Oops :P Wrongly interpreted ! My coolant level was just a little below thew max mark :P I meant they just have to add some 5 ml coolant for reaching the max mark.Are they going to charge for the entire coolant?
And whoa! Nearly Half of my commute are on highways ,would that affect my chain life?why?

Completed 30k kms recently.The bike has been doing fine generally after the last service barring one thing. The ride quality. It's a bit bone jarring surely aided by the decision of the mech to change the rear shock setting to 7 The bike just keeps on jumping up and down. Also the forks appear too stiff. I can feel the front bouncing a bit on braking. I started to notice this after the service . I had instructed the mech to replace the oil in both the forks while he patched the left fork seal, so that the damping is kept balanced. May be this has a bearing on the stiffness. The fork action is not smooth too. I mean it can be stiff or spongy but it's not gradual. This is noticed the most, as I said under braking. I am not sure which grade oil they put in the forks.
All of this has been contributing to not so confident cornering. I am not able to feel the traction levels properly and having difficulties leaning on the same corners I used to do before with ease(no Rossi stuff, regular minimal leaning ones ). This may also be due to the slight bend I have on the front rim.
I'd definitely get the rear shock back to 5 or 6.

But how do I fix the forks?

Also should I go for a rim replacement or do I go try getting it fixed? Since the bend is not pronounced I doubt the insurance agent would clear the claim.

Oh and btw, warranty gone !!

Hey Guys! three weeks back I got my hands on a brand new shining Duke 200
Done with first service in a weeks time and a 1000 km ride (to and fro) to my hometown in konkan.
Absolute bliss to ride this machine in ghats!

Now some issues I am facing:
1. Since day one I am facing an issue with headlight, if the headlinght switch is in ON position and engine is started, it doesn't just light up!!
During 1st Service I had complained about this and SVC just changed headlight switch on handlebar, problem was solved for some days but it's back now.

2. Everything was alright, till last night. There's some tik-tik sound coming while riding. there's no such sound if bike's idling at standstill.

Anyone has faced such issues? Pls help.

Could be rain or waterwash playing spoilsport with the electricals. My duker friends had faced something similar.

Both my front and rear tires are now almost "tired" after 11200 KMS of use.
Now my next options would be to just replace them with the same or one of the following.
Please suggest the best of them if any of you have used them on their bikes
Pirelli Sport Demon 140/7- /150/70
IRC RX-01 140/70 / 150/70
MRF Revz C
MRF Revz S 150/60
MRF Zapper Vyde
Michelin Pilot Street 140/70
Michelin Pilot Sporty 140/70
Width section I'm looking for is 150/140
As you can see I'm totally confused... Metzelers are out of range due to obvious reasons..

SVC charged me labour fee of Rs.450 on First free service?
Have anyone else also been charged?

Labour is free under free service...

Hey all fellow Dukers....
Took Delivery of my Black Monster on Friday 30th May 2014..... Was going out of town on the weekend so could not go for any runs over the weekend. Got the customary pooja done today. I am not going to write any elaborate reviews, not because I am lazy or anything, it's just that I dont look at riding a bike in such detail. as long as the ride is fun and the bike is performing well I am happy... One thing that I should say, it's such a blast to ride this Monster....Duke 200 just is so much fun, and milage is good too.. It is showing me an average of 34 kmpl as of now on the instrument cluster... I will end with this and maybe once I have done some good touring will post my travelogues.
