1) grab ktm levers from svc
2) try aftermarket adjustable or non adjustable levers
3)straighten this bent lever with a blow torch and use these since i have no idea what the svc would charge me for levers.?

Option A. It's cheap and reliable.

Yeh, the lever do bend n break easily. I had to put my bike down gently and jump off at almost standstill pace and ended up with a bent front and rear brake lever.
For levers that are sold on ebay, the clutch lever is a direct fit but some juggad needs to be done for the front brake lever (asked a guy who had these levers)
I stuck to stock and had the levers replaced... the front brake lever was Rs.110 i guess and is a 2 min job to fit it.

btw are you sure the rear brake lever was not bent ? do take a closer look at it.

And am sure most of you might know this.. but yeah the 2015 model has revised bits n pieces compared to what was released in the last quarter of 2014. The D200 now comes with the RC grips, extra plastic fork protectors and i think a more cushy seat.. and better brakes (this was told to me by the showroom guy.. i had the rotor replaced under warranty cos it was glazed n making squealing noises after just around 2200 km, but have been happy with the brakes though)

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Has anyone installed the Extra Radiator fan shroud which comes pre installed on the newer Dukes on any older one??
Also, will replacing the Motul coolant with Engine Ice make the engine heat up less in Summer season(Checked with Motozone, Chinchwad they quoted me 2K for the coolant and cleaning the radiator with some sort of special material)??
It's getting quite hot here in Pune these last couple of days and the coolant temp goes up almost to the High Temperature level(just below last two bars) even after riding for 10 minutes or so in moderate city traffic..

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Can anyone post the prices of battery for duke and options like
1. Exide
2. Sonic
3. Amaron
I know prices will vary from city to city, but this will give us an idea as to what we can opt for in future.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hello All!

Posting here after a really long time. I was out of the country for 7 months and recently came back a couple of weeks ago. Had given my bike over to my friend for him to use, but he drove only 500kms in 6 months!

Came back, got the bike serviced in the first weekend itself, changed fork seals (had gone bust), front and rear brake pads, and general servicing. Bike is running butter smooth now (touchwood!). Took it to mumbai for a short ride yesterday, performance was fantastic, very minimal vibes at cruising speeds (~100kph).

Overall, very happy with my duke and looking forward to many more such pleasurable times!

Regards,

Re: KTM 200 Duke

hi guys, today while going to office my duke started showing "0" in the speedometer and soon after that it started showing low battery warning. I am confused is it a battery issue or stator coil has gone. Can anyone help what could be the issue. Thanks

Contacted ktm regarding the price they said it's 94rs and with tax costs would vary state by state. Got it installed.happily Sticking to stock. Regarding the price confusion they thought that I was talking about the rear brake lever too. :thumbup: . For a excellent and honest service at mysore.

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

did you try disconnecting the battery (both terminals) and putting them back after few mins, once my duke refused to start , cockpit dead stage , and there was no one i could borrow a battery from. disconnected the terminals and after a few mins put them back again , and it started.

Yes of course you can 'demand' to be given the new model. A simple way to identify the latest model would be to look at the handle bar grips (it will be same as the one from the RC) and at the font forks you will see an extra piece of plastic protector on the inside.. this is the 2015 model (manufactured probably late Jan or Feb onwards). It is also reportedly supposed to have 'better' brakes from what I heard from the guy who usually does PDI stuff at the showroom.

The previous model i.e. from around late Sept 2014 will only have the plastic protectors at the rear mono-shock and a radiator fan shroud.. while anything that does not have these is pre Sept 2014.. stay away from these two models.

Don't rush, just wait a few more weeks until they clear any of their old stock. Don't make any payment until then, and if you are making an advance payment just make sure to write down on the booking slip that "will accept only new model" and then sign
