Is this needed for Duke 390 ? Please suggest

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

I think Vikas Rachamalla has an Ed can excellent exhaust for 390.There is a video of him.Its custom made and and serves good for 390 . Sound is pretty explosive also. U can get it for 7-8K I guess

Woooooow.killer pic

Also exhaust, you need additional fuel tuning unless you get a slip on which is compatible with the stock map, my advice go for a good slip on, ixil used to have the best looking slip on but I think they sold out, ixil still has hyperlow but that has a low ground clearance with a pillion it will scrape. The rest of the exhausts are expensive.

May I know What is this and it's use !

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Steering damper . Probably if that's what its called.it helps in reducing wobbling on high speeds.steering remains in control

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Oh, thank you. I don't think 390 have the wobbling at high speeds !

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

I think it's an additional rack for clamping accessories like mobile chargers, holders, switches, etc. It's not a steering dampener..

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

That is not a steering damper.
It's a bar brace, in some cases might reduce the amount of vibes felt on the handlebar and is mostly added on for 'looks' (makes a naked look a wee bit more aggressive) and for mounting accessories.
Renthal - Bar Brace

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

This is not a steering damper. A steering damper will have O eyelets and this as folks mentioned is nothing but a bar brace. Though this is handy for single piece handlebars, this thing is pretty much not a ideal solution for bikes with clip ons, wherein that's where most folks require a dedicated setup to attach their mobile mounts, USB charging points et cetera. Though single piece have traditionally have been helpful in mounting all the accessories without much fuss, this does help if someone is attaching a LCD TV with 6 CD changer and what not.

These are those not so useful inventions that doesn't help much, but as they say, one man's junk is another man's treasure.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Btw mine is a Dec 2015 D390 model. Is it BS-3 or 4??
I think it's BS-4 rite??

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

BS III it is. Majority of the vehicles sold to or upto last month were all BS III vehicles, be it car, bike, trucks whatever it is.

Cheers!

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

I don't think so. In fact, many BS-IV cars were already available for quite some time AFAIK. Maybe from 2015 or so..
But, yes Dukes at that time maybe were BS-3 only.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Ownership Reviews and Experiences

Yes Jack, that's precisely I mentioned "majority" not all. Though most of them were BS III some oddballs might have conformed to the BS IV. See, BS III is more a fuel issue than the engine itself. BS IV can be easily retrofitted as the European standards were more advanced than us, so it's just a matter of plonking the same setup here for most manufacturers. But the fuel is the only reason, as fuel is what causes the pollutants. The more refined the fuel, the more advanced it gets, and our fuel being crude was best fit for BS III. Now that the new rule has been implemented, how "clean" the fuel can be is another debatable topic though manufacturers have made their vehicles BS IV. How proactive our junta is keen on bringing the same BS IV fuel to the pump is another extremely debatable topic. Unfortunately the government hasn't provided any measures for measuring the quality of the fuel or how to deal with adulterated fuel as such.

So many loopholes can be used to extract more money from money-oriented pump operators, but that's as I said, a debatable topic.
