        The rear abs kicks in early as is obvious because most of the weight is transferred to the front while braking, so not much traction left for the abs to not kick in.
        The front works flawlessly.

        Why 2wheels over 4.....
        Its because 'Whatever it is, it's better in the wind!'

          I just hope that they don't keep on flashing the ecu in future and reduce the top speed, like they did for Duke 200.

              Thanks you.

              Not on track. There are service roads of Hyderabad Outer Ring Road. They are practically empty during early morning hours.

                  Just clarified with KTM BTM, Bangalore, there is no problem with any of the KTM Duke 390 bikes. Manager (Mohammed) said the bikes are getting delivered slowly. The fuel pump issue was actually the fuel pump check while PDI. this was miscommunicated & I understood it as issue (may be because of frustration due to delay in deliveries of bike)

                  Applogies, if any one get into any trouble or any one had any difficulties because of this post.

                    Spoke to KTM dealer yesterday and it seems that they have received price quote for powerparts available in India.

                    Bigger windscreen from power parts is one of them and he quoted me Rs 2700 [approx] for that. It will be available for sale in most of KTM outlets in 20-25 days down the line.

                      A pointer from my experience - Coolant level and engine oil level seemed low on my bike when i took delivery, will take it to the service center on friday to get it checked.

                        Yeah, even I saw the catalogue yesterday.. but I don't know how effective that windscreen will be.. it's kinda small.. here are some pics..

                          I would be probably getting this one or another model (posted by a Duke 200 owner here, which is pretty big when compared to this) for my highway stints. But I will first check with the as-is setup and see If I really need as my speeds usually dont cross 130kmph on highways.

                            Yeah, the MRA windscreen is quite good and also looks nice but costs a bomb.. it's around 8K..

                            Yea, do let me know how the bike holds speed upto 130Kmph.. Even I prefer riding below 140Kmph on the highways with an occasional outburst once or twice..

                            Even I'm planning to get a windscreen.. So do share your comments!

                              And also any news from delhi dealers when the deliveries are going to commence, seeing all the action in blore and chennai nothing pains me more being a southie living in delhi SIGH.
                              Me too hoping that there is no such remapping done..

                              Just spoke to KTM CP Delhi, they told that they are getting 10 bikes within the next couple of days which will be delivered on the KTM Orange Day on 28th of this month at the IGI Airport, where the Orange day is organized (I don't know the exact location though). The exact timings of the event are yet to be finalized.
