Anyone else with this problm??
    Faulty console. If part or whole of the display acts up weird or are blacking on one edge of the spectrum of the console, you have a faulty console. Get it replaced if you're under warranty. 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.

    Cheers!

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    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.


    THE END

      Thanks mate!! my warrenty period is over and the svs guys were asking me to pay for new unit for which i did not agree.
      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?!).

        Mourya, it is pretty much a tough fight once warranty is over, you will be obliged to pay for whatever issues that crop up otherwise. But, you can try your luck with KTM, and if indeed a goodwill gesture is considered, you can consider yourself lucky. The next is to claim insurance, but, insurance will cover damaged items not defective items.

        Cheers!

          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...

            Could anybody tell me the best engine oil for Duke 390 in terms of engine refinement.

              Honestly none. There's no magic bullet oil for the 390. All oils performance degrades after a certain set of kms, especially the way the bike is ridden, all affect engine oil life parameters.

                Also depends on one's liking.
                I'm using Motul only in all motorcycles since 2011.
                Liqui-Moly is new in Indian market and quite famous too. I haven't tried.

                KTM will not have a refined engine for many of the reasons. The Motul company is using is good I feel. You can try changing the oil a bit earlier if you're riding hard, that'll help a bit.

                  I ride sedately, very rarely do I accelerate or decelerate suddenly. What is average lifespan after which the oil starts degrading?

                  So far I have used only KTM SC oil, Dont know what they use. Does engine oil additive make any difference in the smoothness and overall NVH.

                  How are the Liqui Moly or Castrol Power 1 or Valvoline Fully Synthetic? Has anybody used these oils on their machines.

                  Also, I have asked this question previously but asking it again, Can we use Dual Horn of Pulsar in our Dukes without a relay?

                    Oil degradation symptoms can vary from bike to bike and rider to rider and the way he rides. What I would suggest is keep a maximum KM of 2.5k and calculate the threshold for you based on engine vibrations, gear shifts and what not, this will yield a clearer picture for you. Secondly, you can use a dual horn, a relay is recommended.

                    Cheers!

                      Ktm SVC uses Motul full synthetic.
                      Castrol, valvoline and other brands stands nowhere to Motul and will give you bad experience in KTM. I can say "don't even try".
                      You can try LiquiMoly but don't bother as it won't be much difference + requires more work and tension than staying with stock Motul. So stick with Motul.

                      As mentioned by Blackthorn. Observe engine, hear and.things going harder. At what kilometer do they feel hard after service.
                      I ride insane, like always doing insane acceleration, wheelies and obviously insane braking, redlining first gear or any. But still the engine oil works for me service to service which is 7500km.
                      I'm using double horn in RC390 & Duke390 both without any relay.
                      If you use relay that makes it proof. If you don't add it, well it wont burn wire.
                      Yes Pulsar 220 horn sounds amazing.
                      You can also grab another horn that you have and patch it up. Check Apache RR310's horn, sound sweeter ans almost same louder like Pulsar 220.

                        This is regarding the CHAIN SPROCKET SET.

                        My duke 390 has done 9864km. And the mechanic said chain is done its life. It would last for another 300-500 km since there is no long rides these days.
                        The stock one has always worked for me for 10-12k km only. (More wheelies and drama in Duke so life reduced from 12k to 10k I guess.)

                        So, the stock set costs around 3k at svc.
                        And I've always thought of trying the Rolon set but something always happened and I never did.
                        Rolon is

                        3118rs here for the golden chain: https://lrlmotors.com/products/ktm-3...hoCT6cQAvD_BwE


                        Any review for the Rolon chain set?
                        Does they have better life or performance than stock?
                        Also, from where do you purchase genuine Rolon products?

                          I am using Rolon Brass plated / Golden chain for more than a year. Brass chain is any day better than the normal once. But the price you have quoted is on a higher side for both the chains. Service centres will always sell stock chains in higher price, so avoid purchasing from there. Try to find a Rolon company person in Delhi and get a good deal. I got my brass plated chain for Rs, 2600 one year back from a Rolon company guy.

                            I've different websites but same price.
                            2600 is too cheap compared to current price. If you could share the contact via PM. I'd try to make it work, maybe that guy know Delhi contact person.

                                I believe Rolon is the OEM suppliers for KTM, just they package it as KTM and increase the price by ₹500-800
                                The Rolon black chain is same as the stock KTM chain, no difference there. The black have the same part number Rolon "HXR 199" as on the stock KTM one.

                                I've got feedback on https://lrlmotors.com/ and have good reviews, my friend recently ordered EBC brake pads and RCB master cylinder from there, their delivery and packing was spot on and pricing was also very competitive.
                                You can source from there.

                                Just know that in advance due to this lockdown shipping and delivery might delayed a bit.
