    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.

      Yeah but still the labour charge comes around 2.5 k.

        It's all under warranty. You shouldn't be paying a rupee. Labour charges aren't levied under warranty.

          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.

          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.

          Cheers!

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          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.


          THE END

            woah!! 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)
            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.

              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 .

                  I had same problem. Opened it completely, blowed the water out by giving it few jerks and fit it over again.

                    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.

                    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.

                    Cheers!

                      If I do replace it, it will be replaced under warranty right? My bike is only 10 months old.

                        If you're under warranty, definitely yes, it shall be replaced under warranty. 2 years or 30k whichever is earlier.

                              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.

                                Check the fuses, wiring, battery and starter motor. That click is the relay working.. Or maybe swap the relay too and try.
                                How old is the bike?
