Hello guys, how are you all? Need help regarding some issue I am facing with Duke 390, It will be great if someone can help. There is micro stutter at the lower RPM say around 3-4000 rpm, at higher rpm bike runs fine. When inspected by KTM service engineer, he said fuel pump may be faulty, it has been recently serviced, there is no issue with the bike other than that, Pickup seems normal. If the fuel pump is faulty can I replace it with car fuel pump motor only, its available around 1k on amazon? Please suggest. Thanks.

Guys, is there a replacement console for Duke 390 that's working fine? I'm fed up of original console. Priced at Rs. 7000, its just a non-waterproof console that starts acting weird on the first spray of water.
Once it went faulty, so I replaced it with another, spending Rs. 7000 in the process. The second one also lost the battle in just 1.5 years, same problem of water ingress.
Can I get another meter in its place, maybe a replica that's reliable? Any ideas?

My Duke has been standing still since last 1 and half years. Should I try to push start it ? Or get it delivered to a service center for a through check ?

Good luck.
Cheers!
VJOnce 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.

B7ACKTHORN I specifically tagged you because I remember you telling about retrofitting new-gen clutch to the first-gen way back. Since I'm going back to a used 1st gen Duke 390. I sincerely request you to list things that can be retrofitted to the 1st gen from newer gen parts catalogue to improve the bike.
Thought I'd get over the 390 after so riding so many newer bikes, but I cannot. The first gen is really something else.

Secondly, I would recommend you replace the clutch and brake lever to the newer adjustable ones, makes a ton of room for improvement and give great tactile feel and leverage. Do replace the brake pads to the newer semi-sintered ones. The old ones were organic and they just don't do justice to the speed this bike carries. Replace the levers and the brake pads to the newer gen Duke's brake pads and see the magic.
Thirdly, swap the mirrors to a better one, the stock ones on the old Dukes were a fart in the street. Just doesn't cut it.
You're right. The last of the 2015 were the bikes that were properly mental and can make one's pant wet if one gets carried away too much, this little thing can scare the shit out of one sometimes and when it does, you know it's not to be messed around. If it's fun, this bike is it, nothing comes close to plastering a smile on one's face before and after the ride.
Good luck.
Cheers!

GSR, hi. The clutch basket, clutch plate along with the complete set would set you back around 5k +- a couple of hundred. Highly recommended if you're getting pre 2015 bikes. 2015 and later were the best lot, they came with slipper clutch and improvements throughout.
