Re: KTM 200 Duke

Ok will put my mirrors tomorrow when going to show my gear shifts clank clank noise in the SVC..

Re: KTM 200 Duke

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.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

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

Re: KTM 200 Duke

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

Cheers mate!

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I do spend a couple of minutes looking at her after the ride😊😊
Till she cools down a bit doin it's tick tick tick sound near the exhaust when cooling down..😊

Re: KTM 200 Duke

tick tick tick...is normal, nothing to worry

Re: KTM 200 Duke

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.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Has any one here heard if the Abs unit will be made available for the duke 200? Any info regarding the price will also be appreciated.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

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.

Thanks mate... Was hoping it would less than that. But you can't have everything I guess

Re: KTM 200 Duke

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.
