Thats sadly True. A lot of the MY17 Duke 200's have had their exhaust valve's changed because of excessive noise reported. All being done under warranty.

Re: KTM 200 Duke
Indeed. What piques my interest is why the entire head assembly has to be replaced. Secondly, did you inquire with the SVC chaps, what was their diagnoses were with the 2k17 bikes and replacement carried out. Was it a replacement due to faulty valves, or faulty head assembly. Keep your observations posted, when you replace your head.Originally posted by Nishanthgns View PostThanks VJ,
Got my second service done on friday .There was not issue with the shaft,little bit of lubrication resolved the issue but i was in for a shock.The svc guys told me that my engine head has to be replaced in warranty as it was faulty.I have driven only 4k kms with the bike.Many 2k17 bike has this issue is what the svc told me .I haven't replaced it now as they did not have the stock .
Chip, could you throw in a bit more light on this issue. Since you've mentioned "a lot" piques my interest, apart from a few issues posted intermittently in the thread, any info regarding noise related valve replacement is scarce. If indeed it was a faulty valve, a valve replacement job would have sufficed as opposed to a total head replacement. Nonetheless, if you have detailed prognosis of the issue, do let us know.Originally posted by chip94 View PostThats sadly True.

The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

could you guys throw some light on this ?
And yeh, if it's under warranty.. you don't pay a penny, though the svc will tell you that you have to pay for labor, it is a scam. they ought to do it for free.. maybe you just have to pay for the fluids like oil/coolant if required.

Re: KTM 200 Duke
I did think the same while buying it but my friend who also has a 2k17 duke 200 had the valve replaced .I was said that the head has to be replaced in my bike though .The engine does produce a bit of extra noise which is what the svc told me for the reason to replace the part.They also told me that the part was faulty in many 2k17 manufactured vehicles .I did personally see a couple of old head in the service centre which were recently replaced .Originally posted by s1d View Postwoah!! is it ? i thought the d200's were niggle free and even better since my17. i've not heard about this n neither have i seen bikes at the svc i go to being worked upon on for such issues (well, i haven't been to the svc as often as i used to.. now it's just one or two visits a year)

Re: KTM 200 Duke
I had same problem. Opened it completely, blowed the water out by giving it few jerks and fit it over again.Originally posted by Omkar Santosh Naik View PostGuys, My Instrument cluster has fogged up due to the recent rains.

Re: KTM 200 Duke
Unfortunately, monsoons are wreaking havoc on motorcycle consoles, eh. I'd suggest you give it time to dry up by parking it where the temperature is above room temperature, or you can let it dry overnight and and use a hair dryer with medium heat over the console, this way the condensation slowly recedes. If you feel the condensation is excessive and have clear water droplets instead of condensation, it's recommended you to replace your console.Originally posted by Omkar Santosh Naik View PostGuys, My Instrument cluster has fogged up due to the recent rains.

Though you can open the console and give it thorough air whiff, opening the closing the console frequently would lead to improper seal and leads to premature failure and worsens the effect of condensation. Keep your observations posted.

Re: KTM 200 Duke
If I do replace it, it will be replaced under warranty right? My bike is only 10 months old.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View PostUnfortunately, monsoons are wreaking havoc on motorcycle consoles, eh.

If you're under warranty, definitely yes, it shall be replaced under warranty. 2 years or 30k whichever is earlier.Originally posted by Omkar Santosh Naik View PostIf I do replace it, it will be replaced under warranty right? My bike is only 10 months old.

Re: KTM 200 Duke
I had the same issue and asked for a replacement under warranty. The service guys told me it is not a manufacturing defect and won't warrant a replacement. They use every rule in the book to screw you over.Originally posted by Omkar Santosh Naik View PostGreat. Thanks man [emoji119]
