The svc also uses 20w50 (depending on whats in stock), at-least the svc i go to has both 10w50 and 20w50. I've used both these grades and there isn't much of a difference. You can safely use it.
    Market rates vary between 720-780 as per my sources/radar. I got them from amazon @ 549 per litre.

      That's good. Even I am thinking to buy and stock Michelin pilot street 150/60 which is costing around 4800 after discount on filpkart, Amazon.

        Good deal. And yes its sold for720-780 in the market but the svc always sticks to the mrp i.e. 805rs for 20w50 and 825 for 10w50.
        Always keep an eye for a deal and pick up some stock when available.

              How's the bike running with 300V? better than 7100?

                I did tell them I want my old parts back, which isn't really any verification as they could give me any old part. I guess I'll just avoid this SVC in future. Any other way I might possible be able to verify this?
                Thanks!
                My three free services are over, bike has 16k odo and i never left my bike alone during servicing. The last 3rd servicing, did it myself, i just let the mechanic see if everything was ok. My brake pads are still good. I do most of the service work myself, like oil change, air filter, last time i did the coolant replacement, i do the chain myself, i even help my friends. thats me 😂😂 working on my friends bike, removing parts.😝 practice diy (do it yourself) you will know your bike more.

                  I got back the parts from the SVC, and as far as I'm aware, the chain sprocket teeth should be worn out, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Posting detailed pics, if that is indeed the case where this was unnecessarily changed, while I can't do anything with the SVC, I'll at least write a strong mail to KTM and make sure that some action is taken (hopefully :P)


                  Please do advise. Also, if pics of the chain are needed, do let me know ASAP

                  Thanks a lot!
                  Your sprocket looks fine.����

                  P.S. DO NOT quote the entire picture set. And please correct simple spelling mistakes, especially for one liners, it helps forum maintain decorum.

                      Last time went for an offroad and now the battery cover has started rattling 😬😬, cant seem to find a solution, maybe will have to stuff something in between and tape it temporarily.😕

                        You just have to take it out and firmly and correctly fit it, doesn't rattle after that. Got it done when I had given it to the SVC

                          Yes I prefer 300v over 7100 anyday
                          Engine performs much better with 300v

                              Hi,
                              Is 300v allowed for the RC 390? I read somewhere it voids the warranty, so just wanted to check that once.
                              Also just to clarify, is it the 15w50 or 10w40 which is applicable?

                              Similarly, for 7100 4t, should I get (if 300v isn't applicable) 10w50 or 20w50?

                              I'm guessing 300v is better, any clarifications?

                              Thanks!

                                Some users reported engine oil leak due to 300v on duke 390, so avoid it.
                                For RC go with 7100 with 10W50 as its being recommended and used @SVC.
