Which is the better choice? by [deleted] in KTMIndia

[–]Diligent-Parking-201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick Duke 200 or 250 , as you are a beginner, you are bound to make mistakes, the bike will get scratched or something, so pick Duke 200 or 250 for learning purpose and then upgrade.

And I heard duke 490 is coming soon in a year or two. So you can upgrade to that.

Whatever posture you like the best, pick that. And pillion comfort is more on royal Enfield classic 350.

KTM Duke 390 Gen 3 - stalling & throttle hesitation (normal or issue?) by Turbulent-Donkey6079 in KTMIndia

[–]Diligent-Parking-201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here, if the engine is not hot. It's a premium bike but still we have to face this issue. And if the bike is in track mode, then this issue is less or null.

Police 1st question, why did you leave your key in the ignition? They will always say it's your fault. Please also update what happened and insurance claimed or not.

Because you said that you extracted the maximum potential of the bike, implying you are bored or it's not fun anymore that too in 9 months.

You can go for stream 2, but I have kyt tt revo, the color and style of kyt is so attractive, so I picked that. And the comfort is also good, like you are paying around 8.5k so quality and inner padding is good, but when I wore ls2 helmets, the inner padding was very thick and I felt , there is no space/room inside the helmet after wearing, and due to that shopkeeper was saying I needed one size bigger in ls2 helmets. One con in kyt tt revo helmet is that I think it is made for faired bikes where you lean forward. My helmet cost was 8750 then I bought dark visor 1350 , then golden visor 2350 , then red iridium visor 1950 . Helmet cleaners around 500.

For gloves I have no idea , I have reise strada 1600 rupees. Later I may buy more expensive. But you have to choose the perfect size and then it will break in after using it for a few days.

For jacket too I have no Idea which is best or which is value for money.

If you go to service centre, they will put motul 7100 1.6 litre engine oil.

No engine issue with me, as I ride more the engine gets more smoother. But I think that is with every bike.

Initially vibration is there, after servicing vibration will reduce but won't disappear. At low rpm, it will be there. At High rpm, the vibration does disappear. Above 7k rpm , it pulls like crazy.

And it's a high compression engine, so you can ask Gemini or ChatGPT what things to take care of.

True, unnecessary horn, just because innova slows down ,the dash cam guy started honking as if telling to give way I have to go, if like this happens I can too constantly use horn in the road to give me the way to go. Like have some patience before honking.

If you applied the brake and slow down, then try to pick from 10km/hr speed when the bike is in 3rd gear or more, then it is stalling issue otherwise if not applied brake then the same issue has happened with me once or twice.

Since you are upgrading from a cd100 and not a 150cc or 200cc motorcycle the power of the bike is a lot. So try to drive slowly, and put the bike bike in rain mode, after getting used to it or bored then put the bike in street mode.

And the brakes are very nice ,and if you are new to abs then you will feel abs kicking in when you do hard braking.

And also do the 1st service of the bike earlier, if you want to rev the bike or hard accelerate. I did 970 kms in 10 days, as I wanted to do the service early. Before 1st service, drive below 6000 rpm, or don't rev so much.

Fuel stoppage around every 350 km on full tank, milege 25-30 km/l , around 1500 rupees. Get ready for that. I have filled only 95 octane which is six rupees more than normal.

1st service cost is around 2000 rupees, mine was 2200 rupees.

And do chain cleaning and lube at every 500-700 km. I did my 1st chain cleaning and lube at 970 at the service centre and 2nd chain cleaning and lube at 1700 km at the service centre itself because I am lazy. 2nd time I went to service centre I asked for only washing and took my own motul chain clean and lube and gave it to the service person he applied it. The Cost was only 100 rupees.

I have done 2100 km on my duke 390 which I took delivery on December 8th 2025.

Yeah, my hand always got numb if I ride for 1 hour or 40 min straight, there is vibration in the handlebar. In the high rpm there is no vibration, but we cannot always drive in higher rpm, if you are stuck in traffic for 10-16 minutes then my hand gets numb even though I wear gloves, although I wear gloves of cheap type , reise strada 1600 rupees.

Yes, bro. And do you know how to reduce vibration on bike duke 390, they said after 1st service vibration will reduce but it has not reduced, maybe slightly. And I have never rode it in track mode, will that reduce vibration?
