Re: 2017 Duke 250
Chain adjusting can be done local bike shops or is it better to do it in SVC?

You have to ride slow that's it ...Originally posted by strahl7 View PostHow is it after a ride in the rain?
Asking because even with the tire hugger on, there's more mud on the bike than on the roads itself after even a short ride.
Else mud particals sprinkles on back sheet ...Leave a comment:

Same. Tyre hugger is of literally no use.Originally posted by strahl7 View PostHow is it after a ride in the rain?

I have installed "Orange Knuckle Guards" to my KTM Duke 250 and removed back "Tyre Huger and Sari Guard". I am sharing these pics because I was curious about this mod and hence considering you guys too

Hi kashok,Originally posted by kashok View Post
Sorry, but I have no contacts in SVC/showroom. I had been searching these Knuckle Guards for 2 months, I have also tried online but no luck ...!!!!
Luckily, I found them in one of the KTM Service Outlet in Pune (Kothrud)
I wanted to suggest you that just wait for sometime and purchase in one of the Authorized KTM Service Outlet, Don't Purchase Elsewhere ...!!!
It will cost you somewhat around 1158 Rs. (Fitting 250 Rs. so I have done it myself)
Currently I don't have the part number with me but quote you in sometime ...!!!
Cheers,
Suraj

Hi Suraj,
If case you have contacts at SVC / Showroom can you get me the part number of the Orange Knuckle handbar guards. Nashik SVC is saying it costs 3k (unbelievable) but others on Whatsapp group got it for 1200 INR. I can ask them to do a price check in SAP infront of me.
You should have removed the tyre hugger post MonsoonsLeave a comment:

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Slipper clutch does the rev matching but at the cost of a pitching jerk for every hard downshift. So it is nevertheless best to learn to blip to have smooth transitions during ride. There is noticeable differenceLeave a comment:

The bike comes with UV resistant paint, but id go with Ceramic or 3m PPF. The tank is prone to scratches.Originally posted by drsimkinsurya View Post

But the slipper clutch does the rev matching for you. Throttle blipping would reduce wear and tear i suppose..Originally posted by s1d View PostLeave a comment:

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Thanks everyone for the replies! Much appreciated!Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View PostThat'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.

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.Leave a comment:

Re: 2017 Duke 250
shifting from neutral to 1 at stand still will usually cause a loud 'thacck' sound.. its normal.Originally posted by ywheng89 View Post
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.
