Re: KTM 200 Duke

Got my rear mrf tyre changed today in thane for 3.5k with fitting. As of now cant see any difference from the highly worn out stock ones. My old tyre was completely worn out, but i am facing some other problem. My front n rear tyres are seeing extra wear on either side of the centre. I had same issue with my p135 but it was due to bad rear shock absorbers on it. Has anyone faced similar issue in any of the bike? My left side handle is slightly tilted towards tank. Also while riding with pillion i always feel bike is tilting.

No i dont have pulling issue unless there is pillion. But i feel tilted while riding on some patches on highway and i mostly ignored it thinking the road is slanted, which in any case is but that should have wear only on one side not on both. For handle i will surely get it changed or aligned properly in this week.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hi all. I want to ask you something. Today i was cleaning my bike and i noticed that the back brake ( all the black mech with the bybre logo ) when i was cleaning it with a fabric it was shaking a little. Is this normal or my brake is loose and need to be tightened? If so can i do i by myslelf and if yes how?

unless you show me a video of the part that is shaking and to what extent, its difficult to tell whether its normal or not.
the rear brake is a 'floating caliper' type. i.e. one part of the caliper moves i.e. slides on a pin (which looks like a big bolt, this area is greased as regular maintenance to prevent the sliding caliper from sticking and to make sure it works smoothly)
the rear has pistons on only one side, and the other side pad is pushed towards the rotor by the movement of the caliper itself.

the front is a fixed caliper i.e. the caliper does not move and there are pistons on both sides of the caliper which press against both the brake pads.

just check the caliper mounting bolts and make sure they are tightened properly. cleaning the rubber boot and the sliding pin and applying a bit of grease once a year should keep it working well.

I will check it again tomorrow. It was night when i notice that and i didnt even find the bolts. It's more like a little play and not shake. After that i checked the front and it was solid... All i want to say is that the rear was not like that and i could feel and see a little movement.
The part that has this play is this

also clean the rim and take a close look around the edge of the rim for any bends.

the last thing that you could do is to have the tire unmounted and check the rim and tire for any damage around the bead seating area.

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

might.. just inspect the bead area thoroughly. and after mounting it, inflate it to 42 psi and keep it at that for a few seconds, and then drop it to 30.
nitrogen or air is not going give one drastic drop in tire pressures!

I went to the tyre dealer to get it checked. He also could not find any air leak or anything wrong with the rim. So he suggested to use liquid solutuin for tyre. After filling it tyre is holding air till now. I'll check for few days to see if works or not.

From what I know and have seen, a stock d200 will not cross 137~138 no matter how hard you rev or how high you shift up.. its cuts you off at 137~138.

Yes, on a stock duke.
And yes I own a 2012 model.
As a mattter of fact on seeing the replies, I now feel I must record itthenext time..

that's the entire caliper you have circled.. anyway, it's normal to have very little play of around 1mm if you hold the caliper and try to shake it. it is normal.. as I explained, the rear is floating caliper and not a fixed caliper like the front.

0. stock tool kit + a needle nose plier
1. set of levers (brake levers, clutch, gear lever+tie rod)
2. tubeless puncture kit (cost around 75rs) and a tire inflator (ResQTech Micro Tyre Inflator ( RSQ-AC101 )) --works very well, i own one.
3. Throttle and clutch cables
4. maybe a few extra fuses (there are already one set of spare fuses in the fuse box). cheap and easy to carry. some electrical tape and a meter of electrical wire.
5. Lubricants. At least a bottle (1 litre) of engine oil, a bottle or two (150ml x 2) of fork oil and chain lube spray.

Get your bike serviced at least a week before the trip and use the 10w50 oil (20w50 might not work optimally at those low temps)

That's all i can remember off the top of my head related to bike spares. And these will easily fit in a small bag.

They provide a wire with ring terminals, you connect this wire to the battery terminals and the other end of the wire has a two pin connector. the wire from the inflator has to be plugged in to this wire which is coming from the battery.
you can leave the wire connected to the battery and tuck it under the seat, and when necessary just plug in the inflator and when your work is done, unplug the inflator and put it in your bag.
And remember to keep the bike idling while using the inflator, otherwise you might end up with a low/dead battery.

It also comes with an extra wire with the cigarette lighter connector at one end and a two pin connector at the other, this can be used in cars and applications where you have access to a ciggy lighter socket rather than hooking it up to the battery.

Do check out their demo video from their website.
