I went today to the service center at around 2:30pm. The diagnostic tool was connected to the ecu and it was showing some error code then the mechanic opened the meter console assembly and disconnected and then again connected the connector and then the warning light disappeared,then the mechanic sat behind me and we rode for about 2km and everything was ok...But when I was on my way back home the warning light came again and then I took it back to service station and now the service guy noticed that radiator fan comes on even before heating up properly. The diagnostic tool was showing different tempereture compared to bieng shown on the console. Now it was 6:30pm and it was time to close service centre so I had to leave my bike there and will see what they will do tomorrow to rectify the problem.

Not to worry, it is an electrical fault. Could be the temperature sensor. The bike think its over heated and cuts off. The issue you said with the RPM going up and down is that okay now? It could also be a faulty ECU.

200 Duke - Downloads KTM

checkout the fuel recommendation

So we are not supposed to use the normal petrol

The manual recommends 91 RON or higher...
The normal (unadultrated) fuel available is 91 RON.

But to be on the safer side, some owners are using only Speed/Power/Premium (these are basically normal fuel with detergent like additives).

**santhosh443** · 03-23-2012, 02:44 PM

Yes manual recommends 91 RON and ktm site recommends RON 95

Iam confused ...

To achieve this compression we need to use higher octane fuel ..

I think (and I'm only speculating here) that the the Indian Duke must have been tuned for our fuel quality.

But for my bike, I would take the word of the Indian Duke manual over the International KTM site

I've got P220 horns installed by removing the stock horn.
One horn is placed in tat place and other one by attaching a clamp to the same screw and the wiring, attached a clip which has 4 poles so tat both work

Did You do with PBK guys? Are You sure this not going to void the warranty?

I got my KTM Duke two days back.

Delivery:
The guys at the Bangalore dealership didn't even check my identity or original bills before delivery... kinda negligent since almost all of us have posted about our booking in some forum or the other. The bike had 5 kms on the odo.
Powerparts not officially available yet in Bangalore, though u can have a look at them at the PBK showroom.

First Ride:
I filled regular 91 octane petrol. I got stuck in heavy evening traffic immediately. The engine got really really hot at one point and it stalled once while moving through heavy traffic.
But apart from that absolutely no hassles. This bike is a mean traffic slicer. Fantastic handling characteristics and the bonkers gearing will take some getting used to. I am getting decent FE of about 45-50 kmpl... so far did 89 kms on the odo. I already removed the sari guard and the tyre hugger.

Epilogue:
This bike is an orange crowd magnet, kinda makes me nervous while leaving it at the parking lot.

You went in there and asked for the delivery and they gave you the bike without checking the full payment bill?

The KTM showroom guy told me that using "speed" or "power" is definitely recommended. There is a possibility that regular unleaded may end up clogging the fuel injectors alot more.

ummmm.... as per my limited knowledge, Fuel Injector can get choked if you are using inferior quality of fuel having particles in it not just that if you use good quality unleaded petrol.

excise duty is for anything that is produced inside the country.
import duty or customs duty is for imported bikes..

As per Custom Tariff Act Sec 3(1) & 3 (2) Basic Custom duty need to increased by the amount of Excise duty applicable if goods wer manufactured in India. This is known as Additional Duty.

Further the Same is also need to increased at a rate of sales tax prevailing in the state of import as per sec 3(5).

Here an Eg:

Ex - Factory Cost =100 + Basic Custom Duty@10% (Eg) =10

i.e. Cost Cum Custom Duty Price =110 +Additional Duty (Equi to Excise Rate on Cost cum Custom = 12%+3% Edu Cess) =13.60 + Edu cess @3% on Basic Custom & Addl Duty = 0.71

i.e. Cost Cum Addl Duty = 124.61 + Again Addl Duty (Equi to Sales Tax @12.5%) = 15.54

i.e. net landed cost = Rs. 139.85/-.

Hence Excise duty & Sales Tax is applicable in case of import of the goods also, This is to curtail the import and encourage desi goods.
