            Yes, you have to lube it if you have cleaned it.

              Yes, a lubed chain must be lubricated in order to replenish the lost lubricant that was present in the chain. Lubricating the chain periodically is much recommended for the Duke. And if ridden in slush, the frequency of clean/lube is increase per se. Also, xBhp use proper punctuation, and do not use SMS, lingos. Use proper formatting so that it's presentable and is to the point, so that it helps not only you, but everyone who refer the posts.

              Format it like this, for example your own post

              Guys I lubed my 390's chain just 2 weeks ago. After riding in rain and dirt I cleaned it up. Do I need to re-lube it again? I use motul c2.

              Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
              The girl said, 'NO!'


              And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                  My bike's clutch has become very light and I am saying this in a negative way.

                  The bite is not there and the gearshifts feel notchy.

                  Last time this happened, clutch hub nut had become loose, clutch completely died and had to tow it to service centre.

                  Bike is 2013 model, stock and run about 16600kms.

                  Should I be just getting the play adjusted or a clutch overhaul is required?

                    First get the free play adjusted to spec. The adjustment can be made both at the lever end and below at the clutch end.
                    I'd say first get it adjusted at the clutch end so that the play is at the recommended 3~5mm iirc.

                    If that doesn't fix your issue, then remove the clutch side case and get the clutch inspected and fix based on what the issue might be (lose bolt, worn clutch plates, springs, pressure plates). If you are replacing the plates (friction plates) then soak them in engine oil for at least a couple of hours before installing them. svc might not do this, so insist or do it yourself.

                      Just adding to what s1d has mentioned. If your pick-up hasn't been affected and or you don't hear any grinding sound at the clutch cover side, when engaging and disengaging the clutch, then it's time to check your clutch cable itself to see if it has any cracks, nicks or it's gotten loose (at the adjustment nuts, clutch cover side and the lever wire screw nut) An automatic loosening of the cable frequently indicates the clutch cable is starting to losing its cable core, meaning the wire strands are getting cut slowly so that the leverage is reduced.

                      Check your cables, adjust them, check for any nicks, loose adjustment screws, make adjustment if necessary and keep your observations posted.

                      Cheers!

                              Yes you'll feel the difference. Dominar is a refined version of the D390. But sacrifices the aggressiveness of the D390 to Torque. It wont show much difference to you if you're a tourer.
                              I test rode the Dominar (got a short stretch in traffic as well) and I would rate it better than D390 as a Touring machine (not so jerky in lower gears as the Duke, didn't heat up easily, great stock headlamp setup) but they should have put a bigger tank there. But as you know, when it comes to the streets, you know who's the boss. D390 😎☝️
