Yep me too, i also did a couple of svc in seewoods but now i prefer thane and Rajesh is the best guy over there he is very co-operative and listens to the issue well and he is the main mechanic over there

The threadlocker liquid is there to prevent the bolts from undoing itself due to vibrations. Not really a necessity, but if you want the threadlocker, you can use a drop on the threads of the bolts on the crash protectors, and screw it in, this way the bolt is secure and gives you peace of mind. There are no torque specification on every crash protectors out there. But as a general rule, make sure you use a good quality wrench, especially if it's an allen key bolt type and torque it in as much as you can to the point where it wouldn't tighten or screw in more. Slight over-torquing is better than an undertorqued nut/bot.

Make sure you don't go overboard and over-tighten, once the threading stops, just apply some extra pressure than normal, once or twice and you're ready to go, do this for all the bolts of the protectors. Don't worry, you won't fall even if those things undo themselves.

Ok will try not to over over over tighten because the last time i did that i broke the bolt of oil filter.
are you sure that this bolt is not holding the wheel?

It's definitely better to use a thread locker (one good and common brand is LOCTITE), but make sure you use only the blue colored one which is a medium strength and used in places where future disassembly will be required and keeps the bolts from loosening out.

[MENTION=82829]ivan1985[/MENTION], no the bolts holding the axle are totally different form these frame slider bolts, so you need not worry about that. Just make sure you torque these protector bolts a teeny tiny bit extra. But if you are apprehensive still, then you can use threadlocker or LOCTITE, and use a drop on all the bolt threads and then torque them. This way, the bolt stays put and doesn't loosen itself, this is if you are apprehensive about the protector bolts. But in my experience I haven't seen any protector bolts become loose.

(amazon link ) Roots Windtone Classic Horn Pair (12V): Amazon.in: Car & Motorbike

happy honking,

if you guys have any doubts just send me your queries along with a picture and ill help you guys as much as i can ..

Thanks Plexus ,

I have installed my Horn with same wiring details as you instructed and also fitted a plastic 3 way switch (to switch between horns).

And i brought Hella Horn a bit of 10 cm dia i think whew the biggest horn is what i asked the shop keeper and with loud sound

, exactly don't know the DB level & watts ( i will check and let you know tomorrow).

Hella is like a hell very nice duel horn i bought the pair with relay for 1500Rs with all fittings wires and sleeves even with switch.

Its worth it i hope.

And fitted myself kept both the horns inside the small crash guard ( fully occupied because of size).

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hey guys, curious question, what is the top speed you've guys hit on your dukes? Ive heard it to be 137 when the rev limiter kicks in.

I do 135 to 137 almost everyday, that too when am not reving the bike smoothly.
Also on reving it correctly I have touched 146 too.

My best with my D200 is 137 then the rev limiter kicks in and i guess this is for all unless you have changed the maps or got a piggy from RD

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I was going through the review of RTR 200 on overdrive and found this statement

In gear acceleration is strong through the bottom and mid rev ranges. And thanks to this, the riding experience is a lot calmer. Unlike the 200 Duke, for example, you do not need to keep the engine on the boil continuously.

You can stay at comfortable RPMs and then just twist your wrist to get power.

Can any D200 owners clarify what exactly are they referring too?

Edit: Added another sentence.

yeh, its the same across all the 200's.
you could easily change the sprocket ( bigger front or smaller rear, at the expense of a slower pickup)and more importantly unplug one particular connector that eliminates the speed limit to achieve higher speeds.
the other method is to go for a remap

I can't say for sure without riding the apache 200. Rather than go with just someone's review, i'd say you ride both these bikes to know/feel for yourself.

from the quotes you posted, in lay man terms it probably means something like 'you can stay in 5th gear at 45kmph and twist the throttle to surge ahead without downshifting to 4th' .

in my experience, you have to work the first three (or maybe 4) gears on the duke 200 a bit (i.e. keep the bike at higher rpms over 5000rpm) to move fast. around 6000rpm is the sweet spot on the 200 for good torque/acceleration.. but it does pull from around 55kmph in 5th gear too, but not as 'quick' as say if you are doing 65kmph in 4th shifting to 5th.

Able to use higher gears at lower speeds without engine knocking and can accelerate without the need to change to a lower gear.
