Re: 2017 Duke 250
I've replied to your query in the Duke 390 thread. Following along the same line, if your commute is basically to office and mundane traffic, stick to something like 200s like the Apaches and the FZ250s, easy on pocket, packs enough commute punch and comparatively frugal.Originally posted by Viswar4 View Post

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Good choice of upgrade. Riding comfort is good for long rides. Can't be as good as your previous bike though. 500-600 kms rides are do-able. You just have to get used to the seat and the cushioning. If you still feel it's not comfortable, you can opt to buy aftermarket gel seats that are available. The bike is good for daily commuting. Enough power to get you there in time as well as enough mileage to not burn a huge hole in your pocket. If you're not used to the heat, you will get used to it in time.Originally posted by Viswar4 View PostLeave a comment:

only in 1st gear at 2-3k rpm ?Originally posted by Xothana View Post
have u tried removing the radiator cap and putting it back.. also check if the expansion tank (white coolant tank at the top) is bolted on securely
these noises are difficult to isolate without actually checking out the bike in person.Leave a comment:

Re: 2017 Duke 250
are you sure it is from the radiator area? if so, you could maybe use double sided tape, 'rubber washer'(essentially a piece of tire tube cut and used as a washer) or these days you even get them rubber pads (https://amzn.to/2Q01s7N)Originally posted by Xothana View Post
also try these.. fill up tank to at least 90% capacity and see if the buzz vanishes, and also try to put a bit of pressure with your finger on the tank cap while you ride and observe.Leave a comment:

Minimal vibrations are ok bro. If it can cruise am ok with it. CBR is kinda of a decade old design. I know its phenomenal in terms of reliability. But still old. So 250D it is. Thanks for the input bro. I will soon post my purchase here.Originally posted by strahl7 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: 2017 Duke 250
1 - Well, the 250 is very happy at 60 - 80 you could put it in 6th and chill out and the engine will still have enough punch to overtake.Originally posted by Shyamtg View Post
2&3 - I see that you are concerned about vibrations. I would suggest you go for the CBR or the Mojo or wait a bit for the Jawa. the Dominar or the D250 are in all fairness - manageable, but if you are looking for that butter smooth experience, these are not the bikes for that.Last edited by strahl7; 10-18-2018, 10:55 PM.Leave a comment:
