wash the bike, change the engine oil, oil strainer and oil filter, adjusted the chain slackness, adjusted the accelerator lever free play ( on my insistence), check battery, coolant levels, vacuum under the seats, grease some points, tighten all the bolts and that's it. I believe that is what they do at service as I was there throughout the service. I was surprised to note how clean the whole work area was. Just a few bolts removed and fitted back. That's it Regarding chain slackening, check if it is really slack. I think the play should be about 3mm-5mm. there is a sticker on the bike indicating the same. you can just tug the chain with your finger and see if the play is more. If it is more then adjustment is required else not necessary and only lubrication is done | |

Guys at Pune, take part in the race. It will be on some Go karting venue and it is not about speed,( of course in a Go kart track with all those bends and U turns one can't race a Duke actually) it is more of your riding skills, the way you take a corner, braking etc.. Enjoy and Have fun | |

Other causes that have been reported, but which cannot be reasonably implicated is such new bikes, are clogged injectors, faulty puel pump, and most importantly (and commonly - thanks to our fuel quality), clogged fuel filter. Even more remote - faulty spark plug gap/worn out plug, some error code in your ECU, weak/run down battery. | |

Will they be cleaning the fuel filter during the service? Or do we have to insist on it? | |

In typical Bullet vernacular parlance, it is "hawa pakadna" when you whack open the throttle. KTM guys are usually very bemused by Bulleteer-Duke combo riders. ![]() The fuel pressure was low (measured in bars) so that pointed to a cloged fuel filter. And surprisingly, in spite of stationary storage, even the air filter was clogged. Marked change cleaning of both made. Bike jumps and hops like before (something I have always loved about the baby 200 over the more "mature" 390). Last edited by ebonho : 13th December 2013 at 13:25. | |

| ![]() Guys, got this self study Module for 390 over net. the doc pretty much gives an exploded view of many of the systems in the engine. Just for academic purpose.. http://www.ktm.com/fileadmin/user_up...SSM_902_EN.pdf |

| ![]() Wasn't Sure where to post this. But hope this is true. ![]() http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...ied/24161.html The design of the swing arm gives us hope that this could be the 390 we are waiting for. |
