If you want to quote two posts, you click on the Plus Symbol and you would see a tick meaning the post is now quoted, likewise click on as much as posts you want, tick them, and press reply with quote, now you have all those posts quoted, and you start answering.

Single post use REPLY WITH QUOTE beneath every post
Quoting more than one post, use the "QUOTE plus" button below every post.

Hope I didn't complicate it for you, pretty simple. If you require a tutorial, PM me.

Thanks! you were very instructive!
I disassemble the tail and i found a white 3 pin cable. The red cable was completely out and that was the problem to the back light. I've pushed it in enought and started the engine. Light is there now

Unfortunately i didn't do something for the cable to stay there and i left it like this. Next time i see my back light off i will use something to make the cable stay there. Any ideas?
As for my front light. Those 3 days is getting worse. Most times light wont come on with the bike and i unplug the black relay and plug again and then it lights. The service guy told me that the part will arrive with the next delivery.

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Guys,

My bike has got a new disease. This has happened twice in the last 2 weeks.

When the ignition is ON and the bike is idling/running, the LCD works normally without any warning errors/lights and the speedometer runs normally when the bike is in motion.

Suddenly, the display goes blank even thought the ignition is ON and the bike is idling/running. No matter what i do it does not display orange light and the LCD is blank. When i toggle the ignition-OFF-ON-OFF-ON the fuel pump starts and the bike cranks and starts but the LCD Display still remains blank. It only shows indicator, high beam indicator, but never the neutral N displays when the LCD is blank.

I took it to SVC twice, they just remove all the fuses and replace them back. And, display starts normally as if nothing wrong happened..indicator, highbeam indicator, neutral N. All of it starts working.

It runs fine for 4 days and again it goes blank. Again to SVC they fiddle with fuse n it's fine again.

The other day when it happened again, i replaced all the fuses one by one and found out that only when i replace the 30amp main fuse, the display starts working.

I'm kind of confused as to how the fuses are linked to LCD coming back to life.

Please help me resolve this issue, has anyone else faced issue like this.

Beautiful, so just as I suspected, loose wiring. Do keep a tab on wiring, get some zip ties and tie to the frame or wherever you see it's easy for the wiring to be secured without twisting or stressing the wire.

Secondly, it seems you have a relay problem, mostly it's caused because it's exposed where in most bikes they are well insulated, so water, and stuff, can make them go bad, just. Try changing that part and keep us posted.

Cheers!

Thanks for the advice. I will try and build confidence but I know its going to be difficult as its happened twice already. Its very difficult for me as I do not sense any feedback from the front brake. There is no progression but it is not on and off also. I will take your advice and practice. Lets see what happens. My issue is that the front tyre locks or loses grip too soon. That's why I was looking to change the tyre.

if you brake hard in the wet or dirt/sandy roads, you will lose the front end (or if you are leaned over too much).
under normal braking(straight line and on normal turns) you shouldn't be losing the front end.. its just practice my friend.

Hi Guys,

Please suggest

Friday Morning when i start my Bike it refuses, Only the crank sound from starter was coming, Later after multiple attempts it finally started but was turning off.
and when again attempted to start it took around 5Sec of self to start up and the same happened again it was turning off.

Some how managed to keep it on by raising the Throttle, Thinking its acceleration issue took it to SVC or Bangalore (Marathalli).

As it was due for 1st payed service asked the SVC Guy to service it and also to look into the issue, They said it will be taken care by evening.
And yes when i was on my way to SVC the bike felt as if i was riding a Spleendar, Their was no power post 4000RMP basically bike was not going beyond 40KMP

SVC first said its Fuel Pump issue - Pressure seems to be ok by Pump
Later they said it's clutch plate issue - Later they said Clutch plate is ok
Now form 2 Days they keep saying we are checking the Enign step wise and trying to sort the issue.

Please suggest if anyone of you have came across such things and what can be the resolution

current Bike status 22k KMP 14Months On Road

Now when called SVC on Monday they say we done have a Fuel hose seems to be the issue as it is not passing/Sprinkling as they say it to engine. the New time of bike delivery requested by SVC is for wednesday

It's possible that they are correct and are checking each component. So far their diagnosis seems fair.. let them do their work.
Once they ask you to come pick up the bike, do a through test ride and also have the case noted on the job sheet.
Make them write what was the root cause and how it was fixed (or you ask them and put it down on the job card), and only then sign on the job card with a comment "will observe and get back in case of issues".
btw, these are some of the things that i think may cause such issues - fuel pump, clogged fuel hoses, fuel filter, fuel injector, throttle position sensor, ecu electronics, o2 sensor..
so rather than shooting darts in the dark, i would leave it to them to diagnose the problem and fix it

The 30A is the 'main fuse'
iirc the second fuse i.e. 15A is for the 'combination instrument'
have you tried replacing the fuse (1 & 2) with a new one i.e. the spare fuse ?
if even a new fuse is causing this issue, it is probably a bad connection/wiring that is causing this. if you have some electronic contact cleaner, i would suggest you pull out the fuses and spray some in and put the fuse back. (try wd40 if you can't get hold of a contact cleaner)
you might also want to ask them to pull out the fuse box and check for lose wires behind.

nice.. you have also cleared one of my doubt (i was planning on installing a brake light flasher that flashes the brake light in a pattern) and now i know which wire controls the 'brake' light part of the tail lamp... the other segment just lights up when one uses the light switch on our Indian models.
since you mention that the wire came out, a simple trick would be to push a match stick between the wire/plug so that it stays in tight.

Not at all. Wheel balancers are used only if needed, ie, if rim is not accurately true. If the rim is true within tolerance from factory, it's not equipped with a balancer.

Thanks for the suggestion mate will do that, until today i thought KTM maintains every bike history in system but now it looks like they are still on the low side maintaining paper work.

i had a chat with my dealer regarding this topic and he told me that some showrooms are computerized/centralized (i.e. one can pull up info on your bike service history from the computerized/centralized ones) while some aren't. I was surprised too.

short answer, normally its ok.

its not just the rim. the rim has to be balanced only after mounting the tire. it's the tire that sometimes causes 'heavy' spots on the rim and you counter that by placing appropriate weights.

Right. Wheel balancing doesn't have to be always done, where in it isn't required intrinsically. When the low spots on both the wheel are rims balance each other dynamically, weights aren't placed -- that is considering they are taken for the balancing procedure and not warranted by the computers. Many local mechanics don't even know what wheel balancing is all about. So, if you have a new wheel (i.e. rim), which you are unsure of, getting it balanced would be a good idea.

Please be aware of the high current usage of these horns. They usually take 6A when both are connected and stock horn is only 3+- 0.3A.

I have had my bike's alternator fried by Roots windtone. Best is to use single one of these. One unit will also be louder than the stock!

In Bangalore there are 3 KTM Service centers franchise:

1) Khivraj bajaj-ur Indiranagar is one among them (waste)
2) Amba bajaj-becoming poor now a days
3) Popular bajaj-relatively new as compared to others hence they are good. (bannerghatta KTM & Whitefield KTM) - goto these 2.

viaterra velox. this is made specifically for the dukes.
comes as two bags.
you can use just one bag if that's all you need (but its sold as a pair, can't buy only one)
can be easily mounted and unmounted, and secures pretty well without flopping around.
can carry a pillion with the bags mounted
the price for the pair of bags is pretty reasonable
i use the velox and happy with it

Do check out viaterra's website and also their videos of the velox on youtube.
