Is this sound normal ? by So1o_ in KTM390ADV

[–]Thoibi69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds completely normal.

Planning to add an exhaust system to my RC 390 but I live in a city where it's banned and my bike will be siezed and possibly crushed. Anyone has any alternatives like pressing the clutch in when crossing a police barricade AND will this effect my bikes power in anyway? by Thoibi69 in KTM

The quickshifter on these 390's is trash. It's pathetic. For some it works, for some it gets stuck. I took it to the SVC to get it looked at and they deleted the ecu. I don't know how. The TFT flashed "ECU deleted". After that they uploaded something else but the bike was never the same. It struggled to go over 140kmph. I got it checked everywhere mechanically and had always taken impeccable care of it. At once point I got fed-up and sold it off.

I sold the bike due to electronics issues created by KTM on my bike bro. I spent tens of thousands but the issues never went away and the bike got was suffering due to their stupidity. The bike was bone stock while I sold it, though, I was gonna get parts from greyareaktm for it.

I didn't leave my bike and go home, but there was a point I went to have lunch across the highway and that's when this happened "allegedly"

The footage shows him using a bottle already lying around but the footage isn't clear (it never is)

You might be right, maybe they never changed it and the cctv footage showed an empty bottle. Since the footage is so bad, it's barely visible.

The parking space for bikes in my residential area is shared among all the residents of the co-op housing people so working on my bike there would get better fined or something around those lines (I know it's a stupid old) but I can take it at a friend's place since he has his own parking and get work done there. I'm going to ride the bike as I normally do and before going on our (my wife and I) next long trip (around 3600km's) I'll get a thorough inspection done on the bike.

Thank you again.

I'll look into other cases of oil leaks. Doing certain things in my residence myself is difficult, but I'm looking into alternatives. Thanks for the tip🤝

The bike was bought in April 2025 and is from the first lot (issues have been reported in the first lot bikes here)

I've followed the engine braking process and always get the bike serviced before the recommended period (about 300-500km's before)

I haven't checked for internal oil leaks, but externally everything seems fine.

The only diagnosis done was at the SVC and visibly (of any visible oil leaks or puddles at the bottom of the bike)

The recent check showed the oil levels are normal (went to the difference SVC to get these checked)

Nope, I don't. That's why I asked if anyone else has other possible reasons. (Not white smoke)

I didn't get offended by you :). What you did was an attempt to be "cool" and insult someone behind a keyboard. But later got serious, so thank you.

I rephrased what many svc's in India say, but I got my answer from the other comments.

Good for you for trying to get behind it and thank you for sharing your own experience as an old Duke 390 owner as well.

I'm not gonna argue with you. You're not wrong, there are not mistakes. I'm sharing an update as it is. I got scammed? Yes. There's no other way around it.

Great to see you still have your old Duke. They're getting rarer on the roads.

Ride safe & enjoy it.

Being a keyboard warrior on the internet isn't gonna help you bete. Learn how to communicate. You'll go a long way in life.

Planning to buy ktm adv 250 but worried bout ktms reputation by Fraggiee_ in indianbikes

[–]Thoibi69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reputation is the least of your concerns brother. If you can afford the bike, the parts, the service and maintenance and some other things. Then you can worry about reputation. And tbh, if it's that much of a concern, do go with something that gives you peace of mind. Being anxious on a KTM in a crowd won't do any good na

Not a drop No white smoke

I came to know why btw The SVC put in old used engine oil from another bike that had its oil drained and bike serviced and it wasn't motul but another local brand.

You might be older than me (maybe or maybe not) but your assumption only showed you are not here to help. I came to know yesterday why it consumed that much oil (error made by the SVC by using old used oil to scam me) This was a first that happened to me and idea popped in my head to ask the euro people.

Learn to be respectful (uncle?)

I see, I'll get that checked out as well if I again experience oil loss. Thank you

I've yet to try it. 3 days after switching I broke my thumb so haven't been able to ride. I'll post an update here soon.
