Actually I am a little bit far from city and airtel 2g sucks bigtime.
One thing is like someone else mentioned, DRL's . If no headlight switch is present, then its MY16. Rest all changes aint cosmetic. Its more internal.

I enquired with my dealer, mine is 2016 make and it does have auto headlamp. No option to switch off light.
Other thing he mentioned was something about tail light.

Rakshit, I checked the taillight on the 16 version and it looked same to me. I could not see any cosmetic changes apart from color (that too the showroom guy told). Not sure about the internal changes which Ivin is referring too!

Edit : The pictures shared on the previous page contains the images of MY16 Duke 390 as i cross verified it with the KTM VIN and it matched.

The one spotted is the export version.(RC390)

Here are the changes for 2016 duke and RC series
1. Modified ECU Damper.
2. Handlebar assembly (Duke 200 gets 390 handlebars is what I know as of now)
3. New Front & Rear wheel assembly.
4. Forks gets NOK seal.
5. Step holder assembly LH/RH- Forged levers. (Yes , were seen on some earlier models as well, but listed as 2016 by KTM)
6. Wiring harness(for export model only)
6. Motorex sticker(For export models only)
7. Some mount point differences in frame assembly compared to MY15
8. Colour rationalization (black is new as well as RC390's white is new)
9. 300mm dia disc for Duke 200
10. Disc thickness increase for all models.
11. All new pillion seat assembly
12. Hybrid frame withM6 tapping
13. Modifeid reservoir mtg. bracket.
14. Control switch RH without headlight ON/OFF
15. Duke 200 tyres will have new MRF design/pattern. (Not sure if limited to export model)
16. Modified mirrors for RC(Not sure what the modification is, as I havent seen an MY16 RC yet, heard its just the length of the mirror)
17. Dont quote me for this, there is no update yet from KTM about Slipper Clutch on the RC390. All the updates above is official and a SC update wasnt there. But I also got an inside news that it wont be long.
If any news on it, I ll update here.

Thanks everyone

Regards
Ivin

These guys are the official importers of these pads in India. Sintered brake pads last quite a long time compared to the stock ones. PM them on their Facebook page, they will guide you with the prices and shipping. Last I checked was 2.5k per pair

not really TH, in fact would love to scan through all the post, but I am making use of the limited time available on hands. Regarding the bullet mod, I am clueless here, a couple of chaps have in fact replaced their MC and installed hydraulic clutch systems. But, will keep it posted, if I come across the topic.

Cheers!

Would this be good for 2015 models as well. ? Can you please help me with the part no.s

**judebrent** · 02-02-2016, 08:12 PM

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Fuel indicator query. The 390 has a total of 9 bars. If I am correct the last 2 are for reserve and it triggers a different ODO trip count when it reaches that point! Now what's the average fuel per bar like? Around 1.22?

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

How much km can the Duke do in reserve? I personally hv done around 70 kms on ZERO bars and when I go for fuel fillup (full tank), still 1.5-2 ltrs are leftover.!

That's strange. Firstly, with a fuel injector bike you shouldn't be driving in reserve as it's bad for your fuel pump. Secondly 23 KMs is what I have heard. The reserve is 2.5 litres.
