Guys anyone know ..what led light is used in duke200 number plate light?
For what it's worth, it comes as a unit and the LEDs doesn't come as a single piece. There are many a LEDs with numerous alphanumeric names for each with varying sizes and watts, which are far fetched to my wit. Nonetheless, if you have a bust LED, it's advisable to replace the unit as a whole. You can though remove the PCB and de-solder the LED, if that's possible, needs finesse in soldering and what not.
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.

Hello Friends,
I Have Been Using Yamaha FZ16 Untill I Own A KTM Duke200.I Bought The Duke 200 In March 2018 And It's Been 8Months Of Owning The Bike And it Ran About 12000kms On My Hands. So I Thought Off Writing A Review About My Motorcycle.
* Why I Bought Duke200?
My Usage Was Most Of City Runs And Weekend Long Rides,And Also Touring.So I Was In Search Of A Motorcycle Wich Is More Reliable And Wich Can Do What Ever I Expect From A Motorcycle Or Wich Is Best Suited For My Commuting.So The Duke200 Have Good Fuel Efficiency As Well As Power Wich Is More Than Enough For My Locality Road Conditions And It Was More Reliable When Compared To Other Bikes In The Segment(According To Me).So I Bought The Duke200 Wich Was Well Suited For My Usage.
* Charecter Of The Duke200
KTM Duke 200 Is The Bike Wich Is Made For The Youngsters Wich Behaves Like A Warm Blooded Youngster.With It's Agressive Nature Of Powerdelivery And Also It Has Good Fuel Efficiency For The Power It Has On Offer.And It's Not Much Comfortable For Touring But You Can Do Touring On This Motorcycle, It's Comfortable When Compared To RC200.
*Where The Duke200 Feels Better
Duke200 Rides Better In The Corners Where You Can Carry More Speed Throughout The Corner With Better Lean Angle,And The Mid-range Is Strong Part In it's Power Delivery Where You Can Cruise Easily At 80-100kmph On Highway With Better Fuel Efficiency Of 38-40kmpl.But It Lacks The Topend Performance Due to the Revlimiter Wich Kicks In At 10k Rpm.
*Quality &Relablity
When Compared To The Older Version Dukes The New Version Doesn't Has Good Quality Of Parts And The Paint Scheme Is Not Bright As The Older Version Dukes The Quality Of The Parts Goes Decreasing Year By Year.And The Bike Is More Reliable When Compared to Other Motorcycles In The Market.KTM Has Good Service Network And Also They Assist You In Case Of Any Problems.
*Maintenance
People Believe Or Not The Maintenance Cost Of The Duke200 Is Cheaper Now Even Though It Is A Performance Motorcycle And Not An Indian Brand.But The Bajaj Made The Spares Are Soo Cheaper When Compared To Honda,Yamaha,Suzuki Etc Wich Are Not An Indian Brand.The Regular Service By Changing The Engine Oil And Periodic Kit Cost Just About 2.5k Wich Comes For Every 7500kms.Where You Don't Even Have To Go To Service Center So Quickly Due To The Long Service Interval.And The Wear&Tear Spare Are Also Cheaper.But if You Maintain Your Motorcycle Periodically By Cleaning And Checking It Daily Your Bikes Parts Will Last Longer Like Chain Sprockets Break pads Oilseal's Etc.Wich Will Last Longer If You Maintain Your Motorcycle Properly By Washing And Cleaning Each And Every Parts.
*After Sales Service
The Service Centers Of KTM Showroom Has Good Standards Where You Can Feel Of Purchasing A Premium And Also They Offer Many Schemes Like Orenge Assist,Orenge Rides,Orenge Day Etc.And Also Service Centers Are equipped With Well Trained Mechanic's And Well Equipped Instrument's
But In Some Of The Service Centers The Workers Don't Work Properly,I Don't Know Why? And in most Of The Cities KTM Service Centers Available.
*My Verdict
These Are The Experience Wich I Faced After Purchasing The Motorcycle I The Opinion Might Be Different Of Others.But I Am Happy And Well Satisfied With What I Have Purchased.
Quality of level decreasing? How did you come up with that. Contrary to your opinion I felt the quality has improved with KTMs over the years. How can you forget the wheels that used to go bust when going over potholes, snatchy electronics and panel rattling that affected the old dukes. The new Dukes and RC have none of that and have greatly improved quality levels. Considering I own a 2017 Duke 200 and my friend owns a 2013-14 Duke I have greatly noticed the improved quality on the bikes.

I Agree With You Brother They Have Resolved The Issues Wich Were There On The Older Version Like Radiator Fan Alloy Wheels Wireings Etc.But You Just See The Quality Of Paint Scheme To Wich Are Poor When Compared To The Older Version Dukes.And Rear Break pads,Clutch Cables,Throttle Cables Wich Were Far Better On Older Version.Because My Friend Own A 2016 Model Wich Is An Updated Model Compared To Older Version Dukes.And The Quality Of Engine Parts Are Poor When Compared To 1st Generation KTM Duke200 Where The Engine Is Imported And Assembled In India.

A teeny weeny update Ajay. You've laid out the pros and cons almost spot on, right on the head. Though quality is improved on the current lot, KTM bikes as a whole especially when compared to apples-to-apples basis have a lot of room to improve when it comes to smoothening out QC niggles. The engines right from their available for sale have been manufactured in India. None of the KTM engines have been imported from Austria or Made in Austria for that matter. Though a few components of the 390 are imported. The 200's engine whatsoever is completely manufactured in house.
Cheers!

Okey...Then Why The Engine Life Is Less On The New Gen. Dukes When Compared To The 1st Gen. Model.And Also You Know Why KTM Dukes Has Lag In Power Year By Year? I am Telling This Because I Have 2014-2018 KTM Dukes With My Friends I Am Already Tested That Out.And I Am Using 2018 KTM Duke From Past 7Months The Quality Of Paint Scheme Is Like Faded Now When Compared to 2Years Old 2016 Duke200.
Where is the paint fading from ?
On the contrary, I own a 2014 D200, and I find the newer ones better especially the 200's.

As You Can See The Images Below These Are Some Of The Parts Where The Paints Are Faded In 7months of Owning And 12000kms Of Run.And Also There Is Some Defect On The Tank Wich Cannot Be Observed On The Picture.This Is My Experience Of Owning The 2018 Duke200.

I really can't make out whats wrong.
Do you park your bike in an uncovered location during the day? That might cause the mudguard plastics to fade quicker, get a bottle dashboard polish and apply a thin coat over it.

Can't really help you further without knowing how/what polish you use.
Maybe its just poor quality and maybe folks should stop buying the ktms.
