Yes they even feel very good as the stock grips are hard these are much softer

One doubt though, you have a handle bar end on the D390 and so does the RC. So would they fit on my D200?? Or do I need to attach the bar end as well.??(which I doubt would fit the D200 handle bar)

Yes I will do that..? Did they cut the grips while fitting or was it a direct fit on your D390..??

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey, good evening guys.! Hope everyone's Christmas is coming along well.
I need your suggestions about an issue I'm facing on my D390.
Every morning in cold start condition, for the first few kilometers, or until the bike gathers about 3 to 4 bars of heat, the engine tends to keep stalling when at slow speeds.
It idles fine, but when I nudge the throttle open slightly, it feels like the bike is running out of breath and stalls. This happens about 3 to 4 times everyday. After it goes off, it takes several cranks to start back up again.

To avoid this I need to keep gunning thr throttle when I depress the clutch. But the issue vanishes once the engine heats up and everything will be fine then. This is bugging me as it's hard to ride the first few kilometers after everytime I have parked the bike for a while.

Please give me your suggestions and expert opinion as to what needs to be addressed in this situation.
Thanks in advance.!
Merry Christmas again.
Cheers.

I had a similar issue (though not as frequent as yours) for the first 4000 kms or so. It went away on its own. I think its something to do with the valve seating settling down. Get it checked at the SVC once anyways.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Oh that's... This issue seems to have cropped up on my bike from the last 250 km. Before that I did not have any issue as such...

I would also recommend to let the bike idle for around 2 mins atleast in cold mornings.

Took my bike for a Spin yesterday to test the windshield. Found that it is good upto speeds of 125kmph. I had to duck after that.. which I felt was better than before even after ducking compared to before. Im a 6ft tall guy and for me I could only feel winds from my shoulder and above after 120kmph.
At any speeds the wind blast was never felt below shoulders.. It look perfectly stable at all speeds.
It is a welcome add-on in touring on Duke is in mind. Does its job. and at 300 bucks.. it is worth the money.

I would suggest you to keep the bike idle for some time before you get 1-2 bars before you start. I follow the same practise and was suggested to me by the service center mechanic.
