    Yes , i have seen one post regarding NS 200 shocks, not many people tried NS200 as well. If you find anything let me know.
    Dominor shock is better quality over ns 200 but would fit without any major changes i guess.

    KTM shocks is expensive than Dominor's and not gas filled.

      In the past the front sprocket was replaced , there was no noise for couple of thousand kms and then the noise crops up again. Will let you know once i have replaced it. KTM Svc in whitefield says they have ordered the shaft but its been more than a week and they are yet to get it .

      From what I can infer here, either your front sprocket has worn excessively causing play or your output shaft itself is worn due to a combination of worn sprocket and its clearances must have been out. But a new front sprocket will yield us better insights, if the sprocket fits and is able to be tightened. If replacing the front sprocket solves the issue, then you're all set. If you still have issue, then we have to dig a little deeper. I think there is a cheap alternate to the front sprocket of Duke 200 with that of a Pulsar 220/Avenger 220.

      Good luck.

        My bike odo is 56000kms.

        Recently my coolant level has been reducing in the coolant reservoir for the last few months.
        Noted down the odo while topping up and after doing about 700kms the coolant had dropped by approx 30% between max and min level.

        I can also see oily dust kind of on the front end of the tank cover, near the two Allen key bolts which hold the tank cover and the fuel tank top the frame maybe.

        Is the oil coming from the coolant overflow hose? The coolant in the reservoir is of the normal color, there's no color change.

          Probably a bust water pump seal or a faulty head gasket. The coolant overflow tube passes underneath the tank cover and is routed towards the left side of the tank cover. The dust you see on those two allen bolts is nothing to worry. Just dust residue. Now, the problem can be air in the coolant system or the engine is slowing using up coolant due to a faulty head gasket or a faulty water pump seal. Top it up for now and observe if the same is recurring, if it does, it's time to inspect your head gasket and water pump seals.

          Keep your observations posted.

          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.

            My duke bike odo is 55000.
            Recently changed entire rear mono shock of my duke 200.
            Now I'm facing little wobble during speed like 70-80 kmph. I'm observing this now, I guess it is nothing to do with new mono shock.

            I can see 2 wheel weights (greyish block of weight) on front rim (one on each side), but in rear rim I can see only one, I never observed if it was there on another side. Is this an issue?

            Please let me know your inputs.
            I ll try to diagnose myself before going to SVC.
            TIA

              how old are the tires and their condition ? make sure you are maintaining the right tire pressure. set the monoshock at step 3 or 4 (incase it's set to high or lower).

              the wheels are balanced from the factory, and there is no 'set' no. of weights. probably is going to vary from wheel to wheel.. and if you want to know if it is possible the weights come off over a period of time, the answer is yes they could.
              proper way to know is to get them checked/balanced again.. good luck finding a place that balances motorcycle wheels properly.

                Guys, I have a problem.
                The wheel weights on my front wheel came off while I was washing the bike.
                Is it safe to ride my bike in this condition or can I attach the weights myself or should I visit the SC or a tyre shop? (SC and tyre shops aren't open right now so I'm in a bit of a pickle)Click image for larger version Name: Image.jpg Views: 1 Size: 19.2 KB ID: 1970331

                  Nothing to worry. If you can find the spot it came off the rim, like you have a residue left behind, you can use fevikwik or double side tape cut to the exact size of the weight and stick it to the place. If you don't know where it came from, nothing to worry, you can continue to ride like that. The bike's tire is already balanced from the factory (stock tires), so these weights don't make a HUGE difference to your riding. If you can get it balanced after the Covid lockdown, then you can do it. Keep the pickle aside, nothing to worry, enjoy the ride.

                      Hi,
                      Head gasket failure and water pump seal failures are two different scenarios.
                      If water pump seal fails coolant will get mixed with oil. Emulsified oil and wavy oil filter is a sign.
                      If head gasket fails your coolant will boil since leakage of compression will enter coolant loop and cause the coolant to bubble out of the radiator cap on your right side.
                      Another sign is white smoke. Occasionally you may even feel coolant condense on the exhaust outlet.

                      Oil drop is mainly due to worn out oil scraper rings. Check those if needed replace block and piston as assembly.

                      Regards
                      Manoj Sivaraman..

                        I echo what Manoj has pointed out here and add a few pointers. Oil level reduction can be caused by two things, isolated to each, blown or leaky stem valve seals and or faulty piston rings, especially oil control rings or a combination of both. If you have a blown gasket a compression test will be easily able to find it out or a leak test, especially works good. I'd suggest you start off with doing a dry and wet compression test at your SVC to determine the root of the issue.

                        Good luck.

                            Hi,
                            KTMs steel braided lines comes with a metal tube inbetween near the t stem and headlamp area. Which swaps the hose from RH side of master cylinder to LH side calliper.
                            Which isn't required for most motorcycles which comes with RH mounted front brake discs.
                            This will cause hindrance on routing the lines.
                            Instead of you want lengthy lines go for RE Himalayan front brake lines.
                            But it's crazy priced at 3k.KTM ones would cost you 2.3k approx.

                                Well my original post got deleted while trying to edit it, alongwith today's reply. VJ if you undo the 5 day old deleted post then kindly do so.


                                My coolant level drops, mentioning oil was a typo.


                                So I might have to check for head gasket leak. I do get some burning smell sometimes, is it due to boiling of coolant?


                                And when is a good time to check for the white smoke? At cool start and high revs at idling?
