    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!

    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!

    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.
    Thanks for your input

    Gears will become a bit less hard after the first service and with more kms. But they will still be clunky and make audible noise while changing. Get used to it and enjoy the bike
