Re: 2017 Duke 250
Hello guys...new to this forum. Got my Duke 250 on 30th June. Didn't wanted to wait for GST, for price reduction. Did 140 km so far and it's an awesome bike. As mentioned by many in this thread, there is an evident vibration at foot pegs at 4k rpm. Added white hand guards from Duke 390, and looks good. Few pics from my mobile

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Yes I too felt the moisture inside it appears most and large quantity in sunny day after a rainy rideOriginally posted by Goonser4life View PostHey , Thank you for the feedback .
I am also seeing a cloudy layer in my console every time I step out into sunlight . Could be due to some water trapped inside . Have you felt anything of the same ?
Also is there anything the service guys can do to reduce the fan sound . Hopefully .
I also took the bike out for a short highway ride and the bike is real fun when you are away from the annoying traffic .
Regards,
S

True that. Mud goes everywhere. They should have designed something more functional than this.Originally posted by kashok View PostI find that the rear tyre hugger is not good as I find big spray painting of muddy droplets on my jacket.
Pillion would be bathed in same manner. Thank god I had none during rains

It's been two days I brought my D250. The engine becoming very heat and shutting down in traffic. And switching gears at heavy traffic. Complained to showroom and on the delivery day they said you will get heat don't be tensed after first servicing everything will set right. But I am getting disappointed with heat of engine and shutting down in traffics in 2gear. Can someone please suggest me?

Re: 2017 Duke 250
Also, what was the on road price most of you people got?
I am getting my 250 for 1,98,000 with Number plate embossing, 3M teflon coating and bike cover. Is it a good deal?
I bought it from KTM Warje (Pune) if someone was wondering. And the manufacturing of the machine is from June
