    Re: 2017 Duke 250

    Hi guys, need some advice.
    I currently own a FZ25 2017, it's 9 months old. Kinda getting bored with it and looking to upgrade to Duke 250. Will it be worth it? I am a little tight on budget, can spend upto 80k + what I get for my bike, which leaves me with two options (I suppose) i e, dominar and Duke 250. Need some honest opinion. Thanks!

          Orange came on the initial/demo vehicles and might be a 'power part'.
          What you mention as the oil seal is actually the dust seal, the actual oil seal sit behind this. There shouldn't be any difference in it's utility/performance due to the color difference.

            Apart from the sarcasm noted by other bhpian, it all comes down to PowerParts. PowerParts are usually almost always orange in color. It's just a matter of individual taste, so he she can upgrade and make a clear statement, that he is a power rider. Just kidding.

            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

              If you are upgrading because you got bored with FZ25, then the best option is Dominar. Regardless of whatever reason may be, Dominar is a good upgrade for FZ25.

                Depends, In terms of feel maybe the dominar would feel different, but in terms of performance there would not be a significant difference in both options imo. If you want a proper difference, you should jump to the 390..

                      This thread is not so active, is there any other for duke 250 owners.
                      Btw, those who have experience pls share on my thoughts here, fz25 and its low end torque is much more suitable in city traffic then D250, and this D250 has a lag somewhere around 2-4rpms.
                      Pls comment and share ur experience

                        Yes, there is a lag. Pros - i find it quite useful in bumper to bumper stop - go traffic. makes the bike a bit more usable. My old bike was a C500 which had twice the torque and it felt untamable at times.

                        Cons - It gets annoying if you are the type that cruises on higher gears at low speeds and you want to take off without downshifting. Makes you feel like it isn't a 30 hp bike at times.

                          I purchased duke 250 in first week of August 2018. From last few weeks I feel like the maximum speed in any particular gear has decreased dramatically. For example on first gear without revving too much I can't go beyond 15-17km/hr and 24-28km/hr for 2nd gear. Same problem in other gears too. Has anybody else faced any such issue.? Could anyone please verify this speed on their bike.? Any suggestions to diagnose the issue is highly appreciated.

                              Checked chain slackness and sprockets. It all looks fine but I might be wrong though. Could you please confirm the speed range in 1st 2-3 gears if possible.
