  • Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

    In city tank range I get is ~170-180 kms but my commute involves Tin Factory-> KR Puram stretch which is terrible bumper to bumper traffic.

    Though I cannot with confidence quote the highway tank range, the few times I've ridden to Puttur (~350 kms one way) I remember refilling at Channarayapatna.

      My new hazard light adapter. The problem is I couldn't find the 14-pin molex connector under the pillion seat. But, seen in an online video that it's under the fuse box. & yes there are 3 wires going beneath the fuse box. I thought it went to the tail-light. So, din't mess with them. Will try in the evening again. Pic below-

        Search for it, the adapter is located near the tail light for the duke..
        Even i want this hazard light adapter but I'm not able to find the 14 pin connector on my rc.

          Ya, there is an adapter. But, how to pull it out. I tried hard, but it's stuck under the fuse-box towards the taillight. Maybe I've to go to the svc, but I doubt they do it.

            It will get out if you pull it with little force, make sure you install it correctly.

              You can remove rear tail and get it out easily.. Seems difficult but it isn't really.. Just a 20 min. Job

                  There are 4-5 screws on the underside which can be removed directly.. I can't give a step wise procedure because I didn't remove it personally one of my friends did it..

                      Please do share a video of it after installing it on the bike. I would like to see the difference it makes.

                        Or just go to the svc and ask them to show you the alarm connector on your bike. This is the one to which you have to plug in the flasher module.
                        Don't tug and pull wires at random.

                          Just Google for Duke 390 Hazard lights, there are sufficient videos out there this will work the same way. V4 pro has change ability from the indicator switch itself.

                            Hey guys,
                            What if i install a powertronic ecu and ixil l3x exhaust.. Do they go well?
                            Is l3x a free flow exhaust?
                            Is it necessary to install a free flow for aftermarket ecu's?
                            What if i install an aftermarket ecu and run it wid stock exhaust?
                            Thanks![emoji16] [emoji16]

                              The airflow won't be tuned to the stock from the ecu tune. Change the airfilter n exhaust first, then go ahead to ECU tune it but since the duke is already a stressed engine, u have to be extremely careful with tuning, do some R&D before doing it, airfilter n exhaust is cool. I was planning to do something similar on my CBR, but will have to research n see what it does to the bike, what parts will wear faster, I need a bigger bore,piston,sprockets,etc.

                                Yes, they have already implemented and rolled out. yes, the 2016 models and has NOK seal. Check Rakshit's clutch case bolt size. Its bigger than what it used to be . (was 6 and now 10(not sure about numbers)).
                                No engine components have been changed or upgraded AFAIK. If anything, I will update here.
                                2016 models will have a more refined engine, but even I dont know how they did it

                                Please can you shed more light on the clutch case bolt size. Is the the big round shinny bolt you're referring to? Thanks
