No need to worry.
And don't compare it to other bikes. It will always make you feel less of the bike.
Yours is a new bike. So enjoy it and you will surely see an improvement after the service.

Re: 2017 Duke 250

Not at all... More over teflon last about 3 to 6 months max and doing it over and over will actually harm your underlying paint. This is what I found on my research. I would rather suggest ceramic coating which will cost you anywhere around 5k to 10k

The dealership add teflon just to make you shell out more money. Not necessary but if they won't give you discount by canceling teflon coating then get it done.

Welcome appushri, I guess, one answer to your question would be, people are probably enjoying their machines, with little to no problems, I guess.

Cheers!

Re: 2017 Duke 250

guys,hello everyone.
i'm new over here and new to biking as well.
I have a quick question or a rather noob question.
I know that when we pull in the clutch and shift from N to 1,we will hear a loud "KLAK" sound.
My question is,from 2nd gear onwards to 6,are we supposed to hear that sound or it's not supposed to be heard?
I noticed when i shift at high RPM(6/7k RPM) it doesnt have that sound. Sometimes it does.
And i have my clutch and brake lever changed to the adjustable one.

Looking forward for the replies.
Thanks everyone!

shifting from neutral to 1 at stand still will usually cause a loud 'thacck' sound.. its normal.
while the bike is in motion there will not be such a significant sound.. Nothing to worry.
Once the bike is moving there will just be the normal 'click' sound as you shift up thru the gears. And to minimize the 'thud' sound in other gears (during downshifts) you need to learn the technique called 'rev matching' (google it).. you essentially 'blip' the throttle to increase the revs as you downshift.
Sound's aren't best described in words

, so i hope you get the drift.

No the sound is rather louder than a harley while shifting i think it'll be okay on the course of time

That's absolutely normal. THUD or KLAK sound when engaging from neutral to first is because there is some amount of movement in the cogs meaning, they don't slot in perfect, they catch the cogs which are in motion and then engage the gear, that's why you hear that thud sound, especially on a low gear. Perfectly normal.

Cheers!

Thanks everyone for the replies! Much appreciated!
That's what i thought...
Kinda worries me and i thought i am doing something not right that's causing the gear click sound or so.
Haha.. silly..
yeah,i always blip when i downshift from high speed...
loving this bike so far,i'm on the KNN filter now and to be honest i dont see/feel any difference..
Probably gonna mod the exhaust next,because mine is not the latest 2017's model..mine's the 2015/2016 model with the under the belly pan area.
