Guys my 390s coolant level suddenly decreased alarmingly with out a trace of leak. After that I topped it up to the max level and again after 3days again it reduced to the min level. There is no external leaks through the hoses or any area. What may be the cause of reduction in coolant level?need suggestions and relevant ideas.

Do have a look through the engine oil inspection window and check the color of the oil. This is to make sure that the coolant hasn't been mixing in with the oil, if it has been then it can be a bit of a serious problem.

Hi guys. I have a serious doubt. I changed my rear brake pads when it was 2000kms on the odo. Now it is 5000kms on the odo, the front brake pad has a life of 1000kms left and the rear brake pad has a life of 2000 to 2500kms left. Is this the average the brake pad life of a duke 390? Some xbhpians haven't even changed both their pads with even 10000kms on the odo. What could be the problem? And I dont drive so insane for my brake pads to last only this much. Thanks.

There are rare cases where coolant leaked in the engine core from the coolant pump. Also check the radiator for leaks. Or better yet take it to service centre at the earliest to save yourself a useless runabout later. The problem is serious. Believe me.

Abs does that man. It causes the pads to rub against the plate a lot. Do you ride the front brake a lot in traffic? Do you ride in stop gap traffic a lot? If so on ABS this is normal. What is the ODO reading now. Also tell ktm mechs to inspect the calippers for air blockage. This can cause the bikes breaks to stay engaged to some extent. In India we tend to ride our bikes while maintaining pressure on the rear brakes. Its not something we do but more like we are habituated to doing it. So rear brake wear with ABS is normal. Try my method and post results.

No coolant leak in the radiator. Not checked the coolant pump yet. If it reduces,will check the coolant pump. Thanks for your suggestion.

Yes I use the front brake a lot. It is 5000kms on the odo. Sure will try you're method and I will post it here. Thanks.

HI Folks,

Today I feeling like to shout.. scream.. and do dance all at the same time.. coz of happiness and excitement. I got my bike finally today. Got in Black Color.
I would like to share some of my experience about the bike and overall service.
I bought the bike from Marathalli KTM Bangalore. People whome I interacted for purchase of the bike, Showroom manager Mr. Joshi, Sales Rep. Sandeep and Finance guy Madhu.
The reason I mentioned all of them was they sort of service I got from these guys. Extremely helpful guys.. and they themselves are passionate bikers.. (expect for the Finance Guy). The delivery of the bike, was done exactly the way and at the time at which I wanted. No Questions asked.. no objections raised.. Yes sir to everything. Sales guy was with me at every step. Extremely happy with the service. I would suggest to try them out for future owners.
Now about the bike.
Realized that it is not for Bangalore traffic and too in the peak hour.. well.. got the bike today... PDI was done by Sales guy (who himself has good knowledge on duke) and myself. Got the tyres filled with Tyre protect (I will tell about it later). Took the bike for Pooja .. bought it back to home.. and parked it. How the bike performed.. I guess lot many people have already told that.
Nothing else.. other than.. im soooper excited and happy. I can sleep peacefully now ( I actually had done night walk twice in past week .. no no.. i hv not done that before)..
I was little concerned that if I will fit on the bike (im 6ft tall) and if I will be able to drive it comfortably (i used avenger and bullet before.) but.. I was right at home on this bike.. no wrist pain.. no uncomfort nothing. even after 50 mins of peak traffic. There was however some vibration/rattling noise between 3k to 4.5k rpm from left side of tank from front. I will show them Next working day.. but its nothing which cannot be ignored. I will post rest of my observation after driving it few thousand KMs.
p.s: Manufacturing date for my bike was 18th sep. 2014.. and I bought on 1st oct.

About Tyre Protector: I wanted to buy some power parts for the bike.. but instead.. I put my money on this. it is cheap.. and very good.. he literally hammered a nail all the way in a tyre which had no treads at all.. and then pulled it out.. with in a second or two.. it sealed the tyre.. not even a single bubble of the air after that ( checked with soap water). He has given guarantee that the tyre will never flat out.. if it does.. he will refill the solvent free of cost..

Any suggestions or inputs are most welcome.
