    Any ideas?

    Is KTM willing to do it?

    Cant RPM 1 and RPM 2 be set by the user itself. the instructions are in the user manual. I havent tried it out yet cos i just got my bike yesterday.
    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle!

      AFAIK RPM 1 and 2 are for setting the shift warning lights.
      Rev Limiter can't be set by the user without flashing the ECU.

          One more observation - the noise comes only when the bike is hot. Pushing when cold has no noise. I am guessing it is from the cat con - but why when only pushing forward? It is quite loud.

          I meant the ecu remap to the newer version and not setting of the rpm shift light.

            Usually such tak tak sounds are caused by the front sprocket when the chain is too tight and it can happen that the sound is not produced when bike is going back (Had experienced this in my RTR). But it should happen even when its cold.

              Probabaly because of Chain!Get it cleaned thoroughly and lube it.

              It is usually done by Service engineer who require suitable laptop/computer with an internet connect who login to the KTM server to access the latest ECU upgrades if any.

                Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                      Guys..i just noticed when i switch on the ignition, all the lights pop up which is normal i guess. But the 2nd light from left still blinks until i start the engine. Manuel says that light indicates engine critical error. Again, when i start the engine the light goes off. Is this for everyone??

                        That is how it is supposed to be.
                        If the light still stays on when the bike is running , then you have a problem there.

                          That's normal. If it stays on until later, should you worry.

                            Thx guys...had been to Goa last weekend and when i stopped in Margaon for a break i noticed the light when i was abt to start the bike. I thought all the lights blink for once and go off. Only the ABS light goes off while the bike moves. So got a bit tensed. By the way, went with wife, used Rynox tank bag and a back pack. On the way back my dear wife used the train. She just couldnt manage. Even for me arms start paining while touring with a pillion. The Duke and my wife are at war...Somehow walkin the thin line..

                              during 2nd service i had told them about, big noise coming from under side sometimes, which could not be reproduced.

                              they said, nothing found, but when bike was given back, mechanic told some tar and stone pieces were found from radiator fan side, and a fan fin was slightly bend. damn...

                              but after i reached home,

                              called SM. he told to check again. it has occurred again. damn...

                                Check if the radiator fan is working. It happened with my Duke too. The ASC guys have the tools to check if it's working so no need to revv the bike to check for yourself. I Got the entire radiator fan assembly replaced under warranty.
