    It was my 1st accessory. Now the bike will run way cooler. Actually, the heating thing is highly exaggerated by the automotive media.

    You cannot expect same level of grip on wet roads as Metz, in all other cases and scenarios its is comparable with Metz. Better on bad roads and little more comfortable for your back (thanks to increased side wall height).

    My bike has done 45000 KMs and is running on 3rd tire on rear (Metz @ 14000, Michelin @ 40000, Old Metz @ 44500 replaced with Michelin).
    I ordered Michelin yesterday. My Metzeler has already suffered 3 punctures @ 10k kms run. The tires have also become very thin. I don't think the tire is that safe to run anymore. Though it can still do about 2-3k kms easily I guess.

        I've changed the entire body kit. Removed the rest of the body for paintjob and also for track day, it had to be minimal, so kept stock tank cover.
        That body kit by Autologuedesign. Below is a pic of how my bike was few months back. Have started assembling the kit again. [emoji4]

          Hi,
          While slotting into first gear under 10kmph(approx), I don't hear that 'click' sound anymore. What could be wrong? Infact once it sprung back to neutral by itself just after slotting. Is it the issue with clutch cable or something wrong with the GB?

            Could be clutch cable or Clutch plate. Please check it at the earliest.
            But is it only for 2 to 1 downshifting?

              Yes, only for 2 to 1. Rest of the gears slot properly.

                I think it could be the clutch plate. I am not sure though. Have faced similar issue in ZMR. It was clutch plate related there.

                  Could be the 'stopper drum' or 'shift shaft' (it has a spring on it)
                  Can't say for sure without actually riding the bike.
                  Get it checked at the svc and adjust the gear lever, chain and clutch free play before replacing any other parts.

                    Hey Guys,

                    I need to put sliders for my DUKE 390. Please let me know which brand to buy and where to purchase it? on line or offline, and also the costs.

                      You have lots of frame slides and fork protectors available from generic sellers from eBay and from motogarage.in and you have motofusion.in and you have lots of, as I mentioned generic items for the Duke 390 in eBay. You can get it from these websites, I know a person in Bangalore I can give him you his details if you aren't satisfied with the items on the website.

                      Cheers!

                      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.


                      THE END

                        By any chance your Banglore contact makes custom sized ones? I need a bit longer ones as I've a body kit and already had a skid once and got some nice scratches. [emoji20]

                          Yes, he makes custom fiber panels, seat cowls, car bumpers everything, you just gotta be there. He can design anything out of fiber. Though I am skeptical if he makes any custom frame sliders, he's really good when it comes to plastics, and sells accessories for a lot of motorcycles.

                                I'm afraid, I don't have the review of these slides; you can find them online by Googling their respective brand names and you might get a few results popping. But, most of these do their pretty good. In case of slide or a fall these protect the bike and the fairings pretty well. But remember, during a slide the plastic on these sliders get melted, so eventually you'll have to get a new one.

                                Cheers!
