KTM Duke 200 bs4 "Low Oil Pressure" even after multiple service
Hi everyone,
I'm really worried about my bike and would appreciate any advice from people who have faced something similar.
Before my regular service, my bike started showing the "Low Oil Pressure" warning occasionally. Everything else was working fine, so I thought I'd get it serviced since it was due anyway.
After the service, I rode the bike home and within about 25 km, the same Low Oil Pressure warning appeared again. I immediately called the service center, and they told me not to worry, saying it was probably a temporary error that would settle after riding for some time.
Unfortunately, it never went away. It's been almost 2 months, and the warning kept appearing.
Recently, I went back to KTM Service Station, Gurgaon Sector 18 because my chain set also needed replacement. While submitting the bike, I specifically requested them to check the Low Oil Pressure issue as well.
They replaced the chain set and also changed:
Oil seal
Oil pressure switch
(I'll attach the detailed bill.)
However, as soon as I left the service center and started riding, the Low Oil Pressure warning appeared again. I went straight back and informed them.
The technician checked the bike and asked me to leave it with them for further diagnosis. Later, they called and said that engine oil and coolant were mixing, which was affecting the oil flow. They shared photos of the issue (I'll attach those as well). I approved the repair, and they charged me around ₹1,000.
The next day I collected the bike. It was running smoothly. I rode around 30 km that night without any issues.
But today morning, during a short ride, the Low Oil Pressure warning started blinking again.
Since the KTM service center was nearby, I went there immediately. This time they told me they might have to open the engine to inspect it for internal damage, rust, coolant contamination, or other issues.
They also said that just opening the engine would cost around ₹6,000, and any additional parts, repairs, and labor would be charged separately.
What surprised me even more was that one of the
KTM technicians said:
"This is the first time we've seen a case like this."
That honestly made me even more worried.
I absolutely love my bike and don't want to make the wrong decision or end up spending a huge amount without understanding the actual root cause.
Has anyone here experienced something similar?
Could there be another possible cause for repeated Low Oil Pressure warnings?
Does opening the engine sound like the correct next step?
Is there anything specific I should ask the service center to check before approving such an expensive repair?
Should I consider getting a second opinion from another KTM service center?
Any suggestions or experiences would really help. Thank you!
