Re: KTM 200 Duke

Revert to stock when you take your bike back to the SVC

Re: KTM 200 Duke

There are two types of adhesive.one is the normal one which to dry completely takes around 3-4 hrs.the other is called the "Fast curing paste".
With that paste it takes less time and can be dried within an hour.I think you got the fast curing paste when you had the issue.
All svcs doesn't have it.very few.Here in Bangalore the Khivraj Kasturba has it.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

They replaced it after I told them firmly that they will have honor the warranty [emoji6]

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hey Guys!

Just checked out a new D200 and noticed that the headlight switch is nullified from new motorcycles and the headlight will be on as soon as you switch the ignition on and wil stay on.

Just for everyone's information, learned this just today; thought i should share.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Apparently that is the only change between the 2015 and 2016 version... :P

Re: KTM 200 Duke

the common stuff used by mechanics is anabond or threebond gasket maker/sealant. this is usually the orange stuff.

ktm folks use a specific sealant that is made by loctite (marked something like 'made for bajaj'). bajaj themselves supply this to the dealerships. it comes in grey tube and the sealant is also greyish in color. it appears to be specifically made for use around rubber type of gaskets which are usually found around the valve cover area, whereas the orange stuff is used along(or in place) of paper gaskets (e.g clutch side or crankcase gaskets).

this loctite stuff seems to set a bit differently than the threebond gasket, in that it cures to a slightly flexible rubbery consistency (like a rubberband) while the threebond usually ends up a lot drier to the touch and is a pain to peel off if used excessively.

I have used both (the threebond/anabond on my rx) and their curing times is well under an hour.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Do you know any site where we can buy hand guards?
And which brake pads are good for d200

Re: KTM 200 Duke

For Handguards: AliExpress.com - Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles from China.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

You can Get the 390s handle bar, bar ends and the handguard.. All will come under 3k inr
I feel that the stock is more than enough ... They are sharp and they don't fade that quickly also they are somewhat cheaper..

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hello
I got my chain cleaned (OVS), lubed ( Motul) and tightened from SVC now no noise and it's smooth they charged me 420₹.
Where as I got big bottle of Motul chain lube and clean for 1000₹.
No sounds or anything.
Got it services from Mogappair KTM there a guy named Vignesh he is really cool in taking care of he machine and explaining things when ever we ask an doubt.
Is there anyway I can tight the chain ? DIY
I am cleaning and lubing the chain by myself from now. SVC price is absurd.

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

Yes hand guards 1200₹
390 Handle bar 800₹
But remember you have to source 390 bar ends which comes in two pieces. I am not able to source them past over a 1 month.
I got the hand guard and handle bar fixed somehow. But it needs " NEW MODEL" d390 bar end weights to fit properly.
If anyone can source these from there city I can pay u guys for that and the courier 😁

Re: KTM 200 Duke

How 2 piece? My svc guy says that the stock 390 handle guard would fit extremely well to d200 and said it would cost 750 INR in total. I felt that is way to cheap so felt quality would be not ok? So went for custom hand guards

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Happy to hear that you got the noise fixed...

I think 99% of the time it's the loose chain that creates that irritating rattling noise.

There are videos in YouTube to tighten the chain.
Also sending a pic for your reference.



I use a paddock for mine. It's better to buy a paddock stand... It will simplify the chain maintenance DIY.

You can contact/pm my buddy [MENTION=63234]paradoxr9019[/MENTION]. He can help you procuring a new paddock at dead cheap price.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Yea sure and thanks
Going for 800Km ride tomorrow with pillion.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hi,

I am relatively very new to this forum. I recently got KTM DUKE 200. Thanks to Samarth for helping me make this choice! (and I am loving it!)

Before I could write my review I noticed something on my bike's wheel yesterday. I am new to biking experience and I am not aware of many things so far. I know I will take time . So here's what I noticed on the rim on my bike's wheel - weight balances. I had seen it but I did not know what it is until my friend highlighted it yesterday. Before I call up KTM showroom where I purchased by bike from I thought of taking opinion from experienced guys here. They could easily fool me with some excuse may be.

So is it normal to have weight balance on the wheel of new bike?
Any other KTM Duke friend who had this on the time of purchase?

Attaching images.
