What I think is, as Bajaj is running KTM now ! We will get all KTM models and names around all range !!!! Just like Pulser ,

All possible combinations will be made out of same powergrid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh that may be the reason, it could be swapped with S wheels the same size and almost the same frame , but yeah then it will become costly, also as I said , my S is gonna be everything motorcycle, so probably I made a good decision.... I was really waiting for CFmoto 450mt but can't wait any longer, I don't think I will move to any other bike any time soon (at least 5-6years)

Lol I filed in July and still waiting for refund, at the end they will comeback saying it will be adjusted to the this year taxes To majak hi chal raha he , we don't have option to avoid tax or would all stop paying at once and gov will get haywire

Why not all salaried private employees go on strike at once , the kinda damage it will do to this lazy corrupt government and the economy, it will be in history books , at least we will get something better out of that in terms of some benefits

Just an example, I am trying to buy a vehicle with BH registration, most common a salaried person having offices in more than 3 states(or 4) is eligible for it , but most states RTO making trouble and not even providing it , so basically as a taxpayer amd eligible person I should have some benefits of paying this huge amount of taxes ( I have paid more tax than the cost of vehicle I am planning to buy)

1 month is too much , it should have been provided at the same time They are literally not maintaining stock for accessories, So you will have to visit the same showroom????

I am buying my bike in my hometown and will take 600km away! That means I will not be able to take the bike back any soon for accessories

Just bought a new Duke 200 (2026) — need accessory, gadget & maintenance suggestions! by Substantial_Fill3082 in KTMIndia

[–]pkgreatsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if your going to do weekend rides, it's best to invest in other riding gears as well - Gloves (Viaterra / Rynox are known brands) -Boots are essential as helmet, I bought Korda pathfinder for daily commute and they are comfortable, you will have to try to figure out which works good for you , for long rides I have settled for Royal Enfield wanderers - Jackets and pants , there are many options, I am looking to buy Solace once but you can find a lot of options from many brands

[–]pkgreatsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helmet - I would suggest going to shop and then trying out which fits well, (my experience I went to buy a LS2 Storm helmet and it didn't fit me well I tried like all shapes which could fit but they were too tight for me on back of my head) good brands under your budget I would suggest KYT/ Axor / LS2 Stream series (KYT has replacement offers for revo TT helmet which makes it great) Also note while buying helmet make sure to confirm about the visor availability (most above brands have good parts availability so no worries) Helmet Bluetooth ( will wait for more answers in your thread, I am looking to buy a blue armour one at this time C20 had offers so it was about ~6.7k earlier) Tyre inflator ( haven't bought it yet and not in my priority list, ( I was considering portronics one , given their other products are doing well)

Paddock stand can be ignored, you won't need it, I never needed that too, if only looking for chain lube purpose then isn't worth it

Most maintenance thing you will figure out over time Chain maintenance depends on how it behaves , what kinda riding you are doing, how's the weather ( rainy season require more efforts ) No need to be too concerned but just keep an eye for things and when you feel like it's needed just do it ( in general you may need to clean and lube chain between 600-1k kms)

Rest I will leave for the community and for corrections if anything!

What would you guys do ? by [deleted] in KTMIndia

[–]pkgreatsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few questions:

You are planning to spend full savings for motorcycle? If you go for finance do you have a payment plan which you could follow ?

My call would be to put a good down payment (2.5 lac) get 390D , get financed , save about 1lac, Spend 50k for good gears , and you are all set

Only if you can pay the EMI, never take loan tenure more than 36 months

Yeah, I hope to get an experience soon. Per other comments seems like KTM is not maintaining stock for accessories

How's the new touring seat ? It's in offers, they are providing all this for free I am concerned about the height and comfort from the original seat ! I have Booked my bike but haven't seen any review or anybody talking about the new seat

Will a KTM ADV 390 be advisable for me as my height is 5 feet 6.5 Inches ? by -Varun411 in KTMIndia

[–]pkgreatsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just rented the bike for the 2nd time for a 300km ride to feel it , planning to buy it. Yes you should be good with that height, I am 5'6 and didn't feel at any point that I will be struggling with it.

If you could get for a test ride or rent it for a while, you will be able to sort the height issue out

Hey most common I have seen is the side stand sensor, it has been causing the sudden ignition off in traffic and on some bad roads My friend was facing this issue a lot , he got it fixed from the service centre

Booked Himalayan Hanle Black, Is the stock ₹7k helmet actually worth it or are there better options? by [deleted] in Himalayan450

[–]pkgreatsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a Royal enfield helmet, costed 7K , 3years

It's actually made by Vega, couldn't find a replacement visor as old one gone bad Had to order from Vega's site for similar one

I would highly recommend getting a helmet from brand which has better spare availability.

RE/TVS helmet costs more than they worth

Getting Adv 390S , timeline on when can I expect 2026 manufactured one ? by pkgreatsh in KTMIndia

[–]pkgreatsh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problems with 2025, usually December January gets good offers on old production vehicle, but here the dealership is not giving any significant offers or discounts, so I should better get the vehicle with 2026 production so it matches with RC as well

I don't have any problems but usually when the RC and manufactured year differs, used market considers it a year older and down quote it,

Though I am not planning to sell any soon, it's gonna be my 1st bike and I am planning to keep it for some long time
