Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Guys just wanted to share, a kind of freak thing happened, I had left the bike and had Been travelling, today when I went near the bike, the building guard informed me that the bike had just toppled over, it was on its side stand the tyre was aparantly puntured, so as the air went out of the tyre the bike became straight on the stand and then fell over the other side. Front mud guard broke, lesson learnt, while parking the bike make sure that the handle is facing inward so that lean angle is sufficient even if the rear tyre is deflated..feeling sad, but can't do anything, just bad luck

I experienced the same pain in the left wrist while taking just 10 mins of test ride. I want solution for this pain because that worries If I buy bike it's not good for long rides. Please update about wrist pain.

Hi Nvrmndryo ,

I did 300+ km in a day (total 600+) ride last weekend with no wrist pain. It might be due to seating posture which is little forward compare to previous gen Dukes IMO.

Perhaps you would want more test rides to get use to it

.

Hope it helps!

I too dont find any wrist pain while riding. It might be due to riding posture.
Try gripping the tank with you thighs and put less pressure on the handle.

Sorry to hear that. Are you sure that it happened without someone messing with your bike?
I have seen people trying to explore the bike if kept without any supervision.
It might be that someone sat on the bike and could not balance it.
This happened with me when i gave my bike for servicing at service center. As soon as the bike arrived from washing and cleaning, some other guys who came for servicing their bikes started to play with the switches and sit on the bike. i was in line to make the payment for the service. I scolded the service center guys for this.
Until this bike becomes a common scene on the roads, it is going to attract a lot of attention.
But its really unfortunate to see such a damage in the bike.

I did a decent 700 KMs in 1 day.. 16 hours on the saddle.. I was just tired at the end..

no pains whatsoever..

one thing I noticed, the controls like the switches for horn, and all are very far placed from each other.. so if you're straining yourself to keep up with the switches, relax up.. you will be fine..

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

In bumper to bumper traffic my left hand pains a lot due to the clutch. Even though I've adjusted it to the level 5, it still feels "far" away and I have to press it in. It's quite tight. First service done 200kms back.

**rahuliyer** · 08-26-2017, 05:43 AM

I am getting some noise like metal cranking from front while i accelerate it from 2nd to 3rd gear or 3rd to 4th..
First servicing is still 500kms away...i checked all the parts including basics like keychain banging the tank, number plate bolts loosening.. but everything else is fine but still the sound is there..
Did anyone face such issue?

Very well said...vfm because the parts used are not cheap and doesn't even feel cheap which is the case with dominar...dominar handling is also not that good..doesn't give you the feeling of riding a 350+ cc vehicle..but feels hell lot heavier..and d390 on the other hand handling and weight is so relaxing, i always wonder how this powerful machine can be so easy and lightweight...

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Some [emoji35]chut fuc* on a zma rear ended me, the ind plate is bent and can't be straightened, even the no plate holder is bent. When I asked couldn't you stop without hitting when I was able to stop without hitting the tvs Jupiter in front he said your bike is advanced and mine is not. Damn, when will this stupid people learn some road scenes and to ride properly.
