Re: KTM 200 Duke

Duke's chain set was a direct fit on one of P220s in our group. So the mounting points should be same.Will sure get this done during second service. I am not a fan of huge top end anyways.

SplitFire Sparkplugs for KTM

I recently came across SplitFire sparkplugs and I was thinking whether they would increase performance on my Duke 200?
Also, I've heard that installing reduced battery life, is it true?

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Sorry guys but the D200 front sprocket does not match the 390's. The main shaft design is different. This was one of the first things I looked into after getting the 390.
Ridding the 390 in traffic and shitty roads with stock gearing is a pain. Will have to look to Ebay.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I might be able to help you. What is the shaft like? Is it bigger, or are the grooves on the shaft wider or slimmer?

Took a test ride of D390 today and I too felt it could have done with a bit more low end torque.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

This is the milling used in the 390.




The 200 milling, same as the p220.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Thanks a lot man, this would definitely help a lot of guys.
If you are able to find a 14t replacement for the 390 keep us posted. I really want one.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

No problem, Iv got a friend in the U.K and will probably get him to send one to me. Something I found while searching for the sprocket is a bit confusing, on all the foreign sites advertising sprockets for the Duke 125/200/390/690 all showed the same milling and fitment. Are the Indian production models somewhat inferior to the ones being exported ?

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Do confirm this before you get yourself a sprocket. Best would be to check it on your owm bike and match it with the pic.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I have opened the cover and checked that the milling is indeed (for lack of a suitable word) international Spec. Its just that the D200 sold in India has the same main shaft design as the P220.

There goes my plan for 50 rupee power wheelie

Another option is Dirt Bike Renthal Front Sprocket | MotoSport India

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hi, I was wondering if :
1) anybody has upgraded the D200 with ABS, is it possible ? heard that the new D200s have option of ABS. Mine seem to have the provision to fit one.
2) Also what would be a good location to fit a cigarette lighter socket for connecting GPS or Mobile charger? will it harm the battery during run?
thanks

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Came back yesterday from a weekend at Kari Motor Speedway. Had a mega fun time. I thought MRF tyres would be pretty bad for the track (and was planning to get them swapped out for Metzelers) but they were easily good enough for my current skill level and I was regularly scraping shoes and footpegs at every other corner. So, anyone looking to get Metzeler tyres for the bike, I can confirm that you really don't need them for dry roads at least. Rode the bike in bone stock condition (with tyre hugger and saree guard no less ). I had no trouble keeping up with race-spec R15s on the track and @sonu611 was even faster.

On a sidenote I had installed the racechrono app on my phone to log my on-track data, but I chickened out thinking i'll wreck my (quite new HTC One) phone if I were to have a crash. But then just before my last session out, I figured that I could strap my phone securely in the underseat compartment, where the toolkit is strapped by default. Something to keep in mind for anyone planning to do a trackday on the Duke.

Some of the data from my last session (stock bike, 100kg rider, first trackday experience) :

Best Lap : 1:31:27
Optimal Lap : 1:29:79
Top Speed : 129.3 kph
Max Lateral Acceleration : 2.34G

Re: Duke 200

So... After a long time I came back to thread and covered the posts from where I left.
So much of arguments on their technical "Knowledge", but most of the times it was like Quantum physics for me.
So to give some relief from the technical part, I thought of bringing you guys back to the visuals.
I already posted the same in FB, but couldn't able to resist to post them here. Sorry for the poor quality of Images.
Please enjoy the new Avatar of my bike.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Belated reply : Actually Goa means only a place of revelry for most I'd imagine. So studying there should be difficult no with so many distraction.
But now that I think of it, Goans don't really look at Goa in the unidimensional way we do!
