Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

There not much of a change wrt the core engine internals on the 2017 duke 390.

1. The coolant capacity is approx 1.1 litre
2. Battery is located under the rider seat (same as earlier 390)
3 & 4. Same oil pump configuration as the earlier 390 - google for the 'self study manual/SSM duke 390' and 'workshop manual' on the 390. Here is a link to these documents: Check page 19 of the SSM for lubrication circuit.


If you find some information contrary to what I've posted, please clarify.. would help everyone.

Hahaha, not at all dear, everything which is related with bikes is great.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Strangely somehow got an issue with ECU after today's ride twice. After today's ride when I reached back home the bike got turned off while parking and when I tried to turn it on again it didn't started and gave ECU error on the screen. I am uploading the video also, as luckily I was recording when I faced this issue. Started doubting about the Engine Control Unit (computer) after today's ride. You can check the video at YouTube search for hackergaurav without space. Will raise this issue and her the bikes ECU checked at first service, hope to get a replacement under warranty of its really faulty. But then again don't know when it will be available.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Battery is located below the seat
Will check and tell the watts and other answers

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

It breaks heart when a new bike starts behaving weird. KTM could have easily ironed out every single issue after almost 3 years of D390 experience.

Lets hope it's not a major problem though. But I think after such thorough testing, how on Earth does a manufacturer miss out these little errors.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes Chirag, On a new model where a lot of features controlled by ECU, its really scary to see ECU not working. Luckily it happened when I reached back home, If it would have happened in middle of road, It would have been a real bad story to tell altogether. As the Bike doesn't even start when ECU fails. Now lets just hope that whatever more problems have to be detected, they get detected soon and fixed in guarantee period. Availability of spares for new model will also be another question.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Your video isn't clear & doesn't provide much information apart from showing the bike not starting a couple of times but starts up subsequently. Either mention the error message that came up on the console or post a clear pic so It might help us better understand what it could possibly be.
In most cases it is not the ECU that goes bad, rather some sensor/engine parameters that trigger an error code.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes coz it was dark at night, The error cant be readable in video,

So I went for a ride in evening, Total ride may be of approx 40 - 45 kms, Reached back home and after city driving when I left the bike on idle radiator fan turned on( Quite normal with KTM Duke) Checked the temp meter it was showing normal (Half, it always remains at half after initial warm up) While parking the bike inside Bike got turned off due to low rev and leaving clutch, Suddenly Low oil light glows up and within seconds a red banner popped up from below saying " ECU not working" Turned off the ignition to reset ECU and turned on again, it started normally, Just to ensure tried turning off and on couple of times and Again got ECU not working banner, with Low oil light and temp meter reached full all of a sudden Tried starting the bike and it didn't start, Tried putting Side stand, but warning didn't came up for side stand. Restarted ignition key and showing again normal temp but low oil light still glows, Revved the bike a little and the low oil light also goes away. To me it Seems like a failure of Oil level gauge. Rest probably be figured out at first service when they will connect for errors.

Here is shorter version video of only the moment of problem

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

It could be due to a faulty oil pressure sensor (or a one off bad reading). Did it say verbatim "ecu not working" ? Surprised that it throws up such as error.
I'd advice you head to the svc asap, and have their diag tool connected to troubleshoot further.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi Bro. Sorry to hear this problem in such a new vehicle. i had a similar problem with my 2012 DUKE 200 . I got the whole meter itself changed it was not under warranty and i had to pay Rs 6500. i had all the errors that is showing for you. So anyway take it to the service station ASAP and get it checked.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Though it is imperative to take your motorcycle to your nearest SVC. Here's what I can speculate. The reason why the ECU NOT WORKING is thrown, unlike the earlier ones where a certain code is displayed (though it still didn't make sense) the newer one perhaps just throws this "ENW" as a generic format for all errors. What I would like you to do is, check your engine oil level. Check if it stays on the right markings on the window. Secondly, it might be as simple as a loose connector somewhere or some improperly torqued ground nut/bolts, so let's not rule that out of the equation too. Many a times, a loose connector or a blown fuse is all that's the culprit.

With that out of the way, I'd suggest you to check your engine oil, the console itself and all the wiring that goes with it for proper fitment. This should be interesting. Keep us abreast.

Cheers!

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Seems the other owner also got this problem, for once or twice I guess he also stated that after continuous riding it went off.

its just worrying, hope it doesn't happen with all bikes.

Re: 2017 Duke 390 Owners Reviews and Experiences


Can you point out which other owner? I'll like to message him regarding this.
