      How did you confirm? Did you downshift a couple of gears at a very fast speed?

            I tried 3rd to 1st gear at moderate speed. and as the bike was new and showroom guy sitting behind couldn't do it hard style.
            clutch play is now ultra light.

            It was Duke 390..Dates aren't confirm for RC.



            Test ride bikes are older once. I don't think anyone will get slipper clutch bike to test soon.

                I am writing this sitting at the KTM service centre. Waiting for the rain to stop. Have come to buy coolant. And yes they confirmed about Assist Slippery Clutch. After my query he called the company people and confirmed me about it. The best part which the senior mechanic confirmed is its a retrofit 😍. Unfortunately their new lots haven't arrived yet n so couldn't test drive any.


                Cheers

                    Read more about slipper clutch.. and you will be happy with all other updates apart from slipper clutch.
                    slipper clutch will matter only if you are track oriented.
                    But yes all other updates are important .
                    can check on youtube ..

                    In this video I talk about Slipper clutch on KTM Duke 390 2015 model, while riding the GSXR 1000.... Hope you enjoy the video and do let me know if you have ...

                      Call off your booking. They will charge 4K only.

                        You can call off or make them hold your booking siting "fund shortage".
                        Regardless, Life shall go on.

                          Your delivery is at March end, so don't call off you booking. You will get a clear picture before that time. Due to this Slipper Clutch confusion most might cancel their booking and there are chances for you to get a call soon. Just tell them to postpone and they will happily do. I have postponed my booking for one month just to get the model year 2015.

                              thanks for your replies. I think i should hold the booking as heard of other few updates are to be carried on to be with it. Hope it gets done soon.

                                Guys, we are all excited! But please, it is not a slippery clutch!
