    Mail the company on the same.meanwhile,if they are denying,why don't u claim it under insurance..a leaky fork can be caused by a crash or bumping into something.that way,the insurance will be paying for the same.right?

      Talk to the customer care number.
      Where are you located?

          Regarding the use of 140 tyres,i definitely think that one should not tamper with factory specs.the lack of chicken strips in the 140 might be a trade off for lesser corner grip?
          Don't you think its already wrong if someone is trying to drag knee on a Duke that too on street. Lol.
          Get a RC390 for that.

          Anyway we all have our reasons to upgrade or downgrade in size. This is my first time ever going smaller size than stock but this is for the better days.

          P.S. : I have other bikes for doing corners.

            They're the biggest pain in ass.

            Google and get number of Sahibabad KTM SVC.
            Hardly 4km from Patparganj.
            Talk to the service manager : Shekhar Tomar.

            If you're going directly, find anyone wearing KTM Tshirt, tell my name and explain your issue.
            Give them my reference.
            Tell your issue. It will be done. [emoji846]

            For future please stop going to Patparganj if you love your bike.

              Nice !

              I heard from vj that 150 is slightly pinched in 4 inch wheels. So 140 is the perfect one to go?.

                    My front left shock is leaking badly, the bike was standing still for few days, Bike is under warranty but i guess it is not covered under warranty, just wanted to confirm whether it is or not. If not what will be the charges for repairing it.
                    fork oil seal on my duke 200 was replaced under warranty when it gave and caused a leak. i only paid for the fork oil. Labor and fork oil seal parts were not charged.
                    this was around 3.5yrs ago. if you have a good rapport with the svc they will do it, if not they will charge you for everything declining warranty. not sure what ktm's official stand on this is.
                    Cost will be around 300 for labor, 250 for fork oil (it comes in a 480ml bottle iirc, but the recommended qty is 450ml per fork, don't over fill) and fork oil seal kit is around 300.. so in all around Rs.900 to have the fork oil seal+fresh oil in one fork. for both the forks the total would be around 1900 for oil+seals+labor.
                    apart from that warranty repair, i've had the fork seals+oil replaced one other time on both the forks.. so those are the prices iirc.

                      The grip levels are good specially in loose sand/gravel where Metz usually have a tendency to spin the wheels whereas never had this problem with the Rosso
                      If you are talking about Rosso 2 W rated ones then I second to it, it'll be fine till 10-12K kms, then thread level wears off very rapidly post that, the new concentrate roads everywhere is also causing more tyre wear than normal asphalt road.
                      +1 for the grip levels in wet/dry/gravel roads, wheel never goes off line even under hard acceleration nor fish tails under hard engine braking.

                      Only downside it costs close to 1.5-2x cost of a Metz and has 5K kms life than compared to the Metz.

                        Looking for adding some led aux lights in Duke.
                        Hate the Chinese showoffs that serves no purpose.
                        Denali and other similar ones are super expensive.

                        Any recommendations for any brand / specific aux lights that is affordable?

                          Most of the Indian branded ones are in fact Chinese imported ones, renamed and sold as their own brands, basically white label stuffs imported from China. Secondly, Cyclops, Hepco, Baja Designs are some unheard of name brands are sold in India which are outrageously expensive. You can use spot beam type LED AUX lamps, if aligned properly they offer very good throw and beam pattern. Of course these are available locally. You can get good deal on Cyclops if you have someone abroad who can source it for you, that way you save lot of money.

                          Cheers!

                          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.

                              Absolutely no clue or idea. As I said, too many tom, dick and harry Chinese brands, it's hard to know what's what out there.

                                guys,
                                can we fit the dominar 400 UG's front upside down forks directly to our d390?
                                I might sound silly , but as am looking more towards long distance touring and ridability+comfort on broken roads the stock WP feels too much stiff.
                                I need something which can give me a plush ride ( I can compromise the cornering stability) and direct fit without much tampering on the existing setup.
                                What i have felt from seeing the UG's suspension is that its designed the same way as the WP's with a softer spring set-up,
                                If someone have knowledge about this please shed some light here,
                                also any rough idea about the cost of UG's suspension?
