Question 11

Q. What is maintenance and service cost of KTM Duke 390?

Answer

After some 15k km you have to change the tyres, chain sprocket, brake flush, radiator flush, then some brocken seals of front shocks. All these together if it comes in a service which will cost you around 10k without tyres. Tyres will be another 10k for metzellers. So yearly minimum you can expect of 20k. It need to be serviced every 7500km and if ride less then ofcourse the service cost will come down.

Answer

Average 4 monthly routine service costs 3.5k including engine oil and other replaceables like spark plug air filter, oil filter. Tyres must be maintained in good condition and must be replaced after every 10k but can be extended with some risk upto 12k kms or every 3 years but can be extended upto 4 years with a minor risk, among both whichever occurs earlier. Now some cheap options also available from Ceat and Mrf under 10k for both tyres and with more kms life. Battery will cost 4k every 3 years, Front fork oil seal replacement 1.2k,Chain sprocket 4kFront fork pipe 6k.Sometimes coolant pump seal gives away 2k.But it's all worth the amazing experience you gain with this rocket.

Answer

This is a subjective question. Its completely going to depend on how you ride and where you ride. Now if you are usually using bad or broken roads your tyres will wear out. Stock metz m5 will cost you 15k. These tyres have a life of about 8k kms only. Other than that your front rims if you break will cost you about 6k rear rims around 5k. Basic service will cost you about 2k. Clutch cable around 187 rupees. If you ride about very nicely you might just incur the service cost that's all..but if you are riding nicely then why buy a d390. GO for a bike you want to ride under 60, avoid potholes, not jump on speed breakers..something like a bullet..no offense bro...

Question 12

Q. Does BS6 Duke 390 has quick shifter?

Answer

Yes, & it's bidirectional, which means full clutch less, up-shift & downshift as well. & it's pretty impressive.but for using this feature, I would recommend to use it when your bike is 7000+ rpm. in lower RPM the engine jerks.

Answer

If your a rider ull be fine... If its your first bike then prob not... im 5'7' and the duke was my first bike and it felt big and heavy when I first rode it, I was pretty scared I bought a bike that was maybe too big for me... a few months later the duke feels awesome. It is light and fits my height perfectly. I am ready for a larger bike. Perspective.

The KTM Duke is a rather high seated bike and reaching the floor would be a full stretch. Besides it is a heavy bike and handling it requires a certain degree of physical strength. Try it personally and find out for yourself.

Question 15

Q. Can we reduce the seat height of Duke 390 without compromising its safety dynamics?

Answer

Wow, I know this post is a year old, but I’m sad to see so much discouragement. You will get an inch from the seat just in break in, plus another inch can be had with reshaping, making it narrower, or a custom seat. A good suspension shop can also lower the bike, without changing its engineering. My Duke 390 is my track bike and it’s terrific. I’m 5’2” 157 cm.

Answer

Hi Vamsy, i am 5”6 inches tall. I myself tried multiple options to decrease seat height. Trust me, there is no way wherein you can reduce the seat height. Maximum you can shave the seat and lower the height by half a inch at max. I don’t prefer changing the suspension setup because Duke390 is a beast when it comes to pickup and speed. At that speed if by chance you hot a pothole, speedbreaker, or apply sudden brakes, inapropriate suspension setup will lead you to lose balance over the bike.

Answer

Nope, you cannot. There is no such option to do that. You got to use it as it is because it is designed in such a way. Other options are you can get used to wearing boots, shoes with high heels etc. but reducing the seat height is not an option.

Question 18

Q. My height is 5.3 can i purchase this bike - Duke 390?

Answer

Hey Abhishek, that depends on how much experience and expertise you have in terms of riding fast bikes.Duke 390 has a very high compression engine, in fact it’s the only fastest bike in India which is having highest pick-up and speed in the price range it is sold. There is no bike which can perform better than Duke 390 in terms of that price bracket.Hence, if you are a really good rider, Height shouldn’t be an issue. Still I would suggest you to take a test ride from showroom and test your limits. According to me, during the test ride you should be focused on riding the bike extremely slow and try to take U-turns in slow speed and check wether you are comfortable doing so ? If yes. Go for it.

Answer

Hey buddy, don't worry about the height because my height is also 5.3 and i own duke 390 bs6 version and the seat height is 830 but i can manage it very well because i was using duke 200 before. well i can touch the ground half from both side. it's not about height it's all about how you control the bike.

Answer

Hey Abhishek! Why dont you have a sit on it and check it out. But one word of advice - dont let height keep you from getting onto a bike - I have ridden bikes on which even climbing on was a pain.. but once you get going you get used to it. And with time you can figure out how to use just one foot to get the job done. for instance - while pushing the bike bac=k while sitting on it takes effort.. when on a tall bike, just hop off and push it back.

Question 19

Q. Is KTM 390 Duke suitable for long drive with pillion rider?

Answer

It's perfect.At 61 years, my wife and I ride from Pune to Lonavla and beyond.Roads should be perfect, because you travel at a minimum speed of 80 kms and touching upto 125 kms.It's easily capable of touching 160 kms / he.But my age and roads are not made for rides above 80 kms I generally ride at 80 - 90 - 100 kms per hour.In short it's a perfect bike for two.we reach our destination so quick that we are fresh.Best part is the ABS on both wheels which makes rides very very safe.

Answer

It might not be comfortable for the pillion otherwise the rider the totally comfortable. The pillion seat is little bit more higher so at pillion seat men will be comfortable but ladies might have some problem in long rides

Answer

If you have less Luggage with you, then its really comfortable with the pillion. But you can go for a long ride with more luggage without pillion.

Question 20

Q. Is there some issues in DUKE 390?

Answer

Yes.. There are some issues which most of the people are not aware of... However, these issues are not that problematic that’s why they are not that much highlighted. Issue 1 - Call audio routing when using bluetooth on an iphone. So, this issue occurs when we are using an iphone with wired earphones. If we use Bluetooth wireless AirPods then there is no issue. Let’s consider that we are using wired earphones with an iphone. We have paired the iphone to our bike Duke 390. Now we get a call, we recieved the call using the handlebar button, the audio will not be there in the earphones.. it will not go to speaker phone also and not even on phone... if in case you are riding, you have to manually select the audio to headphones by clicking on the speaker icon on your iphone touchscreen. This means you have to stop, take phone out of your pocket then recieve the call.. whereas, if you are using an android phone it automatically routes to earphones. Issue 2 - If you are riding in traffic or slow moving traffic you will notice that the RPM is not stable most of the times which sometimes might give you a j**k in the initial stage and also you will face lots and lots of heat coming out from engine / radiator fan being in traffic near your legs. The exhaust system is not given beneath the bike unlike RR310 so you will feel the heat directly on your legs. Issue 3 - If you ride it on uneven roads or on a road which is not very well maintained.. has potholes.. uneven surfaces etc. You will face lot of vibration in the bike as the parts gets loosened up easily... in every service you have to inform them about the vibration, they will try to fix it.. but again after sometime that vibration will re-occur if you ride on such roads or repeatedly on high RPM’s above 6,500. Issue 4 - The front brake and abs functionality is amazing and flawless.. but when it comes to the rear brakes it is not that efficient... you have to literally press the rear brake pedal with your ankle instead of toes in order to stop the bike in a panic situation or emergency...

Answer

37k Kms and not a single issue. Just remember that you need to always go to the authorized service centre. Spares are cheap and also the service network is vast. Remember that this is not a bike for faint-hearted people. If you are thinking about mileage or things like economy then buy a splendor. I did manage to break the rims 3 times, clutch plate one, front form oil seals 5 times odd. broke my 4th gear as well. Never felt a dent in my pocket. Goes to 160+ so have fun...

Answer

Nope. Not even one. Apart from the stock tyres. Metzelers are racing tyres and will not last long. i have been using duke 390 and it still runs like a new brand new bike. considering you to a time to time service. Fuel tank is not that big but in a full (approx 10 litres, not considering reserve fuel) tank you can still manage around 240 kms depending on your riding style. i a have managed to achieve 35-37 kmpl in city riding
