        it is working...

            The bike already has good crash guards. Why change them ?

            If you meant crash bobbins or frame sliders, you can check R&G sliders and Some other brands in PRS or Bachoo motors website.

            But do think twice before buying frame slider, you are at risk of damaging the already brittle frame of the Duke.

              Yes, I agree that the crash guards are good, but mine got broken at the joint. At the time the svc did not have a spare guard, so could not change them. Now, it has bend backwards accidentally and needs to be replaced. Therefore, I am looking at other options as I am not sure whether the svc guys do have one with them or that they will accept it under warranty.

                Ok amith, do check the PRS and Bachoo motors sites for crash protector options. They are pretty costly though.

                  I already checked those sites, they only have crash protectors and sliders. I don't know why nobody stores good quality crash bars as they are pretty much always better than crash protectors and sliders.

                  Anyways checked out your review. Good one.

                        I paid, 2300/- at the KTM SVC, Seawoods.

                        They replaced the fuel filter, spark plug, oil filter.

                        Thanks
                        Whatever happened to free servicings under warranty period?? I mean ktms arn't coming with any free servicing??

                          Only labour is free like with all other companies. Spares are charged. I don't find anything strange in this or do you expect KTM to pay for spares too?
                          [MENTION=28773]burninrubbr[/MENTION] Post a pic of the bill. I think Rs.2300 is a bit on the higher side. Mine came up to Rs.1650 but Spark plug was not replaced.

                            Did you miss the first service by any chance? 2300 must be for the second service where spark plug and other stuff is replaced. I paid 2100 something for the second service.

                                It does stall once in a while when i am not careful, but i think i have learnt to deal with it.

                                The bike stalls at times when i completely release the throttle, pulling in the clutch at the same time. I have learnt not to release the throttle completely to tackle the issue. My guess is the stalling i caused the engine RPM dropping below a certain value, stalling the bike. Typically my bike ides between 1400-1600 rpm. Some people have been talking about increased idling rpm in the newer bikes, which may be related to address this issue. not sure, but yeah, stalling is a concern nevertheless.
