Re: 2017 Duke 250
Only while leaning i think it really makes a difference and in slow speeds.If you buy a bike for commute then duke is good.Value for money proposition takes a huge hit in Duke 250.My parents bought me this bike so i couldn't ask for a 390.Duke 250 doesn't feel powerful at all.I think you can wait for Akula 310 which may be a better bet than the 250 Duke if you really like the duke series you are going to shell out a lot.Why not go for a 390.Take a test drive for Dominar and see it matches you.Akula is really catchy i mean as a deal.Speculations are it'll be priced around like Duke 250Originally posted by presidency View Post

Dominar is mch like a hulk, too mch weight and difficult to manoeuvre in traffic. Otherwise best suited for highway only. Yes it got everything esp the abs at that price tag, but for me still weight is also a concern.

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Get a Duke 390 bro it offers more value for money than Duke 250.If you really like the characters of the duke 250 more then go for it otherwise Duke 390 will be a good choice.Only go for Duke 390 if you have done a lot of kilometers on the saddle and have good experience with quite little powerful motorcycles otherwise duke 250 is more than enough for you.Duke 250 had good characters it's a different kind of KTM.But for the money if you like dominar please get that.It's a fantastic motorcycle.Drive safe and always wear gearOriginally posted by snoufaltariq View Post

Re: 2017 Duke 250
The clutch stall is induced due to lower RPM coupled with fast clutch release. Though it's not of significant concern as such, you'll get used to the motorcycle once you adjust the clutch with proper lever free play. Always use both brakes. Use both of them with 60/40 or 70/30 front weighed in more.Originally posted by presidency View Post

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Am Sourav, from kolkata
Planning to go for d250
But am concerned about the brakes of 250 as it doesnt have abs. Does combo braking helps to avoid skids at high speed say over 100 kmph Most ppl out here have the d250.... I wud appreciate any comments from your side bros.
Also as i read in this forum, the bike stalling problem due to engine heat while clutching on 2nd gear in traffic or road. Is it a common problem? Cause accident...
What can be done at instance to avoid this issue?
Does the bike need proper idling at first of every morning before riding or any other remedy?
Whats the price of D250 including everything?

Re: 2017 Duke 250
I just saw a video and read in a few articles so got scared a lil bit.Let's see.The video's point was it draws power from engine AC power not DC battery stores DC power and then it's transformed as AC.But AHO draws AC power from the engine.The engine is a generator.AHO was mandatory in USA,Canada,and many other European countries beacuse it's foggy there so it was made mandatory.In India guys doesn't even know there is a switch for High beam and low beam.They buy their bikes sitch the high beam and they never turn back.😌Originally posted by chip94 View PostWhat? AHO is the best thing thats happened to the Indian motorcycling scene. First, AHO has nothing to do with reduced power or mileage. Its doesn't affect it at all. The amount of times its prevented a cab guy from ramming me justifies it easily. Don't won't affect the reflector, don't worry

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Guys i think we are really screwed by the government they claim that AHO can reduce power and mileage .the reflective surface also gets detorated in time I'm very scared about my bike.Please some one say it won't affect AHO is annoying.😤

So far..
Only done about 2800 kms. 2 Stints on the highway and the rest in city.

The chassis was made to change directions. The feedback you get from it is great.
That stress free feel of the engine on the highway. You just don't feel like you are choking the life out of the engine (at sane speeds at least).
Faster you rev, smoother the engine feels.
Still sounds great when on board.
Dislikes -
Peg vibes at 4k. Seems like a common complaint at the SVC. Changed the footpegs too. Doesn't help. Chain maintenance seems like the only solution.
Little droplets in the console after parking the bike in the rains.
Good quality sand found on the swing arm after the rains. Splash guard upgrade needed.
In the end, you take the bike out and ride it like it's meant to be ridden (hard), it leaves you with giggling like a child.Leave a comment:

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Hello all, today I was at the Mekhri Circle KTM showroom in Bangalore, and was chatting up existing Duke owners. One of the D200 owners told me that servicing there is not great and the mechanics take quite some time to figure things out. Has anyone else had such an experience with KTM service?
I'm pretty sold on the 250 and plan to buy it as soon as the rains die down a bit. I just want to be an informed customer so that I know what to look out for. Thanks!Leave a comment:
