    What is the engine rpm at 80 km/hr in 6th gear?

It's irritating when I brake in crawling traffic at slower speeds. Tried cleaning the disc pads regularly with break cleaner, wiped it dry and still; hard luck. So you can try these and check if that fixes the problem. In case if it still persists, changing the disc rotor is the last resort(which I'm yet to try).
      I'm going to wait and see since my bike is very new and the brakes need to settle down as the noise is not so often. It occurs rarely and only at very low speeds.
      Learnt from my Firefox cycle. It's brakes were too squeaky, louder than horns. But as time passed, the squeakiness reduced and now no squeaking.
      I think waiting till 1k kms may help.

        I think it'll be been 6k-7k.. I'm not sure cuz my bike is still in its break in period. But it does 60kmph in 5k rpm-6th gear.

          Really?

          I am a bit surprised about it being 60 at 5K rpm in 6th gear. I know the gearing is short but this much?

          I am comparing it with my Pulsar 150 and my friend's Pulsar 180 which does:
          • 50 kmph, 5th gear, 4K rpm and
          • 58-59 kmph, 5th 4k rpm respectively.

            They're all tall geared five speed bikes. Their first two gears are normal and the last two tall geared and the fifth one being extremely tall. That is the reason why they won't reach the redline in fifth gear due to low power and tall gearing whereas the duke hits the limiter at 138kmph easily.

              If i want to switch to 40T Karizma sprocket at the rear..should i buy the karizma chain as well or use the Duke's chain itself?In am trying this to make the duke more relaxed and highway friendly.
              Go for 200ns rear sprocket only without change in chain. Its a perfect fit. I've never found duke so relaxed on highway. Go for it mate.

                Thanks Khalsayash for the input.I read that its a 39T from the 200NS.How many links did you have to remove from the chain?How is the in-gear acceleration?I know it wont be the same,but hope its not too laid back either.Are you able to cruise at 115-120kmph?

                  Nothing to worry about this mate. I also own a duke 200 for almost know 3 years. The noise from the front disc can be because of wearing of pads but as you said you just did 540 kms then get it checked. The other things like noise from chain and vibration from engine in not to worry about( just make sure the tension of chain is right)Even i found these things in my bike. I have done 15000kms and the bike is doing great. I also did leh,ladadk on the duke and and it performed very well. No problem at all.
