Michelin Pilot Street Radials - Duke 390
So, I just purchased a Duke 390 from the original owner. Bike still had the original tires from 2022 when he bought it (~5,500 miles).
They need to be replaced. I’ve been looking at maybe going with the Michelin Pilot Street Radials. Seems to have pretty good reviews online.
Anyone on this sub running them on their 390? If so, how do you like them? Most curious to know about longevity and wet surface performance (I live in Asia, lots of rain here).

Love my Duke 390!
Picked up this one owner Duke 390, and it’s awesome. Love the torque and how light and maneuverable the bike is. I’m bleeding orange for life after this thing. So much character and happy to be on the KTM team!

Please recommend.This is gonna be my first bike so I don't want to regret.
I'm planning to buy a duke 250 gen 3 in about 1 month. But one thing I'm sceptical about is whether I should buy it or wait for an update.
Duke 250 got the mechanical and structural update ( chassis, body and engine ) in SEPTEMBER 2023.
And after a year - TFT and headlight ( not as major as September 2023 )
Even the headlight throw isn't satisfactory.
Now it's been 2 yrs and there is no such update except colour .
Also in its competition there are bikes like ns400z , triumph T4/speed ( 350cc remodeled)
Bajaj's own n160ss got some good features a week ago and those gonna spread to it's other segment for sure.
Apache rtr310 also got 25k gst price reduction.
( This has some serious electronic package TPMS, cruise , riding modes , etc )
All I wanna say is that , now duke is at a competitive side so idk expecting an update is logical or not.
Also there are rooms for improvement - (from my pov )
Headlight brightness.
Exhaust note .
Adjustable levers ,
Crawl feature ( if not cruise control - rtr310 have this)
Traction control.
Low end jerkyness
At last i know its a performance segment bike and these features might not even a thing to complain about... But sometimes it's emotions too ...of not regretting and too when i can wait ( yeah not indefinitely)

Pop/Clicking noise in KTM DUKE 250 2024 model.
After washing my bike, I noticed this tik-tik/clicking sound near the spark-plug area during a cold start. The bike eventually stalls by itself. Once it fully dries, the sound disappears.
What could be causing this, and what’s the solution?

2013 KTM Duke 200
Does anybody know a reliable website that can quickly deliver a rear sprocket bearing carrier? (I believe that's what he said it's called)
My fiancé has the above model and the only ones he can find don't deliver until the end of the month... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

10–12 Days for a Fuel Injector? Seriously, KTM?
I've been a KTM fan since I was a kid, so honestly, this is not the kind of experience I expected from KTM.
My Duke 250's fuel injector has gone bad, and the bigger issue right now isn't even the part failing. It's the fact that I'm being told it can take around 10–12 days just to get the replacement.
I'm still having to ride the bike like this. The bike shuts off randomly at different places and I have to keep restarting it. It's frustrating, and honestly, it feels embarrassing too.
I bought a KTM because I've always had that image of KTM being a premium brand. Whenever I ride it, I genuinely feel proud of the bike. I've been a KTM fan since childhood, so maybe that's why this bothers me more.
Also, I want to be clear that I have no complaint against the Mayur Bajaj Dehradun service centre staff.
The people there have actually been really good. There's a guy, I think his name is Suraj, who's very polite and handles everything properly. The senior person there is also quite good, and the mechanics seem professional and know what they're doing.
The problem is simply the parts availability.
Customers end up getting angry at the service centre, but honestly, what can the mechanics or staff do if the required part itself isn't available?
A fuel injector or fuel pump isn't some cosmetic part that you can wait weeks for. These are basic and important components of the bike. If a customer has to wait 10–12 days for something like this, it really doesn't feel like the experience you would expect from a premium brand.
KTM, please work on this. Keep essential parts like fuel injectors, fuel pumps and other critical components available at your authorised service centres, or at least make sure they can be arranged quickly.
I'm not posting this because I hate KTM. Quite the opposite. I've loved this brand since I was a kid, and that's exactly why I want KTM to improve on things like this.

Picked up my first Duke yesterday
Hello people. So I joined the line of Duke owners yesterday and I'm very happy with it. It's a 2017 model I picked up used but so far is running beautifully (and I got a warranty package from the dealer just in case anyway).
I actually wasn't in the market for a Duke, I went to that dealer to test ride another bike but when I saw this baby there it just called out to me. I ended up taking it for a spin and that was it. I didn't even bother with the other bike, I bought this one and rode it straight home.
Took it for my first fun run this morning and if I didn't have shit to do around home I could have been out all day, it just suits what I wanted a bike to do perfectly.
So yeah, very happy new owner here 😁
Edit: it's a 390 Duke, just realised I left that part out.

2023 390 missing pieces
I bought the bike new in 2024 but just started riding it. Life happens. It has just over 500 miles on it and I went to do the first oil change and the plastic covers I am supposed to remove are not there. Looks like there are some missing bolts with oil slowly dripping out of too.

Can You Figure Out Which Throttle Body Sensor Might Be Faulty???
2020 KTM Duke 250 - Uncontrolled High RPM (5k-7k) & Idle Issues
Hey everyone,
I’m dealing with an issue on my 2020 KTM Duke 250 (30k km) where the RPMs climb to 5,000–7,000 without throttle input and stay there.
The Symptoms:
Cold starts are normal, but giving any throttle (even in neutral) causes the RPMs to lock high. Turning the key off sometimes resets it temporarily, but it returns while riding. Intermittent Check Engine Light (comes on and goes off after a few days).
Troubleshooting Done So Far:
Throttle Body: Cleaned and inspected; looks good.
Stepper Motor (IACV): Replaced. The bike initially wouldn't start. Pushing the valve pin manually lets it idle briefly before stalling.
MAP Sensor: Replaced; no change.
TPS (Throttle Position Sensor): Waiting on the replacement part to arrive.
Has anyone experienced this exact issue? Could a failing TPS be the culprit, or am I missing something? Appreciate any advice!

What are my options regarding this issue with the fuel cap?
So basically, I lent my dad some money which he never paid back and is under the assumption his debt is my debt towards him so he did this to my brand new motorbike.

Ragazzi… ho bisogno di un aiuto
Mio fratello oggi prende la moto, torna a casa e la moto fa un rumore metalicco(sembra) stranissimo nella parte dove c’è il pistone ( o almeno credo), in questo momento sono super stressato, PERFAVORE se qualcuno riconosce questo problema, oppure mi sa dare qualche consiglio, sono tutt’orecchie, sono disperato. La mia prima moto, presa sudando, guidata per 2 mesi, un divertimento puro, fino a poco.
Sono disperato perché sembra proprio un brutto rumore…
Nessuna spia sul display
