Do ktm duke 390 performs is good or bad
3 years ago
Abhi
The ktm duke 390 is a good bike an all-round performer. Light, agile, versatile, and super strong, the ktm duke 390 is the all-around perfect choice i ever made it is comfortable on the road, even at high speeds. It's too much fun when the road gets twisty because of all that power from the engine and the grip from the tires.

Best in the segment on power & looks

- i was struggling between re gt 535 and this bike initially. But, buying this bike was pretty awesome. Got it in 12th day since booking, tough i wasn't in hurry (was told to wait for atleast a month). - king of highways, no doubt. Crosses 100kmph within seconds. I liked how it zoom passed many bikes. Have ridden this machine 765kms in a day and comfort was unexpected (in a good way). - this mean machine is famous for its power & looks. Honestly, it attracted me with its looks. Performance wise it is preferable for highways as in mumbai traffic i have experienced atacama heat. I have also ridden it in chocked up traffic with shorts & slippers on, and trust me you don't want to experience hellfire. - service cost cost is on moderate side in terms of cost. Replacement of tyres in 12000-15000kms will cost you around rs.16500 - rs.19000. After completion of free services it costs you around rs.3700/- to 5000/-approx.Only problem i faced is the screw from the engine guard broke thrice, i tried replacing it with good quality s.S. One but even that comes loose (it depends on bike to bike as my friend with duke 250 didn't faced this problem at all) - pros: looks, power & comfort - cons: mileage (19-22 in city congestion & 22-27 on highways), tft screen - it turns off suddenly sometimes. Also it is pretty costly.

Well let me start with negative points.1) engine vibration- right from start, all the time you sit on it. 2) sound- horrible, if you stay in a busy neighborhood, you will be ashamed to start the bike.3) engine heating - it will burn your thigh and knee area, if you get stuck in traffic. Also engine shuts down sometimes because of heating. Pretty embarrassing.4) my own bike has starting problem from very first day. Even after servicing parts.5) seat is rock hard. Up to 60-70 speed you will feel almost every pebble on the road. Shock-absorber is non existent up to those speeds. So barely you can sit on it little more than an hour.6) there is some issue with fuel pumps. They do not last long and they will cost around 4000 rs. Now about positive points 1) mind boggling acceleration. If you are not strong and fit, this is not the bike for you. In traffic signals, when light goes green, few times i twisted the throttle to full and every other bikes, cars faded away, every time. 2) gearing ratio is ok. Although first gear is too short, almost never used it. In third gear you can leave the throttle, eat pizza and roam around the city at ~25 kph. Cruising is possible fourth gear at 40 kph , in fifth gear 50 kph and in 6th gear 60 kph.In 6th gear from 60 to 100-110 kph vibration is minimum, you can cruise for long hours (only the hard seat will not let you), although not as good as a perfect cruiser but manageable.3) if you can ride a bicycle then with this you can hit the corners like motogp racers (that is the feeling you will have). This is the thing, i guess the bike is made for,4) the engine braking along with actual braking is decent enough and it saved my life few times. 5) mileage - !!! yes it is mileage. In city i consistently got 26 kpl. And in highway tour, which i have made only one, i have got more than 37 kpl. But this is from calculation, not exact reading (reading gave 32 kpl in last 100 km, in that i believe 40 km was inside city and rest on highway).This is a damn good engine for touring. That is what exactly bajaj did, they made dominiar 400 with this engine.Just an advice- if you own a car or a bike, you need to treat it as a living being and take care accordingly.

The buying experience was really good. They delivered the bike within a day. Speaking about the riding experience the bike has got lot of power. What i feel is that the initial torque should have been better. Its jerky at lower rpms. Its a little pain to ride in the city at lower rpm. The bike comes alive only after 5000rpm. 7500rpm is the sweet spot. After 7.5k rpm the real pocket rocket pulls you. The seat is really hard. After riding for more than 2 hours you feel that you are sitting on a rock. The metzelers give awesome grip. But for Indian road i feel michelins are better. The bike is light weight so its pretty easy to maneuver in the city. If it has good low end torque it would have been awesome to ride in the city. Braking department is good. But not that good. It lacks the initial bite. I guess they should have added a option of dual disc brakes since this crosses 150+kmph easily. The abs gives good confidence to brake hard in any conditions . There have been some problems in my bike. 1) engine oil leaking. 2) fuel leaking from the fuel filter. Servicing the bike is easy. Just change the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter , air filter, spark plug that's it. You can even do it at home. I had recently serviced my friends duke 200 by myself. 5000kms more to go for my bike to get serviced. The average mileage you get is around 22-25kmpl. My bike has done almost 3000kms and I've been continuously monitoring the mileage. I ride in both highway and city mixed. After third service ie once i cross 16k kms. I will be installing power tronic ecu. They say the bike gets smoother and will have good low end torque. It also unlocks the rpm limit.
Pros: good mid and top end torque
nice looks
abs standard
sticky metzelers
digital instrument cluster
Cons: vibrations
low end torque

Ktm duke 390 not worth it
7 years ago
Kuber Bhatia
I bought ktm duke 390 in august 2016 and since i have bought this bike it was giving me perpetual problem. There were vibrations, engine oil problems and the list goes on. But today i had a close escape. While coming back from office my bike started giving a very unusual, loud noise and suddenly i heard a blast. When i checked, the bike's engine (which is made up of high-end aluminium, as they claim) had a huge crack. The bike could have caught fire or the oil could have spilled over me. #Ktm #ktmindia #ktmduke #ktmduke390

Style ok for villagers.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox engine heat, oil leakage, easily getting 'n' while riding, poor gear box, fibre body, small tank, 25 kmpl.
Ride quality & handling vvery poor comfort seat, suspension, alloy damage, brakes very poor abs is just for word only. Rear brake very poor, poor service (high cost). Only for 135 kmph riding not for (179 kmph has sure accident in indian roads).
Final words don't buy this (if u interested go for 2nd hand rs 1.30Lakhs enough to get this)
areas of improvement don't buy, i waste my money and dreams. Don't consider only money i mistake on this. Buy benelli, cbr, ninja, r3.
