Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

I can't believe that bro... BTW, one should not ride the duke like a splendor. it's like putting saree on sunny leone

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

LOL, Its a run in time. Treat it easily initially then later on


BTW, Question to the owners. Try this and let me know what happens.

Turn on the ignition and kill switch. Then switch off the engine with Kill switch only. Keep the Ignition on. With kill switch off, press the starter button. Let me know what happens.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Got my duke today, got it registered temporarily and rode back home, few of my observations, same as most of you guys,

A) Since i didnt take a test ride this was the first time i rode it and the power surge was overwhelming for me, as many reviews said you have to be alert all the time with this machine and respect it.
B) Rode back home 50kms from showroom on country roads and it was fun. the last time i took the same route was on my P220 and i could feel the difference when i reached back home. I reached quicker and less tired.
C) Have some noise coming from front brake pad while pushing the bike from standstill, service guy says it'll be ok once i clock miles. Plus some other niggling sound, but couldnt figure out, have to check it.
D) Did lot of engine braking today in all gears, plus short bursts of speed, but to be honest didnt have time to look at the rpm, so over all been revving it decently all the time. Planning to change the oil at 150kms or so, although service manager says not needed.
E) By the way, fixed R&G tail tidy kit while taking the bike, wanted to remove the saree guard and tyre hugger, but have to wait until i get it registered. check out the pics below..

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Congrats on your ride. I feel the seats on the bike are made to bring ones better half that much closer...

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thx, you can buy it through Performance Racing Stores, you can contact Mr Zain Khan at, [email protected] will cost you Rs 9000 plus Rs800 for courier. One thing though, while fixing i had to cut off a bit of plastic to hold the number plate and brake light, dont know why, but was not sitting properly. So you could wait for KTM License plate holder if you have patience, which i didnt have, so went for it. Thx AmitRavi07...

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

anyone tried any adjustments with suspension?

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

Rear was very soft and got it stiffened. Got it done at SVC. We can also do it but the toolkit does not provide the tool for it.

Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences

What's your weight and what's the stock setup of the suspension and now changed to what setup?
