    I have even seen an review before buying. A women rider switches off & starts duke in water. But it was below pegs.

    And what's the maximum wading depth. ?!!

    I thought it's till the bottom of the cylinder where an wire was connected to cylinder. But now it seems a lot more.


    BTW guys don't quote the full post for gods sake [emoji31]

    If you see the left casing which has the charging coil, you will see that there is a traces of oil coming out with the wire, i think that is the maximum limit or else water will get in the engine.
    No replacement for an engine Displacement

        Man, this pic brings back so many memories
        I think this was the highest lean I had managed to do as well never reached 5. Have fun on the 390!

              Sure. The tidy is yet to be fixed. Will get the bike by afternoon tomorrow. Have planned to do some Black Stripes stickers as well

                Thanks bro. sure it's fun.


                Have been riding a bike for 14years but just after buying this am found that there's lot to learn. No wonder why D390 is awarded the best entry level/trainers SBK by motorcycle .Com



                I had so much confidence on bike when I did that. Could have done level 5 But got goose bumps and am little slow for level 5. Also thought level 5 should be done only on tracks no scraping of foot pegs on public roads [emoji1375]

                That turn is on my way to work. I travel extra 2km for that turn instead of taking short route. Clean turn in ECR without any sand & could see vehicles upto next turn [emoji4][emoji1362]

                          Looking super cool! Can you let us know how much did it cost and where did you get it done? That thing costs over 50K on Amazon! https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B016S1...e+390+body+kit

                            I contacted their Website first and worked out a deal lower than 50k.
                            Waiting time was Huge.. More than 3 months.. They are making the kit after Order so it needs time.. Also we had some transit damages, which were redone locally but covered by them.. It took nearly a month in that 3 months.
                            They sell the tank cover with DRLs alone for 19k as well.
