    According to this article, though ABS has been launched and with a lot of uncertainty around and add to it the KTM India website for the the 200 throwing up some error (probably site upgradation) the bike seems to have been launched with a dual-channel ABS system.

    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.

      Has anyone tried using the fancy new Liqui Moly engine oils? They're expensive compared to Motul but have heard that they're quite good, and there seems to be quite a lot of hype around them.?!

        Indeed there is hype around the LiquiMoly and users from TeamBHP have reported quite good outcomes especially on a four wheeler. Well, the only way to know how good it fares on one's motorcycle is, well, get the right grade, use it and then post it here, so that we all know what its worth. LiquiMoly being a German brand and having good reviews in T-Bhp should say a thing or two about the oil's potential. Give it a try and post your reviews here, why not be the first.

            Thank you Hemanta. Do keep your 'detailed' observations posted here as well as in the Engine Oils thread.

              there is always hype around expensive imported stuff with oils, it's war ! they are well known/used brand in certain parts of the world and now available in India.
              don't expect miracles though.. if it's the genuine stuff and in the right grade, it shouldn't cause any issues. and remember oils cannot undo any damage that is already done.
              what is more important is regular timely oil change intervals using genuine stuff say from reputed brands.
              i've found that motul 7100 provides a good balance of price vs performance/protection especially for the hot ktm's.

                  May I ask why?

                  I guess, SVC could be a good place to start looking for one.

                      I have changed my engine oil to Liquimoly for my Himalayan and it has become noticeably smoother.

                          Probably that stuck RPM issue I think. Mate, I think you can get to Hyderabad's own second hand two wheeler bazaar (Forgot the Name) and get another used console. It's good to let the SVC know, but they being them, won't bother the moment you leave the showroom. Get a new one if you intend to keep the bike a little longer, or you can get a used one.

                          Cheers!

                            it's nothing related to the rpm issue.. i can live with that and in fact feel it is a blessing not seeing that red light flash.

                            this requirement is for a diff purpose.. ive put word across in places i know.. so wherever i can get one for the lowest price/free

                              Try getting in touch with people from OLX in and around your area, most of the times, they have it but they just won't know how to sell it, eventually for experimenting you can get it at a good price. Do you want me to look it for you, can't promise but I definitely can try.

                              Food for thought and me thinks, why not remove your own speedo console, and make the bike look even more futuristic, this way you have a toy to fiddle with, ain't that'd be fun.
