Re: Engine oil and coolant
Yeh, head to begumpet for major services/updates. Lucky we have quite a few ktm svc's around.
Take the brake pads out and scrub them with some sand paper and put em back. How many km has the bike done, that the pads were worn ?? I've ridden a few ktm's and never felt the brakes lacking.. the rear might need some time to bed in.. maybe a cpl 100km and should be fine. You should mostly be using the front, with the rear a bit to balance it out. And don't rest your foot on the brake pedal, it might cause the pads to rub excessively on the rotor and wear out quicker.
And practice man, practice on an empty road and adapt/improve your braking capabilities over time.
Just so you know, am at 33k km on my D200 and still on stock rear brake pads.. and so a few 390 owners i know too.

HI s1d,
Took the bike to sainikpuri svc and got the work done. I was the first customer and hence got it completed in one hour flat excluding water wash. They did good work and checked thoroughly. However they don't stock many accessories apart from the consumables. They asked me to visit their begumpet centre for tft update, mirrors, brackets for headlights and ecu. Need to go there now
Also the rear break feels wooden in checking - pads are worn out. Even after replacement there is not much improvement anyways. Bike feels good now after the service.
Need suggestion on good visor to protect from wind blast. Anyone using G-roller? Need inputs if its a worthy investment?
How do i install a bit loud horn and flood lights for highway use? Anyone done these mods?
