    Ah, the wobble, a couple of things, could be the reasons

    Loose T stem, or too tight a T stem.
    Secondly inadequate air pressure in the front tire
    Worn coneset bearings and/or wheel bearings
    Improper tire wear due to worn bearings or inadequate tire pressure, means the tire wears in a certain pattern that above certain speed, the bike wobbles, more pronounced after 60 or 80 kph

    Cheers!

      Also when I go over a bumpy road, sometimes there's loss of power on the wheels, similar to what happens during rev limiter. My guess would be sprocket teeth is skipping a link but is it possible?
      I wouldn't advice you meddle with the front forks. They are amongst the best equipment you can find on any bike around here. Just maintain recommended front tire pressures and it should be fine.
      As for the symptoms you mention, only riding your bike will help me understand what's happening.. Or get your hand on another Duke and see if it behaves similar.

        Why do you want the tank pad ? Just for the looks ? Try to avoid the ebay tank pads.. some of them though might appear nice, their removal (or if they peel off for some reason) is a pain and the glue messes up the tank cover.

        In case you are thinking the tank pad is going to protect 'something', sadly its not. It's just a cosmetic patch on the tank cover. I've ridden my D200 for two years now and never felt the need for the tank pad. Did you know that the plastic (where you put the tank pad on) is only the fuel tank cover and not the actual fuel tank? That plastic fuel tank cover can be replaced for around 1100rs (yeh, cheaper than a tank pad)
        Wanted it mainly to protect the tank. But since the plastic cover is available for 1100/-, I see no point in investing 2040/- for the pad. I do hope you mean the orange plastic when you say fuel tank cover. Image attached.

          yes, that's exactly what the tank cover is and costs around 1100rs.

            So I got the infamous 0 speedo problem again. This time it shows 0 all the way up to 70kms/hr. It reads speed in between for a second and then 1 and back to zero. I assuming it is not stator coil as it is showing 0 at higher speeds and gears too. Any advice?

              Usually, it's the stator or the front speed sensor, either way getting them both checked and replaced is a good idea.

                I have an alarm, and that happens to me when is installed, if I put the OEM alarm connector ( no alarm) everything works ok I think is something with a ground

                    Yes, improper grounding both on the battery side and the chassis side does make the electricals misbehave.

                        I was traveling from Hyderabad to Vijayawada and wanted to test the top speed. I was on full throttle and when I reached 137 it was as if the fuel flow was stopped,when I closed the throttle a little bit it was normal. What do you guys think happened?

                          KTM Duke 200 has a 138 km/h speed limiter. Btw don't speed much on the duke particularly after drinking. A friend died today morning due to racing on the highway. Be careful esp with the RC bikes on which a lot of accidents occur.

                            Its not the bike's fault always remember "ride within your limits the bike has none"

                              nothing happened. that's normal. that's the rev limiter cutting you out and the top speed. you can't push a stock d200 past the 137~138 mark.

                                200 Duke cuts off the current to the spark plug at 138 kmph or so.
                                The result is, one feels like the fuelling has been cut off, because the fuel doesn't get burnt at all, and the torque reduces completely.

                                Guys, please be safe. 80 kmph is the new legal top speed for highways, and Xbhp recommends you stay within it. Even if there's no person or vehicle ahead, sometimes animals and birds cause accidents too.
                                Stay safe. Its in your own hands.

                                Its the console as per the KTM dealership of my city, its a common problem, which is not found in newer consoles from the company.
                                The console replacement, preferably within warranty, should solve this problem.
                                It happens with the Duke 390 mostly.
