Damn it, I deleted my previous post by mistake while browsing. Anyway I shall update you guys about my bike which was being fixed by the svc people. I received the bike yesterday with a couple of changes which I am going to list below:

I was only charged for parts and not a single rupee on labour. I have been out all day testing the bike, and did not notice any coolant drops, white smoke, milky oil color. So it seems okay for now. I have informed the SVC that I will give my feedback after 1000 kilometers, to which they agreed. I have acknowledged Bajaj Customer Care about my decision.

Coming to my decision of shifting back to the standard non-adjustable clutch lever: well it has been a couple months now that I have been using the new Duke 390's lever. Yes, it is comfortable and convenient to use but... I noticed that even after adjusting the play on the clutch cable and the adjusting the lever itself, the clutch would partially engage when fully pulled in traffic. This would lead to grinding noises from the engine, this sound is not something you want to hear. Hence, even since I discovered it, I was more careful with this lever and finally decided to go back to the standard one. Today, I did not notice any grinding noises, and the lever works fine. My advice to other 2012 model owners is that: stick to the standard one.

Overall, I am happy to have my bike back, hoping I don't face issues anytime soon.

Wow, Duke 200s clocking 56k-70k kms is new to me because most of the owners that I know, sold off their bike at 15k-20k kms because they wanted to upgrade to the 390. Anyway, I've always serviced the bike regularly and was present for every service. The quality of parts isn't top-notch, it's built to a price. I'm okay with that. Yes, I've been overcharged on labour. The October service costed ₹6000 in total, from that ₹4000 was charged for labour. That's crazy, I couldn't get discount over there as they claimed its a standard rate and showed me chart with the prices.

Anyway moving on to today's update: Bike is going to be tested thoroughly by the svc people. They said that I will get the bike today. I've told the service advisor that if I'm not satisfied with the service, I'm going to update bajaj customer care about it (with the reference number that they sent). I'm hoping that I don't have to do it.

That's only the adjustable clutch lever.. the adjustable front brake lever from the 390 is around 1200rs .. i mean just the lever without the yoke/master cylinder!
The normal clutch levers can be swapped with a pulsar 180/220 iirc on the dukes.. i use a pulsars clutch lever (and keep the oem ktm one as spare)

Has anyone tried the 15min idle method to reset the ecu?

I do that at almost every service.. i.e. clear dtc using diag tool and let it idle for 10-15 min without touching throttle.
But i think it may not solve the idle problem.. which might due to the ics module on the throttle body.. if idling was fine before service then do clear the dtc and let it idle for 15min and turn if off, let the bike cool down a bit and take it for a spin and check. If not they might need to check the ics and fix it.. maybe something was not done right during the cleaning of tb.

Alright, i'll try the idle method first. If it doesn't make any difference then I would need to visit svc.

to do the idle procedure that i explained, you need to visit the svc unless ofcourse you have that diag tool
in order to let the ecu 'relearn' you first need to connect the diag tool , check for any dtc's (if any, fix accordingly) and then make sure to hit the option to 'clear dtc' (even if there are no dtc's).. and once that is done, remove the diag tool and do the idle for 10-15 min (not less than 10 or greater than 15)
DTC - diagnostic trouble code.
if you don't do the idle procedure after a dtc clear, the bike will idle erratically/shut off and would require you to give more throttle input/clutch slipping to get off the line.. and gets ok after a few km.. so to avoid this, do the idle procedure before you ride.

Hi guys, has anyone upgraded their duke's headlight to LED. My work requires me to travel quite a bit in night and duke's headlight is not good enough. I am saying this even after upgrading the stock bulb of phillips extreme visions.
I know there's lot of LED's available in the market, but I do not want modify the headlight cover to accommodate it.
Please suggest best options. Thanks

Hi guys, so finally I got the throttle body cleaned along with service which was long due.
The throttle response and pickup has improved a lot along with the exhaust sound.
But now i am facing issue with high idle rpm, rpm is hovering around 2000-2500rpm. Because of this I am not getting enough engine braking and not able to blip throttle.

Alright guys, so I got my duke checked at svc about the throttle issue. The issue I am facing is that the throttle is not closing properly once I let go off throttle.
I am facing this issue after getting the throttle body cleaned, this issue was not present before. Mech at the svc adjusted the throttle play a bit which fixed the issue for a day only, but now its back to way it was.
Mech at svc was suggesting getting throttle body changed which would cost 6k approx, but I would not like to spend this much. My duke has done 57k and it seems like the bike is showing the age now.
Getting disappointed with the bike and svc. Any suggestions would greatly help.
