    Guys, My duke just died few days back, would not start. No power to console, brake lights, indicator lights. The supply from ignition switch is fine after that no power distribution. Fuses are all OK. Connectors in headlight housing all ok.. Battery voltage is 12.xx. Have not checked kill switch. I have noticed that even with kill switch off brake lights and indicators should work which is not the case now.

    Diagnosis and fix.

    The wire(s) had broken off at this place (see pic). Keep a check as this tends to bend with steering movement. Do keep checking for wear if possible because from outside we cannot know if wires get worn out.
    Janesh: This seems to be an endemic problem, Last month when I went to service my bike; I saw a number of almost brand new dukes standing that had come for the same treatment. Keeping an eye on the wires now.

      Folks have any idea how better are the rolon ones??

      Mine is currently 6.4k kms and I guess I may need a replacement sooner than I expect (10k!!)

      I think its not the quality, but the maintenance of the chain thats causing so much trouble. Ever since Nilesh and Amit showed me how to take care of my chain, I got the paddock and make it a point to adjust and clean the chain atleast once in 15 days.

        Chinmay!, I do perform regular cleaning n lubing of chain every 350/400 kms that is every once a month, cos I get to ride only12 kms a day, With the exception of lubing it just before going on a 100+ kms ride...

        Also I use excess of engine braking, may be that is adding it to the premature chain wear off..!?

          I think apart from that it will also help if you learn to adjust the chain your self. The steps are outlined in the manual and is pretty easy. Lubing, cleaning and adjusting chain yourself might help.

            At 6.2k kms on odo my chain slider was replaced as it had worn out pretty well n chain was adjusted.

            Despite that I keep hearing khat-khat sound and some harsh sounds like something is rubbing at higher rpms (only) like upwards 8k rpm...

            What is it I'm facing?
            Can any somebody shed some light?

              Make sure that the front sprocket is clean.

                Make sure that the chain has right slack. Also, the khat -khat sound maybe coming from the rear side of the bike and not from chain. When does the sound come? while ridiing or while passing over a pothole or speedbreaker?

                Cheerz!!
                The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

                Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

                  Dude, I find it difficult to understand how that fixes up the aforementioned issues. Can you be a bit elaborative? Sorry for my lack of ability to understand!

                  Sound when ridden over a pothole is commonly heard and I'm sure in my case its not just in that scenario, sounds from rear Yes!, Slackness I'll recheck again...

                  But, what about some rash "rubbing against something" sound thats heard at higher rpms??

                    I used to get weird noises from my bike at certain rpms and also when ridden over potholes. It was really annoying, I used to think that its from the dashboard or the light assembly but finally I figured out that its from the sprocket. I removed the front sprocket cover loosening three bolts and allen key using the tool kit provided and found that its accumulated with dirt and grease. I just cleaned it using diesel and a brush and lubed it and the sound disappeared. Just try this and let us know if that fixes Your issue.

                      The only sound "rash" i can think of is the chain sliding on chain slider or the noise from tyres. Also, check whether the chain is cleaned and lubed. I feel the chain is culprit.

                        Definitely will try both cleaning and lubing both front, rear sprockets and chain. I find no sounds made by tyres.

                        Will keep you guys posted as to what the above actions resulted in...

                        Thank you Ri$hi and devils_friend

                          Regarding the issue with the chain, the problem is not with the quality of the chain itself, but of the rubber slider and maybe the front sprocket. I used to religiously lube the chain @ 500 km and adjust slack @ 1000 km, but despite this, the whole lot had to be replaced at 13000 km.

                          Also it's a good idea to replace just the slider, clean the front sprocket and (obviously) stick to the regular maintenance schedule.
                          All the answers to the chain problem have been posted in the last few posts in bits & pieces by different users.
                          You'll be amazed by how much muck is collected on the front sprocket.

                          But yeah, even after riding with a brand new set (slider, sprockets, chain) whenever I go over bumps at speed, I hear that thwack.

                            how do you get the bike to sit on that stand? you gotta lift it? is the stand strong enough to get the chain cleaned with engine running?
                            Never clean the chain when the entire is running.
                            It is dangerous. Always turn the wheel with hand and clean the chain.

                              hello guys
                              one of my friend is looking a replacement of his rear sprocket
                              his bike is from 1st lot with 44T sprocket
                              he is looking for a 45T ot 46T sprocket
                              he needs more acceleration as he uses the bike only in the cities and doesn't hit the top much

                              so which bikes would be a direct fit
