And can someone recommend a decent horn too? The ones I got with the bike are really pathetic. | |

![]() On the other hand mine is already on OLX. Suddenly smitten on a beautiful unused or well maintained to put it other way E220 ![]() KTM 390 has changed my riding life and has taken me back exactly to 2004 when i got my 500cc. Mind says keep it but heart says E220 ![]() The VW horns are direct replacements and provide good sound. To me Stebel which can fail anyday is working very well. The quality of switches used are really bad is what i feel. They have not given up but the usage of the switch makes me feel the plastic quality is way below par. | |

| ![]() Woah; that is really short life. Aren't these the same contact less switches Bajaj use on their motorcycles? I thought they were trouble free units. This is a concern. |

Even i was not happy with the lighting on the 390, and was planning to install 2 LED based auxiliary light in addition to the headlight. Any leads on that direction would be helpful. | |

Osram is almost white but Philips is near yellow. I have the Osram's in my Ritz and the Philips in my Ninja and i prefer the Philips anyday (or night ![]() Also with Osram's near white light color, visibility is reduced on wet roads and in rainy weather. Suggest you go ahead with Philips. They cost around 600 bucks per bulb. Life is much better than Osram's too. I've been able to comfortably ride (blore to chennai ; blore to salem, etc.) astride the ninja at night at triple digits with the Philips bulb on the ninja. Nightbreakers are almost white and visibility is reduced on wet roads and in rainy weather. Quote:

i am in complete agreement with your though that even with philips Xtreme, the light may improve, but way below what we would like to have. The same roads appear so different when i am on the car vs when on bike. I was contemplating additional auxillary lights, on the likes of denali, but a cost effective version. consumes about 5-10 watts per pod. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/denal...s-and-m8-mount any leads on availability of similar products in india?? | |

| ![]() I've completed 390kms on my D390. I'm getting a mileage of about 23kmpl with 95% riding done in city traffic. Is the mileage going to increase after the first service? Now coming to the running-in process, my S.A. said I have to keep it below 70-80km/h for the first 1k kms but the manual says below 7.5k rpm and avoid full throttle. What did you guys follow? Till now, I have shifted at around 5k rpm and taken her upto 7k a few times. Hit a max speed of 110kmph at 6-6.5k rpm. Hope it's alright? Also wanted to know if fellow D390 owners faced a few problems that I'm facing: 1) Footpegs vibrate with high frequency between 3-4k rpm. 2) Rear number plate overhang shakes because of even the smallest bumps on the road. These might not be big problems but they are irritating. Maybe because my previous ride was an R15. Nothing beats the build quality of the R15! Other than these small quirks, completely in love with the duke! No wonder I completed 390 kms in just 6 days riding only in the city ![]() Btw, we should meet up for a small ride sometime! Cheers! |
