If he's getting punctures that frequently, he should probably stick with the stock tire. It'll be cheaper. The rear tire on the Duke is a fairly unique size. Only Pirelli and Metzeler (apparently) make tires in that size, and only the Pirelli is apparently available in India. It's significantly more expensive than the stock MRF though, so replacing it all the time is going to eat into his wallet heavily.ATGATT: All The Gear, All The Time!

I would suggest the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II they have an exact fit for the dukes tire profiles both front and back and they're made of dual compound rubber. So that means you'd get more mileage with the tire since the middle part of the tire will be composed of hard rubber as well as better handling on account of a soffer stickier rubber on the sides of the tire. This is motogp tech at its best. Also the Diablo Rosso II's have a new improves tread pattern to have more water dissipation and more road contact with the slick part of the tires. All in all it'll be a good all weather tire. Do let us know how much it costs in your city.Originally posted by vajra_bng View Post

thanks bro....helped a lot.Originally posted by The Mountain View Post
But then it would also allow some evaporative fuel emissions too.
Also this should be informed to KTM. Petrol tank features are priority one.
Also any precautionary measure or method i could implement in order to avoid such a thing.?

Emissions from where? When the cap is closed, the tank is sealed; you could take it off the bike and turn it upside-down and nothing would come out.Originally posted by Ankitvile View Post
Edited to add: there is a vent on the tank, though it should be baffled so no liquid can get out, but every fuel system has that. Without a vent, the tank would develop a vacuum inside as the fuel level went down.Last edited by The Mountain; 09-06-2012, 03:56 PM.ATGATT: All The Gear, All The Time!
