The next is to claim insurance, but, insurance will cover damaged items not defective items.

    yeah mate!! my bike has had many problems since the day i brought it, headlight issue,engine oil leakage,tail lamp problem,radiator fan assembly prblm, rear monoshock problem and many more ,for which i paid for engine oil leakage and rear monoshock. Now the faulty TFT has to be manufacturing defect. I'll write to ktm regarding this and hope they'll replace it out of goodwill gesture...

    I'll ask them to try with another console,if it doesn't work I'll write a mail to ktm describing the problem( whether it helps?!).

Try to replicate the issue with another speedo console if the SVC can do that, if the same happens your problem is elsewhere, but if the other console is fine, your console is faulty.

When i turn the ignition off and on again, half of the display goes black. This happens even when engine isn't turned on. I've given it in service centre and they don't know what's wrong with it. Anyone else with this problm??

    Any recommendations for Full body decal/sticker kit set online?
    Or any website, insta page?

    Not able to find any good. Wrapandride has nothing for Duke. [emoji52]

    Throttle body and carb cleaners basically are one and the same, though the harshness differs. Both do the job of cleaning it well. I for one, would trust plain petrol for cleaning the TB as well as sensors -- albeit be careful while cleaning the sensors, dropping them or hard impact will and can make them faulty. Exercise special care when cleaning the sensors and equally cautiously installing them back. Don't worry about any alternatives Srvn, stick to STP Carb Cleaner or Wurth Cleaners, if you can't afford them, petrol is the way to go, for 250, you can get 3+ liters of petrol which is enough to clean the entire motorcycle.

    Cheers!

    May I know what did you use to clean the Throttlebody? Also did you clean those sensors too by removing them?

    Thanks

    You can use Petrol or Throttle Body cleaners. Usually, Petrol itself is a very efficient solvent in de-gunking the deposits on the throttle body and the butterfly valve. The trick is to soak the parts well in petrol then start scrubbing using a toothbrush or a small painters brush, the latter works out very well, and the throttle body comes out spic and span. Wurth and STP carb cleaners are great choices. I would strongly recommend Wurth.

    Great. Do keep us posted on the detailed steps, after you're done. Now that you have access to manual, if you can tabulate how it was done, would definitely help other fellow DIYers too.

    Cheers!
