Just saw the post going through old posts. Is it true the mannual tyre pressure values are wrong?? So the swingarm ones are correct?? I cant find that part of swingarm where its written. And how do we know if the mannual one is correct or the swingarm ones?

Took a fall today. Speeding down a steep slope and unable to take proper turn. (My SRs came into action). Hit the sidewalk in a dirty area "filled with garbage and black goo" :/
Bikes skidded along with me and fell to the right. Was able to save myself by keeping balance on my Palm (now scratched palm). Picked up the bike, turned it off, turned it on, lowered the gears (was on 6th gear, didn't realize), ignition was stuck, wiggled it a bit and good to go. Rolled the throttle in, and sped away with passers by looking at me.

Time to give the bike and myself a wash. Bike was stinking a lot, and I am sitting in the office, stinking a little (or maybe I just think that I am stinking not sure). Will take a half day and look for a bike wash place.

Am yet to check on the bike's exterior if it's Ok. I just parked it and came in office without looking at bike (Guess I am afraid to find out something damaged or missing)

P.S: Anyone knows of a good bike wash place near Ghatkopar or Powai in Mumbai?

@Edd - shit luck, mate. Hope you & your bike ain't seriously hurt.

The bike's been running quite normally for the last couple of days; no major issues luckily. I'm yet to get the dented/broken parts replaced/straightened. SVC says I'll have to leave the bike at their's for 3-4 days in case I'm claiming insurance. Can't quite understand why it would take this long when there aren't too many parts that need repair/replacement. The mirror and left side crash guard will surely need to be replaced from what I see. The clamp (silver portion below the headlight assembly; if I've understood it right, called triple clamp ASS from Doga's mail) that holds the fork, appears mostly alright, with only the handle bar limiter/metal stop (a 1cm protrusion from the surface) having gotten knocked off. If it were a local mechanic, a quick weld would probably do I'd imagine. The mechanic who'd come to repair the bike said the SVC will mostly not weld the piece and look at replacing the whole clamp if I insist. I'm in a dilemma here. The lock seems to work fine now. The handlebar turns (turning radius, I mean) a little extra to the left than earlier and this is the only visible difference I can see so far. Will it cause any safety concerns if the clamp is left as it is or would it be advisable to get it replaced? In case of replacement, would they have to remove the fork/front assembly and put it back again? I'm a little paranoid about them doing this and hence the dilemma.

@Manu: zero claim bonus? Hmmm, haven't heard much about this yet; will check.

@Syed, Ankit - I've been using 25+29 for singles and 25+32 for doubles (per page 91 of the manual). Has there been some revision to this?

Quite weird changing spark plugs at every service. Apart from technical aspects i think KTM recommendations for the SVCs to change the spark plug at every service may be to extract very best out of the engines. I guess!!

Just Got my new Dukie from Khivraj motors Bengaluru, and here is the experience of becoming the owner of this young lady (Without taking any test drive... Thanks to XBHP for providing lot's of information).
I sold my old Pulsar 150cc (Had wonderful moments with her) and I was waiting to get Duke 200 ABS version, but I spoke to Pune dealers and got the information that It will take 6 more months. So immediately I changed my mind and booked one Dukie for me.
Payed the amount and went for selecting the bike. I felt like Swayamwar with all the hot models standing in front of me to choose them .
Then I kept my hand on the authentic KTM (Orange one) confirming that I selected her (The main attraction was the BYBRE name mentioned on the brakes is in silver color but for few others, it is in Black color and also the chasis no. ************007 ). Done the paper work and asked them to get my darling ready to take her home.
From my previous posts, I read that Teflon coating is for free. I asked the same, but guess what, disappointment.... it's chargeable(Teflon coating (1+1) & 3M scratch guard film at tank = 1560/-).
Please let me know whether I got cheated for this?
After that... Chakkas... The Bike is a stunning beauty now. I asked to check all the oil levels and the coolant as well.
After that I got some demo from Ravi, the KTM engineer I suppose. Thanks XBHP for providing lot's of information before, I felt like an Front bench student asking all the questions to him and got some good recognition from others. I learned all about the Cockpit and adjusted the RPM from 5K to 7.5K.
The same day I got a new Helmet LS2 FF 350 for 2.6K in JC road.
Along with the petrol coupon they give, I filled 2- liters of Speed petrol and headed towards my home. The first riding was totally new because of the seating position. The traffic was huge, so the radiator started its job blowing hot air on my legs (Now I got used to it).
No problem so far, but the tires are very slippery (be careful for the first few hundred kms).
After reaching home (Around 20 Km from showroom), everyone started asking questions on my bike(How much?, Which company?, What is the name of the bike?, Is it an imported one).
In the night, I took a 10 km ride and filled the tank with Shell Super unleaded petrol and went back home.


But still I miss few things in my bike when I start comparing with P200 NS.
* Bar end sliders,
* Tidy tail,
* Front number plate mounted under the headlight or a better place,
* Sound...


But Duke is Duke no doubt in it. It's worth each & every penny. It still has many options to alternate(Powerparts).

Thanks for reading it patiently. Pics will be coming soon along with some awesome experiences with my Baby Duke.

Has anybody Installed any aftermarket EXHAUST for their KTM duke 200?
Please send a pic ..video and price details if possibble
thanks
