Exactly the same riding conditions, similar riding style (i shift at >9k mostly) , exactly the same fuel economy. Good to know i'm not getting extraordinarily low fuel efficiency (as many people on the internet will make you believe). I think if you MUST, for some reason, get good average out of your duke 200, you COULD short shift at 4k rpm in each gear and end up getting close to 40, but that's not the point of buying a duke then :\

Anybody got oil consumption in ktm duke 200, oil level getting low within 1000 km & massage showing on cluster. if u got reply me .

The sound coming is from the drive chain its not the timing chain. Timing chain runs in the cylinder transferring drive to OHCs. The drive chain can be tightened it starts sounding again within few kms. Actually depends on one's riding style. Its common on several infact all dukes the chain slapping and sounding...So its not a problem. Secondly Upload a pic for a clearer picture of oil leak because the oil leak may be the lubing oil applied to the chain which might be dripping off. If its thin oil and black full of dirt it surely would be the extra chain lube oil seeping off.

Picked up the Duke yesterday! Was confused between Black and Orange, but i finally gave in to Black as usual :P

Only issue so far is a noise from the rear while going over potholes, Guess its the tool kit!

@LP & @ Abhijeet

Nice to see you guys active in this thread!

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Congrats Satish.

This is bike #number ?? In the last 5-6 years

Why not waiting for the 390?

Guys remember I had posted about a radiator issue I was facing?

The radiator fan was seemingly unable to bring the temperature down even after 10-12 minutes of operation.
Not that the bike was running hot or the fan was not turning on when needed. But after turning on, the fan would keep on running, but the temp bars wont disappear from the console. The fan could only keep the temperature from shooting up but was not able to bring it down, of course while the engine was still running. I never had any coolant overflow issue though, but I was worried the fan would damage itself owing to the longer running periods.
This issue was acknowledged by the svc too but they could not say for sure what was wrong. Coolant level was OK.
Last weekend I decided to wash the bike thoroughly.
The radiator was the first part I wanted to clean as it was not cleaned right through the Mumbai rains.
Only this time I took the radiator guard off to clean it thoroughly. And boy it had accumulated some dirt. Small pebbles and mud were lodged deep inside. It took me more than 2 hours to clean it thoroughly.

The fan now turns off within 2-3 minutes of turning on and I do see the temp bars disappearing rather how they used to before. So guys whoever has posted few pages back that even if the radiator is 70% covered in mud has been mislead by the svc.

A thorough cleaning every month at least is a must . Do it after unscrewing the radiator guard.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks bro!

Well, i think this is # 4! Lets see

HH Splendor -> RTR 160 -> P220 -> Rx135 -> Zma -> Avaitor -> Duke 200

only RTR, Zma and Avaitor are still with us, P220 & Rx135 were with me only for 5 & 3 months. RTR might be gone in a month or so!

Wanted a good bike which was close to RTR and with manageable power with burning a big hole in the pocket and the Duke was perfect, Highways, i have the Zma and have access to 220 and R15 whenever i want....so the duke

390 Duke would be one bad ass mad bike for sure! But 200 makes more sense to me in terms of my requirements.

hi frens,

i recently got my KTM Duke black serviced( first service) ... its running smooth now.
but there is one problem, earlier it used to give lots of grunt now its not giving any grunt... i feel i am riding a normal 200 cc and not KTM Duke...
it used to go to 130kmph easily and today it was struggling to go till 120kmph.

what can be the cause frens... please guide...
could it be that KTM service center guys have done its remapping.. and spoilt the acceleration.. or i am just being paranoid. .. .

please help..

Possibilities :

1) Most probable is that your clutch plate has 'gone', like in my case. The bike struggles to do even 120 in 6th gear with a damaged plate. But I am a little confused since you said that it's running smooth now. My bike used to scream when flogged beyond 8500 rpm in any gear but especially so in 6th. The engine would feel very harsh and the bike would actually feel like slowing down if you twist the throttle after 8500-9000rpm. Hunt for my previous 2-3 posts for a detailed description of the symptoms

2) Your Duke has indeed been emasculated by that infamous 'remap'(ohh I hate this word now). The grunt in low rpms is missing and the bike would not want to keep on leaping ahead after 125 as it used to and would only go till 132-133 kph.
Now to check if this is the case, either you can choose an appropriate road to test the bike characteristics near the top end and see if indeed the top end has been compromised.
Since this was your first service I assume you didn't rev it too much(or if you did then a seized engine is also one of the scenarios.) and you won't be very accustomed to the Bikes top end to spot the change.
So you can just twist the throttle in neutral and check the rpm indicator, which is a bar graph type graphics.
The new rpm indicator would show the bars going light black from 9500 rpm I guess, where as the earlier bikes had this separator at 10000 rpm(not too sure about this. Can anyone owning an old lot bike who hasn't been unfortunate enough to have gotten the remap confirm?


3) The usual suspects : tyre pressure, road incline, chain too slack etc etc


PS : since yours is a black one, doesn't it already have the new map with lowered limiter and a jerk free but unexciting bottom end?

well the other day i was riding and my malfunction light came on..but went off on its own later so i didnt think much of it..then two days ago on the highway it came back on and the bike cut itself off..(yes on the highway <_<) i wasnt going fast so it was k..but when i tried to restart the beast it didnt..i had to stop completely at the side turn the bike off with the key and then start up..it did but the malfunction was on..iv been busy with work and want able to get it checked out but yesterday it didnt happen and i rode 50+kms also sped up and there was nothing..whats happening? dirty petrol tank maybe? i use only bps speed for the bike but adulteration happens right? never used normal petrol yet..id rather walk than do that :P

Can anyone provide the link or the pdf version to the Service/Repair Manual of KTM DUKE200?

Thanks in Advance

May be a dirty fuel filter as well!

And what is this Remap i keep hearing about?

Other day i topped out my friends KTM at 134-135kmph and i thought the topend was 139kmph!

It was. Before. Not anymore. The new remap limits the top end to 132-134 something. Other tangibles like road condition and wind direction etc might push this up or down a bit.
Besides the fuel filter a dirty airfilter might also contribute to the bike loosing steam near the top end.

For the first time my Duke failed to start at the first attempt! After few tries, accelerated as well while pressing the start button and this helped. Post that it was ok all the way through. Have to check again now.
Any pointers on why it would happen so? Any trick to start the bike if it doesn't start?

Push start.
