Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

I have done 8k+ kms and it looks like I can do another 8k easily. Though now punchers are a problem. If I change the tyre.. it would be because of punchers.
The riding has been mostly on highways... this regarding the rear tyre.
Front still feels new :-)

Still 15,000 km for rear seems very less, It should last 25,000 km.. :| My monthly riding goes till 3,500 - 4,000 km looking at stats every 4-5 month I will have to spend 8k on rear tyre :O ...

(I ain't D390 Owner though)

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

I think they have used Motol 15W50 fully synthetic.. That's what they've used for my bike.. it's green in color and more expensive than Motol 10W50.. KTM recommended is 10W50 (semi-synthetic)..

Thanks bro. I think tid the same for me as the svc in my home town also said that it is only oil. I think the one used is 300V 15w50. But the bill says 7100 10w50

How much did they charge you for it?

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Under normal conditions the fan doesn't switch-off even after 10 mins. I tried it at-least thrice so now I am keeping the engine on for a while (around a min after stopping) and then switching it off in traffic signals. Hope this should be ok for the bike.

It is 926 per litre. So 1481 for engine oil only. A total cost of 2142 including coolant, filter etc

1st or 2nd service?
[MENTION=63586]DukeDey[/MENTION] [MENTION=56912]junaid12345678[/MENTION]

got the bike after 1st service. total cost 1100/-. i changed spark plug too as it was heavily used to rectify the starting trouble. now the bike starts just like a honda unicorn. a simple small press and it fires up so easily. no stalling too...
there is marginal difference after oil change and service...but i think the engine is smoother now.
i was very busy, so could not go and see the work yesterday, but they say the timing of the bike was incorrect and it needed some valve adjustments. though these words fell like a bomb on me, bike seems to be okay after 120 kms. no oil leaks from head or unwanted noises.
washing sucks, if you care for paint and got an eye for detail then never let others wash your vehicle. my tank now has lot of swirl marks which was not there before.

BTW while returning i had to ride with 0 DTE in console. last it showed 35 km to go, but all of a sudden it went to 0. i was shocked, rode very sedately and reached bunk and filled up full.
now i take it till 7k, yeah man, its fun above 6k... by the time i reached back after 100 kms the chain is loose and thud sound is back in 1 st gear.

the fan wont stop so easily, hence i idle for good 30 seconds and i shut off, all i think is, it should get proper oil circulated before getting off.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

The chain guard slaps at the saree guard and the mud guard (near the monoshock). Maybe, just maybe this is where the thud/slap sound is coming from.

Some one already mentioned the chain guard vs saree guard in previous posts

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Try to idle for at least 1 minute before switching off, if the radiator fan is running..

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes, as suspected that is the 300v factory line. It comes in 15W50 and is green in color. It is a very good oil. Don't worry. I find 300v better than 7100.
