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

    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    DO NOT QUOTE the entire picture set.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.

    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..

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.

    Okay dude thanks for helping . I'll try with a different seller.I use speed.I think this problem is synonymous with all the Duke 250s.

    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.

Idling does vary at times, when the engine is heated and it also depends a lot on the fuel quality. Yes, NGK plugs don't make much difference, but they do help cold starts a little easier.

    Bike runs smooth without any problem.
    no vibrations whatsoever (or maybe i am used to them)
    Initial problem with fuel injection sensor, though its sorted now.

    Need a few things sorted

    1. Is there a way we can manually adjust the idling? if yes, guidance will be helpful.
    2. Idling is fluctuating between 1.5k - 1.75/2k. anyone having the same issue?
    3. Has anyone been using the NGK iridium spark plug?

    Thanks in advance.

    4. Any air filter upgrades? like K&N (part no)

    Thanks in advance.
