I doubt issue is with your battery as you say the starter cranks fine but the motorcycle fails to fire. Anyhow follow this thread to diagnose your electricals; Understanding & troubleshooting Motorcycle Charging Systems I hope all your consumables have been changed religiously cause that's the most obvious cause for the Motorcycle to not fire. If the above doesn't give you anything then it would be a good time to run a diagnostic test on your Motorcycle. Cheers, A.P. |

| ![]() I'm facing this weird issue where the engine starts sputtering on slopes at times. Kind of like water being present in the fuel. Tank was cleaned recently and there were no problems for a while before this started. Does this happen if it's a fuel pump issue? I was informed of a lower fuel pump pressure issue during last service. |

Because it had worn out, the self start was slipping while cranking it. There were fine particles in the oil because of the grinding and the oil and oil filter were also changed. ![]() The faulty part ![]() After disassembly | |

| ![]() Is there any news on a Duke 390 refresh? I really want one. I'm just wondering whether I should wait for a refresh or get a used one. |

| ![]() Any recommendations for a competent independent garage/mechanic in Bangalore to get my 390 serviced? Thanks. |

Indimotard Adventures, Greasehouse Garage: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vVg7AqjrRWMCDD6G7 A bit expensive but thorough. I've got my Himalayan serviced there. | |

Coming to the private garages, it looks rosy at the beginning but fades out once a good mechanic leaves the place or becomes lazy. The parts sourced are also questionable. My thryst with Indimotard was similar. It was all good for a couple of services before the SA took off. The new guy was unable to handle the situation and things turned terrible. My Bhutan ride a couple of years earlier was an absolute nightmare for me and my companions with new sprocket bearing without any name or nomenclature failing at 1750 odd kms while the OE lasted 41000 kms. This failure later resulted in an engine rebuild. Front disk pads falling off during late evening and bike stalling were other issues after a service here. While the above is my experience, some might still say this is the best. If it is just a regular service, stay with the bike, hang around and watch for yourself at these places. | ||

Cannot stress how much I agree with you. The beauty of KTM is it's authorized service. And ready flow of parts. As a 10+ years battered Bullet owner I'd need my head checked to jump back into the private mechanic spares shops in Nana Peth routine. Cheers, Doc | |

| ![]() My Duke 390 rear wheel jammed today, had to remove the lever to make it move. Took to a local service and they say I need to change the master cylinder. Any idea how much the cylinder may cost. Everything was perfectly working, till I got it serviced during which they changed the brake liners. Is there a jugaad to make the cylinder work? |

I don't remember the exact amount since I'd also got the clutch replaced along with a full service that time. | |

To confirm that the master cylinder is faulty, when the back brake is jammed, open the bleed screw a bit (just loosen, not remove). This relieves pressure in the line and the brake should release. Then tighten the bleed screw. If the brake doesn't release, the caliper itself might be the problem. | |
