                  Does any one have any idea about the hazard lights for KTM? I'm looking for them in Delhi and what would be the price!

                    While adjusting the RVMs, just make sure you cup your both palms while holding the RVMs like giving them full support from back and then twist them with increasing pressure to just enough to move them.

                    They are just really really tight. They are all just fine.. Trust me..
                    Hey, I am aware that they are adjustable but the problem is that they can only be turned left/right, not up/down like in other bikes, so the range of view is very limited. Or are you saying that they can be adjusted up/down too?

                      They can indeed be adjusted vertically!! And the process mentioned by Ajay works flawlessly!

                        Thanks ,,it worked..I thought it will be problematic but it was very easy...

                        BTW I tried to adjust mirror vertically and felt it can be adjusted very slightly..for me my purpose was solved but is the same case with you?

                          True that the vertical adjust allows for only a small correction but I feel it should be enough for riders of all the heights. It served me well. Also, these RVMs are not which bystanders can use to style their hair!!!

                            Hey nice pics there [MENTION=63586]DukeDey[/MENTION]. I just got a query for all the RC owners.
                            I was planning to wait for the RC rather than getting the Duke. I test rode the RC twice, but both the times i felt that every single undulation on the road is felt on the back and eventually after a mere 10 mins of spirited riding over flyovers (with the seperators on road), i got a lower back ache. Any of you facing this issue? Are there any special seating positions that i can use? Any advices?
                            People who have ridden the RC for more than 20kms at once can be of help here.
                            Thanks in advance.

                              Those separators on highway flyovers are real menace and the only way to tackle them is by going slow. Of course RC gives great feedback and that is actually confidence inspiring. Hence, anything short of a smooth tarmac means negotiating the road very carefully.

                              As for the back issues on prolonged ride, they will ease out once you get used to it. The idea is to let back support itself and not put pressure on wrists and to grip the tank with thighs for support. My first long ride of 50km back from showroom was terrifying but now even 100 km or more non-stop over 2 hours don't feel a thing.

                              To sum up, don't worry about the ride position. It is no where as painful as it feels initially.

                                And i remember myself to get worried sick while deciding between duke and RC, as i wanted upright posture as i have lower back ache. But surprisingly till now am loving it

                                Everything too good about the bike, especially liked its stability and need not say about accerlation.

                                Bad part is
                                1. fuel filling
                                2. heat, yes i am riding ktm for first time and i do get uncomfortable with amount of heat it genrates.
                                3. rear view mirror are absolutely useless.
                                4. bit worried about engine oil level and occasional trouble it gave while starting[ i hope it starts smartly in winter chill and engine oil level seem low to me and i showed to service guy but he said its fine]
                                5. cleaning

                                Disclaimer ;- these are just 6 day observation and by no chance i know more about bikes than a 8 year old
                                Hey [MENTION=72482]Alfa[/MENTION] congrats on the bike mate, How is the lower back doing? any specific position that helps? You sit closer to tank or farther from it?
