    Xbhp is trying hard to promote and raise the awareness of riding in a safe fashion and according to traffic rules, and taking off the mirrors is a quite a serious step in opposite direction.

    I myself will be very vary and careful around any bike I see on a road without mirrors!
    Because I know such riders don't see anything behind them and not just that they are putting themselves in danger but much more, they are putting everyone around in danger due to possible sudden movements, be it yours or those behind you.

    Please, let us be good examples to others, and not bad examples.
    Thanks splus and ivin
    I will put back my Mirrors ASAP

    Cheers

          Please do post a pic of the bike with the cover on. I want to see the length of cover. I need one, but dont want it to touch the floor completely (since my parking spot floods a bit )

          And @hunkofgals

          Bruv, your mods are usually good, but that tail tidy was really sad.

            It's pretty long but doesn't touch the ground completely..
            But I'm a bit worried if it would get damaged if I put on the cover after a long ride with a hot engine and nearby parts..
            Will post a pic tomo ASAP

              There's a golden rule: "Always let your bike cool down after a long ride", so dont cover it immediately.

              Cheers mate!

                    • Need help regarding tyre options for KTM Duke 200.

                      Hi Guys,

                      This is my first post here! I am planning to buy new tyres for KTM Duke 200 as I am not really satisfied with the grip MRF stock tyres provide.

                      I am not confident enough to ride the bike in the rains as it skids when I apply rear brake. (Never tried the front disc, as I learnt its not advisable to use the front disc while riding in the wet road condition)

                      I downloaded a PDF (regarding tyres) from KTM - Ready to Race which recommends the following brands and size (I am excluding MRF stock):

                      Front: 110/70 17
                      Rear: 150/60 17

                      Metzeler Sportec M5 interact
                      Pirelli Diablo Rosso II
                      Michelin Pilot Power

                      The above tyres are a straight fit for the Duke 200. But I am only able to find Metzeler M5 in India from the aforementioned tyres. I found a Pirelli Sport Demon in India, which meets the OE size.

                      Now Metzelers are costing me Rs.24000 approx for the pair, while Pirelli sport demon is almost the half the price of Metzeler. Which one should I buy?
                      Or any other suggestion will be appreciated. (If I have to spend Rs.24000 on a pair of Metzeler, I am hoping to get at least 15000 (or preferably more ) kilometers. I know they wear out soon being soft compound tyres.)

                      Please help me. It's driving me crazy as I am not understanding what to buy.

                      My requirements: (I mostly ride on city roads, but also go on highways every weekend *I enjoy high speeds*)
                      Excellent road grip, safety at high speeds from a tyre point of view
                      Fairly good performance in wet conditions
                      Fairly good tyre life, will be happy if it justifies it's cost

                      I live in Pune, so if you could help me with the addresses of dealers would benefit me.

                      Thank You.

                          I heard that it would be made available in about 3months and would be priced at around 28k. Don't know if the information is fully accurate. But at 390 launch even the manager told me it's gonna come soon.

                              Im witnessing a little problem on my Duke and it goes as this. When i twist the throttle hard the engine instead of giving nice surge of power as it usually does, isnt doing so. The engine misses few power and bike slows and then picks up after a second. This all happens quickly. Bike has done 11000kms. Is it the FI that needs to be cleaned. And after how many kms did any of you guys had your clearences/shims adjusted.
