    Frothing every other time, especially during the morning starts are completely normal. Frothing happens with the oil is whipped by the clutch basket and the froth that you see should disappear in a few mins, which it will. Motul 7100 froths on almost most Dukes so there's nothing to be alarmed. When coolant mixes with the oil, visibly the oil will change color to greenish tint if green dye coolant is used. The oil will lose its viscosity and be almost watery and the oil will smell sweet-ish.

    Secondly, you will see white foaming all over the oil sight window, like a latte whipped in a mixer. This foam screen will take time to clear up, and you can clearly know that the oil is mixing with the coolant.

    Your bike has no problem.

    What a relief. [emoji4] now will just have to keep the coolant topped up until it gets stable

              throttle body cleaned with cleaner .
              look at carbon deposits, couldn't get the body out due to some reasons like factory fitment and lack of tools.Click image for larger version Name: 20190618_195842.jpg Views: 1 Size: 18.9 KB ID: 1967804

                take the bike to the svc and have them connect the diagnostic tool and check.
                that should show the error/fault code. fix accordingly.
                could be a sensor or fi related issue.

                      That's great, most of what you can fetch are available for free in YT. Just to add a point or two, the MIL or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp or Engine Lamp glows when there is critical error in the engine. The ECM is constantly monitoring sensor parameters in the engine and if it finds a discrepancy, it will throw an error, especially when related to fuel feed, crank and exhaust parameters. So, make sure it is given immediate importance when you see this sigh. Rest, you're good to go.

                      Ride safe.

                      Cheers!

                      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.

                        engine indicator flows once or two in a month of ride that too in low fuel sometimes but on my last ride where environment was dusty and on 11000 fts, very low fuel ,I got 3 signals but I think it's due to fuel only.

                            You can try Red Rooster's Nemesis series. you can even check out Greasehouse's Indimotard's Grunt series.

                              Guys planning to buy a used duke 390. What are the things to look before buying. How much km on the odo is too much, and parts to look for any oil leak and stuff like that.

                                For the Duke, it's good to check almost every aspect of the bike, starting from.

                                Engine sound and condition, which tells a lot about the bike.
                                Maintenance record. Helps know if service was undetaken at the right interval.
                                Documents. Make sure it isn't on a loan and what not.
                                Battery, brakes, chain life, bent wheels, tire life all play a major element when taking a second hand Duke.
                                The best odo that you should be looking for is lesser than 12k. Anything more than 20k+ is a risky venture, and making a final call depends on the condition of the vehicle.

                                Best of luck.

                                Cheers!
