu too. I had a few words with the business head, service center head and some of the technician's. I also sent a few emails to bajaj and ktm, but the demand for Motul oil was too less for authorised distribution. The cost of Motul 7100 20W50(recommended oil that does not void the warranty) would cost around 3000 rs per oil change ,i.e. 1.4L. Information is that only two people including myself have approached bajaj, ktm and our local dealers regarding the availability of Motul oil. I will be importing either 7100 or 300v depending on the frequency of problems i face within the first 5000 kms. I've done 2750 now and i've scheduled an oil change at 3000kms. PM me for any query or solution.

ok even if the generator wont work on engine.
is it possible that companies like NTPC, indian oil, etc may extract hho gas and supply commercial and we can have engine 100% based on HHO fuel because we need fuel other than petrol and diesel.
if this can be done than in whole world there will be no energy crisis, transportation will become cheaper and inflation can be controlled significantly, cities will be pollution free.. means it can change world

regarding dukes warranty. i have an alternative, my old TVS suzuki max 100..
thanks for your valuable feedback

please read this also.. http://www.siliconindia.com/news/gen...324-cid-1.html

Please shoot me in the foot if you said that the Motul is gonna cost you Rs.3000?!?!? I hope it's a typo!!!

25% increase in power??? 50% increase in mileage??? Does putting this on the bike also make it grow wings??? Young man, if the so called hydrogen generator was so efficient, every car and bike would have been equipped with one. It's pure humbug and as suggested by Mountain, don't waste your time and money.

Hmmm.... maybe I should suggest this hydrogen generator to Lorenzo, he has been complaining all season long about how his bike needs more power. Added bonus will be the increased mileage since the bikes are restricted to 21 litres of fuel.

From his first statement, he is from nepal so 3000/- is not in INR.

H2-based vehicles are nothing new, and BMW among others is developing one. HHO on the other hand is bunk. A true H2 vehicle has a very different engine, for one thing. Second, H2 is still only an experimental technology. Unlike petroleum, H2 is not an energy source, it's an energy store, and H2 has many many fewer BTUs than either gasoline or diesel. Currently, there is no viable way to collect free-floating H2; it has to be "cracked" from water or from an acid, and you lose more energy doing the cracking than you gain in the H2. That professor hasn't come up with anything new, he's just re-invented the wheel; people have been running engines of various kinds on H2 for decades.

Second, please read that link I put up; the technology does not work. In order to run on even partial H2, you have to put in more liters of H2 per minute than your bike is capable of generating, and the amount you will generate will do nothing useful. You run the very real risk of destroying the engine in your bike as well.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Duke thread, and to stay sort of on-topic, it looks now like I'll be booking my Duke in the next couple of weeks, not in October. As such, expect a much less breathless review than we've seen so far, written from the perspective of someone who has ridden many other bikes, many of which were far more powerful and had far more sophisticated suspensions. This will be the smallest, slowest, least-powerful street bike I've ever owned.

Looking forward to your comments.
And any changes/tweaks that you plan on getting done.

And again,
Thanks for your immense contribution to this thread
