Re: KTM 200 Duke

Finely I found a duke 200 2015 model and purchasing it for 80000/- but the bike is fitted with CEAT ZOOM 140 section rear tyre and front tyre is stock. the previous owner change the tyre after 15000kms. and now the ode is 17000km.
do I need to change the rear tyre to stock setting (150 section) immediately?

Re: KTM 200 Duke

You do not need to change to 150 size immediately.. 140 runs just fine on the 200.
But it's the tire itself, the ceat 140 is a hard compound (trust me when i say this) and even after another 8k km the tire will still show very little signs of wear. And it's not very inspiring in the wet. Make sure you keep recommended tire pressures.
You could use this tire for a while and then decide if you want to change it based on what you feel. In the 140, you have the michelin radial (costs close to 6k) , otherwise the stock 150 mrf revz c1 for less than 4k.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Hi bro,

I'm using Ixil hyperlow with baffles since the past 10 months. All I would say is that these Ixil's are not so loud... And nor does this draw any attention from the cops when you are beside them (Atleast not in Bangalore) provided u have the baffles on. I felt with the baffles hyperlow is louder than the stock exhaust but has a bassy tone. Without baffles... It is way louder and bassy. So it's up-to you.

I would recommend you to hear the different exhaust's in person before deciding.. As the YouTube video's are misleading in terms of audio quality.

From what I heard in person these are my suggestions in order of my preference:
1) Akra's are good to hear.. But way way expensive.
2) Ixil hyperlow. You can get it for Rs 17k also. And, sound pretty good for the price range for me atleast
3) Zard exhaust.
4) Ixil X55.
5) Leo Vince SBK II.
6) GPR exhaust.
7) Mivv Ghibli.
8) Leo Vince Cobra... I felt this let's too much sound. Patrrrrr. Cop magnet.

My humble suggestion.... Don't go for any mods like the holes on stock exhaust. You will ruin the exhaust and can never ever go back to stock if you decide later.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Thank you for the suggestion bro, this really helps. I am also inclined towards the hyperlow and it also looks good on duke. Btw where can i get for 17k, the best price i could find was 24k.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Greetings XBhpians and fellow Dukers,

I just made a booking for the 2017 Duke 200 at GEMS Bajaj / KTM Chinchwad yesterday. I got a PDI call today, but on reaching the location they said I could choose my bike and do a preliminary PDI (I had booked White) and the official showroom launch would be done within a week, along with the rest of the range.

Booking amt. is a minimum of Rs 20,000.
On Road Price is Rs. 161,440, inclusive of Zero Dep Insurance which is Rs. 4680.

Also new buyers please note, they're asking for a helmet invoice or you unnecessarily get charged Rs 800 (Some stupid RTO rule they claim)

Very happy to be a part of Club Orange. Looking forward to many miles and smiles on the beast.

Ride hard, ride safe.
Cheers

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Online you will get it for 24k only... For 17k I got the contact in Bangalore. Here is it:
[Name]Kushal-Adeshwar Helmets;
[Phone]98864 29330;

Tell him Jeshurun referred you. And ask him to ship it to you place... He should do it.

For installation.. See in YouTube/msg me and do it yourself. I fitted mine by myself in less than 3hrs... And it was fun

Re: KTM 200 Duke


It's not a stupid rule, in fact, it's required as most people have the moolah to purchase a bike, but not a helmet. The reason RTO requires a helmet invoice is to make sure the rider rides with the helmet on, of course it's a small step for a change. Rest assured, keep us posted with some good quality of your MY 2017 Duke 200

Cheers!

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Great, thank you for the contact. Will get in contact with him and update.[emoji106]

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Bangalore riders,
Which is the best service center?

Re: KTM 200 Duke

KTM Kasturba.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I had also booked 2017 ktm duke 200 from ktm NASHIK
I booked black and white colour
I have some questions about that bike
1) Is good for long tours and also for city riding?
2)Is the ESSAR fuel is comfortable for bike?(only that fuel pump is closer to my house)
3)Which oil will be suitable for it?

Re: KTM 200 Duke

It's definitely feels very compact and swift for city (traffic) riding.
Then again i speak with experience with my old duke 200 and 390.
Long tours have not been very un-comfortable as such.
About the fuel, I can't comment.
About the engine oil, don't bother about it as the service centers will do the needfull for the first 8500.

Ride Safe Ride Hard.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I also want best helmet under 2k
I like studds shifter d2 and d3
