Re: KTM 200 Duke

Wanted to know which one of these provides better protection against windblast and also which is stable and doesn't vibrate.

• CBR 250 Windshield or
• Aliexpress Double Bubble black

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Turns out my D200 is PITA in stator section. I'm on my third stator coil in about a year and it's gone bad too. The Speedo is showing zero when headlight is on and there is no acceleration. My bike is completely stock and I fail to understand why the stator goes bad so often. I ride everyday around 100km and am a pretty much sane rider. No hard acceleration whatsoever.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Is there a possibility that your bike is running low on engine oil, thus causing the stator coil to burn out? How often do you check the level?

Reason is asked is the main cause for stator coil failure is heat, or overheating of the engine. If engine oil level is low, or low quality, it may cause the premature failure of the coil.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I service it periodically at 5k kms and I always ask mechanic if oil level was ok every single time. Coz my p135 suffered a lot coz of my carelessness. Isn't the low oil pressure supposed to come up in case oil is less? Asking coz I have never faced this thing in past.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I don't think low oil is going to trigger the low oil pressure error. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

How many kms have you clocked yet on your 200? Asking coz a daily drive of 100 kms. Would love to read about long term reliability aftr 40k.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Has anyone retrofitted the D390's ABS system on their 200? Or got a system from elsewhere?

How much does it cost (parts+installation)?

Asking for a friend

Thanks in advance
Cheers

Re: KTM 200 Duke

If you haven't changed your regulator rectifier I would suggest change that in the first place. Because a third time just the stator replacement means your RR cannot be ruled out for not having problems. RRs can cause stator failures. If you haven't changed your RR, try changing the RR with stator one last time, replace your engine oil top it up to the right level. The stator is in oil bath, to keep it cool.

The cost involved in getting the mounting and the wiring done in the 200 isn't worth the money, you'd probably end up spending more than the standard fitment. First off, if my memory serves me correct, you need to get the wiring changed, this includes wiring kit, speedo console, fuse boxes, ABS Module, the wheel ring kit, boy, this alone would cost you close to 35k in expenses.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Haven't heard of anyone who has done it.
It probably involves too much work for which the knowledge and parts are not easily available around here. It probably would even involve a ecu reconfiguration apart from the hardware.
I'd advice you guys stay away from such mods unless it is being offered by ktm as a retro-fitment (like say the slipper clutch on the old 390)

Re: KTM 200 Duke


Thanks for the quick replies guys.
No, KTM isn't offering any retrofits. They will do the whole shemag, but it will cost a bomb.
That's exactly what I told my friend. A new ECU, and tons of wiring. Since he can't afford the new D390, it was either ABS fitment on the new D200, or a used 390, which he seems to prefer.

Thanks again
Cheers

Re: KTM 200 Duke

I'm not exactly sure but I was informed that the D200 ecu supports the ABS fitment and hence I think you dont need to change the ecu. But you will have to change the console for sure. And D390 is a very good choice subjective to the kind of commute it is used for.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

The 200 comes with abs in some export markets. So technically yes it is possible to get the abs. A change of ecu might not be necessary, but a reconfiguration might be required. Again all this information/parts are not available for one to get it working properly.
390 should be a better choice rather than tinkering with the 200.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

That would be a more preferable choice, getting the used 390 as it is comparatively cheaper and you can get it at a compelling price when bargained a little more. I'd suggest if ABS is of priority a used 390 is a better option to consider.

23456Kms and still going extremly strong

Hola All

Its been ages since i last logged in,almost 7-9 Months.Well i have been silently watching but then had some troubles to take care of.All cool now

So i have been having the Duke 200 for 13 months with 23456Kms and man this is just crazy how well the bike performed.Zero probs,Has been ripped to the core,man handled and still acts like a baby.I am absolutely in love with this bike and cant think of selling it...Just as PD says-"This is the reason why we motorcyclist sometimes find it so difficult to choose between motorcycle and Sex"!

Now this is my 1st paid service,so i would like to know what all things i have to ask them to change.

Other than Vibes after 6K RPM(some crazy vibes) i actually don't see any issues at all with the bike.
Also there is some good amount of stutter at lower RPMs(2-3K). What shall i ask the Engineer to look into.It starts mainly at the left side and increases as i go post 6K RPM

Duke 200 still amazes me when i take it outside.I mean its been almost 24K kms and i feel like its a new bike everyday.Such character in the bike is extremely hard to find.

Anyone has any queries please let me know because i have almost covered 24K Kms and i am in a decent position to answer any queries.

Re: 23456Kms and still going extremly strong

Does the transmission get smoother over time? I've only had my D200 for 2 months 7.3K Kms on ODO.

The lower gears feel jumpy with engine braking being aggressive and shift from 2nd gear to 3rd is a bit jerky, have you observed it?

How's the mileage after 24K kms?

Does the bike loose the gunning pull after a while or does it still sprint like a beast?

I have observed moisture settling under the console covering, it generally goes away in a day but its troubling to see a rainbow spectrum of colors after it fades away. Contacted service center guys about this and was told that this doesn't come under warranty.

Sorry for the long Q&A session, but really curious to find out more about these things.

Cheerio!
