    Vibrations are from engine and I can feel near the tank area as well.

    I need some advice.
    Recently I got an used ktm duke 390 (2015 model done 25k kms) . I feel bike is vibrations are more.
    I heard about Liqui Moly kit.Does it help to reduce vibrations? .any other tips to reduce vibrations like engine additives etc.
    Thanks in advance.
    Your question is too generic, it depends if the vibrations are from the engine or chassis/drive train or other plastic body parts and fitting.
    A more in detail description on the same would be helpful to get some idea

    Hey folks,
    Has anyone here considered retro-fitting the exhaust from the 390 Adventure onto an old-gen Duke? I'm considering this since I want to quieten down the bike and loved the exhaust note on the 390 Adv.
    Opinions please?

    P.S. I had asked about retro-fitting the exhaust from the new 390 about 2 years ago. Please don't mind me asking the same question again.

    I wanted to know what parts of new gen Duke 390 can be retrofitted to the old 2015 gen Duke? Help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the explanation. The fuses are there but I wasnt sure which ones are the additional ones. The image provided by you makes it clear. However, did not see a blown fuse so I guess there is some other issue and it would require a visit to asc.
    Hi faizan,

    How did you finally resolve this issue? Do you remember any details?

    Are you still using the duke 390? i need help on the same issue? any leads can help

    i think i mentioned it earlier too.. but let me say it again, did you get the throttle body, injectors cleaned. i remember your tank was filled up some crap. did you change the fuel filter ?
    try removing the fuel injector and see if its spraying fuel when you thumb the starter.

    sometimes continuously trying to start the bike might flood the engine and prevent it from starting.. remove spark plug and hit some compressed air into the cylinder and let the fuel come back out and evaporate.

    and then the valves.. like i mentioned earlier, if the valves aren't closing properly i.e. either due to bad timing, or too less of valve clearance then the bike will not start due to lack of compression. i suspect this could most likely be the cause.

    a bike basically requires these 4 (and in the right quantity at the right time) to fire up:
    -air
    -fuel
    -compression (which many forget, on a 4 stroke bad compression fix could be as simple as getting the valves back in spec... many think the fault is worn bore/piston rings which is not always the case)
    -spark.

    Going by the pic you've posted earlier of the state of the fuel! I highly doubt your throttle body and injectors are choked! I mean I do agree there is fine fuel filter after the fuel pump outlet from the tank, but it can only do so much if with this level contamination. Along with bike being parked for so long.

    One way to solve this, get a compression test done, are you hitting 8psi-12psi+ compression and do you have current through the Spark Plug? then it's 90% guaranteed to choked injector and throttle body.

    If you do find the injectors choked, remove them and the best way to clean it is take a 9V HW battery, couple it with injector to turn it to ON state and valves open up, spray some injector cleaner in reverse from outlet to inlet direction. There are ton of videos on YT showing on how to do it

    Checked fuel pressure? Check your fuel lines, and check the injectors if they're spraying fuel. Remove the injector and check. If all these parameters are fine and still the bike doesn't start, I'd strongly suspect valve timing. Keep trying and keep your observations posted.

    Cheers!
