yes it does .... per the manual the reserve is 1.5 ltr

once the Trip F comes to play just check the Distance to empty on the console, i had driven almost 40kms when the low fuel indiciator started and refueled the tank

Thanks Yogesh,
But where in the manual is it referred to as "Distance to empty" & not "Distance to reserve"

sorry misinterpreted.

but what exactly do you mean by "kms to filling station includes reserve amount of fuel or not?"

we would appreciate if you could share the cost of the sticker set, Tank pad and rim strips

hi yogesh, the sticker kit included the rim stickers, the stickers on the back cover, the stickers on the tank (the logo and the black and red ones on the lower side of the tank), on the spolier below and on the front fork. the cost was 68 euros which comes to around 4.400 rupees.

the tank pad i bought from my ktm dealer here.

Got my Crazy-Nomad a.k.a KTM's first service done today at Ghatkoper

The below items will be replaced by KTM once in Stock
- Rubber below the swingarm due to which the khat khat noise comes
- Petrol round lock part will be replaced (not the lock but the area below which has 7 or 8 bolts) Falty - once removed cannot be fitted again hence replacement is required

1. Rear tyre IMHO is really having good grip... Must get accustomed to the bikes braking... It's just too sharp at the front and rear

2. I personally doubt that... People have given good feedback about duke as a tourer... However, I d try once myself and decide after a long ride

3. Agreed, if we compare it with a city commuter (like spledor!!!) or a cruiser...But I felt it to be way better than other bikes in its class in case of pillion comfort...

4. Haven't tried more than 80kph leme get mine to rest it out

5. FALSE NEUTRAL BETWEEN 2nd and 3rd???
COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW... Just too curious :/

6. Agreed... I would have loved a console design such as karizma zmr but with the same details it shows now

Took delivery from the Kanjurmarg showroom last evening. Rode back along the eastern exp highway back to Thane, and was taking care to ride sensibly, exploring the entire rev range(<=7000rpm for now) in each gear without staying at any rpm/gear for an extended period of time. The engine temperature stayed at 6 bars throughout, and I could hear the fan coming on intermittently. The preload was set at setting 5, I would have preferred 7, as I am heavier, though the looser chain for other guys was just perfect for my weight. The sprint from 0-50 and 50-85kmph just makes it all worthwhile for now.
Notes:
1. Odo reading was 28kms when I took delivery.
2. Coolant level was halfway between MIN/MAX, and stays there.
3. Gearshifts are firm and confident, I did not face trouble getting to neutral (It works better when I downshift from 2nd to neutral).
4. The front brake bites hard, but only when panic braking. With controlled deceleration and engine braking in combination with front brake application, the bike can be slowed/stopped without drama.
5. Sales guy repeats the line "keep it at 6000 rpm and 60kmph till first service". In 4th gear at 6000 rpm, I was doing ~82-84kmph.
6. Move a little behind in the seat, and 2nd gear wheelies are easily achieved, found this out to my surprise (after gsferrari pointed it out). I don't like wheelies. Unless I am watching them on the telly.
7. Seat is firm and seating position perfect (for me).
8. Haven't used the rear brake at speeds >25 kmph. Didn't need to.
9. Mirror stalks need to be adjusted, nearly unusable until I reposition them.
10. After ~30 kms of riding (5 city, 25 highway), the console shows 36kmpl.

Sales experience:
Kanjurmarg KTM did not contact me when my balance payment was due. I called them and forced the issue.
They didn't contact me when my bike was due for delivery. I visited and forced the issue.
They did not call back and inform me the regn number provided by Thane RTO, I had to call repeatedly to follow up.
They insisted on delivery post 7pm, I visited and forced it to be at 4pm.

The sales guys have very little idea of what they are selling, simply mouthing off some lines by rote. Perhaps I only communicated with their B-team. Case in point: the 6000 rpm/60kmph line. Also, apparently the rider seat must only be removed by a service technician, we shouldn't fiddle with it. The cable tension, suspension preload, coolant topup etc all routine activities usually done at home, must be done by taking an appointment with the service center. I did not bother debating any of this with them, it was clear they were simply repeating what was probably a prepared script. One redeeming point in their favour, they recommended applying a motul chain cleaner after every 20 days of riding, but stopped short of actual instructions on how to do that. (on a bike with no center stand, sold by a showroom not selling paddock stands, you'd think they would have mentioned something, even marketed a paddock stand as an aid to cleaning the bike/chain etc).

I have no cause for complaint though, as I could clearly get my way each time, with a little soft talk and some velvet glove-iron fist stuff, so I rate them 6/10 overall. At least they had 2 guys at hand to clean the bikes, remove the plastic covers, rub off the chalk markings on the seats, set up the ramp, move the bikes etc, and those two guys were diligent, careful and effecient.

Looking forward to the next few hundred kms when I'll get to know the Duke more intimately. For now though, I've injected a lot of madness into my life

Will this be replaced for the new deliveries or will they be doing it only afte the first service is done ??

m not sure about the new ones, however currently the SVC guys do not have those parts yet, may be a months time.

u need to check the showroom guys if your lot is having the same issue or not
