    My bike has not been touched engine wise.

    Certain Observation I could make out is, Since last 10-15 days. It was not starting in first try when I start the bike after long gap. At least 8-9 hours. earlier I did not had this issue. But Since last two day, bikes starts only after two times I press the starter button and turn off the ignition every time.

    I am in no way suggesting this is a perfect solution. I am just saying it worked for me. so just try it. You need the correct size allen key. Increase it just a bit. may be a 100 rpm difference.

          I had done the same thing on my C5 and I suggested it to the KTM SVC but was told there is no way to increase the idle rpm on Duke without ecu remap :O

            pretty much every motorcycle i have seen so far has an idle rpm adjust screw. its just a diy thing.

                How much do the tyres cost? Especially the rear metzeler?

                  Hey, Joel.
                  Are you planning on increase the stopping power of the bike, with all that add-on it sure is reaching the next level.


                  Cheers

                    I don't get it. I thought that 154 kgs is the kerb weight of the bike which includes all the fluids in it. Or is it possible that I've been terribly misinformed? :|

                      I could find the Screw. But that is no way related to idling. It is Throttle Position Screw. By adjsuting it your are just providing extra little bit of throttle, which you can do by adjusting the Throttle cables too.

                      BTW, Today my bike started in first start and did not had any stalling issue. It behaved like nothing happened yesterday :O.

                        What's the performance gain after installing the piggy back ecu.

                        Is there anyway to tell the manufacture year of the bike. Planning to pick up the duke and want to be sure I get a 2014 model.

                            so that does change the rpm at idling.. which is the whole point.

                              i had been to the SVC today to change my front brake pads as there was alot of squeaking sound while braking. during that time they changed the tray located under the seat that connects the rear number plate holder. they are fitting this to every bike as the previous part was very weak and hence people use to complain about the number plate holder breaking off...this is the part
