    Some adjustment to the clutch cable should help.

        It is possible to stall the engine with the release of the clutch as in any vehicle, due to clutch setting or the rpm at that particular instance. Poor idling means the bike can't move itself with the release of the clutch as the bike moves forward with the clutch released during idle rpm. If you feel a flat spot, like there is no response even when opening the throttle, and then the bike accelerates, I'd suggest you check your fuel quality and try fueling from a different station. If after, you still feel there is an issue with your throttling, I'd suggest you check your fuel pump pressure checked.

        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

          Other bikes do deliver power better at lower rpm's. The first time riding this bike, I needed at least 7 or 10 attempts to get going. The bike still stalls at times. It just takes some time getting used to this.

                Looks like KTM will be future ready vs the Akula and the CBR 300 (hp and price wise). Would be great if they put in Abs. But unlikely..

                  I am the proud owner of my 2nd KTM which is duke 250, by the way my first KTM is still my first love which is RC 200,however I am kinda disappointed with Duke 250.

                  1. There is small annoying noise from silencer.
                  2. Misfires from exhaust.

                  DO NOT QUOTE the entire picture set. Remove the entire chunk before quoting, heneforth.

                    Mild misfiring is absolutely normal. Check your exhaust heat shield screws for proper tightness and what not, and also the exhaust pipe bands that connect the pipe to the muffler.

                        I have the same problem too,low end torque is very less. The bike jerks when you accelerate from 1st gear

                          Hey bros does any one has a good idea about buying aftermarket frame sliders for the duke. The stock one looks flimsy anch cheap.

                            For daily commuting to the office fz25 is good option, as have good mileage in between 35-40 kmpl in the city limits, on road price of the fz25 is less , Good torque, maintenance cost is less compared to D250...Yamaha service network which you can find easily in small towns of india.

                            Both are good bikes, rest hear your heart and buy the bike of your choice..

                                Dear fellow riders,

                                Is there any thread where I can look for used dukes (preferably D250)?

                                Riding is not just a skill, it's an attitude
