Is the radiator guard a direct fit? Any modification needed?

Its direct fit, just need to remove stock plastic guard & fit this with two bolt mounts on the top & cable tie at the bottom...

I read about few ppl in team-bhp fitting the fazer's windscreen. So I thOught, I'll also try. Took me sometime to get the work. I haven't tried it out on long distance yet. But after a short run in the highway, I can say there's considerable reduction in the wind blast. Was comfortably able to cruise at speeds of 130Kmph. Did not try more than that. The wind blast is felt on top of the shoulders to the head. A good helmet should solve that problem. I did the test run without the Hemet. I'll try it out on a long drive and let you guys know how it holds up.

Btw, the windscreen costs only 300 bucks.. :P

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

I took delivery yesterday after 42 days wait

Indradev decided to grace the occasion with a nice thunderstorm. And cleaning the bike is a real pain I was hoping to avoid till next June.
The speed is so effortless that I found it hard to believe I am actually doing 90-100 kmph!!!

Btw are the gear shifts supposed to be this hard? Each gear falls in place with big "thud" and I can feel the gear slotting in.

The gears are clunkier than the Japanese. It will get smoother over the days. Also ensure that you don't shift early. She loves to be revved

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

hmm.beauty in beholders eye.I felt CBR screen was better looking/more coverage.could put a sun film as well.I have been checking out all visors.even pulsar 220..options are CBR,220, r15, fazer.well, theoretically these were designed to handle higher speeds in that order.the zma/zmr one would look bulbous maybe.
bajaj spares are cheap too.put on an 85 buck tank pad.replaced the plastic Duke 390 Numberplate with a metal one;24bucks.next would be to replace the horn.
stock sticker of d390 would not last much I think? no extra protective layer seen like yamaha.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yeah the stock sticker sucks... Mine is already pealing off because of bungee cord.. Btw which horn are you planning?

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

**roy_arnab22** · 11-26-2013, 10:59 AM

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

A thread exists on the same but it is pretty much silent, 'guess everyone's busy riding.

Looks neat, just wondering whether there'll be fluttering at the top of the screen since it's just mounted at the bottom by the two screws whereas in the MRA screen it is well secured by proper structural members

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Any one here done any mod with Pillion Seat ? Some Ideas ?

Eager to Know !!!

**timuseravan** · 11-26-2013, 01:53 PM

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Anyone has done/any ideas about mounting a small bag (3-5 litres) on the duke? I am not looking for touring bag but something small to keep office stuff, small groceries etc.

**riot** · 11-26-2013, 02:36 PM

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Anyone sprocketed the 390 yet? Stock is already pulling up some scary wheelies in 2nd gear. And some tiny powerwheelies in 1st gear (with a pillion).

Anyone installed Renthal or Sunstar front sprocket yet? Guess it will be a full streetfighter after that.
