Third service for my Duke 250 at 5,000 km – what should I get checked?

Hey everyone,

My KTM Duke 250 is about to hit 5,000 km, and I'm planning to get its third service done soon.

I wanted to ask what all I should specifically get checked or replaced during this service to keep the bike in the best possible condition. Apart from the regular service, are there any preventive maintenance tips you recommend?

Also, I've noticed a weird sound coming from the front disc/brake area. It isn't always there, but it's noticeable sometimes. Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be the brake pads, rotor, or something else? Is it something I should be worried about?

I'd really appreciate any advice from experienced Duke 250 owners on keeping the bike healthy for the long run.

Thanks in advance!

Need help with JB Law College Guwahati admission process (2026)

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to apply to JB Law College, Guwahati, but I'm really confused about the admission process.

I even visited the college personally to ask about the entrance exam, admission procedure, and application process, but unfortunately I didn't get any clear answers from the office.

Can anyone please help me with these questions?

When will the entrance exam application/form fill-up start?

How do I apply for admission?

What are the steps after submitting the application?

Is there an entrance test and interview?

What documents are required for admission?

I'd really appreciate it if any current student or recent applicant could explain the complete process. Thanks in advance!

Someone’s bike fell onto my parked bike and snapped this bracket. What part is this and how much will it cost?

Bad morning for me today. Someone's bike fell onto my parked bike and caused this damage

It looks like the rear passenger footpeg bracket/hanger has snapped. The footpeg itself seems okay, but the mounting bracket is broken.

Can anyone identify the exact part that needs replacing and give me a rough estimate

Hey everyone, I need some serious advice regarding a massive fraud issue I’m facing.

I purchased a KTM Duke 250 on October 9, and it has now been over 7 months. I still haven’t received my number plate or RC. Initially, I followed up multiple times with the dealer—both politely and firmly. Their usual excuse was that the Guwahati DTO office had restricted them from selling or processing registrations due to pending fines and hearings.

Well, things have escalated, and the truth is out: they have completely scammed us. The dealer, Zeus Mercantile, is now closed down. The employee I was dealing with has resigned and is no longer picking up my calls.

I’ve also come to know that I’m not the only one affected. There are more than 10 customers facing the exact same issue with this dealer.

I have already filed a police complaint and raised the issue directly to the DTO, but unfortunately, there has been absolutely no positive news or progress yet.

At this point, we need to take strict legal action against the owner/directors, but I want to understand the right way to proceed now that they have absconded. Has anyone here faced a similar dealership scam? What would be the most effective way to handle this—escalating to an FIR, approaching consumer court, dragging the manufacturer (KTM India) into it, or any other route?

Any guidance, legal advice, or suggestions on how to escalate this in Guwahati would really help. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

I’m going in for my second service tomorrow at around 3000 km. Lately, the bike feels a bit rough while riding not as smooth as before. I don’t ride it very frequently either, so I’m a bit concerned.

What should I specifically ask the service center to check or fix so the bike feels as good as new again? Any tips or things I should keep in mind?

Appreciate the help.
