Re: KTM 200 Duke

Depends on how tall you are...if your like 6ft or more, you might find it cramped. Especially for longer rides... But it's a matter of opinion, so go get astride a duke and see for urself! Alternatively, you could wait for the RC range that's set for a September launch as it has slightly diff ergonomics...

If the leak is within 10,000Kms from the last repair and your bike is within warranty, then I think it will be covered under warranty.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I did take it to the SVC but they said it will take 2 days because of other dukes waiting for service . Apart from display bike is running fine . I will take it to the SVC this saturday and get it fixed . What could be the reason though ? I think that day bike got really hot and that could be the reason .

I think bajaj can give never give quality and reliability like Honda and Kawasaki .

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Well I'm 6'4" and yes I did get on a duke to see how it fits. I didn't feel cramped as the bike was really light and was a joy to sit on. I don't know about long rides though since that can only be resolved by taking it for a spin. That's a problem since there is like 1 Duke in my town.

I can wait for the RC range as well and then decide what I must get.

Due to my height a lot of bikes just look like toys in my hands, so test fitting is a must. [emoji2]

Anyway Thanks Guys!

Re: Issue Alert

I face issues of random stalling. No particular pattern. Once when i revved the bike till redline and left the throttle, the engine stalled. Once when i revved hard and came to a stop, it stalled.

Still all these happen randomly.

Re: KTM 200 Duke



Any leads on those suspensions would be a great help. !!

Re: KTM 200 Duke

If I remember correctly, I've seen quite a few of the mods done from the Hero Impulse which are a direct with some little add-ons. I happen to read about this guy elsewhere, where the guy had this setup for sale. But again, disclaimer, would be this exact setup I am referring to "might" be different from the one you've posted. The mod I am talking about was done on a Duke 390.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Nobody is sure as to what the reason is, it had happened to me, and recently to my friend on his way to Kashmir from Kanyakumari, and I know a couple of other guys here also had the same issue. Mine was changed under warranty, and if you were to pay for that, it would cost around 4k including half liter of engine oil that you have to top up. Yes, I too wish they had put some more thoughts into quality.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

This is a Duke390 too. The tank is diff though. This is Mohit Verma the rally guy. Saw his pic over KTM's page and his recent victory at Dakshin Dare.
Saw the suspensions hence went curious. At first i thought that would be Impulse's but they arent.
Just asking because those suspensions would come in handy converting a duke into a adventure tourer.

Re: Issue Alert


Sounds like an issue with the throttle bodies, only thing that can cause random stalling, otherwise you have a malfunctioning fuel pump but I doubt that

Ankit just use your RX for the offroading :P

Impulse forks are not a direct fit and you will need to make couplings to make them fit into the stock T-stem

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Not sure if this will be considered OT but since I plan to upgrade to the RC once it is released, I can't help to think that there is so much more to get out of our little pocket rocket.

As usual I do not plan to make any changes to the stock map but I do plan on playing around with the camshafts.

Maybe shave off about 1mm to get more lift.

I wanted to know if anyone here has already experimented or if you guys can get me in touch with someone who has some sort of experience with this.

What I hope to gain is the engine pulling harder in every gear, without throwing the whole cam and timing setup out of balance.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Thanks a lot!!!!

Re: Issue Alert

Keep in mind the rake angle and the chassis setup itself "should" be considerably different, though, I'd probably be disappointed to see, those Pulsar crazy fans, who converted their 180s and 150s to 220 fairing setup repeat for the Duke series.

Secondly, when you "shave" you reduce the lift, increasing the cam lobe length you get more lift, and remember you have two cam shafts, and the timing must be precise, and take into consideration the FI system needs to be fiddled with, since this is closed loop system and any discrepancies in the intake and exhaust volume is constantly monitored the ECU and calibration might deem necessary, which is a different tale altogether. So bottom line, it's a lot of homework, but I'd suggest unless you know what you're doing, don't fiddle with the cam shafts.

Yes as I've stated previously, the example I referred to was a person who modded his Duke 390 using Impulse parts with modifications, so it might be a direct fit with these modications (well duh!) as stated by the person. But if an enduro version of the 390 hits the market, boy it's gonna have good response.

Re: Issue Alert


Sir, I already have fiddled with the cam a bit, the lifter springs have been modified so that I do get a more precise burn, also I have a slightly modified clutch basket that lets me change gears more quickly compared the stock, I do not plan to put on a fairing, my mantra is sleepers, they need to look stock all the time, the expression on peoples face is priceless. However this will be my first FI engine I will be working on, the reason I need some pointers or at least someone who has had experience is tuning FI engines.

Re: Issue Alert

Very good to know that PB. But this indeed is a good topic to watch out for. Clutch springs and lifter springs harder than stock yields in little performance bump, and can be tinkered with. But again all the best
