Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences
That was till 1st service. After 1st service, they did map the engine with something. After that it's never been the same again. As nicely pointed out by you- feels like a D200 map. Donno.
Btw same thing happened to my earlier bike ZMR as well. I wonder if it's normal on every bike.
It's the same website. Actually, it's universal for petrol engines, be it bikes or cars.
Also, today took out the bike on the highway for the first time after using system g. There's always this huge traffic jam on the Guwahati bypass highway. We all bikes were lining up & raring to have a go at each other. When the traffic policeman gave green signal, we all went out. 3 bikes were ahead of me- Ninja, P220 & Avenger. I overtook all of them one by one. The avenger was the last & the hardest. That guy was revving the hell out of his machine. I arrived first at the end of the Bypass highway on the other side. Never happened with me before. I always get beaten by maniac street guys riding on P220s/180s as I'm a quite smooth & relaxed rider. Maybe the fact that it was raining helped. But, I think system g did some magic too.[emoji23] [emoji23] It makes the bike a lot smoother while accelerating & braking which helps to go fast. I'm not encouraging racing. Just giving a reference.

you ride a 390 right ? if so, crossing 130 is pretty effortless on the 390 and the top whack is around 160 ish IIRC.
at first service all that they normally do is replace oil, adjust chain if necessary and wash the bike. were you present when the service was carried out ?
what are the before & after speed figures ?
all i can think of is a faulty reading on the speedo, bad spark plug or maybe they flashed the 200 map on your 390
I ride a D200, and the top speed has always been the 136kmph even after 20000+ km on the odo. Most recent check of the top speed was performed last weekend. Mostly I keep it around the 90's on long rides and once in a blue moon just whack the throttle open for a few seconds to see if it goes all the way up to where its supposed to.
