chill bro
its okay
they get extremely hot due to immense friction when brakes are applied
all my bikes brake disk get hot
its no worry
just chill and relax
and don't touch it
throw some water on it and see the water evaporate suddenly just for one
or you could try to take your bike out when the disk is cold and drive it around without using the brakes for a couple of kilo meters and then check if the brakes are hot or not

if they are then that means the brake pads are touching the disk and get it to the service centre and get it fixed

Thanks man
I was using mostly front brake and very rarely rear disc brake.
Still rear brake disc is getting very hot as compared to front.
Will check with service center

if he used a high pressure washer and also aimed it on the chain, then do get it lubed.

My left RVM has become loose , on rotating to tighten, it comes to a 90 degree angle to the actual required position. Can someone guide me on how to tighten the mirror appropriately

Rotate to correct position and tighten the nut.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey guys,
I've been having a peculiar issue offlate. I'm experiencing infrequent wobbling from the front. That is it happens almost randomly irrespective of the speeds where I can feel the wobble through the handle bars and then it corrects itself(kind of when you're running the tyre at low pressures) .
I was told that it was because of the tyres wearing out, but I've now switched to a new set of Michelins and the issue still persists.
I've even tried changing the coneset but to no avail.
Any idea about what's causing it?
Cheers!

check a few things.
wheel bearing (2 at front and 3 at rear)
wheel alignment.
check for bent rim.
fork alignment.

if you leave the handle does the motorcycle drift to any particular side ?
or does it go straight but you get tankslap /wobble ?

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

It might be an issue with the alignment..

Go for a 10km ride and don't use the rear brake at all.
If the disc is still getting hot, it means there is brushing and that needs to be fixed.

Definitely an issue with the alignment.. Same things happened to my HH karizma. If you leave you handle.. Does it shake like crazy or your bike drift towards one side? If you leave the handle while driving. If yes, then get your front rim/forks checked for alignment issues. They are gonna open the complete front wheel and forks then do their thing and hopefully your problem will be resolved. Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

After riding this bike for a few days and clocking close to 200 km, I just took my trusty old Unicorn for some daily chore and my God the smoothness of the Honda, man, the smoothness. Makes me want to get a CBR300R when it releases.

Duke 390 definitely is when you have the mood for it, but the thing is you'll get the mood as soon as you swing a leg on it.
