    Where did you get the WP stickers (on forks) from and how much did they cost you?

        I got the fender off of aliexpress. It took almost a month and a half to reach. Costed me 1.5k inc of shipping. Though, you can get it quicker for 2.6k

        This is the aliexpress link.

THe bike when cold started, turns off immediately unless i throttle to 5k RPM. for the first 10 minutes after that, it turns ifself off, when i lets go the throttle while riding either to slow down or to shift gears. It's become a pretty standard thing in my riding that this turning on the engine while riding has become a motor reflex. Should i be worried? is something slowly deteriorating in my electronics?
            get it checked at the svc. they can connect the diag tool and read out any errors and fix accordingly.
            could be fuel pump, idle control stepper motor (which is mounted on the throttle body). don't mess with the throttle body.

            so it's better one identifies to root cause and does the repairs accordingly.
            I had the speedo showing random speeds at times, and sometimes going to 0.. it turned out to be a simple replacement of the speedo sensor cable. Cost around 460bucks but I paid zilch since my bike was under warranty.

                  Holy! I had this glitch from the day I got the bike (pre-owned one) and I never had the Low Battery Indication till this morning. Now I'm worried after seeing this. Time for Service. Thanks to you [MENTION=16602]s1d[/MENTION] I never knew the 0 speedo and Battery are related.

                    probably the stator coil has gone for a toss in your case. get the bike checked and fixed up at the svc. neglecting this further might cause irreversible damage to the battery. if it is indeed the stator coil, then have them remove the battery and charge it on their charger while they go about replacing the stator coil.. the battery will be charged and good to go once the coil is replaced.
                    the stator coil is part of the circuit that helps charge the battery and without a properly working stator coil (or the Regulator+Rectifier) you battery is bound to lose charge and finally give up.

                      Thanks for the info bro. Will take it to Service soon. Have to clean my throttle body as well. Bike stalls when downshifting from 6 or 5. Especially during sudden decelerating.

                        Guys

                        Thanks for the numerous suggestions. I see many of these warnings too, as y'all say. I ve seen low oil pressure warning a few times, low battery warning very often & sometimes the console itself conks off for a few milliseconds and restart all on it's own. I thought these were different issues, but, i have this premonition that unless i do something soon, the bike is going belly up. I am taking it to SVC first thing Monday morning.

                        Y'all rock!

                        Thanks once again.

                          Hi, have you installed this already and whats your feedback on the same. Would be great if you could provide a link to the product as well. Thanks
                          Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle!

                              I read from the RC 390 thread that the clutch can be made lighter by replacing the part mentioned here. Has anyone tried this with older duke models? I might be getting it for my Duke.

                                I've been waiting for this part for my RC, can't find a SVC which has this part in stock
