Considering these are electronics, they could act up at times. So yeh, for some it could be console for other sensor, and the rest stator coil(there is a specific test for stator coil that I had quoted a few times earlier.. Taken from the workshop manual)
I had an issue on my d200 were the speedo reading used to go to zero randomly and the speed readings jumped around at times. A change of the speedo sensor (under warranty) resolved the issue for me.

Doesn't this deserve a detailed review of the overall experience till date. Would love to hear from you on this one.

Keep her going.

Cheers!

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Would live to write up a long ownership experience, but too lazy to type nowadays

We call it Powerpig. Loves highways and mountains alike. Hates to live in urban jungle, still a daily commuter. Returns a decent 28-35 kmpl. Never raped, never crashed . Love cruising at 85 kmph, may be once or twice tried hitting top end.

Only concern so far was the faulty fan, which conked off twice and replaced under warranty (suspected to be swapped by SVC) as both incidents happened right after service and replaced with old fan right away (next time I am gonna put up name slip ). And a snapped clutch cable.

Celebrates second anniversary next month. Serviced in time, washed and cared like my son .

Some subtle visual and funtional mods. Runs on Michelins.

Long review cut short

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Hey which app are you using for keeping track of this? Thanks in advance.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

It's Fuelio Pro, been using for more than two years now.



App was taken over by Sygic sometime back and they made it free.

Edit: Added Play store link.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Hi guys
I have decided to buy a d390
I do mostly touring and daily commute to work
I have previously owned a r15 and fz . Will duke 390 suit my needs and shall I buy d 390 now or shall I wait for the 2017 model
Thanks in advance guys

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Depends on your patience bro
Rumors about the display of the new 390 are awesome

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

At least wait till November to see the launch at Milan and then decide. Hopefully it will launch here by February and it's worth waiting.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

It is going to be priced considerably higher if all the gizmos do make it to India.
Please do keep that in mind.

If it does come with ride by wire and riding modes, then it would be at least 50k costlier over the current model IMHO.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Riding modes are unlikely, and knowing what bajaj does with pricing.. i doubt it would be expensive by 50k. Probably 10-20k max.
Lets see if they can surprise me

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

I'm gonna wait till November to see if they launch the new model otherwise I'll happily buy the 2016 model
I'm concerned about service and milage
1.what is the service interval and how much will it cost
2. And I'm also concerned with milage
Can u guys show me some light on this
Thanks in advance mates

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

1. I normally take it service once in every 5k kms.
2. Mileage would be okay (20 - 25kmpl) in City and good (28 to 30kmpl) in highways. Lesser the time you hold the clutch, more the mileage.

People may hate the 390 in traffic. But nobody will, if they find an open road
